For reasons of quality control, some of our appliances are delivered assembled, however some parts may need to be installed on site.
-
EXPOSURE TO ELEMENTS
FM Calefaccion barbeques are exclusively designed as a covered outdoor barbeque, oven and fireplace appliances, should any part of the appliance be in contact with the outside elements including rain, snow, direct sunlight, excessive winds, etc; the damage sustained thereon will not be covered under the manufacturer or distributor warranty. Please consider prior to installing your fireplace exposed to outside elements. -
ACCEPTABLE VARIANCE ALLOWANCE
Due to the production of these manufactured appliances, there is an acceptable allowance of 1-5mm variance on any part of the unit. This variance in production is non-claimable under any warranties. -
HEAT RESISTANT MATERIALS
Heat resistant materials must meet AS/NZS 2918:2018 clause 1.4.27 a material with an allowable service temperature of 600° Celsius or greater. Gyprock Fyrecheck is NOT a recommended heat resistant material. It is strictly forbidden to use any combustible materials (ie: wooden framing, plaster, etc) near or around this appliance. Any exception from this rule is a health and safety hazard which will result in a non- compliant installation and a void of warranties. Electrical cables and components must not be placed in the vicinity of the appliance, as it is a fire hazard. -
IMPORTANT UNIT PRE-CHECK
Prior to unpacking and installation check that the appliance and all its components has not been damaged during transport. It is the users duty to make themselves aware of and apply all national or more restrictive local standards and national regulations (AS/NZS 2918:2018).
FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
-
FIRE CHAMBER
Construct a level fire chamber with solid non-combustible materials (ie – bricks). This chamber will act as an open ovenbelow the hood. -
POSITIONING
Place the hood unit into a fixed position on top of the fire chamber. Ensure the hood is centred and well supported on both sides and the rear. -
SECURING
Secure the hood to the fire chamber by bracketing the back of the hood, to the back of the fire chamber exterior. -
TEST
Test the ventilation of the hood is correct and operational by lighting a small amount of paper in the fire chamber.
INSTALLATION
FREESTANDING – CHECKLIST
OPERATION
FIRST FIRE
-
PREPARE THE UNIT
Before lighting the first fire, ensure to remove all addiational components (ie. fireproof glove and paint can). Also ensure all plastic wrapping has been removed from all components (ie. grill, trays etc). -
FIRST FIRE
Begin first fire in the fire chamber. It is essential that the first fire is carried out slowly. Ensure fire is well ventilated, create small fire with kindling/ sticks and paper. Slowly build fire up with larger sticks and small firewood. Once the firebox has begun to burn through the initial load, add the first change of fuel, by incorporating larger chunks and logs. During the first few fires, the unit may emit some fumes/ gases, this is normal and due to the evaporation of the components of the paints and oils in the manufacturing process. -
FUEL
Use only dry and well-seasoned hard wood with a maximum moisture content of 15% to assist in reducing creosote build up. Do no use wet wood, green leaves, plastic materials, magazines or household waste; this will contaminate the environment and may cause fire hazards due to obstructions / creosote build up in the flue. -
EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE
Stop fuelling the fire and let it burn out. The fire should burn out without any constraints.
ONGOING USE
TRANSITION PERIOD, INSUFFICIENT CHIMNEY DRAUGHT AND POOR WEATHER
CONDITIONS
Pay attention to the operations of the fireplace during transition periods
and/or when chimney draught is insufficient or when weather conditions are
unfavourable, especially during severe cold weather. Such conditions may cause
flue gas to flow into the room. To prevent such a situation, you should reduce
the intensity of fire by curbing the influx of air into the combustion chamber
until smoke disappears. Afterwards you may increase air flow monitoring for
any appearance of smoke in the room.
OVERFIRING
Continuous and intensive slow burn operation or over-firing may cause early
deterioration of the appliance and its components, as well as a chimney fire
if the flue has not been regularly cleaned. Do no operate the firebox past its
capacity, with a maximum of 1/3 full.
