INSTALLATION
Fitting Cast front panel (8901 / 8902 / 8903)
Safety
As with all fireplaces the surfaces will become very hot when
in use, therefore due care should be taken when near the
fireplace. If it is to be used in the presence of young children,
elderly or infirm persons a suitable fireguard should be used.
Care should also be taken with the placement of combustible
items near the fireplace as conducted and radiated heat could
cause a fire hazard.
Ensure that the floor of the fireplace opening is level with
the projecting hearth surface. If a cement infill is required to
achieve this, do not proceed with the installation until the
cement is completely dry.
Cover the surface of the hearth to protect it from damage
during installation of the cast panel.
Stovax offer a wide range of firescreens and sparkguards, along
with a hearthgate system designed to offer full protection for a
range of stoves and fireplaces. Your Stovax dealer can advise
you on these products.
Protect the surfaces of the surround (mantelpiece) from damage
when trial fitting of the panel.
Position the front panel centrally in the fireplace opening
against the wall. Place the surround (mantelpiece) in position
and, holding it firmly against the wall, pull the front panel
forward until it touches the rear of the surround. The panel is
now in the correct position and should be fixed. The surround
can be removed while this is completed.
If a chimney fire occurs evacuate all persons from the building
before calling the fire brigade. Do not re-enter the building
until it is confirmed safe to do so.
Following a chimney fire do not use the fireplace until it is
inspected, by a HETAS (GB only) registered installer, to confirm
that the appliance is safe to use, or make any repairs required
before re-use. Only genuine Stovax replacement parts are to be
used to keep your fireplace in safe and efficient working order.
After any chimney fire it is recommended that the chimney
system be inspected and swept by a NACS registered (UK only)
chimney sweep, to confirm that the system is structurally sound
and free from any obstructions before re-use.
There are a number of ways of fixing the front panel, but a
typical method is:-
Drill through the 4 corners of the main panel in a position that
will be covered when the surround is in position. Drill holes in
the wall in corresponding position, and secure the front panel
with 75mm (3”) screws and non-plastic wall plugs. Fill any
gaps between the wall and the panel with a non-combustible
material, such as fibreglass rope seal or Stovax fire cement, to
form airtight seal.
MAINTENANCE
Never use strong Portland cement mortar in chimneys and
fireplaces. A lime based mortar will allow expansion and
movement and reduce the risk of cracking.
For fully polished fireplaces Stovax Steel Cleaner (Part No.
2037) is recommended to keep them clean and rust free. If
a fire is not to be lit for an extended period, it is advisable
to coat with a light oil to prevent moisture in the air causing
surface rust and pitting of the cast iron. This is important when
plastering or other decorating work is being done.
Wait until any cement or seals are dry before fitting a wooden
surround. If the surround is wood, fix Stovax flat rope seal (Part
No. 4953) to all surfaces that touch the cast iron panel. Place it
into position ensuring that it is central, and secure it to the wall
using flat brass brackets (mirror plates).
