1.3

FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY

The fire must only be installed on a hearth it

must not be installed directly onto

carpet or other combustible floor materials.

The fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fire place surrounds and
proprietary fire place surrounds with a temperature rating of at least 150oc.

If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fire

surround or fire place all combustible material must be removed from behind

the trim. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper etc. could be

affected by the rising hot air and scorching and/or discoloration may result.

Due consideration should be made to this when installing or decorating.

1.4

SHELF POSITION

The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum

distance of 200mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more

than 150mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150mm the distance between the

fire and the shelf must be increased by 15mm for every 25mm of additional

overhang over 150mm.

1.5

FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION

Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure

that all the following conditions are satisfied.

1.

Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fire place and is clear of any

obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must be removed or locked in

the open position.

2.

Brick/stone built chimneys or any chimney or flue which has been used for

an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The

base of the chimney / flue must also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc.

3.

Any under-floor air supply to the fire place must be completely sealed off.

4.

Ensure that the inside of the chimney / flue is in good condition along it’s

length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure

of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test.

5.

Using a smoke pellet, check that there is an up-draught in the

chimney / flue and that the smoke can be seen issuing from the

terminal / chimney pot outside.

There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of

the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is

important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney /

flue
