Install Guide
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Consideration must be given to:
•
Safety
•
Convenience
•
Traffic flow
•
Chimney and flue requirements
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and floor protection,
before actually beginning the installation. If you are not
using an existing chimney, place the appliance where there
will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney
through the ceiling and roof.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans
before and after installation.
If this appliance is in an area where children may be near
it is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier
to go in front of the appliance. Remember to always keep
children away while it is operating and do not let anyone
operate this appliance unless they are familiar with these
operating instructions.
Check building codes prior to installation.
•
Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
•
Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire
officials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
CAUTION
NOTICE:
JETMASTER ASSUMES NO
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IMPROPER
PERFORMANCE OF THE APPLIANCE
SYSTEM CAUSED BY:
•
Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
•
Down drafts
•
Tight sealing construction of the structure
•
Mechanical exhausting devices
•
Over drafting caused by excessive chimney heights
•
Ideal performance is with height of chimney
minimum 4.6 metres as per AS/NZS 2918:2018.
Negative
pressure
results
from
the
imbalance
of
air
available
for
the
appliance
to
operate
properly.
It
can
be
strongest
in
lower
levels
of
the
house.
Causes
include:
•
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
•
Range hoods
•
Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water
appliances and other combustion appliances
•
Clothes dryers
•
Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning
•
Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
•
Upper level air leaks such as:
-
Recessed lighting
-
Attic hatch
-
Duct leaks
B. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1.
Install
at
least
one
smoke
detector
on
each
floor
of
your
home
to
ensure
your
safety.
They
should
be
located
away
from
the
heating
appliance
and
close
to
the
sleeping
areas.
Follow
the
smoke
detector
manufacturer’s
placement
and
installation
instructions,
and
be
sure
to
maintain
regularly.
2.
A
conveniently
located
Class
A
fire
extinguisher
to
contend
with
small
fires
resulting
from
burning
embers.
3.
A
CO
detector
should
be
installed
in
the
room
with
the
appliance.
4.
A
practiced
evacuation
plan,
consisting
of
at
least
two
escape
routes.
5.
A
plan
to
deal
with
a
chimney
fire
as
follows:
In
the
event
of
a
chimney
fire:
a.
Evacuate
the
house
immediately
b.
Notify
the
fire
brigade.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
