INTRODUCTION

APPLIANCE SERIAL NUMBER

This number can found on the appliance specicaon label on the rear heat shield or on

the compliance plate aached to the rear of the heater. This number maybe required when

ordering spare or replacement parts.

The Nectre MEGA LE has two air controls for

controlling the re.

1 Top Air Slide, is a slide in (closed) and out (open)

manual operaon by the user that allows air to enter

the rebox from above the door, where it is then

drawn down into the base of the re. It also funcons

as a air wash to keep the glass of the door clean. The

knob of the air slide is made from bakelite.

2 Boom Air Slide (Turbo Boost) is a manual slide

le (open) to right (closed) by the user that allows air

to enter directly into the base of the re and is used

as a boost when either starng a re or to excited

the re to generate more heat output quickly. - NOTE

when operang the MEGA LE in the open posion for

extended duraon will reduce the eciency. Should

always be closed when leaving the room.

3 The Nectre MEGA LE door handle is made from

mild steel and has a stay cool spring screwed on.

Warning: The handle may get hot if the appliance has

been operang at High Burn seng for an extended

period of me, in which case it is recommended using

a protecve glove or equivalent to open the door.

NOTE

Open the Top Air Slide before opening

the door to eliminate the chance of

back-dra and /or smoke entering

the room.

USING YOUR MEGA LE FOR THE FIRST TIME

For the rst few me the appliance is lit it will give o some odorous fumes, which is a curring

of the paint as it heats. It is recommended that you do not touch the paint work while it is

curing, otherwise it can leave a permanent mark on the appliance.

Once the paint is cured the fumes will dissipate. It is suggested that you keep the room well

venlated unl these fumes have cleared.

RECOMMENDED FUELS

LIGHTING THE FIRE

RUNNING THE APPLIANCE

Burn only seasoned hardwood mber with

moisture content of less than 20%. Newly cut

wood should be allowed to dry (season) for

12 to 18 months before burning.

Wood should be stored in an environment

which is protected from the weather to

minimise any potenal moisture content.

For best results, wood should not exceed 270-

290mm in length and 150mm in diameter.

Any larger and the appliance will not operate

at it’s opmum. It is beer to burn several

smaller pieces of wood rather than one large

single piece.

Poor quality mber:

• causes low combuson eciency.

• produces poor emissions (smokey).

• results in addional build-up of creosote

(soot) in the ue which will require

regular cleaning and may result in a ue

re.

Do not burn painted, impregnated/treated

wood, manufactured board products or

pallet wood.

Top air slide regulates the burn me and heat

output depending on the desired warmth.

HIGH HEAT OUTPUT

• Aer establishing the re and loading with

larger pieces of wood, leave it running with

the top air slide fully open.

• Running the appliance with the door open

will not produce maximum heang into the

room as it will draw already warm air out of

the same space.

• Running the appliance with the top and

boom air slides in the fully opened

posion will not produce the hoest re as

too much heat is lost up the ue.

• Running the appliance in this seng is not

the most energy ecient.

LOW HEAT OUTPUT

• The heat output of the appliance can be

reduced by closing the top air slide which

reduces the oxygen intake to the re, which

slows down the burn rate.

• Best eciency is achieved at this seng and

increase burn mes as a result. However,

if not operated correctly this seng may

result in higher parculate emissions (dirty

burn).

• Before closing the top air slide make sure

the re is burning briskly. If not it may

require the top air slide to be le open fully

for 10-15mins before closing the air slide.

• To achieve the opmum from your

appliance between clean burning and high

eciency it is suggested that top air is

opened 4-5mm and the boom air is fully

closed.

1. Place relighters and or paper plus dry

kindling wood at the base of the rebox.

2. Open top and boom air controls.

3. Light the paper and or relighters.

4. Once the re has taken hold, add larger

pieces of wood. For opmal burning

condions, place the logs in a front to

back orientaon (right angles to the door

opening). Too many logs may smoother

the re.

5. Once the re is established, close the

boom air slide.

Reloading with more wood

• Open top air slide before opening the

door.

• Rake or break up any exisng coals on the

base of the rebox.

• Load the wood with the length orientated

front to back.

• Load smaller pieces rather than one large

piece of wood for beer results.

• Close the door with the top air slide fully

opened for a minimum of 10 minutes for

the wood to catch.

• Adjust the top air slide to the desired

warmth.

Depending on the type of wood burnt and

frequency, the ash will need to be removed

every 2-6 weeks. Remove excess ash when

necessary, placed in a non combusble

container with a ghtly ng lid and moved

outdoors immediate to a locaon clear of

combusble materials.

Leave a small amount (1cm) of ash in the

boom of the rebox, helps insulate the base.

Fuel quality

1. Use wood with a moisture content of less

than 20%. Wood should not feel moist

or damp, should not have moss or fungal

growths.

2. Symptoms related to wet wood:

• diculty starng and keeping a re burning

well.

• smoke and only small ames

• dirty glass and or rebricks

• rapid creosote build up in the ue

• low heat output

• short burn mes and blue/grey smoke

from ue outlet.

3. If seasoned wood is not used and some

moisture is present, it suggested that the top

air be used to regulate the required heat output

and burn rate, it is recommended to leave the

boom air slide open 3-4mm.

4. Run the appliance at high heat output for a

short period each day to avoid large build-up of

tars and or creosote within the appliance and

ue.

Flue dra

The ue has 2 main funcons:

1. to remove smoke, gases and fumes

2. to provide a sucient amount of dra

(sucon) in the appliance to ensure the re

keeps burning. Dra is a result of the rising

hot air in the ue when the re has been lit.

The posion, height and size of the ue can

aect the performance of the dra. Refer to

installaon guide for details.

