3 Installation requirements
Note: Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of
importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home. Due to
the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building materials,
carpet etc. will be attracted to the lit appliance. These components can settle onto cold
surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed too
near the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind when
installing the appliance.
3.1 False chimney breast
The appliance must be installed in a non combustible false chimney breast. For the
dimensions of the appliance, see appendix F.
Keep the following in mind:
•
do not place the appliance on combustible materials or carpets
•
both walls have to be made of non-combustible material (e.g. Promatec).
•
do not place the lintel, surround or marble stone directly onto the appliance. If
possible, apply a lintel made of cement or something similar.
•
always ventilate the space above the appliance. Use a Faber ventilation grid.
•
to avoid cracking, the plaster has to dry for at least 1 day per millimetre plaster
•
to avoid discolouring the plaster has to be heat resistant to min. 100°C.
•
try to remove the glass in all building situations.
