Pull the bottom of the fascia forward and then lift to remove. Remove the window unit by detaching the 12 wing nuts securing the window frame and pulling forward (See figure 5). Figure 5. Window removal 7. PREPARING THE WALL 7.
INSTALLER GUIDE into plasterboard. Place dust sheets on the floor and over any furnishings etc. Place the template against the wall. Make sure that the centre of the flue hole is not less than the minimum shown in figure 6. Pierce the centre of the screw fixing holes and the flue hole and mark the positions on the wall. Remove the template. Cut the hole for the flue unit. Make sure that it is straight and level.
INSTALLER GUIDE 7.4 Leaving a Hole, Building under Construction It will be convenient to use a non-corrosive metal tube 160mm diameter built into the wall at the correct position for the flue unit. 7.5 Combustible Walls (Wood, Fibreboard, Plasterboard etc.) Building regulations require that the inlet and outlet ducts and terminal bust not be closer than 25mm to combustible material.
INSTALLER GUIDE Cover the hole with a square sheet steel plate 500mm x 235mm with a 152mm diameter hole cut out of the centre (See figure 9). The steel should be not less than 1.5mm thick. Fix with suitable screws and plugs. Where the whole wall is of combustible material, a non-corrosive plate 455mm x 455mm with a 152mm diameter hole in the centre must be fitted to the outer wall. The hole through the wall should be lined with a non-corrosive metal tube 202mm diameter.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8. PREPARING THE FLUE UNIT Measure the total wall thickness from the outside surface to the inside face. Add 80mm to this measurement to obtain the correct length of flue unit required. Mark off the flue length on the outer (air) tube measuring from the end of the terminal. Insert the polystyrene ring between the inner and outer tubes to support them and cut both tubes squarely at the marked distance. Important: Remove all polystyrene from the flue unit after cutting. Figure 10.
INSTALLER GUIDE Fit the flue unit tubes firmly over the spigots at the rear of the fire. Make sure that the seam on the flue tube is NOT at the bottom. Push on until the outer tube touches the screw heads on the outer spigot (See figure 12). If it is felt of benefit, the flue unit may be additionally secured to the fire with one or two suitable self tapping screws (we suggest No.
INSTALLER GUIDE 9. TERMINAL GUARD FITTING Place the guard centrally over the flue terminal with the fixing ears at each side not at the top and bottom (See figure 13). Holding the guard in position and using it as a template, mark on the wall the positions of the four fixing holes. Remove the guard. Drill and plug the holes Replace the guard fixing with suitable screws. Figure 13. Terminal guard. 10.
INSTALLER GUIDE 11. CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY Extend the gas supply pipe to a convenient point beneath the appliance and connect it to the inlet pipe at the right side of the fire using the Rp1/4 (1.4in. B.S.P) elbow provided. The supply pipe must be of rigid material (e.g. copper). Flexible connections must not be used. Provision for isolation of the gas supply upstream of the fire must be provided for safety and servicing.
INSTALLER GUIDE 12. FITTING THE CERAMIC COAL EFFECT 1. Place the fuel bed (embossed 'A' underneath) in position. The front edge of the fuel bed locates under the flange of the locating strip at the base of the firebox (See figure 15). 2. Place the front right coal (embossed 'B' underneath) in position. The flat bottom front face of the coal should rest on the metal ledge immediately behind the bottom front of the firebox opening. Slide the coal to the right side (See figure 16). Figure 15.
INSTALLER GUIDE 3. Place the front left coal (embossed 'C' underneath) in position at the side of the first coal. The flat bottom front face of the coal should rest on the metal ledge immediately behind the bottom front of the firebox opening (See figure 17). Close any gap between the two front coals by sliding them together to meet at the centre. 4. Place the rear right coal (embossed 'D' underneath) in position as shown in figure 18. Figure 17. Front left coal ‘C’ location. Figure 18.
INSTALLER GUIDE 5. Place the rear left coal (embossed 'E' underneath) in position as shown in figure 19. 6. Replace the window unit and tighten the 12 wing nuts. Figure 19. Rear left coal ‘E’ location. © Baxi Heating U.K. Limited 2010.
INSTALLER GUIDE 13. CHECK APPLIANCE OPERATION If closed, open the isolatng valve at the inlet elbow. Turn on the gas supply and check all joints up to the appliance gas tap for gas soundness using a soap solution or leak detection fluid. Depress the control knob. While keeping it depressed, slowly turn to IGN position. Turning the control should normally cause two consecutive sparks to occur between the pilot hood and the electrode pin which should ignite the pilot gas.
INSTALLER GUIDE 15. REPLACING THE FASCIA Before fitting the fascia ensure that the information on the back pages of the owner guide have been completed. Lower the fascia into position with its top rear rim behind the vertical flange at the top of the rear case and with the fascia bottom angled forward slightly. Then, ease the fascia bottom inward to engage the fixing studs through the holes in the rear case. Secure the fascia with the two knurled nuts and washers. 16.
INSTALLER GUIDE 17. SERVICING AND PARTS REPLACEMENT This product uses fuel effect pieces and gaskets containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.
