GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
3.1
Gas appliances must be installed in accordance with the rules in force. In the UK it is the law
that all gas appliances must be installed by a Gas Safe™ registered installer (formerly CORGI), in
accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) regulations (as amended). The installation
must also be in accordance with the relevant parts of local and national building regulations
and in accordance with BS5871 pt4 except where Burley instructions state differently. For the
Republic of Ireland, reference should be made to IS813 and ICP3 and any guidance notes from
Bord Gais. Failure to have the fire fitted by a qualified person nullifies
ALL
guarantees.
3.2
The space to be heated must have a wall vent of at least 100cm² of ventilation and an openable
window or patio door. The vent must be positioned at least 1 metre away from the appliance. A
vent may have been supplied with the appliance and this is the preferred type although it is
possible to use alternatives.
3.3
In the Republic of Ireland two vents of not less than 60cm² each, one not less than 1.6m above
the other, must be installed in the room.
3.4
When providing ventilator openings consideration must be given to the avoidance of locations
where discomfort from draughts may cause the user to block the openings. Similarly the
possibility of curtains or furniture blocking ventilation openings must be considered. Floor
vents, closable window vents or chimneys are not suitable means of ventilation.
3.5
Working surfaces include the air outlet grille.
3.6
The appliance must not be used in a room area of less than 40m3 in volume. To convert cubic
feet (ft³) to cubic metre (m³) divide the room volume in cubic feet by 35.3. Adjoining spaces,
not separated by a door may be combined.
3.7
The appliance must not be used on or against a combustible surface.
3.8
No furniture, soft furnishings, decorations, wall coverings or curtains must be within 1 metre of
the appliance and its convection outlets.

3.11
When the appliance is not to be used for a time, ensure the gas control or adjacent isolators are

central heating or storage heaters.
3.13
The fire must not be run with its door open or with cracked, incorrectly fitted or missing glass.
3.14
The glass door acts as a guard on the appliance to prevent risk of fire or injury from burns and
no part of it may be permanently removed. It does not give full protection for young children,
the elderly or infirm. Parts of the appliance get hot, an additional guard to BS6539 or BS6778
must be used in the presence of children, the elderly and infirm.
