PRELIMINARY INSTALL GUIDE
1. ASSEMBLING OF MOVABLE PARTS OF THE FIREPLACE INSERT
Your Multivision Hydro 80 fireplace insert compromises of at least two movable parts which can be
displaced during transportation:
1.1. BAFFLE (PROTECTIVE DEFLECTION PLATE)
The baffle plate is a heat deflector that deflects the heat back in to the combustion chamber and
protects the interior of the appliance and flue against the direct exposure to the flames. The baffle plate
for this appliance is provided as a seperate element with two resting points at the back.
Lift the baffle plate in to the appliance vertically with the two resting points facing upwards until you
pass the two supports at the back of the combustion chamber. Turn the baffle plate horziontally and
lower the plate until the two resting points are placed in to the two supports, then tilt the baffle plate
forward towards you. The two supports should now hold the baffle plate in place and the baffle plate
should be facing towards you on a slight angle.
1.2. PROTECTIVE FENCING
The protective fencing is a cast iron shield which prevents wooden logs from falling out. Should the
shield be displaced, mount it on the front immediately behind the glass panel in specially designed
grooves. The number of protective shields is the same as the number of glass panels in the insert.
2. INSTALLING A FIREPLACE INSERT WITH A WATER JACKET AND COOLING COIL
The fireplace must be installed on a premises of not less than 12 m
2
of floor area. The wall and the
floor adjacent to the appliance should be made of non-combustible materials. Make sure that there is a
distance (approx. 5 cm) between the insert and the thermal insulation of the casing.
By ensuring proper ventilation, i.e. free flow of convection air from the air inlet to the grid outlet, the
fireplace will have enough air to cool down the insert. While placing the insert, make sure that the base
on which the insert rests does not block the flow of convection air.
Given the thermal expansion of cast iron of which the insert is made, allow for expansion joints between
the front frame of the insert and the casing elements: approx. 1 cm on the sides and 3 cm at the top.
The fireplace fascia should be made of non-combustible materials. Where wooden beams are used,
make sure that they are properly insulated. The temperature at the bottom of the beam should not
exceed 65°C.
The installation of the water jacket elements in the open system must be carried out by authorised
professionals including all safety devices specified in your local regulations.
The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any incidents or damage caused by inadequate
installation.
Where the fireplace is installed in a system which, during the heating season, is not used on a
continuous basis, it is recommended to use an anti-freezing agent specially designed for central
heating systems. The water jacket should be connected to the central heating system by means of
threaded connectors. Only steel or copper pipes can be used to connect the water jacket with the
insert. Do not use plastic pipes as the heating agent can exceed 95
o
C, which may damage the heating
installation system. Steel pipe 1” diameter or Copper Pipe DN28 must be used to connect the water
jacket to the system; the application of smaller diameter pipes is prohibited.
