INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SITE REQUIREMENTS

1. Flue and Chimney Requirements

WHEN INSTALLING A FLUE SYSTEM PLEASE REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

The European chimney standards now describe chimneys and flues by their temperature, pressure and resistance to corrosion, condensation and fire. To identify the correct flue system, the minimum flue specification is shown in the Technical Specification. Existing chimneys are not covered by this system.

The flue must be installed in accordance with all local and national regulations and the current rules in force:

•A flexible liner must be continuous from the appliance spigot to the roof terminal

•The minimum effective height of the flue must be 3 metres (10ft)

•The flue must be free from any obstruction

•Any damper plates must be removed or secured in the fully open position and no restrictor plates fitted

•The chimney should be swept immediately before installing the appliance, but it need not be swept if you can see the chimney is clean and free from obstruction throughout

2. FLUE OPTIONS

There are three suitable Conventional Flues:

•Stud work is Top Exit only - Twin Wall Rigid

127mm (5”)

•Top Exit - Builder’s Opening Lined

127mm (5”)

•Rear Exit - Builder’s Opening Unlined

178m (7”) minimum

3. GAS SUPPLY

• Slit with a sharp knife prior to passing the supply pipe through

3.7The gas supply must be installed in a way that does not restrict the removal of the appliance for servicing and inspection.

4. VENTILATION

IMPORTANT: Ensure any national ventilation requirements are taken into account during installation of the fire.

UK ONLY:

The Studio 1 has a nominal input not exceeding 7.0kW and does not normally require any additional permanent ventilation.

The Studio 2 must have permanent ventilation with a minimum open area of 5.85cm2.

FOR THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND REFER TO THE RULES IN FORCE FOR VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

5. APPLIANCE LOCATION

NOTE: It is recommended you construct the back panel of the fireplace from natural materials cut into three or more sections to prevent cracking. Resin-based materials may not be suitable. This appliance is an effective heat producer and attention must be paid to the construction and finish of the fireplace.

When preparing the aperture for installation into a builder’s opening, the front of the wall must be cut out down to the level on which the appliance is to stand. Then, to obtain the correct dimensions shown in Diagram 1a, the lower section of wall must be reconstructed as shown in Diagram 1a

5.1This appliance must stand on a non-combustible base that is at least 12mm thick; the minimum opening dimensions are shown in Diagram 1a.

This appliance is intended for use on a gas installation with a governed meter.

3.1	Make sure local distribution conditions (identification of the
	type of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the
	appliance are compatible before installation.
3.2	Ensure the gas supply delivers the required amount of gas
	and is in accordance with the rules in force.
3.3	You can use soft copper tubing on the installation and soft
	soldered joints outside the appliance and below the fire.
3.4	A factory fitted isolation device is part of the inlet
	connection; no further isolation device is required.
3.5	All supply gas pipes must be purged of any debris that may
	have entered prior to connection to the appliance.
