Thank you for purchasing a GODIN fireplace insert. 

This appliance was designed and thoroughly tested in order to ensure total satisfaction to our 
customers. Yet an appropriate installation will be necessary, and an appropriate flue outlet 
connected to a chimney, which will guarantee sufficient draught flow capacity. It is of course 
preferable that this appliance be installed by an installation professional, who knows of all 
relevant codes of practice and safety regulations and can guarantee flawless installation. 

 WARNING

: most values indicated in this instruction manual (safety distances, flue pipe 

diameters, draught etc) are directly drawn from French regulations, standards and codes of 
practice.  Imperial unit conversions of all figures are given for the sole purpose of general 
guidance.  Particular care should be given to national or local manufacturing standards and 
safety or installation regulations. 

1.

 

Particulars for the electrical connection (units with fans) 

a.

 

Any electrical connection must conform to the local regulations. 

b.

 

The electrical connection to the power cable of the unit, should be done by 
means of an electrical junction box. 

c.

 

If the heater cable is damaged in any way, it should be replaced. 

d.

 

The cable and junction box should be appropriately insulated in order to 
withstand heat. 
 

2.

 

The installation position: 

a.

 

Before installing the unit in the chimney, ensure that it is not damaged in any 
way.  

b.

 

Ensure that the unit’s weight will be well supported by the base or floor beneath 
it. The unit cannot be installed without a sufficiently adequate weight-supporting 
base. 

c.

 

All combustible materials which may be affected by temperature must be 
suitably insulated. 

d.

 

It is recommended that all materials (wood, wall paper, material, furniture) are 
at least at 1.5m distance from the front door glass. Heat radiation through the 
front door glass is high.
