Frequently Asked Questions - Ruby Insert EUREKA

How do I start a fire in the Eureka Ruby Insert?

Place a firelighter or paper in the firebox with small kindling on top. Ignite, set air control to high, and leave the door open about 25 mm. Once kindling is burning, add small wood pieces and close the door. After 20 minutes, reduce air control to medium.

Why does my glass door get dirty quickly?

Dirty glass is often caused by burning wet or unseasoned wood, or trying to achieve too long an overnight burn. Use dry hardwood (moisture <20%) and adjust air settings. Clean with a damp cloth or wet ash from the firebox.

How do I clean the flue?

It is recommended to hire a licensed professional. To do it yourself: remove cast iron liners and baffle, close the door, then use a 150 mm flue brush from the roof. Remove the cowl, brush down the chimney, and repeat until clean. Replace components and inspect the roof flashing.

What should I do if the fan is noisy?

Turn off power and unplug. Remove the fascia and fan. Clean dust from fan blades with a brush and vacuum. Apply 2-3 drops of sewing machine oil to the bearings. Reassemble in reverse order.

What type of wood can I burn in this heater?

Only dry hardwood with a moisture content below 20%. Do not burn rubbish, driftwood, treated wood, or flammable liquids. Unseasoned wood reduces efficiency and causes creosote buildup.

How often should the chimney be cleaned?

At least once a year, or more frequently if creosote buildup is visible. Signs include excessive smoking or a sticky film on the glass.

The air control slide is sticking. How do I fix it?

Open the door and remove the three screws holding the air slide. Wipe off any ash or dust from the slide and heater face. Sand off any burrs with fine wet/dry paper. Reassemble without lubricant.

Can I burn rubbish or treated wood in the heater?

No. Only burn dry hardwood. Burning rubbish, driftwood, or flammable liquids can damage the heater and cause a flue fire. It will void the warranty.

How do I adjust the door seal to ensure a tight fit?

Check door rope indentation. If uneven, adjust the door hinge by loosening the M8 bolts and pivoting the door, or add/remove hinge shims. For rope replacement, use 19 mm OD rope and silicone adhesive. Allow 12 hours curing before use.

What is the warranty period for the Eureka Ruby Insert?

Most components are warranted for 12 months from date of purchase, subject to proper installation and operation. The warranty does not cover abuse, misuse, or unauthorized modifications. Extended coverage may apply to certain parts.

Firewood

Getting the most out of your firewood

Firewood is a sustainable source of energy and when used correctly can provide a cost effective form of heating in your home. Too often poor heating results and operational issues are attributed to using unseasoned wood which leads to excess smoking, causing creosote buildup and dirty glass. Wood should be stored in a dry place where good ventilation is available. Freshly cut wood should be stored for between 12-24 months before burning.

Use only hardwood with your Eureka Ruby.

Thermal efficiency

A wood's efficiency does not depend only on its type, but also on its moisture content as well as the temperature of the combustion chamber. To achieve a greater efficiency and longer burn cycle out of your Eureka Ruby, without the emissions of hazardous particulates, your wood must be well seasoned.

Ideally, wood should not be burnt when its moisture content is above 20%. A moisture meter to measure moisture content is a handy addition.

Figure 14

The combustion process of burning wood

When wood is heated up to approximately 100 degrees celsius, moisture begins to evaporate from the fuel. There is no heating value from the wood at this point. As moisture releases from the wood, it reduces the efficiency of the combustion process robbing heat energy from the wood. This demonstrates the importance of dry and well seasoned wood. As firebox temperatures reach 250-300 degrees celsius, wood solids begin to break down and release volatile gases which ignite and produce heat.

From 3001 degrees celsius, the main energy available from wood is released when fuel vapors containing up to 60% of the wood's potential heat is released.

Understanding combustion principles and learning how to manipulate various conditions surrounding the operation of your Eureka Ruby enables you to achieve maximum comfort and efficiency from your Australian made wood heater.

