3. SAFETY
3.1 General
!Caution
•
Please observe the generally applicable regulations and precautions/safety instruction in this manual.
•
First check the exact technical version of the appliance to be installed in Appendix 2, Table 2.
3.2 Regulations
Please install the appliance in accordance with the applicable national, local and constructional (installation)
regulations.
3.3 Precautions / safety instructions during installation
Carefully observe the following precautions/safety regulations:
Ø
You should only install and maintain the appliance if you are a certified and competent installer in the field of
gas-fired heating.
Ø
Do not make any changes to the appliance.
Ø
If you are installing an appliance that must be built in;
•
use non combustible and heat-resistant material for the chimney breast, including the top of the chimney
breast, the material inside the chimney breast and the back wall against which the appliance will be placed.
For this you can use both sheet material and stone-like materials;
•
take sufficient measures to prevent high temperatures of the wall behind the chimney breast, including the
materials and/or objects that are behind the wall;
•
comply with the minimum required internal measurements of the chimney breast;
•
vent the chimney breast by means of ventilation holes with a combined passage as stated further down in
the text. When placing an appliance with open combustion (type B
11 AS/BS
), no chimney breast ventilation is
required, as there is an existing chimney with a brickwork fireplace that is sufficiently able to absorb the heat;
•
use heat-resistant electric connections and make sure that they do not make contact with the appliance;
Ø
If you are installing an appliance with open combustion: please use a suitable flue gas discharge system provided
with the CE label, and make sure there is sufficient ventilation of the room where the appliance is installed,
according to legislation.
Ø
If you are installing an appliance with a closed combustion: only use the concentric systems supplied by DRU.
Ø
If you are installing a free-standing appliance:
•
place the appliance away from the back wall by the minimum distance stated further down in the text;
•
make sure you observe the minimum distance in relation to the side wall(s) and the space above the
appliance (see Appendix 3, fig. 2).
Ø
Do not cover the appliance and/or do not wrap it in an insulation blanket or any other material.
Ø
Unless stated otherwise: make sure that combustible objects and/or materials have a distance from the appliance
of at least 500 mm.
Ø
Only use the accompanying wood/pebble set and place it exactly as described.
Ø
The space surrounding the pilot burner, 2nd thermocouple or ionisation pins must remain free.
Ø
Make sure there is no dirt in gas pipes and connections.
Ø
Place a gas tap in accordance with applicable regulations.
Ø
Prior to putting into operation, check the complete installation for gastightness.
Ø
If your appliance is provided with explosion hatches on its top, you must make sure that they cannot be blocked
and check whether they fit well onto the sealing surface, prior to building in the appliance.
Ø
Do not ignite the appliance before the gas and discharge connections have been fully installed, first observe the
procedure described in chapter 7.3.
Ø
Replace broken or torn glass panes.
Ø
The appliance was designed for atmospheric and heating purposes. This means that all visible surfaces, including
the glass pane, can become hotter than 100C°. It is recommended to always place a protective grating in front of
the appliance when there are children, elderly people or handicapped persons in the same room as the appliance.
If it is possible that vulnerable people are regularly present in the room with no supervision, a fixed guard should
be mounted around the appliance.
!Caution
In case of broken or torn glass panes, the application may not be used.
