6. INSTALLATION OF APPLIANCE
INSTALLATION
6.1 Fireplace size.
The fireplace must comply with the requirements described in section 4.
6.2 Fireplace flue pull
.
Visually inspect the flue for any obstruction, and that a smooth transition from the
fireplace opening into the flue is available. Close all doors and windows in the room in
which the appliance is to be installed. After confirming with a match that smoke is
drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke pellet and check that there is a definite flow
through the flue. Verify outside that the smoke exits from one terminal only and that the
termination is suitable. Observe, where possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs
of escaping smoke indicating a defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the
flue for a few minutes and repeat the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow
the flue may need remedial work –
Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite
flow through the flue.
IMPORTANT
Before continuing with the installation of this gas fire the aeration setting on
the burner must be checked. This is factory set. See section 12.1 (Servicing
and parts replacement).
