On-site requirements 6.
It is necessary to check on-site circumstances such as the bearing capacity of the floor before the
installation. Depending on the model, the total weight of the fireplace insert (including cladding) may
be up to 600 kg.
If it is not possible to evaluate the bearing capacity of the floor (wooden beam ceilings, for
instance), then a structural engineer should be consulted. Flammable floor coverings must be
protected by a covering of non-flammable materials in front of the opening to the
combustion chamber.
The covering should extend at least 50 cm to the front and at least 30 cm to each side,
measured from the opening to the combustion chamber or inspection glass.
See Chapter 13 for the distances to the rear and sides between the Vita System and any materials
which are flammable or require protection. Fire safety. You can find information on the chimney
configuration in the installation instructions of the fireplace insert in question
.
Storage medium material 7.
Vita Systems are made up of a heat-resistance storage medium and exhibit the typical characteristics
of concrete in terms of surface and appearance. In spite of great care taken during production and
transport, slight irregularities, small cracks or rough edges cannot be completely eliminated and are
no reason to file a complaint. All storage elements are produced in accordance with the
requirements of exposed storage class SB2 and are inspected prior to delivery by in-house quality
assurance to ensure they are in good condition.
Surface 8.
• Repair of minor damage
The Vita System comes with a repair set of storage medium for rectifying minor damage such as
chips or hairline cracks. To use properly, stir the storage medium with water until a dense
consistency has been reached. Before applying it with a spatula, dampen the surfaces to be worked
on so that the materials can achieve a permanent connection.

Surface design
The surfaces of Vita Systems can be refined with commercially available silicate paints or plaster
materials, as desired. Make sure to select a wall covering which is able to continuously withstand
temperatures of over 150°C.
The system should only be coated 24 hours after assembly to make sure that all of the glue
connections have hardened. If any surfaces were spackled over beforehand, they must be smoothed
out with fine sandpaper.
