INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
A conventional brick or stone chimney as used for a solid fuel appliance with a minimum effective flue height of 3
metres and a minimum cross sectional dimension of 225 x 225mm (9 x 9ins). Or, a lined flue with a minimum
diameter of 175mm (7ins) with a builders opening having a minimum height of 550mm, width of 400mm and a
minimum depth of 350mm to allow sufficient volume for debris collection.
If a fireback (chair brick) is fitted in the existing builders opening it will be necessary to remove it together with any
infill or rubble. Any remedial work should be carried out including levelling the base beneath the fire. The minimum
sizes required for the opening are shown in Fig 1.
Any permanent flue restriction or variable dampers are to be removed or locked fully open. The chimney flue must be
swept prior to installation.
An inspection should be made to ensure that the internal walls of the flue are sound and clear of mortar fangs,
excessive protrusions must be removed.

DISMANTLING THE APPLIANCE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION INTO THE OPENING.
To prevent any damage and to assist with the installation of the appliance both the burner and the trim should be
removed. The trim is removed by lifting the trim vertically observing that the lugs locate over the flanges of the box.
To remove the burner from the box unscrew the two screws at the base of the fascia panel and pull the burner forward
observing that the rear feet locate under two lugs in the base panel.
GAS SUPPLY
BEFORE COMMENCING WORK, TURN OFF ANY APPLIANCES THAT ARE FED BY THE METER
AND ISOLATE THE SUPPLY BY TURNING OFF AT THE METER.
The gas connection to this appliance is made with 8mm O/D rigid or semi rigid tube to a pressure test elbow situated
on the left-hand side of the burner as shown in Fig 6. It is advisable to provide a means of isolating the gas supply to
the appliance for servicing with either a restrictor elbow or isolation cock as shown in Figs 2 & 3, (the supply tube
support bracket may be removed as shown in Fig 4). Provision is made in the rear of the box to make a concealed
connection, i.e. knock out blanks. The installer is reminded of the requirements of BS 6891 1988 dealing with
enclosed pipes. The standard requires that when a gas pipe is fed through a wall, the pipe should be enclosed in a tight
sleeve to protect against failure caused by movement and shall be constructed to prevent a passage of gas either
between the pipe and sleeve or sleeve and the wall.
