INSTALLATION REQUIRE ENTS
1.1 CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a GAS SAFE 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. It is in your own interest and that of safety to
comply with the law.
The installation must also be in accordance with all relevant parts of the ocal and
National Building Regulations where appropriate, the Building Regulations
(Scotland Consolidation) issued by the Scottish Development Department, and all
applicable requirements of the following British Standard Code of Practice.
1. B.S. 5871 Part 1 Installation of Gas Fires
2. B.S. 6891 Installation of Gas Pipework
3. B.S. 5440 Parts 1 & 2 Installation of Flues and Ventilation
4. I.S 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation, issued by the National Standards
Authority of Ireland.
1.2 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 150oc.
If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall combustible material must be
removed from behind it. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper etc.
could be affected by the rising hot air and scorching and/or discoloration may
result. Due consideration should be made to this when installing or decorating.
It is recommended that the product is only installed with surround designs
available from BF Europe Ltd, but should you choose to fit an alternative
surround, please give consideration to accessibility for servicing
requirements

1.3 FLUE TER INAL POSITION
The minimum acceptable dimensions from the flue terminal to obstructions
and ventilation openings are shown below and listed in the table
It is important that the position of the flue allows the free passage of air
across it at all times. The minimum acceptable space from the flue terminal
to obstructions and ventilation openings are specified below (Fig. 3)

All combustible parts of the studwork must be set at the distances as shown below
in Fig. 4 & 5.
Refer to Fig. 1 on page three for dimensions of the flue outlet.

Width = 870mm
Height = 955mm
Depth = 439mm
NOTE : Dimensions as stated above
include clearance to combustible stud
work
2.3 PREPARATION OF THE CO BUSTION CHA BER OPENING
(INTO EXISTING CHI NEY BREAST)
An opening should be constructed to the following dimensions in the existing
chimney breast.
Fig. 5
The opening needs to be sufficient to accomodate the combustion chamber. To
support the wall above the opening, a suitable lintel must be inserted across the
top of the opening. The lintel could be either pre-cast concrete or steel - Catnic
CN52 or CN 46 could be used, depending upon the inner wall thickness. Before
proceeding with the installation of the fire, an assessment of the area immediately
above the fire is required, see Fig. 9 overpage. If there is no existing openings
within either triangle, proceed with forming the opening. However, if opening or
beams occur within either triangle, then you should seek specialist advice from a
structural engineer or consider relocating the proposed position of the firebox.
NOTE : Please ensure that suitable cut outs in the sides and front face of the
chimney breast are implemented for fixing of the flue pipe, and for future
servicing.
The appliance must be sited on a non combustible base. The appliance can be
placed onto a combustible material providing a heatproof board such as superlux
of minimum 15mm thickness or similar is placed under it.
I PORTANT : Any air supply to the fireplace opening must be sealed off
