Page 8: The Chimney (Flue)
It is recommended that the fireplace be installed at least 800mm from combustible materials. However, any household furnishings should be at least 1000mm away as they could be adversely affected by heat. The fireplace can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free air gap of at least 200mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50 mm at the back of the fireplace to obtain maximum heat output and for access to the rear of the fireplace. -
Page 9: Flue Height
Bends and offsets should be formed only with the matching factory-made components. Liners need to be placed with the sockets or rebate ends uppermost to contain moisture and other condensates in the flue. Joints should be sealed with fire cement, refractory mortar or installed in accordance with their manufacturer’s instructions. -
Page 10: Inspection And Cleaning
BENDS IN FLUES Offsets in flues are only acceptable if the following rules are respected: a) The chimney system shall have no more than 4 bends in total; - 2 bends in the chimney and 2 bends in the flue pipe connection. b) The offset shall provide a change of direction no more than 45 degrees from the vertical. -
Page 11: Connection To The Chimney
There must always be a permanent means of providing air for combustion into the room in which the fire is installed. A permanent vent with a total free area of at least 550mm2 for every kW rated above 5kW should be connected directly to the outside air or an adjacent room which itself has a permanent vent of the same size direct to the outside air. -
Page 12: Using Your Fireplace
CLEANING THE FLUE Access for cleaning the flue should be incorporated in the system other than through the appliance (e.g. a soot door or access through a register plate). FUME EMISSIONS To avoid chimney problems, your fire should not be burnt slowly for longer than 12 hours without a period of fast burning. -
Page 13: Types Of Fuel
950Log Base/950/950 Insert Air Slide Air Slide Door Handle Door Handle TYPES OF FUEL Fuel should be dry and timber should be well seasoned (at least 8-12 months) so as to have moisture content below 20%. The use of damp wood will result in more soot and tar deposits being left in the chimney, flu and fireplace, and will not release heat if thermal energy is being used to drive out moisture from the fuel. -
Page 14: Lighting Your Fire
FIREBRICKS The firebricks are designed to fit in the base and along the rear and side walls of the firebox. Please ensure the bricks are fitted before using the fire. LIGHTING YOUR FIRE 1) Place firelighters and pieces of crumpled newspaper in firebox floor. 2) Cover the paper with small diameter split kindling. -
Page 15: General Operation
INITIAL OPERATION PERIOD Operate your first few fires to allow the high temperature paint to cure. NOTE: For the first few fires the high temperature paint curing may cause an odour. Ensure sufficient ventilation is supplied to allow dissipation of any smoke and odour. THIS ODOUR IS NORMAL GENERAL OPERATION Refueling on to a low fire bed... - Page 16 Initial paint curing: Note: NEVER wipe the stove in the early stages (prior to paint fully curing), as the paint will be very soft and will damage easily. NEVER attempt to clean or wipe the paint surface when warm or hot.

• Once theses logs are alight, and after about 7 minutes or so, a normal load of 2 or 3 logs weighing up to 1.5kg each, can be added (ONLY AFTER THE INITIAL TEMPERING PERIOD HAS BEEN FOLLOWED – SEE ABOVE) Refueling Once the heater has been burning on high for approximately 20 to 30 minutes it will have reached operating temperature. -
Page 18: Ash Removal
ASH REMOVAL Keep the fireplace free from a heavy build-up of ash. The frequency of this is dependent upon the type and quality of fuel being used. Ash should be removed before it builds up to the underside of the grate, at which point, the grate would be burning hot on both sides, shortening its life expectancy. - Page 19 9. To keep the outer body clean, simply dust over with a clean soft duster when cold. If there are marks which cannot be removed with a duster, use a slightly moistened cloth very gently, but only when the stove is cool and has not been in use. Then pat dry with absorbent paper towel. Regularly vacuum soot and dust from around the inside of the door and around the glass and rope seals.
