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.

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.
