The motor and thermostatic switch should be checked when
they are installed and wired up to ensure correct operation
of the motor. To check the operation use a hairdryer (or
similar heat device) to direct hot air at the temperature
sensor. The motor should switch on when the temperature
sensor reaches a temperature 50/60°C. Do not use naked
flames (matches, lighter, etc) to check the sensor
operation as these can damage irreparably the
motor, wires or sensor.
The time taken for the motor to switch on will vary for each burn cycle
depending on type and amount of fuel used (see paragraph “5.2 choice
of fuel”). If the motor fails to switch on during normal burning it may
be indicative of some other problem with the combustion process (e.g.
poor flue draught or air convection or insufficient combustion air, etc).
KIT ASSEMBLY:
Open the door and unscrew the fixing screws C to remove the
protective motor cover B (fig. 2). Carefully place the motor ventilation
kit inside the stove chassis taking care that the motor or temperature
sensor contacts to not get damaged or come into contact with stove
body. Use fixing screws provided to secure the kit to the chassis at
fixing points D. Feed the motor cable through the rubber grommet on
the side of the stove until it meets the stop on the cable (fig. 3).
Reasssemble the motor cover using fixing screws C.
4.4. GENERAL ASSEMBLY RULES
The stove insert can be installed either in an existing suitable firebox
cavity (of solid wall construction) or installed within a purpose-made
structure.
If the fireplace stove is positioned in an existing firebox cavity, check
that the dimensions of the firebox are compatible for insertion.
Always leave a minimum 10 mm airspace between the stove
and any adjoining walls of solid wall construction (i.e. made of
solid block, masonry, brick or concrete). This is required to allow
the stove body to expand/contract during use.
For purpose built structures, please comply with the following
minimum safe distances from combustible materials (as shown
in Fig 4).
• 50 mm air + 50 mm insulation from the side, the back
and the top.
• Non Combustible surface on the bottom.
If the stove is positioned over a floor or close to
walls made of flammable materials, it is advisable to
use sufficient insulation.
The stove can be installed at a desired height above the ground
provided there is suitable support structure in place. In all instances the
stove should be positioned on a non-combustible surface that conforms
to Building Regulations. Allow a hearth of 300mm to the front at floor
level in case of spills when re-fuelling or de-ashing.
