Flue requirements: For Standard Version Precast block flue system with a minimum internal free area of 12500mm² Brick or stone flue with 225mm (9") X 225mm (9") minimum or175mm (7") internal diameter.

All flues must be properly installed having a minimum effective height if 3 metres (9' 9") Installation: The fire must be installed by a qualified CORGI installer in accordance with the installation instructions. Existing chair brick may remain in situ providing the minimum spigot clearance is met. Clearance above appliance to a combustible shelf which has a projection not more than 150mm (6"), must be at least 835mm (33") above the hearths top surface. For a deeper combustible shelf you will need to increase this clearance (see instructions). Ventilation: Purpose provided ventilation (air brick) is not normally required. However, the installer must take account of any other appliance fitted in the same room or space and the result of the spillage test. For republic of Ireland ventilation should be provided in accordance with IS813, ICP3, and IS327. Fireplace requirements: A non-combustible fireplace having a minimum opening 385mm wide, 545mm high. The traditional 16"X22" opening is suitable. A 20mm deep spacer frame is available for use in shallow fire openings or to enable installation into low temperature fire surround packages. The required minimum depth of the fire opening may vary. This is due to the safety zone behind the fire having to be larger for flues that have previously used for solid fuel fires. Minimum depth for a new flue is 145mm. A 20mm spacer frame is available for shallower fireplace openings.

WARNING: As with any fire, a fixed fire guard should be used when the fire is used in the presence of pets, children, the elderly or the infirm. The energy input and output figures for these appliances have been assessed in accordance with the latest European standards. However performance may vary under fluctuations in flue conditions.
