INSTALLATION NOTICE
Preparation
– Arrangements
It is important to check the fireplace upon receipt and to ensure the absence of any
damage during transport.
Dimensions of the recess
The recess, i.e. the volume around the fireplace, has to contain the appliance while
providing an additional space of at least 5 mm (left, right, and above the fireplace) in order
to accommodate expansion. There must be no masonry against the fireplace.
Ventilation around the fireplace
It is necessary to ventilate the recess with an air inlet in the base and air outlet at the top
in order to reduce the temperature of the walls and to recover it in your home.
Insulation of the fireplace
The materials used must be non-inflammable. The temperature of smoke to the chimney
being able to reach 300° to 400°, this one could cause a combustion of not isolated
combustible materials.
Provide high-temperature insulation around the fireplace to protect certain materials. In this
case we advise protecting the back, sides and top of the appliance. If no insulation has been
provided, it is recommended keeping a distance of 15 cm from inflammable materials and 15
cm from non-inflammable materials.
Your installer can advise you regarding the protection to be provided. Still with regard to
protection, your installer can also provide a floor plate in front of the insert in order to guard
against the ejection of embers.
Fireplace base
We recommend placing the appliance on a solid flat surface with sufficient strength to
support the weight of the fireplace and the chimney flue. We also advise you to make the
appliance firmer with a wall in order to increase the stability of the fireplace.
The fireplace can be installed at different heights with the help of legs. In the event of an
installation without ventilation, the fireplace must not be placed on the floor. The convection
air intake under the fireplace must not be obstructed.
