9.1 Appliance-specific information: Folke

9.1.1 Air slide valve and heat shield

9.1.1.1 Air slide valve

When installing and maintaining the appliance, please check the operation of the air slide valve (see Appendix 2,
fig. 5). It is possible that steel grit entered the air slide valve during transport. If the air slide valve does not move
smoothly it must be cleaned. For this purpose, the air slide valve must be disassembled. The suspended air slide
valve is spring-mounted using a bolt and a spring, which are located below the cover plate.
When mounting the air slide valve, please proceed as follows (see Appendix 2, fig. 5):
If an outside air connection has been mounted, it must first be removed, before the air slide valve can be mounted
Caution!
(for removing the outside air connection: see section 9.1.5.2).
Ø
Loosen the 4 screws, remove them and remove unit A (see appendix 2, figure. 13-I).
Ø
Remove the vermiculite plates from the bottom (see section 9.1.2.1).
Ø
Then remove the little square plate located in a recess below the vermiculite bottom plates.
Ø
Loosen the allen screw using the socket head wrench.
As soon as the bolt has been loosened, the air slide valve will fall down. Make sure you catch the air slide valve!
Caution!
Ø
Check the air slide valve and clean it if necessary.
In order to replace the air slide valve, proceed as described for removal, only in reverse order.

9.1.1.2 Heat shield (optional)

Using a heat shield will allow you to place the appliance with the back closer to a combustible wall. This heat
shield kit is optionally available through your supplier.
• It is only possible to place a heat shield if the flue gas discharge is connected at the top of the appliance.
Caution!
• Use a double-walled insulated flue gas discharge pipe if the distance to the flammable wall is short (see
Appendix 1, table 2).
The heat shield has to be fixed to the appliance. Proceed as follows:
Ø
Place the heat shield against the back of the appliance.
Make sure that the heat shield is assembled exactly according to figure 6 in Appendix 2.
Caution!
Ø
Tighten the 4 bolts supplied.

• When replacing the vermiculite plates.
The bottom plates are removed first and the rear plates are removed last (see Appendix 2, fig. 7).
Placing the vermiculate plates takes place in reverse order.
Make sure that the vermiculite plates are placed back in their original position! The back plate, for instance, must
!Caution
be placed with the small, not countersunk, holes towards the front.
