The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered
by the hotbox top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces should
be made good if necessary.
The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that a good seal with the
hotbox can be made.
4.11
Note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by
heat. They may scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
Please bear this in mind when installing.
4.12
This appliance must not be installed in any room that contains a bath or shower
or where steam is regularly present.
4.13
An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on
in this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
4.14
Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS 5871 Part 2
and in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 “Domestic Gas
Installations” which makes clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available.
4.15
If the appliance is to be fitted against a
wall with combustible cladding, the cladding
must be removed from the area covered by
the fascia. The cladding must also not touch
the fascia (See figure 4). We suggest that the
actual fascia is used as a template to mark the
area for combustible cladding removal and
that this area is increased by at least 2mm all
round. If the cladding projects forward from the
fixing plane of the fire the clearance at the top
of the appliance must be increased to a
minimum 15mm.This will allow for fascia
removal.
4.16
A fireguard complying with BS 8423
should be fitted for the protection of young
children, the elderly, or the infirm.
