INSTALLATION & SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
(
continued)
INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
Having ensured that the appliance application is correct and the requirements of the flue specification, ventilation demands and
the gas supply are correct, proceed with the installation and assembly as follows:
a. In common with all other gas appliances, dirt and debris in the gas system can block the valve and gas injectors on
this appliance, and faults caused by this are not covered by the guarantee. If you suspect that there is dirt and/or
debris in the gas distribution system, fit a filter in the pipeline, before the burner gas installation connection.
b.
Do not use jointing compound on any compression fittings on the burner or the control valve. The use of jointing compound on
the compression fittings on this appliance will possibly invalidate the guarantee, as it can get into the control valve mechanism
and cause it to malfunction.
c.
Ensure that there is an isolating valve in the gas supply line near the appliance.
d.
Check that all gas connections are sound. The appliance has been factory tested; however the connections may have been
disturbed in transit or storage.
e.
Open fires are a hazard; it is recommended that a guard be fitted to provide protection for children, the elderly, or infirm (see
National Regulations if any).
f.
Do not adjust or put out of action the spillage monitoring system (oxypilot), or change any of its parts.
g.
Use only original manufacturer's parts if any replacements are needed.
h.
If there is any concern about a pressure zone causing downdraught in certain wind conditions a suitable chimney cowl should
be fitted
i.
Place the firebox in position, with the pilot to the rear, and remove the lift-out top grille.
j.
Fit the 4 # AA batteries in the battery box located at the left hand end of the Fireboxx, and replace the battery box with its
connector lead connection at the top. Ensure that the lead wire does not contact the end of the burner pan by tucking the lead
wires between the battery box and the left hand end of the Fireboxx, as shown on the drawing on page 6.
k.
Run the gas supply through the grommeted hole in the bottom of the Fireboxx and connect it to the test point elbow inlet
connection at the right hand end of the burner.
l.
Ensure the restrictor screw in the test point elbow is in the fully open position.
m.
Carry out a gas soundness check. You can use the test point connection on the test point elbow inlet connection for your
manometer. (Inlet Pressure 20mbar.)
n.
Replace the top grille and position the battery cover plate as shown in the drawing on page 6.
ARRANGEMENT OF THE FUEL BED FILL
a. The burner tray is supplied with the burner already fixed in place.
i. Cover the burner slot with Sellotape or similar to prevent vermiculite fill getting into the burner gas slots.
ii. Fill the burner tray all-round the burner block and then vigorously tap the sides of the outer box with the palms of your
hands until the vermiculite settles, thus partly filling the void under the burner block.
iii. Repeat 2 above as necessary until the void under the burner block is full and then agitate more vermiculite into this void
by using a screwdriver or similar.
iv. Once again top up the vermiculite to be approximately 3mm below the top of the burner block.
v. Remove the Sellotape or similar from the burner gas slots and ensure that the pilot assembly, top of the burner block and
burner gas slots are totally clear of vermiculite granules.
!WARNING!
No vermiculite or ceramics covering should be in the burner gas slots as this will block them and
possibly cause the air intake (venturi) underneath to ignite and damage the electronic controls. If this happens there
will be clear tell-tale signs to show this and the warranty will be void.
Failure to fill the void under the burner block will void the warranty and could result in the electronics overheating.
b.
Cover the burner block and the loose vermiculite with 5-7mm (approximately a single layer) of the simulated crushed rock, and
shape off to the edge of the tray (see drawing below).
c.
The Fireboxx can be used with just the simulated crushed rock as the firebed. Nu-Flame can also supply premium quality
simulated pebbles, simulated logs or simulated driftwood specially designed to be used with the Fireboxx and these can be
positioned on top of the simulated crushed rock to give a range of different looks. If using these items please refer to the
appropriate layout drawing located at the back of these instructions, paying attention to the fact that you must not cover any part
of the gas outlet slots with the base layer of simulated pebbles/logs/driftwood.
The only thing that can cover the slots
is one layer of crushed rock in the
