Installation
3.1
Important information
B
Before installing, call the gas company and check the
standard relating to gas heaters and ventilation
requirements for rooms.
B
Install a gas cut-off valve as close as possible to the
heater.
B
After finishing the gas system, the pipes must be
thoroughly cleaned and leak-tested; to avoid
damaging the gas automatic by excess pressure, this
test must be performed with the gas valve of the
heater closed.
B
Check if the heater corresponds to the type of gas
provided.
B
Check if the flow and pressure through the installed
reducer are appropriate for the consumption of the
heater (see technical data in the table 4).

Selection
of
the
place
of
installation
Requirements regarding the place of installation
• Do not install the heater in rooms with a volume of
less than 8 m
3
(not including the volume of the
furniture providing this does not exceed 2 m
3
.
• Comply with the specific instructions for each
country.
• Assemble the gas heater in a well-ventilated location
where it will not be exposed to temperatures below
zero and in a place where there is an evacuation pipe
for combustion gases.
• The gas heater must not be installed over a heat
source.
• To avoid corrosion, the combustion air must be free
from harmful substances. Examples of particularly
corrosive substances: halogenated hydrocarbons
contained in solvents, paints, glues, engine gases
and various domestic detergents. If necessary, take
adequate measures.
• Respect the minimum installation clearances
indicated in Fig. 4.
• The heater must not be installed in locations where
the room temperature can reach 0 °C.
In case of a frost risk:
B
Turn the heater off
B
Remove batteries
B
Purge the heater (see section 6.3).
Fig. 4
Minimum clearances
Combustion gases
• All gas heaters must be connected in a leak-roof
manner to a gas evacuation pipe of adequate
dimensions.
• The flue must:
– be vertical (reduced horizontal sections or no
horizontal sections at all)
– be thermally insulated
– have an exit above the maximum roof level
• A flexible or rigid pipe should be used, fit it inside the
flue socket. The external diameter of the pipe should
be slightly smaller than the dimension specified in the
appliances dimensions table.
• The extremity of the evacuation pipe must be
protected against wind/rain.
i
The gas installation, the connection of ex-
haust/supply pipes as well as the initial
startup are to be performed exclusively by
authorised gas fitters.
i
The heater can only be used in the coun-
tries indicated on the rating plate.
Caution:
Ensure that the extremity of
the evacuation pipe is placed between
the ledge and the ring of the flue.
