VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
• NOTE: The “FREE AIR” quoted above is the area of air which can pass
through the air vent. It is not the size of the grille on the wall. If in
doubt please contact the vent manufacturer and get the specification
for the vent.
• 3.5Kw Version - The area the fire is to be installed in must have a wall
vent of at least 125cm² of ventilation (FREE AIR) and an open-able
window.
• 2.7Kw Version - The area the fire is to be installed in must have a wall
vent of at least 100cm² of ventilation (FREE AIR) and an open-able
window.
• The wall vent must be positioned at least 1 metre away from the
appliance.
• Republic of Ireland – Two free air wall vents of not less that 60 cm²
each, one not less that 1.6m above the other, must be installed in the
room.
• When providing ventilation openings consideration must be given to
the avoidance of locations where discomfort from draughts may cause
the user to block the openings. Similarly the possibility of curtains or
furniture blocking ventilation openings must be considered.
• Floor vents, window vents or chimneys are not suitable means
of ventilation. On no account must inlet or outlet grilles be
obstructed. Working services include the air outlet grille.
• NOTE: In some installations, if the fire shuts down, additional
ventilation may be required. This can be due to how air circulates
within the room. If this is the case it is advised to add a second vent
positioned away from the first vent at a higher level.
