COMPONENTS

Your Nectre N60 will arrive mainly fully assembled. The 8mm thick top plate and the pedestal glass insert will be packed in a cardboard box at the rear of the heater.
Inside the firebox are the following components:

• Firebricks – 4 bricks @ 270(h) x 175(w) x 25(d)mm& 2 bricks @ 270(h) x 85(w) x 25(d)mm
• Firebrick retainer
• Two 6mm thick steel baffle plates
• Ash pan
• Air slide handle
• Door handle extension
• Assorted bolts and spacers:
  • 2 screws @ M6 x 6mm
  • 2 washers @ M6
  • 4 firebox top spacers – 20.5mm x 19mm diameter tube
  • 4mm & 8mm Allen keys

IMORTANT NOTE: The compliance plate on the rear of the heater is wrapped in plastic so as not to scratch the heater when in transit. Remove this plastic cover to avoid melting it when fire is lit.

ASSEMBLING THE HEATER

Assembling the Main Body
a. Lay the firebox body down on its “back”. Use a towel, rug, or the cardboard box it came in toavoid scratching the heater or the floor.
b. Unscrew the four screws fixing firebox body to the pallet using a 5/16 hex socket and ratchet.
c. Remove the square base cabinet from the box and position it so that the side with the four holes is adjacent to the base of the firebox body and the curved edge is at the top.
d. Pass the M12 x 60mm screws from theinside through the four holes in the basecabinet.
e. Slide a firebox bottom spacer (46mm x19mm diameter) over each of the M12 screws.
f. Thread the four M12 screws into the threaded holes in the base of the firebox.
g. Before completely tightening the screws withthe 8mm allen key, push the tube spacers out to the sides of the heater as far as possible and then tighten the screw. (The reason for this is so that the ash pan can slide more freely between the spacers.)
h. With the base cabinet securely fastened to the firebox body, tilt the heater upright, and positionit where it will be installed with the flue (Section 4. Installing theHeater).
i. Place a firebox top spacer (20.5mm x 19mm diameter) over each of the vertical 12mmdiameter rods on top of the firebox body.

Positioning the Top Plate
Remove the 8mm thick top plate from the box and place on top of the heater locating the hole in the plate over the flue spigot. Adjust the position of the top plate so that there is an even space between the top plate and the fluespigot.

Positioning the Ash pan
The ash pan can now be slid in to the gap created by the 46mm spacers between the firebox body and the base cabinet. This should slide all the way back, enough so that the door can then be closed.

INSTALLING THE HEATER

Positioning the Heater

First review the necessary clearances specified before considering where to position the heater.

Also check the practicability of installing the flue systemin relation to any obstructing roof beams before positioning the heater.

These clearance distances can only be reduced if the surrounding walls are made of non-combustible material, eg. Stone, brick, or concrete. If non- combustible material, distance can be reduced to 100 mm. Alternatively,shielding of the wall(s) can reduce clearances (refer to next section for more detail).

Depending on the type of flue shielding used, the clearances to combustible surfaces varies.

Floor Protector(Hearth)
Unless the heater will be standing on a heat resistant floor such as concrete slab with slate or tiles, it will be necessary to provide a floor protector(hearth).
The dimensions given in Section 4.1 are the minimum required for the floor protector. It must extend no less than 300 mm in front of the door opening (250mm from the curved front edge of the heater), no less than 200mmeither side of the door opening, and extend under the heater.

The floor protector must be constructed from noncombustible material such as cement sheet or equivalent with a thermal conductivity not greater than 0.33W/m ºK, the thickness of the floor protector must be no less than 7.5mm with minimum dimensions of 720mm wide x 740mm deep (extending from the rear of the heaterto 250mm in front).

For more details and variations on floor protectors refer to AS/NZS 2918:2018 Clause 2.2, 3.3.1, &3.3.2.

Reducing Clearances to Combustible Walls

If it is necessary to install a heater closer to a combustible surface than the stated requirements in Section 4 of this Installation Guide, it must be done in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2918:2018 Section 3, Tables3.1
& 3.2.
Shield Construction:- The shield shall be constructed from heat resistant material. The shield must be fixed to the surface that requires protection and NOT the heater.
The Standard allows three options to reduce stated clearances.
Single layer of continuous material with Minimum Air Gap of 12mm—Clearance Factor = 0.40
Single layer of continuous material with Minimum Air Gap of 25mm—Clearance Factor = 0.30
Two spaced layers of continuous material with Minimum Air Gaps of 12mm + 12mm—Clearance Factor = 0.20

The shielding must be open at the top and bottom(vented) to allow a continuous air flow. It is this air flow that keeps the surface requiring protection cool. Fixings should not impede this air flow.

