  service person. More frequent cleaning may be  

 

  required as necessary. It is imperative that control    
  compartment, burners and circulating air passages    
  of the appliance and light be kept clean.

Prior to assembling your appliance, the following must be
reviewed. Compliance with the following should result in
satisfactory appliance operation. This instruction manual
should be retained for future reference. The installation
must conform with local codes or authority having 
jurisdiction.

1.  The appliance is intended for residential and   

 

 

nonresidential outdoor spaces. The installation  

 

 

must conform with New Zealand Standard 5261 “Gas  

 

Installations”.

2.  Adequate clearance around air openings into the
 

combustion chamber, clearances from combustible

 

materials, provisions for accessibility and for

 

combustion and ventilating air supply must be

 

maintained at all times when the appliance is  

 

 

operating. 

3.  Proper clearance from combustible materials must be
 

maintained at all times. The minimum clearances are

 

as follows:

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions

Combustible materials are considered to be wood,
compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic, plexiglas or
other materials capable of being ignited and burned.
Such materials shall be considered combustible even
though flame proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.
Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted
surfaces and other materials which may be damaged by
radiant or convection heat.

4.  The appliance must be placed on a level and adequate
 

footing and be readily accessible.

5.  The gas manifold supply pressure must be regulated
 

at 2.75 kPa utilising an approved regulator

 

(supplied with appliance).

6.  The appliance must be inspected before each use, and
 

at least annually by a qualified service person.

 

a. The appliance area must be kept clear and free of

 

  combustible materials, gasoline and other   

 

 

  flammable vapours and liquids.

 

b. Gas orifices and burner must be kept clear of dirt

 

  and cobwebs. Flow of combustion and ventilation    

 

  air through the perforated portions of the appliance  

 

  must not be obstructed. Cleaning with a soft  

 

 

  brush before use and at least every six months is   

 

  recommended.

 

c. All gas connections should be checked for leaks

 

  utilising a soap solution. Never use a flame for this

 

  purpose.

 

d. The flame pattern at the emitter grid should be

 

  visually checked whenever the appliance is  

 

 

  operated. If flames extend beyond surface of the    

 

  emitter grid or black soot is accumulating on the    

 

  emitter grid or reflector, the appliance should  

 

 

  be turned off immediately. The appliance should not  

 

  be operated again until the unit is serviced and or   

 

  repaired. 

 

e. Any cleaning agent used on the appliance should be

 

  of a non-combustible and non-corrosive nature.

 

  Warm soapy water is ideal. While washing the

 

  appliance, be sure to keep the area around the    

 

  burner and pilot assembly dry at all times. If the    

 

  gas control is exposed to water in any way, do NOT  

 

  try to use it. The appliance should be regularly  

 

 

  cleaned and protected to reduce oxidation, ideally a  

 

  cover should be used when not in use. 

 

f. The emitter grid normally does not require cleaning

 

  and should 

NEVER

 be painted. The reflector may   

 

  be cleaned, but never painted.
