Installation Of The Appliance - DGF Fabrications N1 Installation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

Having ensured that the appliance application is correct and the requirements of the flue specification,
ventilation demands and the gas supply are correct, proceed with the installation and assembly as follows:-
1. In common with other gas appliances, dirt and debris in the gas system can block the valve and gas
injectors on this appliance, and faults caused by this are not covered by guarantee. If you suspect that
there is dirt and debris in the gas distribution system, fit a filter in the pipeline, before the gas valve.
2. Do not use jointing compound on any compression fittings on the burner or the control valve. The use
of jointing compound on the compression fittings on this appliance will possibly invalidate the guarantee,
as it can get into the control valve mechanism and cause it to malfunction.
3. ensure that there is an isolating valve in the gas supply line near the appliance
4. Connect the gas supply pipe from the isolating valve to the gas inlet coupling fixed to the burner valve.
Make sure the supply pipe does not obstruct access to the controls.
5. Where there are fixing holes for the burner we recommend a secure fixing be made to the hearth or
fire basket.
6. Check that all the gas connections are correct. The appliance has been factory tested and pre-set.
7. where cast iron insets or sunken burners insets it is most important that they are properly back filled to
avoid the possibility of a negative pressure being obtained underneath the fire resulting in flames being
drawn down to the under sides of the burner. This is dangerous and can cause problems, ie.
Overheating of the controls and spoiling the flame pattern.
8. Open fires are a hazard; it is recommended that a guard be fitted to provide protection for children, the
elderly, the infirm or pets. (See National Regulations, if any).
9. Do not adjust or put out of action the spillage monitoring system (oxypilot), or change any of its part.
10. Use only original manufacturer's parts if any replacements are needed.
11. if there is any concern about a pressure zone causing downdraught in certain wind conditions a suitable
chimney cowl should be fitted.
Much of the fires appearance is achieved by the placement of the simulated coal, pebbles logs or driftwood.
Please follow the following rules to achieve the best effect:
Shake the vermiculite out of the bag gently into the burner tray. Do not use the dust from the bottom
•
of the bag. Fill all the tray to the top of the burner. Level the granules evenly across the burner tray.
Ensure the pilot assembly is cleared of vermiculite granules.
Place Aeration guards supplied directly on top of the Vermiculite over the circular air vents.
