Sealing The Back Of The Signature 5 Stove - Aarrow Signature Inset 5 Operating & Installation Manual

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
During installation it is advisable to remove the
Stove Door. The stove may become front heavy
should the door be opened during positioning, prior
to the stove being secured in place with the
provided masonry bolts, ( See page 14 ). If the
stove is left unsupported and the door is fully open
it may tip forward causing damage to the stove
door or stove body or to the surrounding hearth /
brickwork etc.
FOR ALL APPLIANCES
Access for cleaning the flue should be
incorporated in the system other than through the
appliance (eg: a soot door or access through
register plate). Purpose made soot doors and
inspection lengths are available from manufactures
of all systems. Ensure that the whole length of the
flue can be reached from the soot door.
Note: If the appliance is fitted with a draught
stabiliser or if one is fitted to the flue pipe or
chimney in the same room as the appliance,
then the permanent air entry opening (or
Openings) should be increased by 300mm2
for each KW of rated output.

Rope Seal Fitted
Sealing the back of the stove to the
decorative fire surround
In order for the stove to operate at maximum efficiency
it is necessary to achieve a good seal between the
back face of the stove convector section, and the deco-
rative hearth surround (See Fig 1 on page 10)
The Signature 5 inset stove is supplied with a pre-cut
length of 7mm dia. heat resistant rope (1.85metres)
with a self adhesive edge to achieve this.
Alternative methods may also be employed to seal the
stove if more appropriate in a particular installation. IE
fire cement, high temp silicon sealant etc..
To apply the rope seal, peel back a short section of the
adhesive protection paper (about 150mm) at a time
and apply the rope to the back face of the stove con-
vector section as shown below. Apply the rope tight
into the angle created where the side overhangs the
back section by approximately 3mm.
Fit the rope all the way round and carefully bend it
round the left and right, top & bottom corners without
stretching the rope.
The rope will easily form a right angle to do this without
cutting.
The rope will compress forming a good seal when the
stove is pulled back into the chair brick by the mounting
bolts.
