Adjustment points on the appliance
This is a free standing appliance designed to be suitable for 12mm
hearths. Once the flue is in position, the appliance should be secure.
However if the floor surface is uneven, additional fixings are supplied
to allow the adjustment of the four feet. Always ensure the appliance
is level and secure after adjustments are made.
Flue connections
This appliance has a top and rear outlet. The top outlet is the
most common for flue connections. The rear outlet has the same
connections but the blanking plate will need to be removed first
before it can be used. The minimum flue draught required for
nominal heat output is 12 Pascals.
At nominal heat output, the flue gas temperature will be in the
region of 242°C. The appliance should never be connected to a
fixing plate
shared flue. Seal the flue connections with fire cement or a high
temperature rope seal. The flue blanking plate should be positioned
over whichever outlet is not being used.
A register plate (not supplied) may be required to seal off the throat of
the fireplace and has a hole for a flue pipe. It also provides access for
sweeping and, if required, has a connection for a bracket to support
the flue. A 5" (127mm) flue pipe is required from the appliance to the
register plate. Consult your installation engineer if you require one.
Testing points
This appliance has a flue test point which has various functions:
●
Helping to ensure correct installation and aiding the installer
to set up the Ellipse with the flue-pull in order to match the
manufacturer's recommendations. See Safety - Ventilation.
●
For measuring the flue-pull during servicing to check for soot
or tar buildup in the chimney.
The test point is situated discreetly at the top right hand side of
the appliance. The M8 screw can be removed and a flue test meter
can be placed in the hole in order to measure the flue-pull. On
completion, always ensure the M8 screw is re-fitted.
