Assembly Of The Unit; Operating Your Stove - ACR Heat Products Oakdale FB1MF Tehnical Manual

Assembly of the unit

This appliance is equipped with a pre-fitted manufacturers smoke
exempt stop. Under no circumstances should it be tampered with or
removed unless expressly authorized by a competent person and the
appliance is not installed in a smoke exempt area.
If the appliance is to be installed in a non smoke exempt area you can
remove the restricting screw on the secondary air control (indicated by
the two holes) to allow full movement of the secondary air slider.
The appliance is supplied pre-assembled with the flue spigot in the top exit
position.
If you intend to install the appliance using a rear flue connection, the blanking
plate should be swapped over as follows:
• Remove the internal baffle plate
• Remove the rear metal plate from the
back of the stove
• Remove the rear blanking plate
• Remove the flue spigot from the top
exit by removing the securing bolts
and rope seal
• Refit the rope seal and flue spigot to
the rear exit and secure with the bolts
• Refit the blanking plate to the top exit
using the rope seal and retaining bar

Operating your stove

Please note that during the first firing,
we recommend a small fire is lit and
that you slowly increase the
temperature to enable the various
parts to expand normally.
You may also experience fumes and a
haze being given off by the stove during
the first firing and possibly for the next
couple of firings as the paint cures. This
is normal but please ensure that the
room is well ventilated during this
period.
The appliance should not be operated in
mild weather with smokeless fuel. Under
certain weather circumstances e.g. fog
the chimney will not draw sufficiently
and could cause asphyxiation. Either
await better weather conditions or burn
wood only.
In the rare event of a malfunction due to
overheating or a chimney fire, the air
slides should be shut down completely
and the fuel allowed to burn out. In the
event of a chimney fire, once the air
slides have been closed completely, dial
999 for assistance. If the appliance has
overheated, the appliance and flue will
need to be inspected for any damage
before it can be operated again.
Always check with your dealer or directly with the manufacturer as
using the incorrect fuel may invalidate your guarantee and damage
your appliance.