The shielding needs to go far enough along and up the wall so that the original side and rear required clearances aren’t compromised. As the flue is now closer to the wall the shielding should also protect the wall from the fluepipe.

For example:
Side wall clearance for the N60 Naked is 450mm.

A 12mm gapped shield on the wall with a factor of0.40.

Calculate:- 450 mm x 0.40 = 180 mm. This is the newside wall minimum clearance.

The shielding needs to be large enough so that none of the original clearances of 450 mm are compromised.

INSTALLING THE FLUE

The flue system used when installing the heater MUST comply with the current installation standard AS/NZS2918.
Full instructions on the installation of the flue will be supplied with the flue kit. These MUST be followed closely, including the minimum exit height from the top of the floor protector being not less than 4.6m, and the minimum exit height above the roof line of roof ridge as detailed in theinstructions.
The flue must be fitted with one of the following flue shielding options:

• Rear Flue Shield – 900mm long, minimum 160° arc, stainless steel unpainted rear flue shield with 25mm gap between it and the 150mm diameter active flue, OR
• Solid non-perforated flue shield casing with inner rear shield, OR
• Decromesh flue shield casing with inner rear shield

The solid or decromesh flue shield casing must be not less than 7.75” diameter, extending from the top of the flue spigot of the appliance through into the drop box penetrating the ceiling. The first length of casing must have an inner shield extending the full length and positioned so that the inner shield is between the active flue and the rear wall.

If the draft is insufficient or periodic down drafting occurs and the heater smokes or only burns slowly, extending the flue or fitting a specialised cowl will usually resolve the issue.

INSTALLING BAFFLE PLATES

The N60 is supplied with two baffle plates:-

1. Upper baffle plate – 300(w) x 200(d) x 6(h)mm.

   • Fit the upper baffle plate first.
     Hold the baffle plate vertically at the rear of the firebox. Raise it up and over the upper front support lugs.

   • Slide it forward enough to clear the upper rear support lug, then slide it back so that the rear ofthe baffle plate is flush with the rear of the firebox.

   • Check that it is centralised, i.e. same size gap between baffle plate and sides of firebox.

2. Lower baffle plate – 360(w) x 260(d) x 6(h)mm

   • Hold the baffle plate vertically at the rear of the firebox with the slotted end at the bottom.
   • Raise it up and over the lower front support lugs.
   • Bring the front edge of the baffle plate as highland as far forward as possible, enough for the bottom rear edge to clear the lower rear support lugs.
   • With baffle plate now resting on all four lower support lugs and pushed all the way back, the slots in the rear of the baffle plate should now line up with the air holes at the rear of the firebox.

Note: Bricks in the image below are to show perspective,the baffle plates need to be installed before the bricks goin.

INSTALLING FIRE BRICKS

The N60 comes with 4 full size bricks (285(h) x 175(w) x 25(d)mm) and 2 half size bricks (285(h) x 85(w) x25(d)mm).

Raise the brick retainer (supplied inside the firebox) andstart standing the bricks up against the rear and sides of the firebox as shown in the followingdiagram.

Once bricks are in, fit the retainer over the top to holdthem in place.

FIT AIR SLIDE HANDLE

The Air Slide handle used for controlling the amount off-air supplied to the fire needs to befitted.

Open the door of the appliance, and position the handle with the two holes in the handle located over the threaded holes in the air slide. Place a washer over each of the M6 x 6mm screws, insert the screw through the handle and screw into the air slide. Tighten with the 4mm allen key supplied.

If N60 Naked model, fasten the handle to the air slide using the left and centres holes.

If N60 Curved or Tiled Side models, fasten the handle to the air slide using the right and centrioles.

FITTING CURVED SIDES

1. Position the curved side panel parallel to the corresponding left or right side of the heater.
2. Hook the front edge of the side panel over the front edge of the heater.
3. While maintaining pressure against the front edge of the panel, bring the rear edge of the panel around so that it overlaps the rear edge of the heater.
4. Push the rear edge of the side panel in enough that the three pre-drilled screw holes go past the 6mm thickside panel of the heater.
5. Screw three screws (supplied with side panels) in to the pre-drilled holes along the rear edge of the side panelso that the side panel cannot come away from the heater.