Factors aecng the ue dra include:

• insucient height

• exterior obstrucons cause turbulence

• high and gusty winds

• outside temperature and weather

condions

• blocked ue

RUNNING THE APPLIANCE

ASH REMOVAL

BURNING TIPS

If a ue/chimney re occurs:

close top and boom air slides fully to

smother the re.

do not use the appliance unl an accredited

installer has assessed the cause and damage

that may have occurred.

Glass in door blackening

• Cause - burning unseasoned wood (too

wet) Soluon - burn hardwood not more

than 20% moisture.

• Cause - top air slide closed and a long

burn cycle at low temperature. Soluon -

aer re-stoked operate at high heat.

• Cause - insucient ue dra. (installed

correctly, correct length, poor posion

causing downdra). Soluon - contact

installer.

Trouble starng a re

• Cause - not enough ash in rebox base.

Soluon - always retain at least 1cm of

ash

Glass in the door cracking

• Cause - possible over ghtening of the

screws on the stainless steel strip glass

retainer. Cause - possible expansion of

the cast iron door. Cause - loading the

rebox with oversized logs.

It is recommended that a thorough check of

the ue is done prior to the season for any

build-ups (creosote) or any obstrucons.

To do this:

• remove the bae plate (see Replacement

of Baes)

• using a small mirror and a torch hold

the mirror on a angle below the ue

inside the rebox. A ne black powdery

layer is normal, anything than this needs

removing.

• ret the bae

To clean the ue:

• a ue cleaning brush can be purchased

from the dealer.

• with the baes removed and a rope

aached to the ue brush, it should be

dropped from top of the ue (exterior)

and pulled through the rebox.

• recheck the ue with mirror/torch.

• repeat if necessary.

• remove any buildup from within the

rebox.

• replace the baes.

• check the ue joins are secure for

integrity.

• Alternavely a ue cleaning service can

be sought to undertake the cleaning.

• The appliance, when cool can be cleaned

with a damp cloth.

• Stove Bright metallic black paint can be

used to touch up any faded areas.

• To clean the glass door, it is suggested

that house hold window cleaner or a

general purpose cleaner with a so cloth

is used.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, scourer pads or

wire brush.

FLUE / CHIMNEY FIRE FLUE CLEANING

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

CLEANING PAINT WORK & GLASS

The purpose of the rebricks in the appliance

is to increase thermal mass and to guarantee

the longevity of the steel rebox. Over me

the rebricks may become cracked and

crumble away. If so, then they should be

replaced soon aer.

To replace the rebricks:

• Move any ash away from the base of the

bricks.

• Raise the brick retainer so that the bricks

can be removed.

• Replace with new bricks, and ret brick

retainer.

Firebrick conguraon:

• Base of the rebox has 2 outside rows of

full bricks measuring 234 x 118 x 40mm

and a centre row which are shorter in

width measuring 200 x 115 x 40mm

• Sides of rebox have 8 full bricks standing

on their ends.

• Back of rebox is lined with 5 full bricks

standing on their ends.

• Remove the side and rear re bricks

before ng the brick retainer.

• With the retainer orientated with the

arms poinng up (like a square ‘U’ shape),

push one end into the back corner of the

rebox.

• With the retainer in a diagonal orientaon

relave to the rebox, lt the top slightly

forward allowing the boom corner to

drop into the rebox at the front.

• Push the boom front corner towards

the back of the rebox allowing the top

of the arm to enter the rebox.

• Connue pushing the boom corner

towards rear of rebox so that retainer

sits at in the rebox.

• Raise the retainer and re-install the re

bricks.

REPLACEMENT OF FIREBRICKS REPLACEMENT OF BRICK RETAINER

MAINTENANCE and SERVICING

The MEGA LE is ed with two thick steel

bae plates which help to retain the heat

in the rebox by lengthening the path of the

ame as well as protect the top plate of the

heater.

Over me, the bae may begin to sag a lile

due to the excessive heat. This will not aect

the way the re burns.

Eventually the bae will burn through (5+

years) and if so will need to be replaced.

To remove the bae plates:

• Lower bae plate 500(w) x 300(d) x 12(h)

mm :- raise the rear of the bae plate,

slide forward free from the support lugs,

and out through the door opening.

• Upper bae plate 490(w) x 245(d) x 6(h)

mm :- slide bae plate forward, free

from the support lugs and out through

the door opening.

• Repeat steps i) to iii) in reverse to replace

with the new bae plates.

• The ash plate acts to protect the front of

the rebox below the door opening from

the hot coal bed and re.

• When posioning the ash plate, ensure

that the front top edge is ush against

the inside edge of the rebox beneath

the door opening.

• This task may be easier with the door

removed from the appliance and laid

horizontally on a work-bench.

• Remove any old seal from the door.

• Clean out the groove in the door that the

seal was bedded in using a at-end screw

driver or equivalent.

• Run a thin bead of clear roof and guer

silicone along the groove.

• Starng at one end, press the new door

seal rope into the groove on the door.

• Ret the door if it has been removed and

close.

ADJUSTING THE DOOR LATCH

This task may be easier with the door removed

from the appliance and laid horizontally. To

replace the door glass:

• Two stainless steel strips hold the glass in

place. Remove the four M4 size Phillips

head screws from the stainless steel

strips.

• Take out the glass, and check if the grey

rope beneath needs replacing. If so

replace this rope as well.

• Posion the new glass on top of the grey

rope and re-t the stainless steel strips

and M4 screws.

• Take extra care not to over-ghten the

screws, otherwise the glass will crack

when the heater gets hot and the door

expands.

• On occasion, the M4 screws will have

deteriorated from the constant heat in

the rebox resulng in them snapping o

when trying to loosen them. In this case,

a new hole can be drilled in the door and

tapped using a 3.4mm drill bit, and M4

tap.
