OTHER RULES REGARDING HEAT IN YOUR INSTALLATION
When igniting a fireplace three types of heat are emitted from it. These
three types have different requirements to be taken into account.
6�3�1
RADIATION
Radiation is the pleasant warmth we all like when thinking about a
fireplace.
When the fireplace is turned on, heat radiation will escape through the
ceramic glass and metal exterior of the fireplace and will heat up the
environment. Therefore it is important that
•
A minimal distance between the ceramic glass and any flammable
material in front of the fireplace is 40cm.
Floor protection
Between the device and the ground a minimal distance of 10cm is to be
taken into account. The temperature of the floor under the device needs
be less than 85°C and the floor of the conversion around the fireplace
is to be constructed of non-flammable materials. If necessary the floor
is to be covered with an insulation layer to protect it from unauthorized
temperatures.
It is also allowed to position the fireplace on an elevated platform. The
platform also needs to meet the requirements for a safe installation.
6�3�2
CONVECTION
The majority of the heat produced by Element4 fireplaces is quickly
given of to the air around the fireplace. Convection is this transfer of
heat through air.
Because most of the fireplace is installed inside of the construction of
an enclosure, most of the air surrounding the fireplace warmed up, is
located inside the enclosure.
Hot air will rise up in the enclosure (see
Figure 6.5
|), also between the
wall covers as in
Figure 6.3
| and
Figure 6.4
|. If nothing would be done,
the hot air would expand up to the point that your enclosure will tear
or break. Therefore several precautions need to be taken into account,
Hot air outlets / ventilation grills
To leave out the hot air at the top of the enclosure ventilation opening
are necessary (
Figure 6.5
|). The ventilation grills are to be placed at a
minimal distance of 20cm from the ceiling and 30cm from any built-in
furniture from the side, any flammable material or load-bearing concrete
parts.
False ceiling
To avoid heat accumulation in the cove a non-flammable false ceiling
may be placed above the grilles. The ventilation grilles need to be easy
to clean at all times.
6�3�3
ELECTRICAL PIPES
The conversion has to be free of the usual electric installation pipes, if
these are not protected against temperatures over 30°C by the necessary
precautions. Special pipelines with an heightened heat resistance are
permitted.
6�3�4
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
This appliance is meant for indoor use. In the case that an Element4
appliance is to be installed as part of an indoor outdoor construction,
or anywhere in direct contact with outdoor circumstances, a
number of safety precautions are to be taken into account.
For more information on an (semi-)outdoor installation of an Element4
product please contact your dealer.
