INSTALLATION MANUAL
6 FIRE SAFE INSTALLATION
To install a gas fireplace as safely as possible, several installation
preparations need to be made. This overview can be used to
assure the fire safety of a conversion of a fireplace.
Before commencing Installation, confirm that the details on
the appliance data plate correspond to the local distribution
conditions, gas type and pressure to which the appliance is to
be installed.
Ensure that gas supply and supply pipe is capable of delivering
the required volume and pressure of gas and is in accordance
with the rules in force.
6.1 Fire safety device set-up
Install the device such that there are no flammable materials
around the device or chimney. The device must never be placed
against a back wall of flammable materials.
Flammable materials, such as wood, can combust at a
temperature of 85°C. At high temperatures this can happen
within several minutes (over 200°C) or at lower temperatures
(more than 85°C) this may occur over a period of weeks.
A gas fireplace can achieve temperatures of over 200°C.
Therefore one should use only non-flammable materials around
the fireplace and in the cove.
It is important to follow the installation regulations below
carefully. When the regulations are insuff iciently- or not provided
with the aspects of fire safety, the instructions according to NPR
3378-20:2010 are leading.