IMPORTANT WARNING
Igniting with and storing any flammable materials (paper, linen, furniture,
solvents, flammable liquids, spray containers, gas bottle, etc.) close to the
fireplace is strictly forbidden. All these products should never be stored
even for a short while in wood storages or recesses laid out under or near the
appliance. The window, the front panel of the appliance, as well as all
external faces including the facade, will attain high temperatures (above
100°). Uninitiated persons, young children and infants should be monitored at
all times while in thevicinity of the appliance.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
GLASS
The vitro-ceramic glass can withstand temperatures of up to 700°C. If the
glass breaks following a handling error, it is not recommended to replace it
using a material other than that supplied by the manufacturer. The original
glass quality must be used to maintain any warranty of the unit.
CLEANING THE GLASS
The window of the unit (both firebox and oven) requires regular cleaning with
specific products intended for this use. The use of moist hard wood with a
moisture content above 15% causes excessive creosote build up on the glass.
Blocking all air slides whist the unit is operational, also causes blackening
of the glass. We recommend waiting for the glass to cool before cleaning it.
The use of products that are too aggressive (eg. abrasive cleaners) may lead
to the deterioration of some of the unit components. An effective and
ecological method of cleaning the glass is to use a piece of damp newspaper
dipped in ash and then rinsing with clean water. You can also use a
commercially available glass cleaning product.
ASH PAN
The ash pan should be emptied regularly in order to avoid any overflow and
clogging of the fire grate. Use the cold handle supplied and pull the ash pan
from the appliance. You will find some ashes catching in the cavities between
the ribs of the fireplate. This bed of ashes caught between the fireplate is
essential as it will create a more effective start up operation of the fire.
FIREBOX & CHIMNEY SAFETY
FLUE & FIREBOX
Flues should be professionally cleaned and checked twice a year, including at
least once during the peak period of use, and more if required. A professional
should also check seals, door ropes, glass positioning, door alignment, flue
damper controls, baffle plates and all consumable parts of the firebox and
flue to ensure the unit is in safe working order. If any non-consumable
component of the firebox is broken it may render the installation/ operation
unsafe. Do not use the appliance if this is the case and contact your dealer.
FORBIDDEN FUELS
This appliance is not designed for burning the following fuels:
- Solid mineral fuels (all coals or similar)
- Liquid mineral fuels (Gasoline, fuel oil, solvents, drainage oils or similar)
- Methylated spirit
- Creosote-treated woods and too moist or green woods
- Paper or cardboard
- Wood workshop residues (Shavings, saw dusts or similar)
- Other forbidden fuels that may harm the appliance or the environment
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
Prior to using and installing into an existing chimney, it’s necessary to
perform a chimney sweep and ensure it’s clear of any build up (cresote, bird’s
nest, etc). Chimney sweeps should be performed twice a year, including at
least once during the period of use.
CHIMNEY FIRES
Chimney fires can be caused due to incorrect use of the appliance and lack of
periodic cleaning.
Visible signs of a chimney fire include:
- Abundant fumes
- Strong smell of soot
- Roaring in the flue
- Significant increase in the temperatue of the flue
- Cinders flying out of the top of the flue
CHIMNEY FIRES (CONTINUED)
Suggested course of action in case of chimney fires:
- Put out the fire by carefully removing the glowing logs and fully close the fireplace door.
- Use a chimney sieve screen (metal mesh 2 x 10mm, preferably brass, on a 60x60cm frame).
- Place the screen on the chimney top and inspect the lower parts for cracks through which fire flames may escape. A hot screen reduces the draught in the chimney and, consequently, slows down the soot burning process.
- When required, call the Fire Department.
In the event of any emergency, put out the fire immediately by cutting off airflow into the insert and, where necessary, cover glowing wood with sand or a fire blanket. Try to remove fuel from the hearth.
Do NOT use water to put out the fire as it may cause permanent damage to the unit and its components.
