4 Preparation and installation instructions
4.1 Gas connection
The gas connection must comply with the
applicable local standards.

Please note!

Provide a flexible gas connection with at
least 0,5m extra length, so that the
control unit can be removed for
installation and service!

Calculate the gas pipe so that no pressure
drop occurs.
We advise using a gas connection directly from the
gas meter to the appliance, with a shut-off valve in
the proximity of the appliance, which must always
be freely accessible. Position the gas connection so
that it is easily accessible for service and the burner
unit can be disassembled at any time.
4.2 Electrical connection
Install a 230VAC/50Hz wall socket near the fireplace
for connecting the Control box FAB1806.
See fig. 2.8 for the wiring diagram:
A = I.T.C. (Intelligent Technical Controller)
B = electronics
C = gas valve
D = solenoid valve
E = LED Symbio module (optional)
F = ignition pin
G = ionization pin
H = power cable
I = configuration plug
4.3 Smart Home installation
The controller can be connected to an external
source, such as a Domotica system, by using a Faber
Interface Unit (article number A9323000).
4.4 Preparing the fireplace

Remove the fireplace from its packaging.
Ensure that the gas supply pipes under the
appliance are not damaged.

Remove the glass and any mouldings, store
them at a safe place and remove the
packaged parts from the fireplace.

Prepare the gas connection on the
regulator.
4.5 Positioning the fireplace
Take into account the installation requirements (see
chapter 3). Place the fireplace at the right place and
level it.
Rough height adjustment:

With the adjustable (optional) legs.
Accurate height adjustment:

With the adjustable feet.
Hanging on the wall
The fireplace can also be mounted on the wall by
using the optional wall bracket set, see attachment
16.9 (article number A9325996).
Therefore remove the existing brackets and use the
supplied spacer for vertical alignment, see fig. 1.4.
4.6 Mounting flue gas exhaust materials
Assemble the flue gas exhaust materials according
to the installation manual supplied with the
appliance! (40011968).

The distance to combustible materials
must be min. 50mm, calculated from
outside of the flue material.

Never start immediately with length-
adjustable concentric flue material on the
appliance.

Horizontal sections should be installed to
allow a slope towards the fireplace
(3 degrees).

Build the system from the fireplace. If this
is not possible you can make use of an
extendable adapter section.

For fitting of the flue system, the 0,5m
length-adjustable pipe must be used. Make
sure that the inner pipe is always 15mm
longer than the outer pipe. Wall- and roof
terminal can also be cut. These
components must be secured with a self-
tapping screw.
4.7 Constructing the false chimney
Before positioning the false chimney, we advise to
perform a functional test with the fireplace as
defined in chapter 7 “Checking the installation”.
False chimney

Construct the false chimney of non-
combustible material in combination with
metal profiles or of masonry/concrete
blocks.

Always use a lintel or reinforcing bars while
bricking the false chimney. They should not
be placed directly on the fireplace.

Make sure that the fireplace never
functions as a load-bearing construction,
because of the expansion of the fireplace
through warmth.
