4.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS - CONTINUED
Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the wall and floor.
A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions given below.
A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireplace opening.
Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the fireplace opening , providing the
forward projection does not exceed 100mm (4in).
Any combustible side walls must be at least 500mm to the side of the radiant heat source.
As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper)
positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch.
No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances operating in the
same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation.
If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance then amongst other problems there may be insufficient natural ventila-
tion for the correct operation of the flue. This is potentially a greater problem should the property be of modern nature. If the
appliance does not spill with windows open but does with windows closed, this proves that lack of ventilation is the problem, if
not, it will be the flue at fault. Installation of an air brick in these circumstances may be the best solution. Any ventilation fitted
must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation located underneath or within the immediate vicinity (one metre)
of the fire MUST NOT be used as it may adversely affect the performance of the O.D.S. system.
Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance, which cannot be corrected by any
amount of ventilation. For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.
Read all the instructions before continuing to unpack or install this appliance.
Remove the box containing the firefront, and the bag containing the coals. Remove the cardboard packing pieces, and any bags
containing other fittings or parts. Remove the burner unit from the remaining packaging.
Check that the components supplied correlate with the checklist given in section 6.1. Please dispose of the packaging materials
at your local recycling centre.
Note: Ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing installation of the appliance.
Smoke test the flue to ensure proper draw and that there are no leaks present.
Locate the gas supply point. This appliance is suitable for all gas connections, including those concealed behind the opening.
Important Note: Check that the thermocouple connection nut into the rear of the valve is secure.
Place the appliance into the shaped firebrick, ensuring it does not protrude forward of the fireplace opening. Mark the location
of the front support of the tray. Remove the tray and drill the two marked holes with an appropriate masonry bit. Place wall plugs
into the holes. Remove the front support from the appliance by unscrewing from the two front legs. Position the front foot in the
over the holes and secure the front support using suitable screws into the prepared holes. Re-fit the tray into the shaped fire-
brick, and secure the front legs of the tray to the support.
Using 8mm diameter pipe, connect the appliance to the gas supply point. The appliance must be fitted with rigid or semi-rigid pipe
of 8mm external diameter. The appliance is factory fitted with an inlet restrictor elbow.
Use a minimum length of 8mm pipe, less than 1.5m where possible, as a long run of pipe may cause an unacceptable drop in the
supply pressure.
