Installation into existing or masonry fireplace
The Eureka Opal
Insert can be installed into a masonry fireplace with a flue
system that is in accordance with the relevant sections of AS/NZS 2198:2001. No
combustible or heat sensitive material may be placed closer than 1040mm from
the top of the hearth/base of appliance and 50mm either side of the appliance’s
fascia.
Minimum hearth depth of 530mm from the front of the fascia panel must be
achieved. If it is desired to reduce the hearth depth to the minimum allowable
300mm in front of appliance fascia, the appliance must be raised to a new
height - refer elevated installation instructions on page 7.
For detailed mantle clearance dimensions, refer Figure 4.
Operating your Eureka
(Continued)
Cleaning your flue
Carefully remove baffle plate and put it to one side. Close the heater door. Obtain a 150mm flue brush from your local
Eureka Dealer and proceed up onto your roof. Remove the cowl. Slowly push the flue brush down the chimney until it
stops. Pull the brush back out and repeat the process. Each time you do this you will notice that the brush will go further
down the chimney till it reaches the bottom. The soot and creosote will fall down the chimney and into the firebox. Clean
residue from firebox. Replace the baffle plate. Make sure you do the job well. The cleaner the flue the less chance there
will be of the creosote sticking again. After you have replaced the cowl, inspect the roof flashing for any damage that
may have been incurred whilst you were cleaning the flue. Reseal the seal on the roof with roof and gutter silicone if
required.
The fan
It is recommended to run the fan while the heater is operating above low burn on low speed. For extended periods when
the heater is running above medium fire, high or boost is recommended. Boost is recommended for short bursts where a
quick temperature rise is desired in conjunction with a high fire setting. The fan should be cleaned on a regular basis.
(Refer Troubleshooting for fan removal and cleaning.)
WARNING
!
Operation of the fan
If firebox failure is reported and it is found that the firebox has been abused
through improper use of the fan, Eureka reserve the right to disallow any
warranty claims in relation to firebox failure.
WARNING
!
The Door
Leaving Door Open
As stated previously in relation to leaving door open 25mm to encourage the fire
to pick up at a faster rate. Your heater has been tested to ensure that no
structural damage can take place if the door is inadvertently left open. However
your paint finish can be damaged if the door is left open for a long period with a
full firebox of fuel with the fan off. Closely supervise your heater while the door is
left open.
Closing the Door
Always ensure that before you close your door there is no wood protruding
beyond the front of the firebox opening. Do not use the door glass as a ’battering
ram’ to push the wood back into the firebox. Damage to the glass by such
impact is not covered by your warranty.
Overnight burn
Approximately 30 minutes before turning the heater down to overnight burn it is recommended to load the heater with
fuel for the overnight burn. Leave the air control in the medium to high position. Let the heater run for about thirty
minutes. This will reduce the moisture content in the fuel before shut down. (This will help reduce the creosote formation
in the firebox and flue.) Set the air control to the setting you have found best for your requirements. Turn the fan off and
retire. The aim when overnight burning is to have only a few hot embers left in the bottom of the firebox in the morning.
Not huge lumps of wood.
