INSTALLER INFORMATION

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.

Ventilation

This product is rated in excess of 7kW, and it is a legal requirement

to have 100cm² of ventilation if the input is in excess of 7kW. Thus

100cm² of ventilation is required.

If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance then

amongst other problems there may be insufficient natural ventilation

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 is the best solution. Any ventilation

fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 3 and BS 5440 part 2.

Ventilation located underneath or within the immediate vicinity of the

fire MUST NOT be used as it may adversely affect the performance

of the spillage detection 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.

INSTALLER INFORMATION

Installing the Appliance

Notes: Ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing

installation of the appliance.

Check that the thermocouple connection nut into the rear of

the valve is secure.

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.

An isolation valve (conforming to national regulations) must be fitted

adjacent to the appliance which, when closed, allows the burner

assembly and controls to be disconnected for maintenance or repair.

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.

Keep the amount of 8mm pipe used in the supply to a minimum - less

than 1.2m where possible. A long run of pipe may cause an

unacceptable drop in the supply pressure.

Secure the Burner to the floor using the provided brackets; these

should be screwed to the floor using rawplugs and screws.

Position the grate on top of the burner, so that the slot locates over

the burner tube. Ensure that the Pilot Cut-out correctly aligns with the

pilot of the burner and that the burner can Cross Light without any

impingement.
