Your OFP400 Fireplace is designed to replace old wood and coal repits, with

the ease of use of LP Gas.

Choosing a site:

This replace may be installed in any outdoor area, and is designed to function

correctly with ample ventillation. Avoid areas where there are strong draughts,

which may be generated by narrow passage ways, as excessive wind could

aect the correct working of the repit.

Clearances to combustible materials:

Combustible materials are dened as wood, fabrics, or other materials likely

to burn when exposed to ame. Any other material which is likely to discolour,

melt, or lose shape when exposed to moderate heat, should fall into the same

category.

Min clearance to the sides for wood 800 mm

Min clearance to the sides for fabric 1500 mm

Min clearance to the ceiling 1500 mm

Min clearance to a oor ( including carpet ) 300 mm

Min clearance to combustible furniture in front 1500mm

A steel or masonry construction may be tted underneath the repit but under

no circumstances should any electrical equipment such as plasma screen

TV sets be positioned above the unit. Any ornaments positioned above the

replace must be able to withstand the elevated temperatures and moisture. No

combustible materials whatsoever must be used or placed above the replace.

*A permanently ventilated area is required for the safe installation of this unit

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FOR QUALIFIED GAS INSTALLER

Unpacking

•Carefully undo strapping to separate loose parts and remove all plastic

protective sheeting.

•Conrm that all components for the repit are present, and accounted for.

Positioning and Sizing

Build up a masonry or steel platform to the customers design, with a suitable

space to drop the repit into, so that it rests on the surrounding rim.

Provide ventilation underneath the platform for the primary air to the burner,

by means of a hole, with a minimum size of 100mm².

Connect up according to SANS 10087-1

Connect a copper pipe from the gas bottle via a regulator complying with

SANS 1237, to the Ø8 compression tting on the control valve, taking into

account the distance from the gas tank, to calculate the size of the copper

pipe.

Setting up

1. Insert the burner with the venturi facing the gas jet.

2. Fill the burner with the special black radiant Ceramic Ash or Fireglass.

3. Spread the Ceramic Ash or Fireglass evenly around the burner.

NOTE: Should the burner become dislodged, replace it making sure that it

rests at on the lip of the designated platform, without any gaps between it

and the plate.

4. Place Gas Logs in a tee-pee pattern with large hollow centre, or, in a hash(#)

pattern, spread across the burner evenly, allowing for about 50mm gaps

between layers.

Use only the number of Ceramic Ash and Gas Logs, or Fireglass supplied.

Testing and Commissioning

Turn on the gas supply and test for leaks with soapy water.

Ensure that the WORKING PRESSURE is 2,8 kPa at the control valve.

*See checklist for more detail

Brieng the customer

All instructions must be handed over to the user for safekeeping. Instruct the

customer how to turn the gas on and o and how to light and control the re.

After commissioning the unit the customer should be instructed on the safe

use of it and the need for regular servicing. Frequency of service depends on

usage, but must be carried out at the rst sign of malfunction and at least

once in 2 years.

OUTDOOR FIREPIT: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OUTDOOR FIREPIT VALVE: PRESSURE TESTING

The Outdoor Firepit Valve opens manually to allow gas through to the burner.

1. Open any Shut-O valves in the gas line, leading up to the Control Box.

2. Depress and Turn the ON/OFF VALVE counter-clockwise until rst stop, and

keep the knob depressed.

3. Wait for 5 seconds before depressing the IGNITOR Button, and keep the

ON/OFF knob depressed.

4. If the pilot is extinguished during use, turn OFF the ON/OFF VALVE for 1

minute before repeating the ignition procedure several more times before

consulting your Gas Installer.

5. To turn the Outdoor Firepit Burner OFF, simply turn the main ON/OFF valve

clockwise at the control box to “OFF”.

(This will extinguish both the main burner and the pilot burner.)

1. A “Pressure Test Tee” needs to be

tted in the line just before the main

inlet of the Control Box. (As depicted

below)

2. Adjust line pressure to correct

working pressure, whilst re is set to

“High”.

The pressure should be according to the

data set out in the SPECIFICATIONS. The

replace is factory set to work at these

pressures and any signicant variation

could indicate a supply problem.

If the pressure is too high or too low, then

check the inlet pressure, by the above

procedure.

CHECKLIST FOR GAS INSTALLER

CAUTION

Before calling the manufacturer, ensure that all the checkpoints below

conform. Refer to the latest SANS 1539:2017 Annex A ,C & E

Check there is gas in the gas bottle (if bottle is nearing empty change over to

new bottle)

Check that the inlet working pressure is 2.8 kPa. If not correct:

Check that the supply pipe is the correct diameter for the distance

covered.

Check that the regulator is functioning correctly, and not “humming”.

The burner must be correctly positioned and sitting ush on the bottom

plate.

Check that the gas jet is centrally aligned with the burner venturi.

Check for spider webs in the venturi.

The black ceramic ash supplied with the Chad-O-Chef repit must be

placed inside the burner.

Ensure that the number of Gas Logs placed on the repit is correct, as

supplied by Chad-O-Chef.

DO NOT use more Ceramic Ash or Gas Logs than recommended and

supplied. (See Page 3)

Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for the Firepit (See Page 2)

Do not tamper with jets, burners or regulator settings. NEVER MODIFY OR

ADAPT CHAD-O-CHEF PRODUCTS TO WORK DIFFERENTLY.

CHAD-O-CHEF products are preset and tested to function eciently and are

approved by the LPGSA.

Should a burn back occur, i.e. the jet catching alight at the entry to the burner

with a noticeable loud rushing sound: Turn the gas o immediately and

relight after 1 min. If condition persists, contact your gas installer.

Should a leak in the gas be detected, turn o the gas at the gas cylinder, and

contact your installer immediately.

Should there be an unexplained shutdown, which could be the result of

insucient oxygen in the burner, shut o the gas supply, then wait 3-5 min

before attempting to restart. If condition persists, contact your gas installer.

WARNINGS

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

CAN LEAD TO DEATH

Carbon monoxide poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have

these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at

once. Have the heater serviced. Some people are more affected by car-

bon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with

heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol,

and those at high altitudes.

WARNING

This Outdoor Firepit must NEVER be installed Indoors

CLEANING

SERVICING

It is normal for soot deposits to appear on the ceramic logs. This phenomenon

adds a rustic aesthetic to your repit and should not be of concern. If the soot

deposits are such that the build-up is excessive, then clean each log individually

with a broom, or brush when cold. Do not use any water or oil based cleaners, as

these will penetrate the ceramic and cause irregular burning of the repit.

The surrounding facia may be cleaned with any good stainless steel cleaner,

whilst a damp cloth should clean any other surfaces.

*Servicing must be carried out by a qualied gas installer.

Frequency of service depends on usage, but must be carried out at the rst sign

of malfunction and at least once in 2 years.

Spiders are the biggest pests, because they tend to occupy the smallest of holes

which will be in the burner venturi or the pilot air holes. If spiders are a problem in

the home, have your replace serviced just before the new season begins.

Suggested procedure for servicing:

1. Isolate the gas supply and work on a cold unit.

2. Remove the ceramic logs.

3. Remove the burner and empty the black ceramic ash into a container.

4. Clean the burner and venturi by vacuuming.

5. Inspect the Pilot and clean the airways. Check the spark gap.

6. Inspect and clean the main jet

7. Re-assemble the components.

8. Turn on the gas supply and perform a leak test.

9. Check pilot and burner for good ignition.

10. Light the re and check pressure settings.

11. Check the safe operation of the unit.
