IInntteerrnnaall

This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam may be

present. The firebox must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insulating surface at least 12mm thick,

covering the entire base are of the box. This appliance is suitable for use with a “lightweight” surround and back

panel of 150ºc minimum rating. A suitable gas supply and an electrical 3 Amp fixed fused spur are both required

near the intended appliance site.

EExxtteerrnnaall

Please refer to the diagram on the following page for more details of the most suitable site for the fan terminal.

The terminal must be located so that the outlet is not obstructed in any way allowing poor disposal of

combustion products. A safety cage should be fitted in place over the terminal to ensure compliance with

Byelaws. Terminals located in passageways between two properties, public footpaths or which might discharge

over the same may be subject to local Byelaws on items such as minimum distances for projection. In these

circumstances it is the installers responsibility to check that the location of the terminal does not infringe any

Byelaws. If in any doubt about flue terminal location, especially with regards to garages and car ports then further

advice should be sought from CORGI or the manufacurer.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS ((continued)

Avoid locating the terminal in close proximity to combustible materials, such as plastic drainpipes and fences. If

these are impossible to avoid, then a suitable metal deflector must be used if the flue gasses begin to heat the

object. For minimum standard dimensions of clearance see below.

Covered areas such as under car ports should be avoided but if no alternative is available the following notes

should be adhered to; The covered area should have at least two open sides (i.e. a roof and ONE supporting wall).

If more than one side is filled, then advice must be sought on the location’s suitability. Any openings into

dwellings such as doors, windows and air vents under the covered area must be at least 1200mm away from the

terminal position. If the roof is constructed from plastic material, great care must be taken with the installation as

there is no simple method of protecting this type of roof from heat build up.

SITE RREQUIREMENTS

For aesthetic purposes it is essential that the hearth and infill plinth area are flat and level. The hearth and infill

must also be square to the back panel. Failure to comply with this could cause the appliance to lean away from

the fireplace resulting in an unsatisfactory installation.

The electrical earth to the property and all wiring must be carried out in accordance with IEE Wiring Regulations

(including any Local Regulations). If you are unsure about this aspect, then professional advice should be sought.

This appliance is suitable for use with a 230V~50Hz (ac) single phase (normal domestic) electrical supply.

Connection to the mains supply should be made with the three core cable (green/yellow -earth, blue - neutral,

brown - live) to a fixed fused spur with double pole insulation (minimum 3mm separation of poles) and fused at

3 amp. Take care not to pull or damage the internal wiring to the the fan unit at any time during installation.

Should the mains cable become damaged at any stage, it should only be replaced with the manufacturers sup-

plied cable (part no. EL006225/0). Failure to use a genuine spare could cause a hazard.

WWAARRNNIINNGG!!TTHHIISSAAPPPPLLIIAANNCCEEMMUUSSTTBBEEEEAARRTTHHEEDD..

If a concealed gas supply is to be used, the supply pipe must be sleeved through walls and floors. If the fire is to

be inset into the cavity leaf, only factory sleeved pipe should be used. For further details see relevant section. A

separate isolation device must be incorporated into the incoming gas supply to facilitate servicing. No more than

1.5 metres of 8mm pipe should be used in the connection of the gas supply to the appliance, as more could result

in an unacceptable drop in pressure.

This appliance must only be installed onto a non-combustible wall or surface. The fire requires a hearth with a

non-combustible surface at least 12mm thick. The top surface of the hearth must be at least 50mm above floor

level, or be surrounded by a raised edge or fixed fender of at least 50mm high. The non-combustible hearth must

extend a minimum of 300mm in front of, and 150mm either side of the live part of the appliance. The hearth must

therefore be a minimum of 680mm wide.

The appliance must be installed by one of the following methods;

1 - Fitment against an existing inner house wall with a suitably constructed fireplace and/or false

chimney breast to enclose the depth of the fire.

2 - Insertion into a purpose made opening in the inner leaf of a cavity wall or disused fireplace opening

with the use of a suitable fireplace surround etc.

3 - Installation into a timber framed dwelling using the clearances to combustible materials shown in the

relevant section. Building Control requirements vary in some areas, enquiries should be made

accordingly.

An unprotected combustible shelf may be fitted above the appliance, provided it complies with the minimum

dimensions stated below. Protective materials can be used to deflect heat from shelves that are too low.

