*When fitting the appliance to a pre cast flue, the total minimum depth of fire opening necessary is (D) 215mm. This allows a 25mm space behind the appliance for debris, required on this type of flue system. This is achieved either by using = (A) a 115mm deep starter block + (B) a 25mm plasterboard and sealed space + (C) 75mm Gazco space (part number 8315) with a marble slip or similar, inserted behind the spacer front flange, see diagram 1.

Or the total dept can be achieved by using a deeper starter block, remedial building work to the front of the fireplace opening, and a marble slip or similar, or a combination of this.

Class 1 flues. Chimneys over 9” x 9” must be lined.

A flue restrictor is provided with the Logic convector. This must be fitted when the flue is 9” x 9” or when the flue pull is excessive. This is fitted from inside the appliance across the outlet at the top of the convector box with two screws provided.

1.2The minimum effective height of the flue or chimney must be 3 m (10ft).

1.5Ensure that there is a smooth taper 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.
