USER GUIDELINES
AND WARRANTY
(non-clean air model)
Thank you for purchasing a Kent wood fire. Used correctly it will provide you
with many years of warmth in your home. Kent wood fires have been the main
source of heating for many Kiwi homes, with nearly 400,000 installed.
Controlling the Tilefire:
On initial light up, the presence of smoke may be noticed. This is normal and
will dissipate quickly. DO NOT BURN YOUR HEATER TOO QUICKLY TO BEGIN WITH.
Allow several small fires to build up a layer of ash in the heater, and cure the
paint before using maximum power.
The Tilefire requires up to 40 cu.m/h of fresh air for burning, and this must come
from outside the house. A normal house will allow enough air in through
incidental openings to satisfy this. We recommend that a source of air be
located near the heater for best performance. This can be simply a window
that is left ajar while the heater is in use. If this is not possible, and the house is
particularly air-tight, a vent may need to be installed next to the heater to
provide the air required. Lack of air will lead to a heater that is hard to light
and get going, or in bad cases, to smoke spilling back into the room. This
situation can also lead to excessive carbon monoxide levels through
incomplete combustion.
There is only one control on the Tilefire. This is the air control, on the right side of
the ash spill tray below the door, which adjusts the amount of air that enters
the heater. Pushing in the control knob reduces the amount of air entering the
heater and reduces the burning rate.
While an air control is fitted, it is recommended that, for the cleanest
operation, this is left fully open and the amount of heat generated is adjusted
by the amount of fuel that is used. The heater burns cleanest when it is running
at a high rate. Reducing the air inlet setting drops the internal temperature of
the fire, which can lead to excessive smoke and emissions being produced.
This model is designed for easy lighting, simple operation and controllable
heat outputs.
Please ensure your installer completes and signs the
warranty registration card in this booklet and you return it
to us. We encourage you to read the warranty conditions
and draw your attention to improper fuel use.
Standard Warranty:
Your Kent wood burner is warranted for 10 years on the firebox with the exception of
the following Kent parts: glass, glass seal, door seal, fire bricks, flue, secondary air
system and removable baffle which will all have a 12 month warranty (parts only)
provided they have been installed by a NZ Home Heating Association registered
installer. The warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear, misuse or neglect,
nor if parts of the heater are replaced with non genuine Kent parts. Kent
recommends an annual service and flue sweep (years two to five) with replacement
of parts if recommended to obtain maximum life out of your wood burner.
Conditions:
Your Kent wood burner must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all applicable standards, regulations and by-laws. Your Kent wood
burner must be installed with a genuine Kent flue system purchased from your
authorised Kent retailer. Failure to do so will void your warranty in its entirety. The
company is not liable for any consequential damage by a failure or defect covered
in this warranty. All claims against the warranty must be directed in the first instance
to the retail outlet from which you made your purchase. Any repairs undertaken
without the express authority of Kent will invalidate this warranty. This warranty does
not cover damage caused by wetbacks/water boosters, burning improper fuels
(driftwood/treated wood/coal or plastic-based waste), or installation, plumbing and
sweeping work done by others (the installer is liable for any incorrect procedures or
poor workmanship).
Transferability:
Your Kent wood burner warranty is transferable on the sale of the home where the
wood burner is installed. Nothing in this warranty is intended to limit any conditions of
the warranty right or remedy pursuant to the Consumer Guarantee Act 1993, except
to the extent permitted under the Act. Your Kent wood burner is intended for
domestic use only and the warranty is not valid for wood burners to be used for
business purposes. Kent reserves the right to alter or amend specifications or designs
of its product without prior notice.
