Do have the fire installed by a competent person. In the United Kingdom, installation
must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Gas Safety (installation & use)
Regulations. In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in accordance with all
national and local regulations in force.
Do have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid fuel.
Do have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions.
Do wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the
flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out).
Do get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall
coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected
by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
Do provide a minimum side clearance of 300mm from the side of the appliance, not
the trim. Please bear this in mind if ever you are considering altering the room.
Do provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly, the infirm and pet animals.
Do provide the minimum height from the base of the fireplace opening to the
underside of any shelf made from wood or other combustible materials. The
appliance can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class "O"-150°C surround. The
hearth material must be at least 12mm thick. The periphery of the hearth (or fender)
should be at least 50mm above floor level to discourage the placing of carpets or rugs
over it. The surface of the hearth must be sufficiently flat to enable the bottom of the
front surround and the bottom front cover to be aligned horizontally. Any excessive
unevenness (uneven tiles, Cotswold stone, etc.) should be rectified. The appliance
must not stand on combustible materials or carpets. Where no hearth is fitted.
