Adjustment points on the appliance
This is a free standing appliance and as such once the flue is in
position the appliance should be secure. However, if the floor
surface is uneven, additional fixings are supplied to allow the
adjustment of the four feet. Always ensure the appliance is level
and secure after adjustments are made.
Flue connections
This appliance has a top and rear outlet. The top outlet is the
most common for flue connections. The rear outlet has the same
connections but the blanking plate will need to be removed first
before it can be used. The minimum flue draught required for
nominal heat output is 12 Pascal’s.
At nominal heat output, the flue gas temperature will be in the
region of 242°C. The appliance should never be connected to a
shared flue. Seal the flue connections with fire cement or a high
temperature rope seal. The flue blanking plate should be positioned
over whichever outlet is not being used.
A register plate can be used to seal off the throat of the fireplace
and has a hole for a flue pipe. It also provides access for sweeping
and, if required, has a connection for a bracket to support the flue. A
5” (128mm) flue pipe is required from the appliance to the register
plate.
Testing points
This appliance has a flue test point which has various functions:
●
Helping to ensure correct installation and aiding the installer
to set up the Ellipse with the flue-pull in order to match the
manufacturer’s recommendations. See Flue Requirements.
●
For measuring the flue-pull during servicing to check for soot
or tar buildup in the chimney.
The test point is situated discreetly at the rear right hand side of
the appliance. The M8 screw can be removed and a flue test meter
can be placed in the hole in order to measure the flue-pull. On
completion, always ensure the M8 screw is re-fitted.
