INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION

3.6The flue system may now be connected to the stove. Ensure that all joints are sealed with a suitable fire resistant sealant. It is also recommended that a physical retention method be used at the flue spigot joint, self-tapping screws being favoured.

3.7Connect a suitable pressure gauge to the test point located on the inlet fitting, and turn the gas supply on. Light the appliance and check all gas joints for gas soundness. Turn the appliance to maximum and check that the supply pressure is as stated on the databadge. Turn the gas off and replace the test point screw. Turn the gas on and check the test point for gas soundness.

CLOSURE PLATE INSTALLATION

NOTE: The stove is also suitable for installation onto a fireplace opening. The following method illustrates how this can be achieved with the aid of the optional closure plate and spigot extension. Ensure the fireplace dimensions are as shown in diagram 2.

3.8Place the closure plate against the fireplace opening and ensure that there is sufficient overlap around the perimeter to allow a fume tight seal to be made. Cut straight across the top of the plate if trimming is required.

3.9Seal the plate to the opening and the hearth with a suitable heat resisting material. Ensure that any relief opening at the bottom of the plate is left unobstructed.

3.10Secure the spigot extension to the engine assembly and seal with heat resisting tape or similar. Position the engine assembly ensuring that the 50mm rear clearance is maintained, then proceed with the installation as detailed in points 3.2 to 3.7 above. See diagram 2.

4. HANDLING & DISPOSAL OF FIRE CERAMICS

The fuel effect and side panels in this appliance are made from Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), a material which is commonly used for this application.

Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or drinking.

To ensure that the release of RCF fibres are kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing a HEPA filtered vacuum is recommended to remove any dust accumulated

in and around the appliance before and after working on it. When servicing the appliance it is recommended that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty polythene bags and labelled as RCF waste.

RCF waste is classed as stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed of at a licensed landfill site.

Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract; wash hands thoroughly after handling the material.

5. FUELBED ARRANGEMENTS

Remove the cast iron door using the tool provided. The main ceramic components are inside the firebox.

NOTE: THE CAST IRON DOOR IS HEAVY, TAKE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING TO AVOID DAMAGING THE OUTER CASING.

The fuel bed consists of 5 logs and 2 ash panels. The logs have letters A,B,C,D and E moulded into them for identification.

5.1Take the rear log A and place it up against the rear of the fire sitting on the two flat ledges of the burner. The two legs of the log should sit between the rear burner ports. See diagram 3. Ensure an equal gap between each side of the log and the side of the firebox.
