  • Page 7: General Clearances

    Heating radiating from this fire may over time affect the appearance of some materials used for flooring, such as carpet, vinyl, cork, or timber. We don’t recommend installing the Novo Cube directly on the floor if sensitive or unrated materials are used (refer next page) unless there is some protection placed in front of the appliance, such as a mat.
  • Page 8: Material Selection

    Material selection The temperature in front of the fire (approximately 200-350 mm x 400 mm wide) can reach up to 40 °C above ambient, which is why material selection is important. For example, vinyl planks are a popular option for flooring, however vinyl is only rated for ambient temperatures. In this example it would not be recommended that the fire is installed directly on the floor unless there was some form of floor protection in front of the fire.
  • Page 9 Installation examples Cube installed on a combustible platform Depending on material, refer table on previous page. The platform could extend 150 mm or 100 mm maximum in front of the fire. This is dimension E in the table. The height of the platform would need to be at least 150 mm or 300 mm high.
  • Page 10: Gas Supply And Connection

    The use of a rubber hose for any gas connection to a fixed appliance is NOT authorised by the manufacturer. IMPORTANT The gas supply position will vary slightly based on if a Novo Cube has been ordered or Freestander with a cabinet / plinth, refer installation pages for more information. Gas connection Firmly grasp the stainless steel flexi pipe and bend to line up with the gas control valve inlet, then attach the pipe to the gas control valve and tighten.

Bring enough cable through the floor to reach at least 100 mm above the top of the plinth. Bring the gas supply through to within approximately 50 mm of the top of the plinth, flare the pipe, and fit the supplied flexi tube.

  • Page 22: Burn Media Installation

    Burn media installation The granule pack and log set, consisting of five logs, comes packaged inside the appliance. Use extreme care when handling the logs, they are fragile and will damage easily. The unit must never be used with broken logs or other burn media. Experience has shown that the majority of performance problems are caused by burn media being installed incorrectly.
  • Page 23 Ensure the left hand log is pushed hard against the left and rear ceramic panels. DO NOT place the granules directly in front of the pilot flame If there are some abnormally long streaky flames, then readjust the granule position around the burner holes until the flames have improved.
  • Page 24: Commissioning

    Commissioning The gas pressures must be checked against those printed on the data plate of the appliance. The pressures are factory set and may not require adjustment. When checking the operating pressures the combustion chamber glass must be on. The commissioning sheet is located in a plastic pouch inside the unit on top of the PCB cover. Follow the commissioning instructions to complete the gas pressure checks.
  • Page 25: Wi-Fi Module Installation (If Applicable)

    Wi-Fi module installation (if applicable) If the Wi-Fi module retrofit kit has been purchased as an accessory, complete the installation using the instructions provided in the kit. Once installation has been completed check, when the power is on, that the Wi-Fi LED flashes and turns a solid red. This indicates everything is ready for setup via a smart device.