Troubleshooting

- Noisy Fan

Turn the power off and remove the three pin plug from the power point. Remove door and carefully place to one side. Remove the four M8 Cap Screws that hold the fascia onto the firebox. Remove the fascia. Remove switch mount panel. Disconnect the wiring loom via the plastic joiner. Unscrew the wing nuts which hold the fan in position and remove the fan. Clean any dust with a dry paint brush and vacuum the fan blades. Clean around the motor. After completion place two or three drops of sewing machine oil on the shafts at the bearings. Replace the fan in reverse to the removal.

• Fan not working

Check the power connection with another appliance. If the power point is ok, shift focus to the fan or the switches. Move thermostat switch into the 'Override' position, and select one of the three fan speeds. If the fan fails to function, Isolate power as above, remove fascia to gain access to loom. Check that the terminals on the loom and both switches are firmly connected. If the fan still fails to function, remove the fan and switches by firstly removing knob off the rotary switch by pulling it away from the heater. Undo the holding nut and pull the switch out.

Squeeze locator tabs together on the rear of the thermostat switch and push through outside of pedestal. Disconnect the wiring from the power lead and remove the fan. Convey the same to the authorised Eureka Dealer from whom you purchased your unit for service. Replace in the reverse order,

• Air control jamming

Access to the air slide is available when the door is opened.

There are three screws holding the air slide in place. Undo them and remove the air slide. Wipe any ash or dust that may have accumulated on the back of the air slide or on the face of the heater. If any burrs have developed on the back of the air slide or on the face of the heater, rub them off with fine wet and dry sand paper till you have a smooth surface and edges. Replace the air slide and make sure the washers, springs and spacers are re-fitted when you screw the bolts back into the face of the heater. Do not apply any type of lubricant to the air slide whatsoever as this will attract dust and make the slide stick.

• No overnight burn

Remove the air slide as per air control jamming and check that the air slide is hard against the face of the heater. If it is loose, tighten up the bolts holding the air slide to the face of the heater. Do not overtighten.

Check that the door rope has an even indentation from its contact with the face of the firebox. If it is uneven and it appears as though air could leak through the seal, the door hinge and latch can be adjusted or the door rope may need to be replaced. Refer door adjustments and rope replacement instructions.

• Excessive ash build up

Some woods will give large amounts of ash despite how you run the heater. Others will give you very little. Use the wood which is most convenient for you, as long as it is dry. After a period of time you will get to know when to empty your unit. Bark will give you excessive ash. Try not to burn it. If you are burning wood that gives you charcoal, you may find that after running the heater say for 8 hours at maximum burn rate, the charcoal builds up excessively. An overnight burn will reduce this charcoal back to a fine ash. If you are not ready to shut down for an overnight burn when you next fuel the stove, load the stove with only one piece of wood and lay it across the firebox on top of the charcoal. Open the air control wide open and you will find the charcoal will burn down with the one piece of wood. Repeat the process until the ash level is significantly reduced.

- Excessive smoking - smoke entering the room maybe caused by:

- Insufficient length of flue (flue to be 4500mm minimum underneath the base of heater to underside of cowl) Increase height of flue

- Flue downdraught - Consult dealer or increase height of flue.

- Creosote build up in flue - Remove cowl and clean flue as per cleaning instructions. Check moisture content of wood.

Overfiring

NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE DOOR LOOSE, OR SUCH THAT THE FIREBOX IS NOT AIR TIGHT. OVERFIRING COULD RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FIREBOX AND FLUE SYSTEM.

Figure 1. Masonry Installation

AF Gason Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability whatsoever for any interpretation of AS/NZS 2918:2001. It is important you understand these installation instructions and minimum clearances to combustible materials before selecting a position for your Eureka Ruby, to ensure safe and correct installation is achieved.

Installation permit

Depending on your local authority requirements, a permit may be required for the installation of your heater. It is your responsibility to arrange the same.

