UNPACKING

Note: It is recommended that all preparatory work be done before unpacking the

heater, to avoid risk of damage to the cabinet.

With the carton upside-down fold back all four flaps. Stand upright, and carefully lift

the carton off the heater.

WALL MOUNTING

Your Slimline may be mounted directly onto Carpet or other Floor Covering. The Plinth

must be attached for this type of installation. Do not cut carpet around the heater.

NOTE: Some carpets may discolour due to exposure to heat or.light (photosynthesis).

If in doubt, install your heater on a tile hearth or similar.

The Heater may be mounted directly on a wall made of combustible material, without
any need for a fireproof backing sheet. This should be done by using the mounting holes
provided on each side of the rear panel.

For interior walls, an approved type of ‘in partition’ flue is required and for exterior
walls, either an ‘in partition’ flue or a thorough wall flue may be used.

The flue requires a 1OOmm diameter nominal round spigot entry for the appliance.
Combustible wall material must be a minimum of 25mm clear of the spigot on all sides.

Your Slimline may be wall-mounted without the Plinth providing minimum clearance of
50mm is allowed between the Heater and the Floor.

HEARTH MOUNTING

Existing Chimney

If the chimney has been previously used for burning solid fuel, it is essential that it is
swept, and is not restricted in any way.

The flue should be inspected to ensure that it is not cracked nor blocked by rubble or
paper, etc., and restrictions such as dampers have been removed or secured in the fully
open position.

The flue must have a positive updraught and service only one room.

Flues must meet the requirements of NZS 5281.

Hearth Fixing

The fire is suitable for mounting on the hearth of a conventional open fire, the
fireplace opening being sealed with a closure plate. The closure plate should be as
airtight as possible, to avoid loss of warmed room air into the chimney.

When the fireplace has an ash pit, it is essential that the cover is fitted to the ash
clean out opening to ensure satisfactory chimney draught.

The heater must be securely anchored in position. This may be done by screwing to
the closure plate through the fixing holes provided.

When Hearth- fixing, Your Slimline may be installed without the Plinth.
