1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
The installation may only be carried out by an authorised
person.
1.1 General instructions
•
The gas fireplace must be installed, connected and
inspected as a closed unit by a qualified fitter, according
to national, regional, and local standards and regulations.
•
The flue tube system and the outlets in the outer wall or
roof face must also meet the requirements outlined in
the applicable standards and regulations.
•
The temperature of the walls near the side and back of
the unit may not be more than 80°C higher than the ambient
temperature.
•
The unit has been approved in combination with the
concentric flue system THC/Holetherm CC Ø100/Ø150mm
in accordance with European CE standards for gas units,
and may therefore only be applied with this system.
•
The unit needs to be inspected by the fitter for local gas
distribution (gas type and gas pressure) as indicated on
the identification plate.
•
The instructions are only applicable if the relevant country
code is stated on the unit.
•
If this is not the case, the gas technical information for the
relevant country needs to be consulted and modifications
discussed with the manufacturer.
•
There will be air in the gas pipes when the unit is first used.
The gas pipes therefore need to be vented first.
•
Ignite the heater according to operating instructions and
check whether the burner flame is uniform. After the unit
has been used for the first time, any deposits resulting
from convection-curing of the unit must be removed from
the glass pane using a glass cleaner for heaters.
Distance from flammable materials:
A distance of 1200mm must be maintained from the front,
side and top of the unit to curtains, coverings and fabrics,
and/or other combustible material unless otherwise stated
in this instruction.
Distance to non-flammable materials:
The unit needs to be placed a minimum distance of 50mm
from the wall unless stated otherwise in these instructions.
WARNING
Gas fires become hot when in use. After installation of the
unit, the glass surface is considered to be an active zone.
The glass surface can become very hot!
NOTE
Therefore, you should take care by, for example, keeping
children and those requiring help away from the immediate
vicinity of burning fires. Gas fires must not be placed on or
against flammable materials (curtains, etc.).
2 INSTALLING THE UNIT
NOTE
Before putting the unit in place, we recommend you first
read Chapter
8 Concentric flue system
.
2.1 Connection to the gas pipes
You can determine where the gas pipes will be placed, dependent
on the layout. Ensure control equipment is not twisted during
installation and there is no excessive tension. Accessibility of
various connection points in relation to components needs to be
maintained. After installation, check the connection seals are gas-
tight. Use a 3/8″ gas tap with a connector. Ensure the gas pipes
are free of dirt and soil or sand and that the gas and combustion
controls in the various components and all appliance functions
operate correctly. The gas supply should only be connected up
when the electricity supply is disconnected.
Failing to do so may cause damage to the gas control equipment.
2.2 Preparation and placement
The fireplace is delivered in a crate
.
