SOFT FURNISHINGS
Care should be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishings or
decoration e.g. many wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too close to the appliance.
LIMITATIONS OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
Combustible material must be removed from the front the area behind the decorative trim.
Clearance to Shelf
Minimum clearance from hearth to
underside
of combustible shelf
should be 660mm for a 100mm (4”)
shelf or 720mm for a 150mm (6”)
shelf , other sizes of shelf and
clearances can be established using
the “Shelf Chart”
Note: Ensure no combustibles are
lower than 630mm above hearth.
Clearance to Sides of
Fire
Minimum width between vertical
sides of combustible surround should
not be less than 700 mm provided
fire is central to the surround and
sides do not project more than 150
mm. When vertical side forward
projection is increased by 12.5 mm add 50 mm to inside width of surround.
NOTE: - A minimum clearance of 50mm each side is required to non-combustible materials this is to allow for
servicing. The minimum clearance to a combustible sidewall is 250mm.
SECTION NINE To Install the Appliance
CHECKING THE FLUE AND FIRE OPENING

Check that the chimney conforms to the required specifications as previously stated. Examine the condition and carry
out any remedial work including any removal of debris from the base.

If the flue has been used for solid fuel it should be swept prior to the installation

Prior to installing the appliance a smoke test (using a smoke bomb) should be carried out to check that satisfactory
smoke clearance has been established.
If all the smoke is not drawn into the flue, pre-heat the flue with a blowtorch or similar and re-check. If there is any
uncertainty examine for the cause and, if necessary, seek expert advice.
No combustible material shall be fitted inside the fireplace opening.

When installing this appliance against a dry lined (plasterboard) wall ensure that any void between the plasterboard
and the wall is sealed with a suitable non-combustible material (i.e. plaster or mortar).
CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY (AND ROUTING)

Use rigid or semi
– rigid tube to connect the gas supply. Determine the gas supply-piping route to the appliance
before installing the fire. This may be from the front of the unit, either from the left or from the right hand, or it can be
a concealed fitting from the rear of the appliance, via the grommet hole in the rear of the appliance casing ensure the
grommet is pushed back into position after routing pipe work.

A means of isolation from the gas must be provided for the appliance. An isolation elbow is provided for this purpose
it may be positioned under the appliance burner (for a concealed connection) immediately adjacent to the appliance
connection or either side of the appliance for front connecting.