Installation into existing or masonry fireplace

The Eureka Ruby Insert can be installed into a masonry fireplace with a flue system that is in accordance with the relevant sections of AS/NZS 2198:2001. No combustible or heat sensitive material maybe placed closer then 1410mm from the top of the hearth/base of the appliance and 35mm either side of the appliance's fascia.

In a masonry fireplace installation, the minimum hearth depth of 520mm from the front of the fascia panel must be achieved. In the instance the fireplace is raised above a combustible floor, and it is desirable to reduce the hearth depth, please refer to the elevated installation instructions on page 5 for hearth reduction information.

For detailed mantle clearance dimensions, refer Figure 5 on page 6.

If installing the Eureka Ruby under a combustible mantle, a hot air deflector must be attached onto the front of the fascia.

Installation Into Zero Clearance Cabinet - ZCC

The Eureka Ruby Insert can be installed in conjunction with a Eureka ZCC into a wall enclosure directly onto a floor or elevated above a floor.

The Eureka Ruby Insert conforms to AS/NZS 2918:2001 Appendix B, when the appliance is placed in relation to combustible surfaces as per these installation instructions.

For additional clearance details, or access to the Eureka Ruby Insert Conformance Certificate, please contact your local Eureka Dealer from whom you purchased your heater.

Brick Removal

IF BRICKS REQUIRE REMOVAL WHEN PREPARING THE FIREPLACE, ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT EXPOSE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS BEHIND THE BRICKWORK OR WEAKEN THE INTEGRAL STRUCTURE OF THE CHIMNEY.

Clearance to combustibles & Zero Clearance Cabinet (ZCC) installation

Below, Figure 2 shows an example of how the Eureka Ruby insert with ZCC should be placed in relation to combustible materials - plaster, wallpaper, timber, MDF etc. These clearances from the ZCC to combustible materials must not be reduced.

In the instance non-combustible or fire retardant material is used, clearances to the appliance can be reduced. It is recommended that a clearance of 25mm or larger between the appliance is always achieved to ensure air can circulate around the wood heater during operation.

Cladding

The front wall of the enclosure between the appliance base and the first noggin (1000mm above appliance base) must be clad with non-combustible material such as cement sheet, villaboard or Bellis Board of minimum 9mm thickness. This non-combustible cladding must extend horizontally a minimum of 15mm either side of the ZCC. It may be more practical to clad the entire front face of the enclosure with 9mm non-combustible material. Ensure that the front lip of the ZCC protrudes at least 9mm beyond the outer face of the stud wall. This is to prevent the cladding between the fascia of the heater and the stud from being unduly loaded, potentially causing cracking.

Installation (Continued)

Hearth & floor requirement

If the Eureka Ruby will be installed directly onto a non-combustible floor such as brick, stone or concrete slab with tiles, etc., which extends beneath the appliance as well as 520mm in front of the appliance fascia when in position, a hearth or floor protector may not be required.

If the Eureka Ruby is to be installed directly onto a combustible floor, a minimum 18mm thick non-combustible hearth or floor protector (cement sheet, Bellis Board, Hebel, stone or masonry, concrete etc.) must be placed in between the appliance and the combustible floor.

At a minimum, the floor protector must extend 520mm in front of the appliance fascia. It should continue beneath the ZCC to a minimum overall depth of 1135mm and must be 1000mm wide.

Elevated Installation

Masonry

In some instances is may be desirable, or required that the Eureka Ruby Insert be installed into an existing fireplace which is raised above a combustible floor. In this situation, the minimum required hearth can be reduced to the corresponding elevated height dimensions mentioned in Table 1.

Scenario - The appliance is to be installed into an existing brick masonry fireplace which is situated 100mm above a combustible floor. At this height the minimum required hearth depth is 400mm in front of the appliance fascia. (refer Table 1.)

