Description
The Theme fire with Turboflue is a live fuel effect gas fire incorporating an integral fan assisted
flue system designed for use in locations which do not have a conventional chimney or flue.
Products of combustion are extracted from the fire via. a duct passing through the wall to the fan
unit. A pressure switch detects the flue flow and will only allow the gas to be supplied to the fire
when the flue flow is correct.
The Theme fire and Turboflue are controlled by a unique low voltage electronic switch plate
designed to be sited adjacent to the fire at a convenient level to avoid any stooping or bending.
In most types of installation a false chimneybreast will need to be constructed after installation
of the appliance. A fire surround can then be fitted if required, and must be a minimum of Class
O (100°C temperature rating). Refer to manufacturer's instructions for rebate to determine the
depth of the false chimneybreast.
The fire can be fitted to a combustible wall but a minimum gap of 50mm must be provided
between the back of the appliance and the rear wall.
Preparation
Before installation
1. Ensure that the local distribution conditions (identification of the type of gas and
pressure, and electrical supply) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
Refer to burner data badge plate.
2. The fan unit outlet must be positioned such that the combustion products can disperse
freely at all times. (See Fig. 2)
3. Due consideration must be given to environmental conditions and sound assessment
of the location of the fan unit outlet is essential to prevent nuisance shutdown due to
adverse weather or site conditions.
4. If the fan unit outlet is less than 2 metres above the ground and accessible to people,
a terminal guard must be fitted (Part no. TG1607).
5. Do not fit a Turboflue where there is a fan driven warm air central heating system
without consulting our technical department.
6. The fan unit must be located on an external wall accessible for maintenance.
7. This appliance is not suitable for installation in a room containing a bath or shower.
