3.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
The installation should only be performed by an authorized gas fitter.
3.1 General information
The gas fireplace must be installed, connected and inspected by a qualified fitter, according to national,
regional, and local standards and regulations. Failure to install the appliance correctly could lead to
prosecution.
Read these instructions fully before beginning any installation work.
The flue system and the terminals must meet the requirements outlined in the applicable standards and
regulations.
The chimney/fireplace that the appliance is installed with, whether existing or purpose built, must be made
from non-combustible materials.
The temperature of the walls and shelves near the side and back of the unit may not be more than 80°C
higher than the temperature of the environment.
The product needs to be serviced and inspected by the fitter for local gas distribution as indicated on the
identification plate.
The instructions are only applicable if the relevant country code is stated on the unit. If this is not the case,
the gas technical information for the relevant country needs to be consulted and modifications discussed
with the manufacturer.
There will be air in the gas pipes when the unit is first used. The gas pipes therefore need to be purged
first.
Ignite the fire according to operating instructions and check whether the burner flame is uniform. After the
unit has been used for the first time, you should remove any deposits resulting from running/burning in
the paint, using an appropriate glass cleaner.
This appliance features an Oxypilot atmospheric sensing device. The Oxypilot will shut down the appliance
if an unacceptable amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no circumstances should
the Oxypilot be altered or bypassed in anyway. If after a period of use the appliance shuts down for no
apparent reason, the consumer should be informed to stop using the appliance immediately until it has
been fully checked.
Normal adventitious ventilation should provide a suitable amount required for this appliance. If there are
any forced ventilation systems adjacent to the installation (i.e. cooker extraction hoods) then additional
ventilation may be required in accordance with national, regional and local standards and regulations.
A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young children, the elderly or the
infirm.
The unit must be cleaned and inspected annually by a competent person.
Distance to flammable materials:
Furniture, curtains etc. = 1200mm
Flooring (without using a hearth) = 300mm
Flooring (using a hearth with a minimum depth of 300mm) = 140mm
3.2 Chimney preparation
If the existing chimney was previously used for burning solid fuel, the flue must be swept clean prior to
installation. A chimney draw of approximately 5 pascals is sufficient to run the appliance. If the chimney draft
is greater than 20 pascals it is recommended that steps are taken to reduce the draft.
IMPORTANT: Gas fires become hot when they are in operation. After installing of the appliance the
glass surface is considered an active zone. The glass surface can become very hot. CARE SHOULD
BE TAKEN at all times with supervision of children and the infirm. Gas fires must not be on or placed
against flammable materials (curtains etc.). Never install the unit against or within a flammable
wall.
NOTE:
Construction material for fireplaces and mantles etc. or built-in situation, must be made of non-
combustible material. This also applies to floors and ceilings. Never use flammable materials near the unit in
compliance with the above requirements. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
