3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 GENERAL
The gas fire must be positioned and connected as a “room sealed system” (balance
flue) appliance by a CORGI registered gas installation engineer in accordance with the
following installation instructions, nationally and locally applicable regulations (see
“Technical Details/ Regulations” at the rear of this manual). If you have any queries
regarding the installation, please consult your local gas company.
Important: Before beginning the installation, check that the details on the
rating plate correspond to the gas type and pressure to which
the appliance will be connected.
The appliance is factory set to the correct tolerances. The pilot light is set to the correct
level of consumption.
It is possible to install the gas fire with either a wall or roof outlet, using the Barbas or
Ontop (US-System) concentric flue Ø100 mm (inner) - Ø150 mm (outer) system. The
fumes are exhausted naturally to the outside environment through the inner Ø100 mm
pipe whereas the combustion air supply passes between the Ø100 mm and Ø150 mm
pipes.
The gas fire can be installed in a completely sealed or mechanically ventilated
house without extra ventilation and/or fume extraction.
The gas fire can be installed as an insertion into an existing open fire place or as
a built-in appliance in a new fire place.
The exception to this rule is the Smart Bell. This appliance can also be wall-mounted.
Chimney ventilation and a convection package is then not required.
In order to prevent the fireplace heating up excessively, it must be properly
ventilated by installing vents at the top and bottom of the fireplace..
The appliance can be fitted with a convection package as an optional extra. This is a
‘convection jacket’ for the appliance, two flexible aluminium pipes and two built-in
convection vents. This enables hot air to be circulated into the room.
When handling the frame, we advise you to use the special gloves supplied, and
to leave them with the owner of the hearth after installation.
If an existing chimney is to be used, please consult your installer first. If the chimney
was previously used for a wood or coal fire, then it should be cleaned by an expert.
