3.7
If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney, which was previously
used for solid fuel, the flue must be swept clean prior to installation. All flues should
be inspected for soundness and freedom from blockages.
3.8
If the fireplace opening is an under floor draught type, it must be sealed to stop
any draughts.
3.9
The appliance must be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth (N.B.
conglomerate marble hearths are considered as non-combustible) unless the
conditions of section 3.2.1.1 are met. The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made
proprietary class “O”-150°C surround. The hearth material must be at least 12mm
thick. The periphery of the hearth (or fender) should be at least 50mm above floor
level to discourage the placing of carpets or rugs over it.
The appliance must not stand on combustible materials or carpets (See figure 1)
.
3.10
The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered
by the hotbox top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces should
be made good if necessary. The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure
that a good seal with the hotbox can be made.
3.11
Note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by
heat. They may scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
Please bear this in mind when installing.
3.12
The appliance must not be installed in any room, which contains a bath, or
shower or where steam is regularly present.
3.13
An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on
in this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
3.14
Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS 5871 Part 2
and in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 “Domestic gas
Installations” which makes clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available.
3.15
Propane gas appliances must not be installed in a room, which is built entirely
below ground level (See BS 5871 Pt2).
