INSTALLATION
2.1
POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE
Important:
•
Never use combustible materials during the installation. The
appliance may not be installed against a fl ammable rear wall.
•
During installation of the gas fi re, a clearance of 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 1000°C), width 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 chimney.
•
Flammable materials, such as curtains, should not be
placed in the vicinity of the gas fi re.
Minimum safe distance: 100 cm.
•
Position the appliance at least 12 cm above the fl oor height.
Not required with a non combustible fl oor.
•
Ensure that the temperature of the fl oor under and in front
of the appliance can never rise above 85°C!
Make use of a temperature protection plate (of nonfl ammable
material) on the fl oor if necessary.
Take care with a fl oor made of a fl ammable material.
•
Minimum distance between the appliance and a front wooden
fi replace; with a depth of less than 10 cm, is:
* 5 cm on the sides: (min. distance: side appliance - leg
wooden fi replace surround)
* 40 cm at the top: (min. distance: top appliance - bottom
of beam wooden fi replace surround)
The temperature on the underside of the beam of the wooden
fi replace must never exceed 85°C. Optional: insulate the
bottom of the wooden beam with a fi reproof plate.
