5. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1
Carefully remove all packaging.
2a
If installation is into a MASONRY ENCLOSURE : Remove firebricks as necessary to fit
the firebox into the opening. The firebox front when installed must be flush with the
finished fireplace surround and on a level base of the same height as the finished floor
protector. This may be achieved by using a concrete mix to level the base.
2b
If installation is into a
BUILT-IN CANOPY
: Construct the canopy box as per page 7
and install into framework following guides on pages 8-14 as applicable.
3
Slide the firebox into the opening so that the outer casing return folds are flush
with the finished fire surround.
4
DUE TO NEW ZEALAND BEING AN EARTHQUAKE PRONE COUNTRY, IT IS
IMPORTANT TO ANCHOR THE INSERT DOWN IN CASE OF EARTH
MOVEMENT. See diagram page 20 showing Typical Insert Installation.
5
Install Flue as per instructions on page 18 and 19 if installing in a masonry fireplace or
page 8,9,10,11,12, 15 if using a Built-in fire canopy (zero clearance box).
6
Now that the firebox and flue are in position, place 25mm white kaowool blanket
(supplied) on top of casing
.
7
As this fire sources its combustion air from the chimney cavity/enclosure, the fire MUST
be sealed around the front between the casing and the masonry or inbuilt canopy. This is
achieved by packing the yellow ISB insulation supplied between the casing and the
masonry or inbuilt canopy at the FRONT ONLY to maximum depth of 90mm.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE AIRPORTS ON THE SIDE
OF THE HEATER BE RESTRICTED. Refer diagram page 20.
The fire sources its combustion air from the chimney cavity, not from the room
where the fire is installed. This ventilation air should be drawn down the
chimney cavity from the air gap set up when the top spacer bracket holds the
weather collar off from the outer flue casing enabling air to be drawn into the
chimney cavity. Failure to ensure this air supply will starve the fire of air and
lead to poor performance.
8 Assemble and fit the fascia as per instructions on page 21.
NOTE: In the case of some insert fires into existing masonry fireplaces it may be necessary to
install additional adventitious ventilation into the chimney cavity as per AS/NZ 2918
3.4.1.2 to assist air flow into the fire.. This ventilation should not be taken/drawn from
the room that the fire is installed in.
