SPARK ARRESTOR
The spark arrestor is designed to prevent any sparks or small
debris from escaping the fireplace. It should always be in place
when the fireplace is in operation, especially when
unattended.
To open the spark arrestor, pull the right side towards you and
it will swing open to the left. To close, push closed until the
magnetic stop seats against the spark arrestor.
WHEN IN OPERATION SPARK ARRESTOR WILL BE HOT, USE
DAMPER TOOL OR HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES TO OPEN.
1.2.3.
ASH TRAY
The ash tray will catch ash as it falls through the grate, making
cleaning of the fireplace a much simpler task. To remove
simply pull the ash tray out towards you and slide back in until
fully seated once finished cleaning.
THE ASH TRAY WILL BE HOT DURING OPERATION. USE HEAT
RESISTANT GLOVES IF IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE.
1.2.4.
FAN
The N900 Open Fireplace is fitted with an electric fan to
further enhance it’s heating performance.
To operate, ensure the fan is plugged in (built-in installations
will be plugged in during install) and use the supplied remote
control to select the setting you wish.
The fan has 4 settings: off, low, med and high. Once in
operation, to switch between settings press the desired fan
output and the fan will slow down momentarily before
switching to the new speed.
1.3.
USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
For the first few times the appliance is lit, odorous fumes
will be given off as the paint cures.
Do not touch the paint work while it is curing otherwise it
can leave a permanent mark on the appliance.
Keep the room well ventilated until these fumes have
cleared.
Once the paint has cured, this will not re-occur.
1.4.
RECOMMENDED FUELS
Burn only seasoned hardwood timber with a moisture
content of less than 20%.
Newly cut wood should be split and allowed to
dry/season for 12 to 18 months before use.
Wood should be stored in an environment protected
from the weather to minimise any potential moisture
content.
For best results, it is better to burn several smaller pieces
of wood than one large piece at a time.
Poor quality timber:
o
Causes low combustion efficiency.
o
Produces poor emissions (smoky).
o
Results in additional build-up of creosote (soot)
in the flue which will then require regular
cleaning and may result in a flue fire.
Do not burn painted, impregnated/treated wood,
manufactured board products or pallet wood.
1.5.
LIGHTING THE FIRE
1)
Open the damper and visually inspect to ensure it is open.
2)
Place firelighters or paper and dry kindling wood on the
grate of the fireplace
3)
Light the paper or firelighters.
4)
If necessary, leave the spark arrestor open as the fire
establishes.
5)
Once the fire has taken hold add larger pieces of wood.
Too many logs may smother the fire.
6)
Once the fire is established, close the spark arrestor.
7)
Keeping the fire burning at the rear of the firebox will
minimise the chance of any smoke spillage into the room.
DO NOT LEAVE THE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED WHILE THE
SPARK ARRESTOR IS OPEN.
