Installation Tips - Cannon FITZIB-SDSEB-NG User Instructions

Installation tips

❍ Test the operation of the chimney before installing the new heater.
❍ Be careful!
CANNON heaters are high efficiency products with low flue gas tem-
peratures (typically 100°C) so if you are replacing an older type radi-
ant heater with a much higher flue gas temperature (150°C or higher)
make sure of the integrity of the fireplace and chimney before installing
the new CANNON log fire.
❍ A solid, levelled and smooth base is required (fill gaps with fibreglass
insulation if necessary).
❍ Avoid installing into large volume fireplaces and chimneys and not
fitting a flue. (It is better to install a flue in these applications).
❍ We recommend cleaning or sweeping of the chimney and fireplace
before the installation of the heater commences.
❍ There must be a good seal around the heater, gas piping and electrical
cable rear entry to stop any leakage of combustion products. Do not
use adhesives or silicone sealant, the heater must be able to be easily
removed if necessary.
❍ Install a chimney plate and cowl to the chimney opening using weath-
erproof mortar to common building practice.
❍ Remove any curved firewall that slopes too far forward to the fireplace
opening as it causes restriction to the flue path above the heater flue
outlet.
❍ Make sure that the heater is fully commissioned and be certain to con-
duct a test of the integrity of the flue operation, taking into account any
influences created by rangehoods, exhaust fans, central heating, etc.
❍ To avoid any unnecessary delays and inconvenience to your customer,
please contact our Technical Services Department on 1300 727 421
if the installation is unusual or you have concerns with the installation
and/or heater operation before the installation commences.
❍ Any service requests resulting from incorrect installations are not cov-
ered by our warranty conditions and these calls will result in charges,
usually to the end user, so please ensure that the installation and com-
missioning has been satisfactorily carried out before calling for any
warranty service.
❍ Please make sure that your customer is fully instructed on how to oper-
ate the heater.
