6.1.4
Installations using a metal flue box
The whole of the top surface of the metal flue box must be covered with a 100mm layer
of mineral wool or equivalent insulation (See figure 2).
6.2 Fireplace flue pull.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed. After
confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke pellet
and check that there is a definite flow through the flue. Verify outside that the smoke
exits from one terminal only and that the termination is suitable. Observe where
possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke indicating a
defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few minutes and repeat
the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow the flue may need remedial work –
Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite flow through the flue.
7. IGNITION CHECK
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the ignition system performs
satisfactorily.
Set the control knob to the off
position. Depress the control
knob and rotate it
anticlockwise to the pilot
ignition position. A 'click' will
be heard as the integral piezo
operates. A spark should be
seen between the electrode and
pilot tip. If there is no spark
check the following: -
!
Ensure that the electrode lead is connected to the terminal at the base of the
electrode.
!
If the above is correct, check for damage to the electrode lead.
8. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the ‘T’ connector at
the bottom front of the appliance. The ‘T’ connector can be rotated to allow a
connection from any rear-concealed connection. The ‘T’ connector includes a valve for
isolating the gas supply and a pressure test point.
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
Concealed supply pipe connection.
If a concealed connection from inside the fireplace is required then