A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireframe. Combustible materials,

such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the frame of the firebox providing it projects

no further forward than 100mm (4in). As with all heating appliances, decorations, soft furnishings and wall

coverings (such as blown vinyl, flock and embossed paper) may discolour or scorch if positioned too close to the

fire. If the appliance is fitted to a dry-lined wall, the gap between the plasterboard and blocks must be sealed with

non-combustible material and any unplastered board replaced with superlux or other non-combustible material

if in direct contact with the appliance.

VENTILATION

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required with this appliance. However, the ventilation requirements

of other gas appliances in the same room or space should be taken into consideration. A spillage test should be

carried out as described in the relevant section with the doors and windows both open and closed, and with any

extractor fan running on full. Where fitted, ventilation must comply with the requirements of BS 5440 part 2.

Vents directly underneath or within the immediate vicinity of appliances

musstnnot

be used as they may

adversely affect ODS pilot operation.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

Remove the fire tray from the convector box by removing the two securing screws in the front legs of the tray,

and invert the tray onto the hearth. Carefully unplug the safety solenoid on the tray from the control box by

squeezing the clip on the three way connector and easing apart. Place the tray safely to one side along with the

fuel bed components, firefront and decorative frame.

Apply the self adhesive sealing strip to the rear perimeter of the firebox frame, this will eventually seal the firebox

to the fireplace back panel. Place the fire to one side whilst the site is prepared for flue installation. Mark the ver-

tical centreline of the desired location of the appliance after first checking for clearances to pipes and cables in

the wall, and also the terminal position outside.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION ((continued)

OUTER WALL APERTURE

From the outside of the property, open up the pilot hole in the

external leaf of the cavity to the required size.

If the fan terminal is to mounted directly onto the outside wall,

the hole should be opened up to a 125mm diameter aperture

centred around the pilot hole.

If the fan terminal is to be recessed into the outer leaf, the hole

should be opened up to the dimensions given in the diagram.

Clear all the brick rubble and debris that may have fallen into the

cavity. If the cavity wall insulation is obstructing your view of the

inner leaf then clear this back.

GAS SUPPLY ROUTES

The gas supply may enter the appliance across the hearth or through the ‘knock outs’ provided in the rear of the

firebox. Gas pipes should not be buried or routed through walls without being protected by conduit or sleeving.

An isolation tap must be included in the gas connection pipe to facilitate servicing.

Note: AAny ffittinggssuussed uunder tthe aapplianccemmusst

For INSTALLATION METHOD 1, the gas supply

can be run in the conventional manner taking due

account of rules and regulations.

For INSTALLATION METHOD 2, use only factory

sleeved pipe in a continuous unjoined length in the

cavity of the wall and area which communicate

with the cavity. Ensure a good seal where the pipe

enters through the appliance grommet. This is a

permitted gas supply routing.

Centering on the pilot hole already drilled, create a hole from inside the property 125mm diameter. If loose fill

cavity wall insulation is fitted to the property it will be necessary to seal the wall cavity where the flue opening is

formed to prevent insulation material coming into contact with hot surfaces of the fire and it’s components. The

recommended method is to pack a depth of 50-100mm of Rockwool or a similar non-combustible insulation

material into the cavity .

Where the property does not have existing cavity wall insulation, it is still recommended that a space 50-100mm

into the cavity is packed with Rockwool or similar material, to prevent any future installation of cavity wall

insulation from coming into contact with hot areas of the appliance.

At this point the false chimney breast or firesurround should be installed.

INSTALLATION METHOD 2

Set out where possible centrally beneath a

block join as shown. Use a drill for guide holes,

and a ‘shark saw’ or angle grinder to form an

opening to suit the lintel.

The lintel should be inserted and securely slate

pinned, leaving the wall above safe and firm.

Note: AAlwayssbbed oonmmortar, DDO NOT ddry

bed.

Remove all masonry from below the lintel, and

clear debris from the cavity.

The top of the exposed cavity must be sealed with Superlux board or a similar non-combustible material. The

board should be fixed at an angle, lower at the back, so as to direct any moisture coming down to the outside

wall. This board should be fixed with screws, Unibond, or a similar adhesive. It is important to fit this board or a

cavity tray to protect the property and the appliance from drips of water. The sides of the opening where the

cavity is exposed should be packed with Rockwool or similar non-combustible material to a minimum depth of

50mm. The Rockwool packing must extend from the base of the opening to the Superlux board.

The non-combustible hearth should now be formed or secured in place.
