IMPORTANT
After installing gas coal/log set the following commissioning procedure must take place
before leaving premises.
COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
Once the fire is installed and operational, the installer must check for spillage. Carry out the lighting
procedure and turn the fire to high. Allow to warm up for 10 minutes and then using a smoke match,
set 25mm down and 25mm inside of the fire opening, run the match across the width of the opening
to check that all of the smoke is drawn away.
Repeat the test with doors and windows to the premises open and closed, and with any extractor
fans in the same room or adjacent rooms running on high. The fire should continue to clear its
combustion products. Also operate any other flued appliances in the same or neighbouring rooms
and ensure they continue to function satisfactorily as multiple flues can work against one another.
If spillage is detected during this procedure it could indicate a faulty flue or lack or ventilation. If the
problem cannot be rectified immediately, disconnect the appliance, and advise the customer not to
use the appliance until the problem has been resolved.
The customer should always be advised of the need for regular servicing and checks to ensure the
continued clearance of combustion waste products.
NOTE: A slight smell may be apparent for first few hours of use. This is due to the heat resistant
paint curing. It is recommended to open windows in room for the first lighting.
Check that the fireplace and chimney are in working order, sound condition and clean and
free from obstructions. Any cracks or gaps found in the masonary of the fireplace, must be
sealed prior to the installation of the Hot Box.
Measure the fireplace opening to ensure that the Hot Box will fit into the opening.
If fitting the Hot Box into an existing fireplace, using the existing cast iron insert, you will need
to remove the back from the cast iron insert. This will require the mantelpiece and insert to be
removed from the fireplace prior to installing the Hot Box.
Install Hot Box by placing it centrally in the fireplace opening and fit cast iron fascia up to the
Hot Box, ensuring that the fascia is firmly touching against the brickwork of the fireplace and
the Hot Box. Remove fascia and permanently fix the Hot Box to hearth using the location lugs.
Before sealing the cast iron fascia to the brickwork have your gas fitter supply a 15mm copper
pipe into the fireplace and Hot Box through the hole provided for connection to the Magiglo
burner.
Once the gas supply has been installed into the Hot Box fit and seal the cast iron fascia to the
brick work and install your desired mantel piece to complete your fireplace.
Have your gas fitter refer to the Magiglo Series Installation Instructions for connection and set
up of the Magiglo 360 Series Gas Coal Set.
A 225mm approved gas cowl is required to be fitted to the top of chimney to stop down draft
and rain entering into chimney.
Ventilation of 40,000 sq mm must be provided to outside air for the room that the Hot Box is
installed. Four standard vents is normally enough. Check that they are clear of blockages.
