Safety
Please note: All safety regulations must be
complied with strictly.
Carefully read the instructions for installation,
use and maintenance before you start using
the appliance.
The appliance must be installed in accordance
with the laws and requirements of your
country.
All local regulations and the regulations relating
to national and European standards must be
observed when installing the appliance.
Read the instructions for installation, use and
maintenance supplied with the appliance.
It is preferable to have the appliance installed
by an authorized and competent installation
company. They will be aware of the applicable
regulations and requirements.
The appliance is designed for heating
purposes. All surfaces, including the glass and
the connecting tube, can get very hot (over
100°C)! For operation, use a so-called "cold
hand" or an oven glove.
Don't place any curtains, clothes, laundry or
other combustible materials on or near the
appliance.
Don't use flammable or explosive substances
near the appliance when it is in use.
Avoid a chimney fire by having the chimney
swept regularly. Never burn wood with an open
door.
In the case of a chimney fire: close all air inlets
of the appliance and alert the fire brigade.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use the appliance again.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the
room where the appliance is installed. The
combustion will be incomplete in case of
insufficient ventilation, which results in toxic
gases being produced and spread through the
room. See the chapter "Installation
requirements" for more information on
ventilation.
Installation
requirements
General
The appliance must be connected tightly to a well-
functioning chimney.
For the connection measurements: see the
appendix "Technical data".
Ask the fire brigade and/or your insurance
company about any specific requirements and
regulations.
Flue or chimney
The flue or chimney is needed for:
Disposing of the combustion gases through natural
draught.
The warm air in the flue or chimney is lighter
than the outside air so it rises.
The intake of air, needed for the combustion of fuel
in the appliance.
A poorly functioning flue or chimney can cause smoke
to escape into the room when the door is opened.
Damage caused by smoke emissions into the room is
not covered by the warranty.
Do not connect multiple appliances (such as a
boiler for central heating) to the same flue,
unless local or national regulations allow this.
Ask your installer for advice regarding the flue. Refer
to the European norm EN13384 for a correct
calculation for the flue.
The flue must satisfy the following
requirements
