GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING
Fire Risk.
For use with solid wood fuel only.
Other fuels may over fire and generate poisonous gases (i.e. carbon monoxide).

Note:

• The Taurus DS firebox weighs approx. 310kg including base.
• To safety lift the unit onto the base for positioning, the unit should be stripped of as much weight as possible by removing all bricks, baffles and the door assemblies.
• Page 18 & 19 contain information regarding brick removal and re-assembly.
• The top door hinge should be marked for it’s location prior to removal so it can be reassembled easily into it’s correct location. If the door doesn’t locate into the latch mechanism correctly adjustment is via the two bolts on the top hinge.

FAN BASE PROVISIONS

If using the optional fan base, ensure there is provision for power. Power cord requires a single 240v 10amp GPO.
Access for fans for servicing/cleaning is via the inner panels of the pedestal. Four retainer screws hold the vent covers in place.

• Notice: When storing wood in the pedestal, take note to leave the vents on the sides clear for optimum airflow.
• Alternatives to the Pedestal bases are possible and should be constructed out of non-combustible materials such as steel or natural stone. If placing at an elevated height (400mm or more) above the floor, refer to FIG 1 for hearth requirements and clearances.
• For a floating hearth, consideration should be given to the usability of the burn rate control handle due to the low position location. See example below

F. Install Checklist

Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations
Consideration must be given to:

• Safety
• Convenience
• Traffic flow Chimney and chimney
• connector reauired

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation. If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof. We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after installation. If this appliance is in an area where children may be near it is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier to go in front of the appliance. Remember to always keep children away while it is operating and do not let anyone operate this appliance unless they are familiar with this anaratina incinintane.

B. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

1.  Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.
3. A CO detector should be installed in the room with the appliance.
4. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.
5. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows: In the event of a chimney fire:
   • Evacuate the house immediately
   • Notify fire department.

Negative Pressure

CAUTION

• Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.

WARNING Asphyxiation Risk.

• Do NOT connect this appliance to a chimney flue servicing another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system. May allow flue gases to enter the house.

NOTICE: VISIONLINE FIREPLACES ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IMPROPER PERFORMANCE OF THE APPLIANCE SYSTEM CAUSED BY:

• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Down drafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
• Over drafting caused by excessive chimney heights
• Ideal performance is with height of chimney between 14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of the appliance.

WARNING Asphyxiation Risk

• Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes, soot and carbon monoxide.
• Appliance needs to draft properly for safety

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the appliance to operate properly. It can be strongest in lower levels of the house.

Causes include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water appliances and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
  *Upper level air leaks such as:
  • Recessed lighting –
  • Attic hatch –
  • Duct leaks

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:

• Install optional outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or small isolated spaces
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed
• Basement installations should be avoided

E. Inspection of Appliance and Components

• Remove appliance and components from packaging and inspect for damage.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment.
• Read all the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

Consideration needs to be given on a double sided fireplace with fans as to how to power the fans. In some cases on new construction it may be appropriate to contain the power supply within conduit within a poured slab.
If installing as per FIG 1B with a side wall extension, power can be supplied with a single 240V GPO on the side wall.
Optional fans should not be used within 45 minutes of starting the fireplace, this allows the firebox to warm up prior to heat being pulled from the heat exchanger. Using the optional fans prior will reduce the heat output of the fire and delay the warm up process dramatically.

CAUTION: Fans should be switched off when the fireplace door is opened. Failure to do so may result in smoke being blown into the room.

FIREPLACE OPERATION

Before lighting the first fire
If the stove was stored in a cold environment (car, store, etc.) before the first lighting, keep it at room temperature for about 3 hours to equalise moisture condensation and surface temperature of the parts. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the glass or lining of the stove.
During the first lighting, the paint coating will go through a curing process. The stove paint will emit an odor for at least 4 hours as it adheres to the steel. Ensure to ventilate the room during this time.

