2. Loosen the three screws on the outer flange on the top surface of the stove. And remove it. 3. To open the door, a 14mm open-ended span- ner is required to turn the two hoks at the top and bottom of the door. 4.
Page 32
7. If the ceramic logs are fitted, remove these. 8. The thin side pieces of the back plate are removed by removing the locking brackets at the top. This is done by pushing the brack- et upwards. The side pieces can then be removed.
Page 33
Conversion of gas burner. The stove is supplied configured for natural gas or Propane gas but can be converted. The conversion must only be carried out by an authorised gas engineer. Use conversion kit with article number 3713595 NG to LPG or 3713596 LPG to NG.
Page 34
The nozzle for the main burner for LPG is marked "80" The nozzle for the main burner for natu- ral gas is marked "120" The nozzle for the pilot light for LPG is marked "27.1" The nozzle for the pilot light for natural gas is marked "31.2"...
Page 35
Conversion Label The authorised gas engineer who is doing the conversion shall fill out the conversion label with date of conversion, which conversion kit was used, Name and address of the organization doing the conversion and what gas was the stove converted to. Then affix the label besides the original rating plate.
Page 37
The gas unit needs to be dismantled to gain access to the injectors. Do this in the following manner: Lift the perforated plate up and out of the stove. Remove the reflector plate Loosen the four screws holding the gas unit in place.
Page 38
Now the gas unit can be lifted out carefully by tilting and rotating the unit a little. Once the gas unit has been dismounted, replace the four nozzles and adjust the three air intakes. Replace the two nozzles for the secondary burners by loosening the coupling and care- fully pulling the pipe out.
Page 39
Remove the nozzle for the main burner by loosening the coupling and carefully pulling the pipe out and then unscrewing the noz- zle. Fit the LPG nozzle and tighten the lock nut. Finally, re-tighten the coupling. Replace the nozzle for the pilot light by loosening the coupling and carefully pulling the pipe out.
Page 40
The air intake to the main burner is adjust- ed for LPG configuration by loosening the two nuts and pushing the plate all the way towards the burner. (The hole fully open) The two air intakes for the secondary burn- er are adjusted for LPG configuration by loosening the two screws and rotating the air intake by 90°.
Page 41
The air intakes need to be reversed therefore when the stove is config- ured for LPG. The gas unit is reassembled using the four screws. Replace the perforated plate and fully assemble the stove. See Section: Assembly of secondary burn- ers.
Page 42
Fitting of Secondary burners The burners are inserted above the pipes sticking through the perforated plate. Note that there is a right burner and a left one so it is important that they are posi- tioned as shown, i.e., that the side with the extra holes faces out the way.
Page 43
Arrangement of "Embers" and ”Logs" When layers of embers and the ceramic logs are arranged in the com- bustion chamber, it is important that the pilot flame and its thermosen- sor are not covered over. And that no glowing material finds its way down under the pilot plate guard.
Page 44
Ceramic "Logs Log A Log 1 Log B Log 2 Log 3 Log 4 Log 5 Log 6...
Page 45
Positioning of Logs and Embers Spread the content of the bag of "Embers" as shown in the illustration. Note: The pilot area must be kept clear of "Embers". Be sure not to block the holes of the center burner. Position the 8 logs as shown. Note, the two special logs marked A and B have a groove moulded on their undersides that fits on top of the two secondary burners.
