INSTALLATION
POSITION
All models must be installed and positioned on a hearth with a minimum distance of 60mm
from the outside of the surround trim to the outside of the hearth. The hearth should also
extend a minimum of 60mm from the front of the grate – see Fig. 2.
If the fire is to be installed with a shelf/curtain above, the shelf/curtain must be a minimum of
100mm above the surround trim and not exceed 160mm in depth – see Fig. 2.
Fires produce high levels of heat during use. It is important the installer verifies the furniture
construction material is suitable for the application - i.e. Plastic materials used in the
construction may have a softening point lower than the maximum allowable temperature rise
specified in the relevant European Standards (EN13278)
This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and
in a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure that air
vents are not inadvertently blocked or shut off.
FIXINGS
The aperture for the appliance is 560mm high by 421mm wide, and the appliance is fixed as
shown in Fig. 5. The flue pipe must be fixed to the rear outlet of the appliance and to the flue
terminal by the use of the worm drive clips provided.
Where installations do not allow a vertical rise of the flue pipe directly behind the appliance
the flue pipe MUST be incline towards the flue terminal rising to vertical as soon as possible.
If the appliance cabinet is unusually deep then the flue pipe must rise with a minimum
gradient of 10º.
Fire surround must fit flush against fire front and provide rigid mounting for the fire securing
brackets.

GAS CONNECTION

The connection is made to an Ø8mm inlet pipe through the rear case of the fire. The fire
MUST be connected using metal pipe manufactured from either copper, seam welded steel,
seamless steel or stainless steel, which complies with the requirements detailed within
EN1949. Rubber tubing must NOT be used.
