UNILUX-6 43
Installation instructions
3.3 FITTING
The appliance can be fi tted in the newly-built or existing chimney breast of an open fi re.
When fi tting, both fi re safety and operational safety must be safeguarded. The fi tter is
responsible for this.
General guidelines:
• If there is a wooden beam above the fi tting location, heat must not radiate directly
onto it. An insulation plate must be hung below the beam, leaving an air gap between
it and the beam of at least 1 cm.
• Always use (white) unbound ceramic insulation wool. Bound material (yellow), such
as glass and rock wool, spreads an irritating smell on heating, causes excess smoke
and is unsuitable for high temperatures.
• Before fi tting, remove the door to protect the glass.
Insulation requirements: • temperature resistance
≥
700°C.
• density
≥
80 kg/m 3
3.3.1 Positioning of the appliance
The appliance must be positioned on a concrete surface. If such a surface is not
immediately available, a suffi
ciently solid pedestal of noninfl ammable material should
be built from the creeping space .
Ventilate the empty space in the chimney, by placing v entilation openings at the top and
bottom of the chimney breast.
The total ventilation openings should be at least 450 cm 2 at the bottom of the chimney
breast and also at least 450 cm
2
at the top of the chimney breast.
(Total ventilation openings: 900 cm 2 .)
Attention! : Smaller ventilation openings than prescribed here may
cause damage to the chimney breast.
Always maintain the minimum dimensions of the
ventilation openings!
