1. SAFETY
Installer
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the
following guide to manual handling:
! The lifting weight (kg) of this appliance is as below:
Heat engine Casting Fascia Total
6.80 3.84 3.00 13.64
! One person should be sufficient to lift the fire. If for any reason this weight is
considered too heavy then obtain assistance.
!
When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
! Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
!
Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst
handling the fire.
!
Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
! Always keep the fire as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
! Use gloves to provide additional grip.
! Always use assistance if required.

3. APPLIANCE DATA
Under no circumstances is this fire to be converted to LPG. An LPG conversion kit
does not exist for this gas fire.
The appliance information label is located on a plate at the base of the fire. This can
be seen by lifting the bottom front cover of the fascia - See figure 5
on the last page
of the owner guide.
This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to
these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these articles to
ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release
of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and
servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any
dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire before and after working on
the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items
are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly
labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive
hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to accept such
waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we
recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or
drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or
drinking.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or
asbestos related products.

The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977 - 1 and
the result is as below :
Model
Efficiency % (Gross)
754 Artura 51
The gross calorific value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation. The
test data from which it has been calculated has been certified by Advantica
Certification services (0087). The efficiency value may be used in the UK
Government's Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.
The convertion of net efficiency to gross was achieved by multiplying the net
efficiency by the following conversion factor from Table E3 of SAP 2005, rounding
down to the nearest whole number.
4. GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
4.1 The installation must be in accordance with these instructions.
For the user’s protection, in the United Kingdom it is the law that all gas appliances

Gas Conversion factor from net to gross efficiency
Natural Gas 0.901
In Scotland, the current edition of the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations
issued by the Scottish Executive.
In Northern Ireland, the current edition of the Building regulations (Northern Ireland)
issued by the Department of
the Environment for Northern Ireland.
In the republic of Ireland the installation must also conform to the relevant parts of:
a) The current edition of IS 813 “Domestic gas installations”
b) All relevant national and local rules in force.
Where no specific instructions are given, reference should be made to the relevant
British Standard Code of Practice.
4.2 In the United Kingdom, as supplied, the appliance can be installed in the
following
situations: -
4.2.1 To a fireplace complete with surround and hearth as shown in figure 1 and
complying with BS1251 after removal of the fireback and sufficient material behind the
fireback for a debris catchment space. The required fireplace, hearth, debris
catchment area and clearance dimensions are shown in figure 1.
4.2.2 ‘Hole-in-the-wall’ installations.
It is recommended that a
hearth should be installed
as in figure 1.
If a hearth is not fitted, the
fire must be installed so
that the distance from the
base of the fireplace
opening in the wall to the
finished floor level is at
least 85mm.Where there
is no floor covering or
carpet and the floor is of a
type that is likely to be
covered in such a way
then the distance from the
base of the fireplace
opening in the wall to the
finished floor level should
be increased to at least
160mm. The minimum
shelf height will have to be taken from the base of the fireplace opening.
!
To protect from the risk of burns and ignition of clothing a tactile separator shall be
used. The hearth detailed in section 4.9 meets the requirements for a tactile
separator. If this is not used then a 672mm long fender, kerb, horizontal bar, or other
barrier, being fixed not less than 50mm above floor level and positioned 300mm in
Page 9

Figure 1. Hearth and fireplace opening dimensions
front of the fixing plane of the fire will
meet the requirement.
4.2.3 To a fireplace incorporating a
metal flue box complying with the
constructional requirements of the
current edition of BS715. The
dimensions of the flue box must
conform to those shown in figure 2.
4.2.4 A precast concrete or clay flue
block system conforming to BS1289
or BS EN 1806 with dimensions as
in figure 3 or using a 05654K1
spacer kit. (Installation Instructions
part number 3003095). The current
versions of BS1289 and BS EN
1806 recommend that there should
be an air space or insulation
between the flue blocks and the
plaster because heat transfer may
cause cracking on directly
plastered flues. However, generally
this appliance is suitable for
installations under all
circumstances unless there is a
history of cracking problems.
Remember that faults such as
cracking may be caused by poorly
built and restrictive flues, e.g.
mortar extrusions, too many bends,
flue heights below three metres,
restrictive terminations etc (See
figure 3).
4.2.5 If the fireplace opening is
greater than the acceptable
dimensions given in this guide, do
not use the back of a fire surround
or marble to reduce the opening.
This may cause cracking of the
surround back or marble.
