The appliance data label is at the left side of the rear case and is visible after
removing the case front. In addition, for customer reference, there is a label giving
the appliance serial number on the outside of the case at the bottom right side.
This product uses fuel effect pieces, burner compartment walls and gaskets
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to
eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when
handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a
minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a
HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around
the fire before and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a
heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste. This is not classified
as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the
disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling
these articles, but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not
smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands
before eating or drinking.
2. GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
2.1
Walls: -
Minimum 102mm (4in.) thick
Maximum 660mm (26in.) thick.
Suitable for use with combustible walls provided that there is no combustible
material or combustible cladding in the area indicated on the wall fixing template.
Please note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyls etc.) are easily affected by
heat. They may therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind when installing.
2.2
Installation to a timber-framed building should be in accordance with the
relevant sections of The Institute of Gas Engineers publication IGE/UP/7 “Gas

Please note that advice should be sought before installing in a timber frame
building since the alterations required may nullify any NHBC cover relating to the

planning or building department.
For timber framed installations see section 5.
