INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
sought either from the supplier or the local building inspector. The
fireplace must allow good circulation of air around the appliance to
ensure that maximum heat is transferred to the room and also to
prevent the fireplace from overheating. A gap of 150mm (6”) each
side and 300mm (12”) above the appliance should give sufficient air
circulation. If a wooden mantelpiece or beam is used in the fireplace
it should be a minimum of 460mm (18”), and preferably 600mm
(24”) from the appliance. In some situations it may be necessary to
shield the beam or mantelpiece to protect it.
In order for the fire to operate correctly the rear air inlet must not
be obstructed.
The appliance should be installed on a floor with adequate load-
bearing capacity. If an existing construction does not meet this
requirement then please take suitable measures to achieve this. (e.g.
load distributing plate.)
CONNECTIONS TO FLUES
The Aire 7 must be connected to the flue using flue pipe of 150mm
(6”) diameter : and is tested for both Air Cooled triple Skin Flue
Kits & Room Seal Insulated flue Kits that have been tested to AS/
NZS2918:2018
The Aire 3 must be connected using flue pipe of 125mm (5”) diameter
and is tested for both Air Cooled triple Skin Flue Kits & Room Seal
Insulated flue Kits that have been tested to AS/NZS2918:2018.
When using the Room Seal Insulated Flue Kits, use 12mm rope seal
around the flue spigot to seal to the flue.
Horizontal lengths of flue must be kept to a minimum and should not
be more in length than the flue diameter.
The stove comes with the blanking plate (fig. 9) fitted to the rear
flue outlet. The seal for the top outlet is a 155mm dia ring of rope
seal. The seal for the rear outlet is a length of adhesive backed
fibre webbing supplied with instructions ref: TIS093. This is applied
to the flue collar or the Vertical Rear Flue adapter for rear outlet
installations. If a Vertical Rear Flue adapter is used on the Aire 3 then
the 010/AA081 spacer plate is required, this is supplied with the
Aire 3. All flue connections must be well sealed
PRE LIGHTING CHECK
Ensure that the baffle and upper baffle is fitted in the roof of the
appliance. For location and positioning see Fig. 2.
Check that the front fence is fitted correctly and that the door closes
properly.
COMMISSIONING
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for
the fire cement and mortar to dry out before lighting the fire. Make
a layer of ash or sand on the base of the stove before lighting. Check
to ensure that smoke and fumes are taken from the appliance up the
flue and emitted safely. Also check all joints and seals. On completion
of the installation and commissioning please leave the operating
instructions with the customer and advise them on the use of the
appliance.
