A . Design, Installation & Location Considerations
WARNING! Risk of Fire Damagedpartscouldimpairsafe
operation.DoNOTinstalldamaged,incompleteorsubstitute
components.
NOTICE: Checkbuildingcodespriortoinstallation.
• Installation MUST comply with all local building codes
andregulationsincludingthosereferringtonationaland
Europeanstandards.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
ofcialsorauthoritieshavingjurisdictionoverrestrictions,
installationinspectionandpermits.
Itisagoodideatoplanyourinstallationonpaper,usingexact
measurements for clearances and oor protection, before
actuallybeginningtheinstallation.Locationoftheappliance
andchimneywillaffectperformance.
Considerationmustbegivento:
• Safety,convenience,trafcow
• Placementofthechimneyandchimneyconnectorandto
minimizetheuseofchimneyoffsets.
• Placetheappliancewheretherewillbeaclearpassage
foraListedchimneythroughtheceilingandroof(verti-
cal)orthroughexteriorwall(horizontal).
• Installingtherequiredoutsideairkitwillaffecttheloca-
tionoftheventtermination.
Sincepelletexhaustcancontainash,sootor sparks, you
mustconsiderthelocationof:
• Windows
• AirIntakes
• AirConditioner
• Overhang,softs,porchroofs,adjacentwalls
• Landscaping,vegetation
• Horizontalorverticalventtermination
Whenlocatingventandventingtermination,theideallo-
cationistoventaboverooflinewhenpossible.Thismini-
mizestheaffectsofwindloading.
Notice:ThismanualisbasedonNorthAmericaninstallationrequirementsandsomeaspectsmaynotbedirectlyapplicable
toNewZealandinstallations.PleasecontactSwitch(0800765431)formoreinformation.
Draftisthepressuredifferenceneededtoexhaust
appliancessuccessfully.Whenanapplianceisdrafting
successfully,allcombustionby-productsareexitingthe
homethroughtheue.
Considerationsforsuccessfuldraftinclude:
• Preventingnegativepressure
• Locationofapplianceandchimney
Tomeasurethedraftornegativepressureonyour
applianceuseamagnahelicoradigitalpressuregauge
capableofreading0-.25inchesofwatercolumn(W.C.).
Theapplianceshouldberunningonhighforatleast15
minutesforthetest.
Withthestoverunningonhighyoushouldhaveanegative
pressureequaltothenumbergiveninthechartbelow.This
canbeadjustedupordownbyalteringthecombustionfan
speedadjustmentonthecontrolbox(see”Commissioning”
onpage31).Ifafteradjustingthefanspeedyouhavea
lowerreadingthanyoundonthechart,yourstovedoes
nothaveadequatedrafttoburnthefuelproperly.
