INSTALLATION

NOTE! If you plan to operate the bio fireplace with a device that has a

WI-FI connection (e.g. smartphone, tablet) please acquaint yourself with

the content of the Configuration of the module with Wi-Fi and Smart Home

System manual before installing the fireplace in the building.

- After opening the packaging box leave the device inside the box for
approx. 2 hours until it reaches room temperature. During this time
familiarize yourself with the user’s and installation manuals.

- The elements of construction used over the appliance must be made of
non-ammable materials.

- Any recess below the appliance must be sealed.

- A loose cable min. 3 x 1.5 mm2, with power supply 230V, 50Hz must be
provided to connect the appliance to the mains.

- The device can be wired directly into a fused spur or alternatively a
standard 3 pin 13 amp mains plug can be fitted (not supplied).

- If there is going to be a cover over the appliance, it must be made of
non-ammable materials and the minimum distance from the appliance

must be no less than 40cm / 15 ¾”.

For reasons of safety, under no circumstances can there be any

ammable material within a 1m radius of the appliance.

The manufacturer does not recommend placing any heat

sensitive materials or devices above the appliance as it can

signicantly affect the materials, properties and lifetime.
The manufacturer will not bear any responsibility for the

damage caused to any heat sensitive materials or devices

installed above the appliance.

How to construct the housing for the appliance:

Make a cavity for the appliance following the diagram below. Ensure that
the plane within the cavity on which the appliance is to be installed is
level.

The difference in level between the ends of the appliance must not

exceed 2mm. Poor levelling may cause abnormal operation of the

appliance and, in extreme cases, it can cause leaks of the bio-ethanol fuel

and the danger of fire.

Then connect the supplied cable with a connection block at the end of
the cord. Note that connection to the mains must be made by a qualied

electrician.

8

Highlighted button indicates proper connection of the appliance to
the power supply. Once connected to the power source the appliance

should be placed in the prepared cavity, by using attached handles.

Please make sure to remove the handles before starting the appliance

and keep them for the lifetime of the appliance. If necessary, use the

handles to remove the appliance.

Connection to the
mains must be
made by a qualified
electrician.

ATTENTION!

• Make sure that the appliance has been correctly installed and read the

attached instruction manual.

• You must not ll the fuel tank and start the appliance before reading

the instruction manual.

• If in the future it is necessary to take the appliance out of the housing,
wait until the fuel has burned-up completely and the display shows NO

I. Safety

This is a decorative appliance with real ames. In

order to use the device properly and safely and in

order to keep the warranty, the following safety rules
should be observed. This is not a heating device.

• The device should be installed in accordance with to the installation

manual.

• While working, the device emits heat, water vapour and carbon
dioxide, therefore it is necessary for the appliance to only be installed in

a room of appropriate cubic capacity and with adequate ventilation.

• During the start-up sequence of the device, the characteristic smell of

the liquid used in the device may be perceptible.

• It is obligatory to have a carbon-dioxide or dry chemical extinguisher

placed nearby the device.

• A device that is in operation on must not be moved. Wait for complete
fuel burn-out, disconnect the power supply and cool down the elements

before moving the device.

• The device should not be left without adult supervision.

• Prevent handling of the device by persons not trained in its use.

• Do not attempt to make changes or repairs to the construction of

the device. Repairs can be made only by a person trained to service the
device.

• Do not attempt to pour fuel into the device when lit as it may cause

damage to the device and cause fire. Pouring fuel into a lit device may

cause a sudden ignition and can cause re, burns and a risk to life.

• Do not heat the fuel before starting-up the device.

• Do not start up the device if any fuel has been spilt.

• Do not cover a working device as it may cause re.

20

• Keep the device and fuel away from children, pets and unauthorized

persons.

• Bio-ethanol fuel is not suitable for consumption. Avoid contact with

skin and eyes.

• Do not re-fuel when the device is lit.

• Do not tamper with the elements inside the device as this can cause
burns, damage to the device or re.

• Some elements of the device heat up to high temperatures. Do not
touch areas of the device adjacent to the ames.

• Do not place any decorative elements on the burner’s surface.

• WARNING! The glowing coil temperature heats up to 1300°C. Touching

the device while it is turned on may cause burns.

• WARNING! Prior to moving the appliance burn the fuel out and move
the appliance slowly, in the horizontal position, avoiding shaking. There

is always some fuel left inside the device and if spilled the sensors
might get wet. If that happens the appliance will not work until the liquid
evaporates.

• WARNING! The rst run can be made only after proper installation of
the device and reading the manual instructions!
