GENERAL
z
The heater must be installed in accordance with these instructions, local gas fitting
regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring regulations, Australian Standard
AS5601 'Gas Installations', and any other relevant statutory requirements. Failure to comply
with these requirements may void the warranty.
z
A data plate fixed to the heater details both the model number and gas type.
HEATER PREPARATION
z
Check markings on carton to confirm that heater supplied is as required.
z
With the unit laying on its back remove the top carton and liner.
z
Remove the protective plastic film and discard.
z
Remove the front cover by removing the 2 cover retaining screws above the top louvre inside
the air outlet, and the 2 cover transit screws from the back of the cover top panel.
z
If the heater is to be installed as a console fit the console side panels to the front cover at
this point - instructions are included in the 'Console & flue cover kit'.
z
If a rear register is to be installed with the heater, fit the required components to the back of
the heater at this point - instructions are included in the 'Rear register kit'.
HEATER LOCATION
When selecting a location for the wall furnace, the following points must be considered:
z
Avoid corners, as this can lead to poor heated air distribution.
z
Locate wall studs - for an inbuilt installation the stud spacing (measured from inside to
inside) must be 405 and 430mm - a false stud must be fitted if the spacing is greater than
430mm - an alternative location must be selected if the spacing is less than 405mm.
z
Ensure that roof timbers will not obstruct the flue and that clearances of 10mm from twin wall
metal flue and 25mm from single wall metal flue can be maintained form combustible
materials.
z
Ensure that concealed piping or wiring within the wall cavity will not obstruct the installation.
z
If a rear register is to be fitted, select a location to ensure that wall studs do not obstruct the
rear register.
z
Do not obstruct the air outlet, or the rear register, with furniture as this can lead to poor
heated air distribution.
z
Do not face the heater across a room - along the room is better.
z
Maintain a clearance of at least 300mm from both sides of the heater, at least 400mm
above the heater, and 100-200mm from the floor.
GAS SUPPLY
z
The gas connection point is on the
lower right hand side of the heater.
z
The gas supply pipe should be
terminated to suit a 1/2" male
compression fitting.
z
Gas supply piping should be sized in
accordance with pipe sizing
guidelines given in AS5601 'Gas
Installations'.
z
The gas supply can be routed from
below, above or behind the heater.

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
z
The electricity supply must be a 240Vac 50Hz earthed power outlet with switch. It must be
located within 900mm from the left of the heater or within 400mm from the right of the heater.
FLUE SYSTEM
z
The flue system must be installed in accordance with AS5601 'Gas Installations' and local
building regulations. The flue must be an approved twin wall metal flue within a wall cavity.
Single wall metal flue may be used within a ceiling space provided AS5601-specified
clearances from combustible materials are maintained and access is possible for inspection
and servicing.
z
The Braemar flue kit (P/No 077956) is recommended for installation of this heater.
z
If the heater is replacing an existing unit it must be confirmed that the flue system complies
with current requirements of AS5601.
z
The flue must be terminated outside - it must not be terminated in a roof space.
