SEISMICRESTRAINT

NewZealandregulationsrequirethatfluedgasheatersbesecuredtopreventshiftingintheeventofan

earthquake.Thisisbestdonebyfasteningtheheatertothefloorrightthroughanyfloorprotectorthat

maybefitted.Fastenwithtwoscrewsnotlessthan12gaugeor theequivalentincoachscrewsor

togglefasteners.Anchortheappliancethroughtheholesintheseismicrestraintbracketorinthetwo

anglebracketssupplied.Theanglebracketsattachateachsideofthepedestal.Iftheseismicrestraint

bracketisusedinstead,itcanbefastenedtotherearofthepedestaleitherbeforeorafterfittingthe

anchorscrews.Thesmallcentrelineholeinthebracketwillhelpinpre-positioningit.

TESTFIRING

Itisabsolutelyessentialthattheinstallertestfirestheheaterbeforeleavingthesite.

Iffitted,openthegassupplyvalveattherearoftheheaterandcheckallgasjointsforleakageusing

aleakchecksolutionoranelectronic‘sniffer’,NOTanakedflame.

Carryoutthefollowingtestfiringprocedure.

LIGHTTHEPILOT:-

NOTE:Thepilotcanbeseenthroughtheholeintherighthandendofthefrontlog.

BostonandOdessamodels:-

•Pressdownonthecontrolknobatthetopoftheheaterandturnitslowlyanticlockwise.

Thepiezoigniterwillclickasasparkjumpsacrosstheterminalsatthepilotlight.Itmay

benecessarytorepeatthisseveraltimesbeforethepilotignitesifthereisairinthepilot

lightpipeline.

SantaFemodels:-

•Turnthecontrolknobanti-clockwisetothe‘PILOT’position.Holdthecontrolknobdown

while pressing the red button of the battery igniter (alongside the control knob). A

continuousspark should appearat thepilot light. It may be necessary to hold the red

buttondownforsometimeifthereisairinthepilotlightpipeline.NotethattheSantaFe

valveincorporatesasafetyfeaturewhichpreventsre-lightingthefirewithintwominutes

ofshuttingitdown.

ONCETHEPILOTISALIGHT:-

BostonandOdessamodels:-

•Keepholdingthecontrolknobdownfor15secondsafterignition.Releasethepressureon

thecontrolknob–thepilotshouldremainalightwhentheknobrises.
