7.1
Please refer to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 in addition to the written instructions.
7.2
The free-standing barbecue can either be supported by a pedestal, or wall-
mounted by means of a rear securing bracket and wall plugs.
7.3
If the free-standing barbecue is to be installed under roof, check that the
position you have chosen is not directly underneath timber beams or
brandering. By hammering a nail downward through the ceiling between
beams and brandering a mark point can be established in order to position
the flue section and barbecue unit.
7.4
Bear in mind that steel flue pipe can get hot after prolonged heating. No
combustible materials should therefore be permitted to come too close to
the flue.
7.5
To install the steel flue, carefully cut a hole 25 mm larger than the flue
dimension, through the ceiling. An easy way to achieve this dimension is to
use the ceiling escutcheon plate as a template and add 12 mm all round.
7.6
If more than one flue section is used, the sections should be secured by
means of self-tapping screws and the joint sealed with black silicone sealer.
7.7
The section of the steel flue between the ceiling and roof should be
insulated with fibreglass, using the light-gauge wire meshing provided to
bind it into position.
7.8
The escutcheon plate, fixed around the flue, provides a neat finish where
the flue passes through the ceiling.
7.9
An opening for the chimney to project through the roof can be created by
removing the roof tiles in that area, or by cutting a hole - similar to that of
the ceiling - through the roofing material.
7.10
The chimney flue should be flashed at roof level, using either galvanised
iron flashing from Jetmaster, or lead flashing only. This is normally done by a
plumber. Acrylic flashing (liquid flashing) is not recommended. This is
followed by pushing down the weathering collar over the flue until it covers
the top of the flashing by approximately 50 mm, and sealing it against the
flue with black silicone sealer fitting the cowl. See 3.13 and 3.14.
