ASSEMBLING THE STOVE
Your new Hi-Flame stove is extremely heavy.
Always handle it with care and make sure that
you have additional strong help when you
move it. The door and door handle, should
not be used to grip the stove as they could be
damaged from supporting the stove’s weight.
If necessary, the fuel retaining bar can be
removed to help reduce the weight. Under no
circumstances should the door be removed as
this will invalidate your Hi-Flame Warranty.
Unpack
Remove your new stove from its recyclable
packaging. Retain this until the stove is
installed and is fully operational. Unfasten
retaining wires and remove any components
from inside the stove.
Inspect
Please inspect the stove to check that it has
not been damaged in transit – never attempt
to install a stove which has been damaged.
If damage is suspected then report this
immediately to your stove dealer.
Check
Study the component packing list above and
12
make sure that you have all the components
listed before proceeding. Some components
may be contained inside the firechamber.
Baffle Plates
There are two baffle plates inside the roof
of the firechamber. The lower baffle plate is
made of vermiculite and the upper baffle plate
is made from plate steel. Check the position of
both baffle plates to ensure that it they have
not moved when the stove was transported.
Essentially they should be securely positioned
parallel to each other. For more detailed
information about fitting and removing the
baffle plates see page 32. It is best to fully
familiarise yourself with the correct location of
the baffles by practising removing and re-fitting
them prior to the stove’s installation as you will
need to regularly check this area and access
the flueway to avoid potential soot build up
and blockages.
Flue Outlet
This stove is already configured for the pre-
ferred top flue outlet.
Your stove is now ready for installation.
Locating the stove
Do not drag the stove. Always lift the stove
to finally position it and use strong help.
Alternatively it may be possible to place the
stove on heavy duty plastic sheeting or thick
floor covering to slide the stove into position,
being careful not to damage any finished
hearth or floor surfaces with trapped grit
or debris.
