3.7 Preparing the Burner for First Light-up 
 

The  Catalytic  Combustor,  Stainless  Steel  Flame  Arrestor  Plate,  and  Masonry  bricks  are  packed  loose  and 
separately along with the main burner.  These items need to be installed carefully to make the burner ready 
for use. 
 

Glen  Dimplex  highly  recommends  NZHHA  trained  SFAIT  (Solid  Fuel  Appliance  Installation 
technician) installer for  installation of Waimakariri ULEB  and carrying  out the following initial set 
up.  

 

Step 1

 –  

- Install Bricks in the following configurations.   
- First, install two x 208 long cut bricks on the rear wall of the firebox by locking under the brick retainer. 
-  Then  install  one  x  250  long  full  brick  on  each  left  and  the  right  side  wall  of  the  firebox  on  its  side  edge.    Push 
these bricks towards the rear of the firebox.   
- Lastly, install one x 123 long cut brick each on the left and right side wall towards the front of the firebox.   

 

 

 

Step 2

 – 

- The baffle is already in place.  Check that the baffle is locked in place by trying to move it front to back, there is a 
location tab at the rear which locks it in place, and there should be no more than a couple of mm’s movement

.

  

Step 3

 –  

-  The  front  and  the  rear  air  tubes  are  already  in  place.    The  front  tube  needs  to  be  removed  to  fit  the  catalytic 
combustor in place. 
- Remove the R-clip of the front air tube.  
-  Slide  the  tube  towards  the  right  to  unhook  the  left  tab  from  the  pin.    Drop  and  slide  the  tube  on  the  left  side  to 
remove the tube from the firebox.  

Step 4

 –  

- Gently lift the damper handle to the “OPEN” position and leave in that position.
