Instruction manual

4. INSTALLATION
When attaching a fireplace to the chimney, you need to
comply with
certain local, national and European
regulations
. A fireplace shall be
mounted by a
qualified expert
who has to make a written report
–
installation report (at the end of this manual). Without such a report the
manufacturer will not acknowledge any warrantee (see Chapter 11).
When unpacking the fireplace,
check for any possible damage
that
might have occurred during transportation. When you notice any damage
on the supplied parts, immediately notify the manufacturer.
At all locations of the fireplace, where components can be attached to
(water, thermic protection, chimney, air pipe…)
inspection openings have
to be mounted to ensure maintenance and servicing.
4.1.
POSITIONING
A spirit level must be used to place the fireplace in a horizontal
position with no incline
.
The bottom part of the fireplace has to be
completely sealed
(height of the concrete base should be at the ash box
guide) so there is no uncontrolled primary air outlet.
Please ensure a
minimum distance between the fireplace and
potentially inflammable objects
like wood, chipboard or cork. If there are
any more inflammable materials near the fireplace, like PVC or
polyurethane compounds, the safety distance has to be twice as big.
The
minimum distance from inflammable surfaces
in front of the
fireplace and behind it has to be 800 mm and 500 mm in other directions.
If you mount your fireplace on inflammable floor materials (
wooden
floors
i.e.), you have to mount the product
on a 60 mm non-inflammable
insulation layer
. The layer has to reach 800 mm in front of the fireplace
and 400 mm away in other directions (Figure 6).
