ASSEMBLING YOUR NEW HEATER
There are a number of heaters in the Kent range. The heaters are mounted on columns, which require some
assembly. All heaters will require
firebrick and baffle plate assembly.
Convection models are supplied with fans, which will need to be assembled.
Column Assembly
There are a few different column styles. Some do
not require screws: you assemble the column by
inserting the tags located at either end of the front
and rear panels. Push the front and rear panels
down to lock tags into position. The column can
be further secured if you wish by fitting self
tapping screws into the holes provided between
the tags (screws not provided).
Other side panels have nuts and screws
provided for you to screw the panels together.
If your heater comes with a fan, the side panels
will have two holes at the top for securing the fan.
These must face the rear of the firebox.
Next, fit the aluminium heatshield to the top of the
column, ensuring the
shield locates in the
slots at the top of the
column.
You must now attach
the firebox. Lay the
firebox on its back.
Locate the column
onto the four locating
points on the base of
the heater. Ensure the
side of the column with a 45 mm gap on the
bottom edge goes at the rear of the heater.
Secure the column to the base of the heater with
the four self tapping screws provided.
Now stand the heater and column assembly up
and place into the base.
(For Jindabyne only) Fit the top deflector and
rear heatshield to the rear of the firebox by
pushing the long screws through the holes on the
back firebox panel. Fit
the top deflector first,
then the spacers, rear
heatshield and finally the
n u t s .
Secure
tightly.
Deflector & Heat Shield
Fan Assembly
Fix the fan to the
column using the
f o u r l o c a t i n g
screws provided.
The earth wires on
the fan will need to
be fixed to the
column. Refer to
detail view below.
The fan can be removed
f o r c l e a n i n g b y
unscrewing the locating
screws. Remember to
disconnect the power
supply before touching
the fan.
Firebricks (Standard Firebox)
Standard sized fireboxes use 7 firebricks and a
ceramic base liner in the arrangement shown
below.
Place the base liner down so that it is flush
against the front of the firebox. Place two
firebricks on each side laying down. Place
three firebricks at the back standing upright.
Now place the brick retainer along the back
firebricks so that the lip hangs over the front of
the bricks.
If necessary, push the side bricks towards the
back of the heater so they sit against the brick
retainer. This arrangement prevents the back
bricks from falling forward.
