All brick flues or any flue previously used with
solid fuel or gas appliances must be left with the
appropriate debris collection volume below the flue
spigot of the stove of 12 litres minimum, and depth of
250mm minimum below the spigot as shown in fig. 9..
Block, clay, cement or steel lined (connected to the top
of the appliance opening) flues either new or previ-
ously used with GAS appliances may have the smaller
debris collection volume of 2 litres minimum and
depth of 75mm minimum below the flue spigot.
Make sure that there will be at least 50mm clear-
ance between the end of the spigot and knee of the
fireback for flue gases. Also make sure that the spigot
will pass through the closure plate by a minimum of
15 mm. It can be extended by up to 150 mm (6") to
ensure this requirement is met using a purpose-made
extension or suitable piece of flue pipe. Cut a closure
plate from sheet aluminum or steel to just cover the
appliance opening to be used. It is also possible to use
other fireproof materials providing they are properly
supported and sealed and can be removed annually
for inspection and clearing of the flue. Cut a spigot
hole as shown in the fig. 9. Fix the closure plate to the
wall or appliance and seal it correctly to the wall. The
plate must be sealed correctly to the wall using adhe-
sive sealant, screws and/or tape able to withstand at
least 3 degrees C. The appliance will not work correctly
and may cut out repeatedly if the sealing of the appli-
ance and flue is not correct.
Remember, if the closure plate extends beyond
the sides or top of the stove, a non-combustible
decorative panel can be fitted to cover the area. The
closure plate can then be fitted to this. Marble in-fill
panels are a common example. Install the appliance
and connect to the gas supply and carry out a smoke
test on the flue as described in the relevant section of
this manual.

Minimum Clearances from
Combustible Material to the Vent
System
All pipe components must be installed according to
approval and the instructions of the manufacturer.
Adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer as
regards clearance from to the vent system to combus-
tible material.
When moving the chimney the clearance from
combustible material to the upper side of horizontal
pipe must be minimum 100 mm. The clearance from
the bottom of the vent pipe to combustible material
must be minimum 75 mm.
Assembly Prior To Installation
The product is delivered in 1 package. In the firebox
you will find the propane fuel conversion kit, four
decorative pipe brackets, and a log set that includes a
bag of textured embers.
1. Remove the Top Plate of the stove by simply lifting
it straight off of the stove body.
2. To open the firebox, disengage the two Glass
Frame Latches located on top of the firebox. Pull
each lever up to release the latch from the notch in
the frame.
3. Remove the parts wrapped in packaging. Use
gloves to handle the ceramic logs, as they can
cause skin irritation.
4. Familiarize yourself with the installation require-
ments specified in this manual, before beginning
the installation. If the product is going to be used
with Propane G31 rather than G20 natural gas, it
should be converted now. See the instructions sup-
plied with the conversion kit.
