GENERAL
  • The Braemar WF30/40 series wall furnace is suitable for replacement of a wide range of
existing wall furnaces without modification to the wall opening, and with minimal or no
modification to the existing flue system (provided the flue system is satisfactory as
specified under "Flue System" on page 3 of the attached installation manual).
  • The Braemar WF30/40 series wall furnace is NOT suitable for replacement of fully-recessed
wall furnaces that are installed into a double-brick wall.
IMPORTANT
  • The WF30 wall furnace is intended for domestic applications and replacement of older
wall furnaces. Due to its higher thermal efficiency and improved air distribution, it is suitable
for replacement of older 40 MJ/hr models.
  • The WF40 wall furnace is suitable for heating very large areas and is not generally                                                                                                                                               recommended for “normal” domestic applications due to the higher air flow rates. 

INSTALLATION
  • Remove the existing wall furnace.
  • Remove the existing mounting brackets.
  • Fit the Braemar mounting brackets supplied with the heater                                                                                                                                                                                              as per the dimensions given on  page 4 or 5 of the attached installation manual. 
  • Complete the heater installation as per a new installation.
  • Note that if the existing flue system is to be used it must comply with the current
requirements of AS/NZS5601 "Gas installations".