ZCC

In the instance the ZCC is raised in a combustible enclosure, the structure used to support the appliance at its desired height must be constructed out of non-combustible material (steel tube, c-section, Hebel etc.), and must be able to withstand the combined weight of the Eureka Ruby Insert, the ZCC and the flue system (in excess of 250kg combined).

When the appliance is raised 140mm or more above a combustible floor, a 300mm non-combustible hearth or floor protector is always required as per AS/NZS 2918:2001.

Installation (Continued)

ZCC Installation notes

The Eureka Ruby has been factory fitted and attached inside the ZCC. Depending on your desired installation type, whether it be at ground level, or elevated for a mid-wall installation, the following sequence of installation steps may need to be adjusted to suit.

- Select the position that you wish to install your Eureka Ruby Insert ZCC, carefully allowing for flue clearances of 305mm in the roof cavity (the outer flue being 255mm requires a 25mm clearance on either side to combustibles, making overall clearance of 305mm), and allowing for sufficient clearances for combustibles where rear and side walls may play a role in the installation process.

- Ensure there is access to a power supply inside the enclosure for connecting the fan in the heater. In some instances an extension cord maybe required to reach a power supply. Please keep in mind that the fan will need to be removed for cleaning, and access to the power supply should be made relatively easy.

- Remove door (open door handle and swing door open to roughly 45deg and lift off hinge), remove cast iron liners and baffle system from inside the firebox to reduce overall weight of unit.

- Using a 5mm allen key, remove x4 MB cap screws which attach the fascia to the firebox. Carefully remove the fascia and place to the side. Removing the fascia allows the ZCC to be mounted flush with the front of the enclosure face for a flush fascia finish. - If installing at ground level onto a combustible floor surface, place required floor protector under the desired position of the ZCC, than carefully lift the ZCC into position.

- Fit flue system to upstands and appliance. Install through roof as per flue manufacturer's instructions, and terminate at the required height above the roof line, fit cowl. Note: the base of the active flue will need to be trimmed and sealed with fire cement. - Build your frame around the ZCC maintaining the clearances listed previously.

- Enclose the front of the frame with minimum 9mm non-combustible cement sheet, villaboard, Bellis Board, etc. - Enclose the sides of the frame with plaster, timber, MDF, etc.

• Install the mantle if required as per mantle clearances in figure 5.

Note: If mantle is made out of combustible material, the Eureka Ruby must have it's hot air deflector attached to the fascia. - Re-attach removable fascia & door.

Ruby Insert 11

Maintaining & Servicing your Eureka (Continued)

Cleaning the glass

Generally the only time you will possibly need to clean your glass is after a long overnight burn. If you find that you have a wet sticky black film on your glass (creosote), it is better to burn the heater as normal for one load of wood. When the wood has burnt down to a hot bed of embers, open the door and leave it wide open until the glass cools sufficiently to be wiped with a damp cloth. This should clean all the white smoky film off the glass. Creosote on the glass is normally a sign that you have tried to get too long an overnight burn or you have burnt excessively wet or green wood. If the film on the glass won't come off with a wet cloth, you can use wet ash from the ash bed as a cleaner or commercial products such as Crystal Clear, Johnson Foam Clean or Windex.

To maintain an efficient and safe use of your Eureka Ruby, you may need to adjust the door hinge and catch to ensure the door closes safely and correctly over the duration of its life.

Adjusting door catch

- Open door to gain access to catch.

• Using a 3mm Allen key, remove the two catch retaining screws and set aside.

• To tighten the latch, remove one shim. To loosen the latch, fit an additional shim.

• Additional shims are provided in the user manual packaging. Refer to figure 11-1.

- Once the desired setting has been achieved, re-fit the catch assembly using the two retaining screws.

- Note that if an adequate seal cannot be achieved through the removal of one shim, a replacement door rope may be required.

The door hinge defines the door alignment to the heater and the door catch, as well as determining the amount of pressure applied to the main door rope at the hinge side of the door.

