Step 1: Unpack and ensure all components are correct and undamaged
•
Appliance
•
Box of firebed mediums
Step 2: Install plinth (if required)
•
If the appliance is to sit on a plinth, ensure it is
capable of supporting a 200kg load.
•
There is no clearance requirement for the base of
the appliance. It may safely sit directly upon
combustible (eg. timber) and non-combustible
(eg. concrete) materials.
Step 3: Install appliance into cavity
•
Important:
The cavity (that the appliance is to be
installed into) must be weather-tight and free-
draining and comply with the requirements of the
New Zealand Building Codes E2 (External
Moisture).
•
Before installation, confirm all minimum
clearances from the outside surfaces of the
appliance to the surrounding enclosure are no
closer than 25mm from combustible materials and
5mm from non-combustible materials.
• The exception to these minimum clearances is the base and the front surround panels of the appliance, the
base can safely sit directly upon combustible (e.g. timber) and non-combustible (e.g. concrete) materials,
refer to the appropriate appliance specification for the correct clearance requirements. Ensure the framing
is capable of supporting a 200kg load.
•
Ensure the appliance has adequate air supply to the cavity under the burner. Check appropriate appliance
specifications for air requirements.
• If a gas supply pipe has already been run to the cavity, ensure 1000mm of 3/8 soft copper tube is available
at the centre of the cavity, as this is where the copper tube with the gas supply enters the appliance.
• If an electrical supply cable has already been run to the cavity (must be a minimum of 1.0mm 4 core cable),
ensure that the cable reaches the centre of the cavity, as this is where it will enter the appliance.
• In order to access the fixing slots in the base of the appliance, and the gas and electrical connections, it is
necessary to first remove the burner.
