The Santa Fe (flueless) models use a flexible hose and bayonet. The bayonet can be connected to an
AGA approved G 1/2” floor bayonet socket.
In all cases a shut-off valve should be installed directly behind the heater to facilitate isolation of the
heater for servicing.
It is essential to purge all gas lines before making the connection to the heater to eliminate any swarf.
Do not make the connection until the suitability of the flue position has been confirmed.
GAS PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT. All pressure adjustments must be made while the heater is
operating on the ‘HIGH’ setting.
BOSTON AND ODESSA NG. These have a pressure regulator separate from the control valve. The
regulator must be set to 1.0 kPa. The pressure test point is on the side of the regulator and the
adjusting screw is on the top. Slacken the lock-nut and rotate the screw by hand, screwing down to
increase the pressure. Tighten the lock nut after adjusting.
BOSTON AND ODESSA LP. These models have no internal pressure regulator as they run directly on
the 2.71 kPa pressure delivered by the gas bottle regulator.
SANTA FE NG . These have a pressure regulator built into the control valve. The pressure test point is
the top one on the end of the control valve furthest from the gas inlet. Pressure adjustments are
made with the small slotted screw above and slightly to the right of the gas inlet on the control
valve. Adjust to 0.9 kPa.
SANTA FE LP. There is no pressure regulator in the control valve. The correct pressure of 2.71 kPa
should be delivered by the gas bottle regulator. The test point for checking this pressure is the
uppermost one on the end of the appliance valve furthest from the gas inlet.
ELECTRICITY. Plug the fan lead into a 230 volt power outlet and check that the fan operates
correctly on all speeds. The fan switch is under the lid (on the cabinet top) which covers the gas
controls.
FLUE (For Boston and Odessa models)
USE ONLY AN APPROVED FLUE SYSTEM.
1. Stand the heater in its proposed position, taking care to observe the minimum clearances
shown on page 3. The heater does not require a hearth or floor protector.
2. Drop a plumb-bob from the ceiling to hang centrally in the flue socket of the heater and mark
the position on the ceiling. Drive a small nail through at this point and inspect the ceiling and
roof to ensure that the flue and its trim will be at least 25mm clear of any combustible
material. The flue termination requirements stated in ‘Positioning the Heater’ (page 2) will
also need to be met.
3. Cut appropriate holes through the ceiling and roof material and install the flue in accordance
with the instructions accompanying it, taking care to provide any safety clearances specified in
the instructions (usually 25mm between the flue shield and any nearby combustible material).
The installation must meet the requirements of AG 601 or NZS 5261 as appropriate. The top
of the flue must be above the roof, at least 500mm clear of any part of the roof and at least 1
metre horizontally from any neighbouring structure. All flue sections must be securely coupled
to each other.
5. Flash the upper flue at the point of exit through the roof, to prevent water entry, and fit the
flue cap.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the flue system is operating
correctly. See ‘TEST FIRING’ below.
