This product has a 15 year limited warranty (1 year warranty on the gas unit), which
extends to the overall construction and workmanship of the product. Rust, paint
discoloration, various parts and incorrect installation are not covered by this warranty. To
protect your interest, be sure to employ a reputable and competent body to do the
installation. Points to keep in mind are:
Refer to Fig. 1
1. Construct brick support walls for the unit to your personal desired height. Concrete lintels can
be used for the base support. You may drill a hole at the rear or bottom (right hand side) for a
gas pipe connection to be made.
2. Position the unit and cover the back, sides and top with insulation, before unit is bricked in. Any
type of fire-glass wool or ceiling insulation can be used. Not included with this product.
3. To allow for expansion, ensure a gap of 20mm between back and sides of the body of the unit
and the brickwork.
4. Also make provision for electrical wiring for the light fitting on the left side of the braai in the
holes provided.
5. Chimney height with a minimum of 2.0m is critical for a proper draw. It is recommended that
one steel flue pipe be installed. The remainder of the chimney may be constructed from
brickwork. You may choose to use more than one flue pipe.
6. The inner dimensions of the chimney must not be less than the flue outlet opening on the top of
the unit. Example 230mm X 400mm.
7. Steel flue linings will provide a smooth surface for better draw and protect the brickwork against
heat corrosion.
8. Use standard flashing material and procedure to waterproof the roof around the chimney. Not
supplied with this product.
9. The flue can be offset to avoid obstructions, providing sufficient support to prevent sagging. 45
Degree bends are available at Megamaster Retailers.
10. A rotating cowl is necessary to prevent down drafts on windy days and will prevent rain from
entering the chimney. The chimney and the cowl must be 100 % level and the gap between
the lowest part of the cowl and the chimney must be minimal. A “bolt-on base" is supplied with
the unit. (Not included in contractors models).
11. After installation, all exposed parts of the chimney and rotating cowl can be painted with good
quality heat resistant black enamel paint.
12. The rotating cowl axle must be greased regularly to avoid rust. The unit is supplied with 2 x
stainless steel ball bearing to allow the cowl to rotate freely. Slide these two bearing into the
hollow round tube of the base.
13. The brass knob supplied can be fitted by fastening the screw supplied from behind the door
panel into the hole on the rear of the knob.
