Precautions and user instructions
These instructions, applicable standards and relevant safety procedures from the manufacturer must be
followed and at the same time the official provisions in force in the country, where the product is installed,
must be observed.
System type
Gas fireplaces and individual gas-fired boilers used in private dwellings normally operate in a relatively
stable environment, where no major pressure fluctuations occur. However, to secure an optimal use of the
Exodraft system speed adjustments and adjustment of air intakes are required depending on the weather
outside and on the stage of the firing process.
Gas fireplaces and individual gas-fired boilers used in restaurants are exposed to major pressure changes
due to factors like the constant opening/closing of doors, kitchen exhaust fans pulling out air, etc. In an
environment like this spillage of smoke can easily occur.
The fan must be connected to an Exodraft control type EFC21.
Precautions
Be aware that it
•
RSG/C should not be mounted directly on a timber wall or any other walls of inflammable material.
•
The silencer and the flue pipe should not be in contact with any inflammable material when it is instal-
led in the wall.
•
When the fan is installed in a timber framed house, the recommendations of Institute of Gas Engineers
publication UP-7 ”Gas installations in timber framed buildings” should be observed.
•
RSG and RSGC fans are not to be installed with solid fuel appliances.
•
With DFE fireplace installations above 7kW input, an airbrick or similar fresh air inlet must be fitted in
the room in which the fireplace is installed and must have an area of not less than 100 cm
2
(15.5 in
2
).
The air vent must be either direct to outside air or to an adjacent room which itself has a vent direct to
outside air of at least the same area.
•
The fan unit should be located on the external wall so it gets a minimum exposure to prevailing wind
conditions.
•
The fan unit should be situated at a place, which alow the exhaust gasses to evacuate to surrrounding
air.
•
Due to the risk of hot surfaces, it is required according to EN294 that a terminal guard is used on the
external wall where the fan is installed in frequented areas below 2.7 m (9 ft) from the ground level.
The fan has a label warning of hot surfaces.
ATTENTION! It is always recommended to install a
smoke alarm in connection with a wood fired installation.
