Building Regulations and Standards issued as relevant by the
Department of the Environment or the Scottish Development
Department.
In the Republic of Ireland installation should be carried out in
accordance with IS813, ICP3, IS327, Building Regulations, Codes of
Practice, the manufacturers instructions and any other rules in force.
Failure to comply with the above could leave the installer liable to
prosecution and invalidate the appliance warranty.
The appliance must not be installed in a room containing a bath or
shower or where steam may be present.
Ventilation
No purpose provided ventilation is normally required when this
appliance is installed in the UK. Where other appliances operate in
the same room or space then these should be considered when
sizing air vents. The spillage test in the section commissioning may
indicate that purpose provided ventilation is required. Where fitted
ventilation must comply with BS5440 part 2. For the Republic of
Ireland the ventilation requirements may vary and if unsure then
advice should be sought from the relevant authorities.
Safety instructions for the user: see chapter 9.
3. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Note:
Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs.
Therefore it is of importance that you do not use the appliance
shortly after a renovation of the home. Because of the natural
circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building
materials, carpet etc. will be attracted. These components can settle
themselves down onto cold surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown
vinyl wallpaper placed too near to the appliance may become
scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind when installing
the appliance.
3.1 Builders opening and surround
The appliance can be installed in the following situations:
In a non-combustible fireplace or builders opening. This could be
either an existing builders opening or a new made prefab builders
opening. For the measurements, see figure 1 and index.
Although the appliance is tested for installation without a hearth, the
appliance must not stand on combustible materials or carpets. If the
appliance is placed on a combustible floor then a fibrelux or similar
heatproof board of 12 mm thickness should be placed under it. Any
under floor vents or openings within the builders opening should be
sealed off.
Do not place the lintel, surround or marble stone directly onto the
appliance. If possible, apply a lintel made of cement or something
similar.
