6. SAFETY
· Please read this installation instructions completely before beginning installation procedures.
Failure to follow them could cause a fi replace malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or
property damage.
· Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation of the chimney.
· Failure to follow these instructions will void the certifi cation and the warranty of the fi replace and
may result in an unsafe installation.
· Before servicing, allow the fi replace to cool. Always shut off any electricity to the fi replace while
working on it. This will prevent any possible electrical shock or burns.
· Any COMBUSTION consumes AIR.
From the gap at an entry door threshold to the direct outside air intake, everyone must choose the
solution best adapted to the installation to compensate the slight consumption of air. Never create a
depression in the room where the appliance is installed.
DO NOT SEAL ALL THE AIR INTAKES.
IF AN EXTRACTION FAN CANNOT BE AVOIDED IN THE SAME PREMISES, AN
ADEQUATE AIR INTAKE MUST BE PROVIDED TO AVOID ANY DEPRESSION.
An outdoor air intake can be directly connected to the convection air inlet under the appliance. This
outdoor air inlet cannot be bigger than 32sq inches (50% of air inlet for convection) in order not to
reduce the temperature of the fi replace too much. If the outdoor temperature is very low, the outdoor
air inlet could need to be reduced. With such an installation, any depression in the room will be
naturally compensated by the external air inlet.
· In the case of masonry, it is FORBIDDEN to place masonry on the top of the Optifi re. The appliance
is not load bearing.
· WITH OR WITHOUT A FAN, an AIR INLET of MINIMUM 65 SQUARE INCHES (example: 2’’
x 32.5’’ or 6’’ x 12’’) under the appliance is MANDATORY to allow a correct cooling of appliance.
