pressure and it is necessary to install a non-
closable outside-air inlet with a section of
at least 90 cm².
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.
The appliance comes with wheels to
help move it into position. In order to
move it, it is necessary to make sure that
the support legs are raised by turning them
with the aid of a spanner. Once in position,
lower the legs until the appliance is at the
desired height.
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-

materials

From the right-hand side 200
From the left-hand side 200
From the rear 300
From the front 1000
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 glass/es is/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; the lower deflector has
four positions with which to open or
close the flue to a greater or lesser
extent. On the NON-BASIC version of
Itaca, make sure that the flue damper
flapper valve works properly. When the
guillotine door is raised, the flapper
rotates to allow for greater smoke
evacuation to avoid smoke entering the
room. When the door is closed, the
flapper returns to its horizontal
position, acting as a flue damper.
•
Remove the bolts securing the
counterweights before trying to close
the guillotine door: when you remove
ITACA fireplace models from their
packaging, you will see that the door is
open at its highest position and cannot
be lowered. This is because the
counterweights are secured with M6
bolts on the 2 front legs at the bottom
of the appliance so that they do not
swing and damage the appliance during
transportation. Do not try to move the
door before removing the bolts that
secure the counterweights
