Placing/ finishing the surround
Test the Fairo, if possible, before completely finishing the surround
(section 5.2).
The coefficient of expansion of the Fairo and the surround differ. For this
reason, to prevent cracks appearing in the plasterwork or any other
damage, ensure the Fairo and the surround do not touch. The material
used for the surround must be heat resistant and fireproof. There must
be no combustible materials in the vicinity of the Fairo. Material,
plasterwork and wallpaper used to decorate the wall (especially above
the appliance) must be heat resistant.
A heat protection plate is mounted at
the front of the Fairo to ensure the
surround is cooled properly. Ensure
that air is exhausted into the same
pressure area. The opening used to
extract the air must have a surface
area of 2*150*100mm (150 cm²).
Discoloration of walls, ceilings and gratings
Once the Fairo is ignited, burnt dust particles can cause the walls,
ceilings and gratings to discolour. This is a natural process, which
Kal-fire cannot be held liable for. This is why we advise you to
follow the guidelines set by the fire-place gilde, in order to limit
the discoloration to a minimum.
