Installation instructions
• Never position the appliance directly against the rear wall, but always in accordance
with the installation instructions in chapter; CLEARANCES. Use only the specifi ed
insulation plates!
• Never use combustible materials during the installation.
•
Ventilate the fi replace, by allowing vents above and below the fi replace.
• During installation of the appliance, a clearance of 0.12” (3 mm) should be
maintained on all sides of the appliance to allow for expansion of the appliance
during operation.
•
Do not insulate the appliance! Only the top and sides may be fi tted with a strip of
white, loose insulation wool (heat-resistant to 1832°F (1000°C)), width 6” (15 cm)
max. to protect the wall.
• Do not use fi breglass or Rockwool, or any other sort of insulating material. These
emit a pungent odour. This is considered extremely unpleasant. They may also
cause discolouring of the column.
• Flammable materials, such as curtains, should not be placed in the vicinity of the
appliance. Minimum safe distance: 40” (100 cm).
If desired, fi t a convection package to the appliance. (See pre-installation instructions)
IMPORTANT:
• The appliance must be constructed on a suffi ciently solid fl oor that can
bear the weight of the appliance.
• Ensure a free space of at least 0.4 in (1 cm) between the bottom of the
appliance and the fl oor.
• Ensure that the temperature of the fl oor under and in front of the
appliance can never rise above 185 °F (85°C)! Make use of a temperature
protection plate (of noncombustible material) on the fl oor if necessary.
• Take care with a fl oor made of a combustible material.
• Refer for the minimum clearances to (non)combustible material to the
“clearances” chapter elsewhere in this manual.
