INTRODUCTION
This manual contains installation, operation and maintenance instructions which, if followed correctly, will ensure
the safe and efficient operation of the Fire Door. It is therefore essential that the manual is read thoroughly in
advance of use to ensure you get the best out of your Fire Door and that you are operating it in a correct and safe
manner. The Fire Door is designed to be fitted as a component of a complete fireplace. It is important that the
complete fireplace is installed correctly before the Fire Door component is added.
Mazona
Stoves will not be
responsible for any consequential or incidental loss or injury however caused.
TESTING
This component has been tested by an independent laboratory (SGS) to a European standard closest to the intended
use (EN13229) with an open fireplace. When burning beech wood the fireplace and Fire Door produced 5kW of heat
at an average efficiency of 69%. CO output at 13% O2 was recorded at 0.17%.
WARNING
Fitting the Fire Door to an existing open fireplace will increase the temperature in the “firebox” or “burning
chamber”. A competent person must check to ensure that the existing firebox and chimney can withstand the
increase in temperature. The firebox and chimney should be heat resistant to a continuous temperature of 450°C.
UNPACKING
The Fire Door is heavy and assistance will be required during the unpacking and installation. Remove the outer
carton and inner plastic cover from the appliance. Care should be taken in removing the outer cardboard box as
exposed staples may cause injury.
