INSTALLER GUIDE 6. PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION Check ignition spark. Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the ignition system performs satisfactorily. Set the control knob to the off position. Depress the control knob and rotate it anticlockwise to the pilot ignition position.
INSTALLER GUIDE 7.2 Brick, stone etc. building. Main case in front of wall (Figure 8). 1. This installation is for use with a fire surround or false chimney breast having a minimum depth of 140mm (5 1/2in.). The flue length may be cut to suit the wall thickness.
INSTALLER GUIDE 7.4 Lintel installation. 1.The lintel should be either steel (Catnic) or reinforced precast concrete. It should be 750mm long x 75mm deep x inner leaf thickness. 2. The opening should be, as near as possible, centrally below a joint in the inner leaf block. 3.
INSTALLER GUIDE 7.5 Timber frame building. Firebox in front of wall. This installation is for use in timber framed buildings in conjunction with a fire surround having a minimum depth of 153mm (6 inch). 1. The non-combustible hearth must project at least 300mm in front of the convection box flanges and be at least 625mm wide.
INSTALLER GUIDE that a cardboard cylinder is formed around the flue unit and inserted in the hole whilst making good. Remove the cardboard cylinder after making good. 7.9 Combustible walls (wood, fibreboard, plasterboard etc.). 1. Building regulations require that the outer surface of the flue tube and terminal must not be closer than 25mm to combustible material and must be lined with steel sleeve not less than 0.5mm thick (See figure 13).
INSTALLER GUIDE 7.10 Fixing the appliance in position. There are two methods of fixing that may be used: 1. Cable Retention 2. Use of fixing brackets If the fire is to be fitted in front of the wall, then fixing brackets may be used.
INSTALLER GUIDE 7.11 Prepare flue assembly. 1. Measure the total wall thickness from the outside surface to the inside face. Add 18mm to this measurement to obtain the correct length of flue unit required. This measurement is for surface mounted fan box assemblies.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8.1 Fan box installation preparation. Before installation can proceed it will be necessary to remove the fan unit from the fan box. 1. Remove the 2 cover retaining screws and withdraw the fan unit (See figure 17). Check inside for any loose unwanted packaging 2.

Checking now will mean that less disassembly will be required if any problems are found.
INSTALLER GUIDE 9.3 Check inlet pressure . The appliance is pre-set to give the correct heat input at the inlet pressure shown in section 2 of this manual. No adjustment is necessary. 1. Check the burner pressure by fitting a pressure gauge at the test point.
INSTALLER GUIDE 11. FITTING THE FASCIA AND FIREFRONT The fitting guide for the fascia is supplied with the fascia. Fit the fascia in accordance to the fascia fitting guide. A slotted firefront with a minimum free area as shown in figure 32 must always be used.
