No purpose made
ventilation
is normally required for this appliance when installed in G.B. If the appliance is
being installed in I.E then refer to I.S 813:1996 (Domestic Gas Installation—National Standards Authority of
Ireland). Ventilation areas (if applicable) should be checked periodically to ensure there is no obstruction,
even though none is normally required for this appliance.
When installing into conventional chimneys or 7” dia.(175mm) flues with an effective height of over 5metres
the restrictor baffle supplied may be fitted to increase the efficiency of the appliance. It is mandatory that
the safe clearance of products be checked by performing a smoke match test as described on the product
data label.
SPILLAGE TEST:
To check for satisfactory clearance of products of combustion, close all doors and windows
and leave the appliance burning on HIGH for five minutes. Insert a lit smoke match just into the top of the
fire opening and move it left and right, all the smoke must be drawn into the flue. If spillage occurs allow a
further 5 minutes and repeat the test. If spillage still occurs turn off the appliance and seek expert advise . If
an extractor fan is situated in the room the spillage test should be repeated with the fan running. If there is a
connecting room with an extractor fan the test should be repeated with all the doors to that room open and
the extractor fan running. If the appliance spills with the restrictor fitted then the restrictor should be
removed and the spillage test repeated. If the spillage test continues to fail expert advise should be sought
and additional ventilation may have to be provided.
This appliance must only be installed on to a suitable hearth with a minimum thickness of 12mm. The
appliance must not be installed directly onto carpet of other combustible floor materials. The fireplace
surround (back-panel) must have a temperature rating of at least 150
o
C.
Do not place soft wall coverings (i.e. embossed papers etc,) furniture or other combustible items too close to
the fires as they may discolour or scorch.
Do not place or throw rubbish or otherwise on the fuel-bed.
Do not place any combustible materials or flooring (i.e. carpets etc,) on any part of the hearth.
WARNING:
This appliance has a naked flame and as with all heating appliances a fireguard should be used
for the protection of children, the elderly and infirm. The fireguard should conform to BS8423 : 2002
(Fireguards or use with Gas Heating Appliances).
Important Note: It is quite normal for a flame effect gas appliance to experience a small amount of soot or
staining to some parts of the fuel effect components. If this becomes excessive it may because the fuel bed
is not fitted correctly—this should be checked according to these installation instructions prior to
contacting a service engineer.
It is very important that you arrange for a GAS SAFE registered engineer to service your appliance every year
– during this service the engineer will remove the appliance and check for debris, check the operation of the
flue and check the operation of the appliance. This is important for you and your families safety.
NEVER place any rubbish or otherwise onto the fire—this will affect the way the product operates and may
affect the warranty of the product.
NEVER place more ceramic components onto the fuel bed than specified in the instructions.
NEVER touch the ceramics when the appliance has recently been switched off—these components retain
heat and may cause burns. Leave the appliance to sufficiently cool prior to any contact of the ceramics.
