There are additional safety factors to remember when
using the Adept Oak Pedestal option.
1) The appliance must be positioned on the included
12mm thick steel plate. The plate sits between the top of
the oak base and the appliance on top. This plate not only
distributes evenly the weight of the stove, but also provides
the required heat shielding from the combustible timber
below.
2) When using as a wood-burner, the base can be used as
a log store. It is important to ensure that small fragments of
wood and dust/ saw dust are kept clear from the base as
small fragments of wood pose the greatest risk of fire from
falling embers.
3) The door to the log store should be kept closed whilst
the stove is burning except for access.
4) Where there is risk of falling embers, the tempered glass
door-facade should be fitted using the top and bottom
retaining brackets provided. (The glass facade is not
required to be fitted if only used for bio-ethanol burning).
5) Dust the surface of the oak base regularly with a
dry duster. Vacuum the inside regularly to remove dust
and wood particles. Regularly vacuum the sliding door
mechanism to keep free of dust.
6) Never exert any force on the door downwards or
otherwise - the door requires only a light touch sideways to
open or close.
7) The pedestal is finished with a water repellent polish
called ‘Osmo Top Oil’. when required in future, the pedestal
can be re-finished with the same product. Although it is
water repellent, it is not a good idea to allow the surface to
be soaked or to be regularly cleaned with excessive water.
8) The Oak pedestal base is supplied with high density-
foam pads which are self adhesive and can be used on the
underside of the pedestal to raise itself a few millimetres off
the ground ensuring the door has ground clearance to slide
open, and to allow for any small level-discrepancies of the
hearth. Put these pads close to each corner of the bottom
of the pedestal base before lifting into position.
The ‘Adept Wall-Hung’ option comes supplied with
heavy duty wall fixing bracket
(figure 5.0)
which should
be securely affixed to a suitably level, and strong wall /
structure.
The wall needs to be of suitable non-combustible material.
Fixings for attaching the stove to the wall plate are
supplied, as are fitments for adjusting the levelling of the
stove.
Fixings to attach the wall plate to the wall are NOT
supplied.
We recommend using M8 diameter suitably strong fixings
with ‘penny’ type washers and 10mm spacing nuts/
washers to keep a gap of 10mm between the wall and the
plate.
1) Using a spirit level, and the plate as a template, wall
fixing points can be pencil marked on the wall through the
elongated holes on the plate. (Do not aim for the very ends
of the elongated slots as fixing points as this will reduce
your adjustment capability once the fixing locations have
been drilled). Plan on using a minimum of four fixing points,
one towards each corner of the plate.
2) Once the fixing location are marked, remove the wall
plate and make the fixing points in the wall.
3) Secure the wall plate to the wall ensuring to use 10mm
spacer washers to keep a slight gap between the plate and
the wall. Ensure the plate is level and square.
4) Using 2 people to carefully lift the stove, locate the four
bracket tabs which are at the back of the stove, ON TOP
of the corresponding tabs on the wall plate. Whilst holding
the stove in position, affix the stove the plate by dropping
through its supplied M10 bolts, nuts and washers.
