INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER 

 

 

2.  

2.2.2.

 

Location of the appliance in the 

room 

Choose  a  location  in  the  room  which 

favours  good  hot-air  distribution  by 
convection and radiation. 

2.3.

 

Installation of the appliance 

2.3.1.

 

Floor 

Make sure  that the  base  can withstand 

the  total  constructed  weight  of  the 
appliance and its casing. 

When  the  floor  surface  (base)  is 

combustible, fit suitable insulation. 

2.3.2.

 

Safety distances 

Be  sure  to  respect  the  appliance 

installation  distances  from 

combustible 

materials

.  Looking  at  the  appliance  head-

on:

 

 

Distance to 

combustible  

materials 

(mm)  

From the right-hand side 

800 

From the left-hand side 

800 

From the rear 

non 

combustible 

materials 

From the front 

1300 

Bear  in  mind  that  it  may  even  be 

necessary  to  protect  non-combustible 
material  in  order  to  prevent  breakage, 
deformation,  etc.,  as  a  result  of 
overheating 

if 

the 

non-combustible 

material is not  designed to withstand high 
temperatures.  

2.3.3.

 

Checks before lighting for the first 

time 

 

Make  sure  that  the  glasses  are 
not broken or damaged. 

 

Make  sure  that  the  flueway  is 
not  obstructed  with  packing  or 
loose parts. 

 

Make  sure  that  the  airtight 
joints  on  the  flue  circuit  are  in 
perfect condition. 

 

Make  sure  that  the  doors  close 
properly. 

 

Make sure that all moving parts 
are fitted in place. 

 

Check  that  the  two  deflectors 
are fitted properly. 

2.3.4.

 

Height adjustment and levelling the 

appliance 

The  appliance  must  be  perfectly  level, 

horizontally  and  vertically,  both  at  the 
front and on the sides (use a spirit level). 

2.3.5.

 

Connection to the flue 

The appliance must be connected to the 

chimney flue  using special piping designed 
to  resist  the  products  of  combustion  (e.g. 
stainless steel, enamelled steel, etc.). 

To connect the flue to the socket flange, 

insert the piping inside the flange and seal 
the joint with fire sealant or fire cement to 
make it completely airtight. 

The  installer must  ensure  that  the  pipe 

connected to the appliance is well secured 
and  there  is  no  chance  of  it  coming  free 
from  its  housing  (e.g.  as  a  result  of 
dilatation due to temperature, etc.). 

On this appliance, the flue socket can be 

fitted on top of the appliance. 

2.4.

 

Chimney flue 

The  chimney  flue  must  comply  with 

present  standards  on  the  installation  of 
chimneys. 

In  rooms  equipped  with  Controlled 

Mechanical  Ventilation,  the  ventilation 
outlet  must  never  be  connected  to  the 
flue. 

The appliance must always have its own 

chimney flue, never sharing a chimney flue 
with another appliance.