Lighting your fire

• Ensure the Air Slide is in the open or high position. (pulled out fully towards you.
• In firebox lay your fire lighters 10 to centimetres apart. Do not use newspaper as a fire lighter.
• Add a mixture of soft wood and hardwood kindling in a criss cross pattern above the firelighters. Softwood kindling allows for fire to light quicker and burn hotter, mixing in some kindling size hardwood helps the coals retain more heat for longer.
• Light fire with match or gas lighter, when fire is ablaze close the door, but do not latch the door. Leave for 5-10 minutes maximum and do not leave unattended.
• Load pieces of hardwood that are no wider than a drink can in a criss cross pattern.
• Latch the door and leave latched for 30 minutes. If your heater has a fan, do not run the fan for at least 45 minutes.
• After 30 minutes add the large pieces of hardwood. These pieces should be no bigger than a loaf of bread. Close and latch door after loading.
• After 45 minutes you can adjust the air slide to slow fire down and find your comfort level. If you have a fan fitted you can now turn it on.

If too little wood and firelighters are used during lighting or the pieces are too large, the optimal operating temperature will not be reached. This can lead to poor combustion, high soot formation and the extinguishing of the fire after closing the door.
Slow combustion fireplaces with wide door openings are prone to smoke spillage occassionally when the door is opened during lighting and reloading. This occurs due to a pressure imbalance when opening the door as cool air rushes in.
Avoid opening the door when there is visible smoke/flame to reduce this symptom. It is good practice to only reload when fuel is at coaling phase.
Only load fuel through one door at a time.

Tips on choosing firewood

• How long a tree has been felled or dead for does not indicate how dry the wood is. The best way to dry wood is to split it and expose the inner core allowing the sun to dry the wood naturally.
• Good wood merchants will split the wood for you, but may not season it for you.
• The amount of you pay for your wood or the appearance of the wood does not justify how dry the wood is. The only way to know how dry your wood is, is to use a moisture meter measuring from the inner core after splitting the piece of wood you are testing.
• Only burn wood under 20% moisture.
• Anything over 20% and your wood heater will not work efficiently. The energy from the fire will be used to reduce moisture in your wood and not produce heat for your house.
• Store your wood for at least 12 months after your have purchased it. Optimum moisture content is between 15-18%. Wood under 15% will have a shorter overall burn time than wood around 20%.
• Never burn treated wood or painted wood.

Combustion air

• The 3 elements required for fire are Fuel, Heat and Oxygen. When a fire is started within a slow combustion heater, the heat rises in the flue system creating a vacuum within the firebox. This vacuum creates positive pressure or ‘draw’ which pulls oxygen in to replace itself and create the
• balance of air to keep the fire running.
• In tightly sealed homes, fresh air supply to the unit may be insufficient due to an air pressure imbalance which can affect the operation of the stove.
• This stove has the possibility of connecting directly to outside the envelope of the home to supply combustion air. This is via the 99mm diameter central air duct neck located on the base of the unit which can be connected through the sub floor.
• To ensure a central air supply, the duct must not be longer than 3 m and have too many bends. The minimum duct diameter is 80 mm.
• The central air duct must be led outdoors or into a well-ventilated room inside the building (cellar, utility room, etc.).
• VisionLINE fireplaces recommends the VisionLINE AIR insulated flue system to create a balanced flue ensuring adequate air supply balance. T-section and snorkel cannot be used to connect to outside air on this appliance.

NOTICE

• Over firing the unit and continuously running the unit on high with an overloaded firebox for extended periods of time can damage the unit.
• This picture shows the firebox fully loaded.
• Note the red line which indicates a gap between the loaded fuel and the baffle top and the clear path to the tertiary air tube at the rear.
• Loading fuel which touches the roof baffle or the rear tertiary air tube is considered to be overloaded and can result in overfiring of the product causing damage to the unit and voiding the warranty.

CAUTION: Only open one door to reload the fireplace when the unit is in operation.
NOTICE: This fireplace is not designed to be operated as an open fire.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

• The stove and flue pipes must be inspected once a year or more frequently if required.

• The chimney needs to be cleaned regularly by a chimney sweep.

• Before the heating season, thoroughly clean the entire fireplace from ash and soot with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Ensure that ash that has fallen between fire bricks is removed.

• Inspect the fire bricks and firebox.
  Only clean the glass when the stove is cold and never use abrasive cleaners.

• The stove surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary with a mild soap solution. Scratches or surface rust should be lightly sanded and re-sprayed with the matched colour, Anthracite grey.

• For firebrick removal, please follow the following guide.
