INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before you start:
Please read the instructions, planing your
installation will save you time and effort.
Check that your appliance is suitable for
the gas supply in your house - ie; Natural
Gas only. This is clearly marked on the
data badge.
The appliance must be installed (and
serviced) by a Corgi registered approved
installer or a person competent to ensure
that the installation is in accordance with
“The Gas Safety (Installation & Use)
Regulations 1994”, & the “The Gas
Safety (Installation & Use) (Amendment)
Regulations 1996”. Failure to comply with
these Regulations is a criminal offence.
Where regulations or standards have been
revised since this handbook was printed,
always use the latest edition.

standards are as follows:

Ventilation Requirements
The room containing the appliance should
have an air supply in accordance with
BS 5440: Part 2: 1989:

or equivalent, and some rooms will
require a permanent vent as well.
• For room volumes up to 5 m
3
an air
vent of 100 cm
2
is required.
• If the room has a door that opens
directly to the outside, or the room
exceeds 10 m
3
NO AIR VENT is
required.
• For room volumes between 5 m
3
and
10 m
3
an air vent of 50 cm
2
is
required.
• If there are other fuel burning
appliances in the same room, BS
5440: Part 2: 1989 should be
consulted to determine the air vent
requirements.
• This appliance must not be installed in
a bed sitting room of less than 20 m
3
or in a bathroom or shower room.
Windows and permanent vents should
therefore not be blocked or removed without
first consulting a CORGI gas installer.
Failure to install appliances correctly
is dangerous and could lead to
prosecution.
