INSTALLATION MANUAL
7 ATTENTION POINTS GAS FLUE
To guarantee the fire safety regarding you flue gas configuration
a casing is necessary. For this case non-combustible materials
should be used. Make sure to ventilate a shaft and never to
insulate it, to make sure the hot air is able to get away.
Every transit or terminal should be made such, that the warmth-
insulation and non-combustability is guaranteed, according to
the building regulation.
7.1 Installation of flue material
Follow the following instrucions for the installation of flue
materials;
•
Drill a hole of 100/125 mm for the roof transit and an
additional 10mm around.
•
Keep a distance of at least 5 mm between the outside of the
pipes and the wall or ceiling (
Figure 6.3
).
•
Provide a (fire) safe transit construction in wall, floor or roof
sheeting
•
Build the system from the fireplace.
•
Assemble pipes in the correct direction! The inner pipe goes
into and the outer pipe goes over the fireplace connection.
•
Make sure the tubes are suff iciently braced, so the weight of
the tubes are not supported on the hearth.
•
The pipes could come loose due to expansion and cooling
down. It is recommended that a chuck parker be used in
places that are inaccessible aft er installation.
7.1.1 Adapting the length of the chimney
Not all parts can be adjusted! To fit the drainage system correctly,
you are to use an adjustable fitting. You can use an adjustable
pipe and roof fitting.

8 INSTALLATION CHECK AND FIRST USAGE
8.1 Renovation/new construction
When firing up the device for the first time, make sure the device
burns for several hours on the highest level, to ensure the lacker
to harden. Make sure the device is ventilated enough so the
possible released fumes are being abducted. We advice to be as
little in the room as possible during this process.
Because a fireplace is a heat source, natural convection will
occur around it. Solid particles in the circulating air may burn
and settle down on cold surfaces, causing discoloration.
Discoloration is an annoying problem and it is diff icult to solve.
These particles can come from construction moisture or
cigarette smoke, but also they might be volatile components in
paint, construction materials or carpeting. For newly constructed
chimneys or aft er a big reconstruction, it is advised to wait a
minimum of six weeks before firing a fireplace.
8.2 Checking the gas lines
To be able to check on the gas lines, it is necessary to have the
right equipment. If necessary take out the glass of the device
and use the measuring point (see
figure 8.1
), to check the supply
pressure on the gas pipes.
A = Supply pressure
B = Burner pressure
Make sure the cables of the ignition are hanging loosely under
the device, to ensure a good ignition. Remove any tie wraps or
other cable binders.
Check the pilot for obstructions and check the air tightness of
the system. Technical specifications can be found in
