Instructions
Prior to connecting the gas log fire, please carefully observe the
following instructions:
•
Connecting of this gas log fire must be carried out exclusively by a
registered installer and this in accordance with the national and/or
local regulations. Before installing the appliance, gas facilities have to
be constructed in accordance with the regulations.
•
Protective devices fitted in the gas log fire and in the gas control unit
may never be switched off in case of a failure, nor may these be
bypassed or altered. Before completion of the appliance, your installer
has to check its correct functioning. Factory-set protective devices
may never be altered.
•
Before connecting the appliance to the gas the pressure on the main
at the appliance has to be checked.
•
If there is a mechanical exhaust system present in the house, this
should be taken into account at the installation, e.g. concerning air
supply and flue evacuation. The regulations for air supply and flue
evacuation are defined in the GAVO(gas installation prescriptions).
According to GAVO most important devices can be classified as
follows:
A.
Naturally ventilated houses
For the required air supply we refer to the national or
local regulations which are dependant of the output of the
appliance. We recommend an air supply of Ø150 mm to
the underside of the burner.
Construction of a controlled flue gas regulator.
The flue tube must discharge into "outlet area I or II", in
accordance with annex 1. If this is not the case than a
fan*, suitable for combustion gasses, has to be fitted on
the flue duct.
B.
In case of mechanical ventilation.
Construction of a lockable and controlled air supply of at
least 15 cm² per kW maximum output.
Construction of a controlled flue gas regulator.
6
Flue gasses have to be evacuated by means of a fan*
designed for flue gasses.
The appliance has to be equipped with a flow protection,
thermal shut off safety or oxistop.
* A fan suitable for evacuation of flue gasses has to be used. Kal-Fire
recommends the EXHAUSTO-RSVG-fans (Inatherm).
1.2
General requirements
A.
The flue must be in an excellent condition, it must be regulary cleaned
and it has tob e made out of heat resistant material. For gas log fires the
flue tube diameter is to be at least Ø180 mm and Ø 250 mm at the
most. In order to avoid any condensation and to favour draught, we
recommend equipping the flue with a stainless steel flexible pipe
minimum diameter Ø180 mm and maximaal diameter Ø 250 mm. The
diameter of the flue can be determined with means of the graphics in
annex 3.
B.
The fireplace in which the built in fire will be mounted has to be made
out of heat resistant material and must have such dimensions that
expansion of the steel construction is warranted.
C.
The fireplace has to be equipped with a Ø 200 mm fresh air supply,
directly from the outside, with mouth directly underneath the burner
(combustion air burner cooling).
D.
The gas control system and electronic parts must be mounted outside of
the radiation area of the burner, especially when mounting a gas log fire
in a sunken casing. In the case that the electrical components are within
the range of the radiation area sufficient insulation has to be placed, so
that the electronics become maximum 40 °C and the gas control system
maximum 60 °C.
E.
Under no circumstances, electric components may be opened. Moreover,
cutting through or altering the length of connection cables is only
allowed in consultation with Kal-Fire BV.
ATTENTION: The warranty is not applicable if the the under D &
E mentioned requirements are not satisfied !!
