1.3The chimney or flue must be free from any obstruction. Any damper plates should be removed or secured in the fully open position, and no restrictor plates should be fitted.

1.4The chimney should be swept prior to the installation of the appliance - unless it can be seen to be clean and unobstructed throughout its entire length.

1.5Ensure that there is a smooth tapered transition from the fireplace opening into the chimney or flue.

1.6The flue pull should be checked prior to installation of the appliance. Apply a smoke pellet to the flue or chimney opening and ensure that the smoke is drawn into the opening. If there is not a definite flow, pre-heat the chimney for a few minutes and re-test the flow.

IF THERE IS STILL NO DEFINITE FLOW, THE CHIMNEY MAY REQUIRE ATTENTION - SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.

2.INSTALLATION OF THE GAS SUPPLY

2.1Before installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (identification of the type of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.

2.2Ensure that the gas supply is capable of delivering the required amount of gas, and is in accordance with the rules in force.

2.3Soft copper tubing and soft soldered joints can be used, but must not be closer than 50mm (2") to the base of the tray.

2.4A means of isolating the gas supply to the appliance must be provided independent of any appliance control.

2.5All supply gas pipes must be purged of any debris that may have entered prior to connection to the appliance.

3. VENTILATION

It is important to ensure that any national ventilation requirements are taken into account during the installation of this appliance.

3.1This appliance requires an air vent of at least 100cm2 effective area.

3.2It is essential to check for flue clearance, see installation section 6, Commissioning. If spillage is detected, it may be necessary to provide additional ventilation.

3.3The ventilation is in addition to any openable window, and although it must communicate with the outside air, wherever possible, it can communicate with an adjacent room provided that the space has a similar vent to the outside.
