  • Page 4: Conditions Of Installation

    INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a Registered Installer, in accordance with these installation instructions and the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 as amended. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.

  • Page 5: Fireplace / Surround Suitability

    FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY The fire must only be installed on a hearth it must not be installed directly onto carpet or other combustible floor materials. The fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fire place surrounds and proprietary fire place surrounds with a temperature rating of at least 150 o c.

  • Page 6: Fire Place Opening / Catchment Space

    Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the brickwork or masonry. If the chimney or flue is in poor condition or if there is no up-draught do not proceed with the installation. If there is a history of down-draught conditions with the chimney / flue, a tested and certificated flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should be considered.

  • Page 7: Fitting To Metal Flue Boxes

    Table A - Installation Depth Requirements for a Flavel Expression HE being installed into a brick built chimney, requiring 12.0 litres of debris collection volume (figure 2) When installing this product into a brick built chimney, there must be a minimum depth available of 200mm available for the collection of debris behind the firebox when installed.

  • Page 8: Fitting To Pre-Cast Flues

    FITTING TO PRE-CAST FLUES When installing this appliance into pre-cast flues, always ensure that the spigot restrictor baffle has been removed. To install the fire box in to pre-cast flue starter blocks, there must be at least 180mm from the mounting face of the fire to the rear of the pre-cast flue starter block to allow sufficient space for debris collection.

  • Page 9: Wall / Hearth Mounting

    1.10 WALL / HEARTH MOUNTING This appliance must be fitted on a flat, non-combustible base of minimum thickness 12mm. In addition, a non-combustible hearth or physical barrier should be provided in front of the fire. With “hole in the wall” type installations, where it may be desirable not to fit a hearth panel or physical barrier, the product may be installed in accordance with Document J of the building regulations so that every part of the flame or incandescent material is at least 225mm above the floor level.

  • Page 12 Lift the glass panel forwards and clear from the firebox, taking care not to damage the glass panel. See figure 8 below. Fig. 8 Remove the burner heat shield, which is retained by 2 off screws as shown below in figure 9. Fig.
  • Page 13 For all Remote Control models proceed as follows :- Remove the two off screws from the left and right hand burner mounting brackets, plus the two screws from the base of the control panel as shown below in figure 10, this will allow removal of the complete burner unit from the firebox.
  • Page 14 Continue as follows :- Whilst the fire box is still in position, decide which side the gas supply is to enter the fire from. If concealed pipe work is required plan the pipe run to enter the fire box through one of the openings in the sides or rear of the fire box below the fuelbed support panel and connect to the isolating / inlet elbow.
  • Page 15 IMPORTANT : Sealing of the Gas Unused Gas Pipe Inlet Apertures In line with current regulations, it is imperative that the gas supply inlet aper- tures that are not utilised during the installation are sealed with the foil tape as supplied. Failure to seal these inlet apertures could lead to flame reversal, which in turn will damage the burner and control systems of the product.
  • Page 16 The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail. To fit using the preferred cable method proceed as follows- Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (6mm) holes in the back face of the fire opening in the positions shown below in figure 14.
  • Page 17 Fig. 15 Evenly tighten the tensioning nuts to tension both cables and pull the fire snugly against the wall. Do not overtighten, it is only necessary to pull the seal up against the sealing face of the wall, it does not need to be compressed.

  • Page 18: Gas Tightness And Inlet Pressure

    The other firebox fixing method is as follows :- In installations where the cable method is not suitable (e.g. loose masonary in rear of fire opening) the firebox can be secured to the fire surround using four screws and wall plugs provided. Below (figure 16) is a diagram to indicate the hole centre positions available on the firebox to facilitate the screw fixing to the fireplace / surround.
