REMOTE CONTROLS ARE INFRARED OR BLUETOOTH
Infrared: Remotes need to point in the direction of the re and will work at a distance of 10 metres.
HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR REMOTE CONTROL WORKS.
Use the camera method
Most remote controls use infrared light to transmit the signal. The human eye is not able to see this light,
but a camera can easily spot it.
So, 4 easy steps to see whether your remote is transmitting signals or not
1. Turn your phone or digital camera on
2. Point the remote control at the camera and press any button on the remote
3. If you see a blueish light come from the remote when viewed through your phone or display, then the
remote seems to be working ne
4. If you do not see a ickering blueish light or very dim… most likely it is time to replace the batteries in
the remote control with the new ones
Note:
• On some of the latest iPhones and Android phones, you’ll have to use the front camera to do this test.
Most of the rear-side cameras have IR lters that don’t sense the infrared rays anymore.
• Aware: this can only be used for infrared remotes.
Bluetooth: Remotes need to be within a 5 metres radius without the signal being blocked by concrete
walls.
Replace batteries annually to guaranty a trouble-free performance.
All products carry the IP20 certicate (only covers dust).
Do not install products in Chlorine environment.
Note: Chlorine will irreparably damage plastic materials and electronics.
FIRE SURFACE CLEANING
Use only a soft cloth to clean glass and painted surfaces of the re.
Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners.

VENTILATION

natural draught of fresh air.

Calculate the correct ventilation opening
10cm
The diameter is 10cm
Divide the diameter by two = 10: 2 = 5cm
Radius x radius x PI = 5 x 5 x 3.14 = 78.50cm
When request 210cm you need 3x opening of ∅ 10cm = 235.5cm2
When request 420cm you need 6x opening of ∅ 10cm = 471cm
