Step 1: Unpack and ensure all components are correct and undamaged
• Brazier
• Box of firebed mediums
Step 2: Install plinth (if required)
• If the appliance is to sit on a plinth, ensure it is capable of
supporting a 250kg load.
• There is no clearance requirement for the base of the appliance.
It may safely sit directly upon combustible (eg. timber)
and non-combustible (eg. concrete) materials.
Step 3: Install appliance into position
• Important: The position (that the appliance is to be
installed onto) must be weather-tight and free-draining
and comply with the requirements of the New Zealand
Building Codes E2 (External Moisture).
• Before installation, confirm all minimum clearances
from the outside surfaces of the appliance to the
surrounding enclosure are no closer than 500mm from
combustible materials.
• The exception to these minimum clearances is the base and the front surround panels of the appliance. The base
can safely sit directly upon combustible (e.g. timber) and non-combustible (e.g. concrete) materials.
• Check appropriate appliance specifications for air requirements.
• If a gas supply pipe has already been run, ensure 1000mm of 3/8 soft copper tube is available at the centre where
the appliance will be placed, as this is where the copper tube with the gas supply enters the appliance.
• If an electrical supply cable has already been run (must be a minimum of 1.0mm 4- core cable), ensure that the
cable reaches the centre where the appliance will be placed, as this is where it will enter the appliance.
• In order to access the fixing slots in the base of the appliance, and the gas and electrical connections, it is
necessary to first remove the burner.
Important Safety Note: It may be necessary to manually handle heavy components (greater than 25kg). It is the
installer’s responsibility to ensure appropriate manual-handling techniques are employed.

Weather Housing
• The gas supply pipe will need to be run into the weather housing under the burner, as this is where the copper tube
with the gas supply connects to the GD14 burner.
• The electrical supply cable will need to be run into the weather housing (must be a minimum of 1.0mm 4 core cable),
ensure 1000mm of cable is at the centre of the cavity, as this is where it will connect to the GD14 burner.
• In order to access the gas and electrical connections inside the weather housing, it is necessary to first remove the
burner. Remove the burner by following the ‘Burner Removal Process’ of this guide.

• Fix appliance into position and ensure that it complies with the minimum clearances required to the
surrounding enclosure. The exception to these minimum clearances is the base panels of the appliance, the
base can safely sit directly upon combustible (e.g. timber) and non-combustible (e.g. concrete) materials, refer
to the appropriate appliance specification for the correct clearance requirements. Ensure the framing is
capable of supporting a 250kg load.
• In order to provide maximum positioning flexibility, the base of the appliance has a flange with holes for fixing
through.
• Mark out and drill fixing holes through the holes in the flange. Ensure holes are drilled in the centre to allow
maximum positioning flexibility. Clear out any debris from drilling.
• Ensure the appliance is level and pack up to suit where necessary. Check and ensure unit is level.
• Once the appliance is level, fix bolts/screws into base

Step 4: Connect and test electrical supply
• All electrical connections must meet the requirements of AS/NZS 3000 standards and be installed
and certified by a suitably qualified person.
• In order to access the electricals, it is necessary to first remove the burner and weather housing cover.
• Remove the burner and weather housing cover by following the ‘Burner Removal Process’ and
‘Weather Housing’ of this guide.
• With the burner and weather housing cover removed the electrical connections between the appliance and
the switch can be seen, use 4 core (minimum 1mm) cable.
• Following these connection details, using the 4 core cable that has been run at site, connect the switch to the
appliance
• IMPORTANT: Before testing, ensure the gas valve is
turned OFF.
• Test electrical functions by switching the bottom High/Low switch to LOW, then switch the appliance ON
using the top On/Off switch.
• After approximately five seconds, the pilot will spark. Because the gas supply is turned off, the pilot will spark
for approximately five seconds then automatically switch off.
• NOTE: GD14 models have both LOW and HIGH settings.
• Switch to HIGH setting. Ensure that a red light appears on electrical connections block.
• Switch the appliance OFF. Electrical testing is complete.
• Install the burner and weather housing cover by following the ‘Burner installation process’ and ‘Weather
Housing’ in this guide.

Step 5: Connect gas supply and commission
• Gas installation, connection and commissioning must meet the requirements of AS/NZS 5601.1:2013
and be installed and certified by a suitably qualified person.
• In order to access the gas supply and testing area, it is necessary to first remove the burner and
weather housing cover.
• Remove the burner and weather housing cover
by following the ‘Burner Removal Process’
and ‘Weather Housing’ of this guide.
• Connect 3/8 soft copper pipe to main valve.
• Leak test all joints.
• Switch the appliance ON.
• Test / adjust high pressure first (using the outer brass
nut) and then the low pressures against rating plate
specifications.
• In the unlikely event that the rating plate is not attached, Do Not commission the appliance and contact The
Fire Dept immediately.
• Switch the appliance OFF.
• Install the burner and weather housing cover by following the ‘Burner Removal Process’ and ‘Weather
Housing’ of this guide.
• Switch the appliance ON.
• Note: due to lack of firebed, it may be necessary to
manually light burners.
• Switch the appliance OFF
• Lay firebed in accordance with instructions in Step 6 of this guide.
• Send gas certificate to appropriate person.

Version: August 2020 11
Step 6: Lay the firebed
• The GD14 has one firebed option: Forest Logs.
• Particular care should be taken when placing the firebed mediums onto the burner tubes. Failure to place the
medium correctly may result in the appliance performing inefficiently.
• Open the firebed cardboard box and identify firebox mediums.

How to lay Forest Logs Firebed - GD14 700
• Lay logs and rocks first, in these positions.
1. Pilot side
2. Pilot side
3. Pilot side
4. Pilot side
5. Non-Pilot side

Version: August 2020 13
• Switch the appliance ON at ‘HIGH’ setting to check how flame looks. The flame will take 10-30 seconds to
light fully.
• IMPORTANT: The flame effect should look natural and non-uniform, running the around each of the logs.
• Common flame effect issues are:
• Flames burning under logs.
• Missing flames along the middle of the logs.
• Both these issues can be resolved by switching the appliance OFF and slightly repositioning rocks and logs
at the problem areas.
• Repeat this switching On/Off and repositioning until a natural and non-uniform flame effect is achieved.
• Once a natural and non-uniform flame effect is achieved, switch the appliance to ‘LOW’ setting and ensure
the flame effect, although smaller, still looks good.
• Switch the appliance OFF.