To align door;

- Slightly loosen 3 x M8 Bolts securing the hinge to the heater. The upper bolts should

be loosened 1-1+1/2 turns, while the lower bolt should only be loosened 1/2 a turn.

- Align door horizontally by pivoting the door about the lower bolt. Note that there is no provision for lateral adjustment of the door hinge position.

- Check the alignment of the door by measuring vertically from the underside of the door at each outer edge, to the base of the unit, as per figure 11-2. This measurement should be taken with the hinge bolts tightened and with the door hanging under its own weight.

To adjust hinge shims:

- Open door and lift free of hinge, and place on a soft flat surface while servicing the hinge.

- Remove the door hinge and fasteners as shown in figure 13.

- Remove x1 hinge shim plate in order to tighten the seal of the door rope.

The maximum number of shims permitted behind the hinge is 2, fitted as standard. - Fit door and re-align door to catch and firebox before fully tightening M8 bolts.

Adjusting door handle

- The door handle position can be adjusted to align the handle with the door glass, when the handle is in the closed position.

- Adjustment is carried out by winding the adjuster screw in or out, in order to change the rest stop position of the handle. This should be done with the door open and the handle resting in the closed position.

- To adjust the position of the screw, first release the lock nuts, then use a Phillip's head screw driver to turn the adjuster screw either in or out depending on the adjustment required.

- Once the desired adjustment position has been achieved, the lock nut should be re-lightened against the retaining plate. Refer to figure 11.3.

Operating your Eureka (Continued)

- Initial Startup (cold)

Leave fan off until the heater is hot and has established a coal bed - approximately 20 minutes after fuel is lit.

• Medium or High Burn Setting

If the heater is running above medium fire for extended periods of time, fan speeds medium and high are recommended. High is recommended for short bursts where a quick temperature rise is desired in conjunction with a high fire setting.

- Low Burn Setting

The fan cools off the firebox, robbing the combustion process of

efficiency. If you wish the fan can be left off only when the heater is burning a low fire.

Note: Improper use of fan can result in firebox failure.

The fan should be cleaned on a regular basis. (Refer Troubleshooting for fan removal and cleaning.)

Figure 10

Operation of the Fan
If firebox failure is reported and it is found that the firebox has been abused through improper use of the fan, AF Gason Pty. Ltd. reserve the right to disallow any warranty claims in relation to firebox failure.

The Door

Leaving Door Open

As stated previously, leaving door open 25mm encourages the fire to pick up at a faster rate. Your heater has been tested to ensure that no structural damage can take place if the door is inadvertently left open. However your paint finish can be damaged if the door is left open for a long period with a full firebox of fuel with the fan off. Closely supervise your heater while the door is left open.

Closing the Door

Always ensure that before you close your door there is no wood protruding beyond the front of the firebox opening. Do not use the door glass as a 'battering ram' to push the wood back into the firebox. Damage to the glass by such impact is not covered by your warranty.

Maintaining & Servicing your Eureka

Cleaning your flue (It is recommended that you seek the services of a licensed plumber to carry out flue maintenance). Firstly and carefully remove cast iron plates and baffle system and put to one side. Close the heater door. Obtain a 150mm flue brush from your local Eureka Dealer and proceed up onto the roof. Remove the cowl. Slowly push the brush down the chimney until it stops. Pull the brush back out and repeat the process.

Each time you do this you will notice that the brush will go further down the chimney until it reaches the bottom. The soot and creosote will fall down the chimney and into the firebox. Clean residue from firebox. Replace the baffle plate first, followed by the cast iron liners.

Make sure you do the job well. The cleaner the flue the less chance there will be of the creosote sticking again. After you replace the cowl, inspect the roof flashing for any damage that may have incurred whilst you were cleaning the flue. Reseal the seal on the roof with roof and gutter silicon if required.

Baffle System

Steel Baffle Plate

If the baffle plate is damaged, burnt out, discarded or not installed as per these instructions, high flue temperatures, losses in combustion efficiency and excess smoking can occur.

