DOOR HANDLE AND DOOR
The door handle is pre-fitted and should not require any
adjustment on assembly of the fire.
To ensure the door is shutting correctly cut a plain piece
of paper about 50mm wide and place between the
open door and the door frame. Close the door and try
to pull the piece of paper out. If the paper can be freely
pulled out, the door will need to be adjusted so when the
door and handle is in the locked closed position pressure
is applied to the paper strip ensuring the door is sealed
correctly.
If the handle has too much sideways movement the
back nut on the hinge screw will need to be released. Tighten the hinge screw with an Allen
key until the desired movement is achieved (not too tight, not too loose), then re-tighten the
back nut to hold screw in position.
Any adjustment required to maintain the correct fit of the door is made at the door catch pin
on the right side of the door lip. To adjust the fit of the door catch, loosen the lock nut and turn
the catch pin to loosen or tighten the fit. Re-tighten the lock nut (Refer Fig.3).
FOR MORE INFORMATION, REFER TO THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE FLUE KIT.
Before the wood fire is used, ensure that a Compliance Certificate (supplied by
a Registered Installer and/or Territorial Authority Inspector) is obtained for the
user. We encourage initial demonstrations on how to light and operate the fire to
ensure the user can confidently operate the fire for safe and efficient performance.
Where the flue terminates more than one full section above the roof penetration, it must be
restrained with guy wires or bracing support bars for stability in high wind conditions.
NOTE: The flue pipe shall extend not less than 4.6m above the top of the floor protector.
The flue cowl must be at least 0.6m above the highest point of the roof, if within 3 metres of the
ridge. The flue cowl must be at least 1m above the roof penetration if more than 3 metres from
the ridge (Refer Fig. 2).
No part of a building, or any adjacent object, may be above flue in a circular area of 3 metres
from the flue exit.
These heights are given as a minimum, and in actual practice the presence of surrounding
structures, trees, fences, etc. may necessitate additional flue height for satisfactory performance.
