INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SITE REQUIREMENTS

1. FLUE AND CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS

1.1 The chimney or flue system must comply with the rules in

force and must be a minimum of 127mm in diameter. (5").

1.2 The minimum effect height of the flue or chimney must be 3

metres (10ft). Any horizontal flue run from the rear outlet

should not exceed 100mm from the back of the appliance.

1.3 The chimney or flue must be free from any obstruction. Any

damper plates should be removed or secured in the fully

open position and no restrictor plates should be fitted.

1.4 The chimney should be swept prior to the installation of the

appliance. However, where it can be seen that the chimney

is clean and unobstructed throughout its entire length, it

need not be swept.
NOTE: If it is intended to fit the stove into a existing brick

built chimney without a closure plate, a 5" (127mm) liner

must be used. Larger lined flues may work, but in some

instances could cause cold start flue problems resulting in

nuisance shutdown. Lined flues above 7" (175mm) are not

recommended.
Due to recent changes to European chimney standards, new

flues and chimneys are now described by their temperature,

pressure and resistance to corrosion, condensation and fire.

To assist in identifying the correct flue system, the minimum

flue specification is shown in the technical specification of

this book. Existing chimneys are not covered by this system.
NOTE: THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT APPROVED FOR

CLOSURE PLATE INSTALLATIONS

2. VENTILATION

2.1 Consult the rules in force.

Note: This appliance does not normally require any

additional ventilation when installed in G.B.

3. INSTALLATION OF THE GAS SUPPLY

3.1 Before installation, ensure that the local distribution

conditions (identification of the type of gas and pressure)

and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.

3.2 Ensure that the gas supply is capable of delivering the

required amount of gas and is in accordance with the rules

in force.

3.3 Soft copper tubing and soft soldered joints can be used but

must not be closer than 50mm to the base of the tray.

3.4 A means of isolating the gas supply to the appliance must be

provided independent of any appliance control.

3.5 All supply gas pipes must be purged of any debris that may

have entered prior to connection to the appliance.

4. APPLIANCE LOCATION

4.1 This appliance must stand on a non-combustible hearth that

is at least 12mm thick, and project a minimum of 50mm

from the base of the stove in all directions. The minimum

dimensions are shown in diagram 1.

4.2 This appliance must not be installed in a room that contains

a bath or shower.

4.3 This stove is not suitable for installation against a

combustible wall; all combustible materials must be

removed from the area behind the stove.

4.4 Ensure that all minimum clearances to combusible materials

are complied with. See diagram 2.

NOTE: IN A NON-COMBUSTIBLE RECESS

ATTENTION MUST BE GIVEN TO ALLOWING

ADEQUATE CLEARANCE AT THE SIDES AND REAR

OF THE STOVE, SO THAT A SPILLAGE TEST CAN

BE PERFORMED AND THE CONTROLS REACHED.
