Focal Point ALVOR FULL DEPTH RADIANT Installation & User'S Instructions Download Page 5

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances operating in the

same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation. If spillage is detected when commissioning the appli-

ance, then amongst other problems there may be insufficient natural ventilation for correct operation of the flue. If the appliance does

not spill with the windows open, but spillage is detected with the windows closed, this demonstrates a lack of natural ventilation. If

spillage is still detected with the windows open, the flue is at fault. Installation of an air brick is the best solution to lack of ventilation.

Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Vents fitted under or within the immediate vicinity of the

appliance must not be used as adverse effects to the operation of the ODS may occur. Spillage detected during commissioning is almost

always a result of poor flue performance that cannot be corrected by any amount of ventilation. For Republic of Ireland ventilation may

be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.

This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietary flue boxes

provided that the minimum dimensions shown in figure 2 are com-

plied with.

Constructional Note: The frame of the fire, any back panel or

other infill panels, and the flue box must be sealed together so that

there is no possibility of leakage between them. Adequate clear-

ances to combustible materials (e.g. false chimney breast construc-

tion) must be maintained.

The  manufacturers’  instructions  for  fitting  the  prefabri-

cated box shall be complied with at all times. To fit the fire

using the cable fixing kit, some minor adaption may be necessary

for certain flue boxes. A check should be made to ensure the fire-

box does not obscure the flue box outlet. The firebox, base of the

flue box, and hearth below may be drilled to allow plugs and screws

to secure installation. It is important that the sealing requirements

of the appliance are met at all times and that the flue box is well

sealed to any back or infill panel. Note: The DEPTH dimension is

inclusive of any back or infill panel.

Stand the carton the right way up, cut the strapping bands and remove the top endcap. Read all the instructions before continuing to unpack

or install this appliance.

Remove the box containing the firefront, and the bags containing the ceramic components. Remove the cardboard packing pieces, and any other

bags or boxes containing fittings or other parts. When all loose parts have been removed, the outer sleeve may be lifted off to reveal the appli-

ance. Check that the components supplied correlate with the component checklist given in section 7.1. Please dispose of all the packaging mate-

rials at your local recycling centre.
