INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

If the appliance is to be sited near a disused or unserviceable fireplace served by a natural draught flue then the old
flue must be sealed off. It will be necessary to ventilate the old flue to prevent condensation and dampness forming,
however any air vent used to ventilate the old flue must not be sited within 500mm of this appliance. If the flue can
be ventilated to the outside of the building then this is usually the best solution. If in doubt then advice should be
sought from a local building control officer. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted. If the appliance is to be
mounted on a newly fabricated area of wall that also serves the purpose of sealing off the old flue then it is very
important that there are no holes, gaps or otherwise in this wall that will allow draughts from the old flue to enter
the room, especially directly behind the appliance. Such draughts could affect the performance of the ODS system
and result in nuisance cutting out, for example. If the gas supply pipe is to enter the appliance from the rear, i.e.
emerge from the wall behind the appliance then any hole in the wall from which the pipe emerges must be tightly
sealed.
Any existing under grate draught device should be sealed off to prevent loss of heat or creation of draughts. It is
possible to install the appliance onto certain types of combustible materials - see section entitled 'Clearances to
combustible materials'.

ROOM SIZING

The room size should be a minimum of 23m

3

(e.g. 10’1” x 10’1” x 8’) to allow adequate circulation of air and

ensure the correct operation of the fire.This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not be
separated by a door.To calculate a room size in cubic metres (m

3

) divide the room volume in cubic feet (ft

3

) by

35.3.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

This appliance is designed to be wall-hung. Do not recess any part of the appliance into the wall.

This Appliance may be installed in any room in a home, however there are exceptions, and the appliance may not be
used in bedrooms or bathrooms.

Installation in living rooms is common, however other rooms such as kitchens, dining rooms and hallways are per-
mitted, providing a suitable natural gas supply is available, and rooms sizing and ventilation requirements are strict-
ly adhered to (see sections 3.1 and 4.1).

The appliance is designed to be versatile, and as such will operate correctly when exposed to normal gentle draughts
experienced within the home. It is not recommended, however that the appliance be installed in areas where it is
likely to be exposed to persistent strong draughts, that may be generated by outside doors or windows, air vents
etc. It is recommended that the appliance should not be installed within 1 metre of any air vent.