To operate this appliance as it is intended, and to ensure product longevity is achieved, ensure the baffle is installed as per these instructions.

If firebox, flue failure or excess damage to the appliance or its surroundings is reported due to incorrect installation or operation of the baffle plate, AF Gason Pty. Ltd. reserve the right to disallow any warranty or claims in relation to the abovementioned.

When removing the baffle to clean the flue, the baffle must be inspected and replaced with the folded lip pointing up at the front of the firebox, as shown in figure 6. If the baffle is burnt through, cracked or deteriorated to such a point that it will cease to function properly, it must be replaced.

Fitting the Steel Baffle

1. Feed the baffle plate through the door opening with front edge fold facing up. Feed plate all the way to the rear of the firebox.
2. Lift front of baffle over Pin A and slide towards the front of heater.
3. Lift the rear so that the baffle is horizontal and move it towards the rear of the firebox.
4. Lower over Pin B.
5. Ensure baffle is sitting on Pins A and B.

Placement of Cast Iron Liners into firebox

The rear cast iron liner is to be positioned to the rear with rib and logos facing into the firebox. Side cast liners are to be positioned on each side and interlock into the rear cast liner. Refer Figure 7 for orientation.

WARNING

Read these instructions

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT READING AND UNDERSTANDING THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. FAILURE TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE PROPERLY MAY CAUSE UNDUE DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR RESULT IN A FLUE FIRE.

Starting your fire

Place a firelighter or paper in the bottom of the firebox and place a large amount of small kindling on top. Ignite the paper or the firelighter. Set the air control to high and leave the main door open approximately 25mm. When the kindling is burning, place about four pieces of small wood on top of the burning kindling. Once the wood is alight, close the main door. After approximately 20 minutes, turn the air control down to medium. For fan operation refer page 10. On the initial fire up you may detect smoke coming from the paint finish and from any oils that may be on the steel on the outside of the firebox. This is normal. It is suggested to well ventilate your home on the initial fire up. Please refer to our section 'Paint Curing and Care' on page 2.

The glass door

Always operate your heater with the door closed and locked. The only time you can leave the door open is on initial lighting, or when reloading the heater.

Care of your glass

If you are burning good dry wood, you will have very little discolouration of your glass in normal burning cycle. If you aim for an eight to ten hour overnight burn, you should not get much discolouration. You can control this by adjusting the air control, moving from the left and slowly creeping the control to the right. After a number of days you will find the right position to suit your requirements and the fuel that you are using.

Daily operations

When you get up in the morning, open up the air control of the heater to high position to start the embers glowing. Place three or four pieces of wood on top of the embers and leave the door open 25mm. Once the fuel starts to flame close the door. Depending on your daily heating requirements, operate the fan as per fan operation instructions on page 10. For best results it is best to burn 410mm long wood and load your wood straight into the firebox front to rear. This will give optimum efficiency and recoverable heat, and minimise creosote formation and smoke emissions.

Overnight burn

Approximately 30 minutes before turning the heater down for the overnight burn it is recommended to load the heater with fuel. Leave the air control in the medium to high position. Let the heater run for about 30 minutes. This will reduce the moisture content in the fuel before shut down. (This will help reduce the creosote formation in the firebox and flue.) Set the air control to the setting you have found best for your requirements. Turn the fan off or to the thermostat control position and retire. The aim when overnight burning is to have only a few hot embers left in the bottom of the firebox in the morning, not huge lumps of wood.

Fan operation

Your Eureka Ruby Insert is equipped with a temperature-sensitive thermostat switch located within the heater's fascia beneath the firebox, which when selected will turn the fan on and off depending on the temperature of the firebox. To use the thermostat, select the thermostat 'On' position via the thermostat switch, and select the desired fan speed you wish to use (low, medium or high). If the fan is not coming on at the desired time, flip the switch into the Override position and operate the 3 speed fan as described on page 10.
