provided and assemble the air/flue ducts as shown in the flue
instructions.

c)

Construct the correct flue length by building the flue out from

the appliance. 

Ensure that the flue and air seals are

correctly fitted before assembly and that each section
is fully engaged.

The flue length is measured from the centreline of
the appliance flue outlet to the inside of the external
wall-sealing ring. In most cases it will be possible to
achieve the required flue length without cutting the
ducts, however where necessary the plain ends of
the extension ducts may be cut. Never cut the
swaged end, and always ensure that the cut is
square and free of burrs or debris.

NOTE IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE TERMINAL
IS FITTED THE CORRECT WAY UP

See flue kit

Instructions (i.e. rain shield at the top).

Wall thickness up to 800 mm (31 in) only.

a)

Push the terminal through the wall liner taking care to ensure that

the terminal is the correct way round and the external wall-sealing
ring does not become dislodged.

b)

Assemble the flue system extension ducts as necessary, referring

to Figure 14.

c)

Pull the flue system towards the appliance to seat the external

sealing ring against the outside wall, ensuring that the duct joints are
not disturbed.

d)

Use the internal sealing ring to make good the internal hole, and

check that the terminal is correctly located on the outside wall (Where
possible this should be visually checked from outside the building.)
Figure 14 shows a view of the flue system, correctly installed.

e)

Finally locate and secure the elbow to the appliance using the

four screws provided.

INSTALLING THE AIR/FLUE DUCT

(Flue hole diameter 100 mm - wall liner not necessary)

a)

Secure the flue elbow with seal to the appliance using 4

screws.

b)

Fit external wall sealing ring over flue and then from outside

the building, push the flue system through the wall taking care to
ensure that the terminal is the correct way around.

c)

Loosely fit the internal wall sealing ring over the inside end of

the flue.

d)

Assemble the flue system extension ducts as necessary,

referring to the flue kit instructions, and fit to the flue elbow.

e)

Fit the flue terminal to the flue system, ensuring that the duct

joints are not disturbed, and that the external sealing ring is
seated against the outside wall.

f)

Finally use the internal sealing ring to make good the internal

hole. Check that the external wall sealing ring and the terminal is
correctly located, on the outside wall from outside the building.

USERS INSTRUCTIONS

Upon completion of commissioning and testing the system, the
installer must instruct the user in how to operate the appliance by
drawing the user's attention to the following.

a)

Give the 'Users Instructions' to the householder and

emphasise their responsibilities under the 'Gas Safety (Installation
and Use) Regulations or rules in force.

b)

Explain and demonstrate the lighting and shutdown procedures.

c)

Advise the householder on the efficient use of the system,

including the use and adjustment of all system controls for CH.

d)

Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent

damage to the system, and to the building, in the event of the
system remaining inoperative during frost conditions.

e)

Explain the function of the CH Temperature Control knob, and how

to reset the appliance. Emphasise that if cutouts persists, the appliance
should be turned off and the installer or service engineer consulted.

f)

Stress the importance of an annual service by a registered

heating engineer.

g)

The electrical mains supply to the appliance must remain ON

for the frost protection circuit to operate.
