INSTALLATION
POSITION
All models must be installed and positioned on a hearth with a minimum distance of 60mm
from the outside of the surround trim to the outside of the hearth. The hearth should also
extend a minimum of 60mm from the front of the grate.
The Solaris LS (Landscape Fire) is also designed to be installed without a hearth in a raised
position. When located in a raised position the base of the fire
MUST
be a minimum distance
of 100mm from the floor.
If the fire is to be installed with a shelf/curtain above, the shelf/curtain must be a minimum of
100mm above the surround trim and not exceed 160mm in depth. As shown in fig. 4.
Fires produce high levels of heat therefore materials for the hearth and fire surround should
be verified to ensure their suitability for use in close proximity to the fire. This should be
undertaken, verifying that the temperature rise above ambient, does not exceed the
maximum allowable temperature, to avoid damage, as detailed within the suppliers material
specification.
This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and
in a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure that air
vents are not inadvertently blocked or shut off.
FIXINGS
The aperture for the appliance is 570mm high by 540mm wide, and the appliance is fixed as
shown in fig 3. The flue pipe must be fixed to the rear outlet of the appliance and to the flue
terminal by the use of the worm drive clips provided.
Where installations do not allow a vertical rise of the flue pipe directly behind the appliance
the flue pipe
MUST
be incline towards the flue terminal rising to vertical as soon as possible.
If the appliance cabinet is unusually deep then the flue pipe must rise with a minimum
gradient of 10º.
Fire surround must fit flush against fire front and provide rigid mounting for the fire securing
brackets.
