Remove the door and lay it down on some bubble
pack.
Support it around its periphery.
Undo the 4 screws and clamping plates then lift the
glass out.
Remove the sealing rope under the glass and
replace it with new rope.
Make sure that the rope forms a good airtight seal,
make sure that the ends of the rope but up
together.
Place the glass into the door socket and onto the
new rope.
Put the screws through the stainless clamping
plates and make sure that the small gaskets are
sandwiched in between the glass and the stainless
clamping plates.
Do not over tighten the screws.
The door is now ready to be re fitted.
8. WATER HEATING.
1. Frost protection.
Make sure that the water in your heating system
circuitry has a suitable anti freeze added, your
builder or installer will advise you on this.
The Corner Bubble stove can be supplied with a
fully integrated boiler.
In most other types of stoves the boiler is a
secondary consideration and supplied as an
additional item to be fitted inside the stove.
This is not the case with the corner bubble stove;
the boiler forms the whole upper outer part of the
stove.
This has several advantages over bolt in boilers-:
•
It does not reduce the inner volume of the
firebox.
•
It reduces the amount of radiated heat to
the surrounding fireplace as the whole of
the back panel of the combustion chamber
is water cooled, this reduces the risk of
heat damage and helps make the stove much
safer.
•
It has the largest water heating capacity of
any small stove.
•
The output of the stove is perfectly
balanced between heat to space and heat to
water.
If you have a water heating stove there are certain
extra items you will have to take care of.
You must know which type of plumbing system is
installed on your boat, as there are two distinct
types, which are
2. Gravity or Fully Pumped Systems
In each case learn how the plumbing is laid out and
where the feed and expansion tank is situated.
In each case go through the checking procedure
detailed below, before lighting the stove.
The feed and expansion tank on land based systems
is automatically topped up should any overheating
or evaporation occur, generally on boats this is not
the case and topping up has to be done by hand,
because of this it is important to carry out regular
checks on the water level in the feed and expansion
tank and you installer or builder should instruct you
on this procedure.
3. Gravity Systems.
If the plumbing system has been designed as a
gravity system you should be able to run the stove
without a water-circulating pump.
Before you light the stove go through this checking
procedure.
•
The feed and expansion tank is topped up
to the specific level.
The system installer must advise you how to do
this.
•
The system is free from entrapped air.
The installer will tell you where the air vents are
located but remember if you bleed air off top up
the feed and expansion again.
•
Check that the chimney is free from
obstruction and the long extension is
fitted.
•
Check that the inners of the stove are
correctly fitted in place.
(Baffle, grate assembly and firebricks.)
Check that there are no closed valves likely to
stop the flow of water around the heating
circuit.
