3 Installation requirements

Note: Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of
importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home. Due
to the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building
materials, carpet etc. will be attracted to the lit appliance. These components can settle
onto cold surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed
too near the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind
when installing the appliance.

3.1 Chimney breast

The appliance must be built into a chimney breast. This can be an existing or a new
chimney breast. In either case, take the following points into account:

• The chimney breast must be constructed of an inflammable material.

• Always install the hearth first before constructing the chimney breast.

• Always ventilate the space above the hearth by means of the grates supplied or a

comparable alternative with a minimum air supply of 20000 mm².

• Use special stucco (min. 100°C resistant) or glass fibre wallpaper to prevent
discoloration or tears etc. Recommended drying time:

1 day per mm finishing coat applied.

3.2 Surround with cover plate

• If the cover plate (which can be optionally ordered) is used, the chimney breast
must be placed at the same height as the bottom of the recess. (see figure 1.2).

3.3 Placing the service hatch

• The gas control valve is generally mounted onto the hearth with a brace. Unscrew it
and mount the brace with the gas control valve onto an easily accessible spot
behind the service hatch (max. 1m. from the centre of the hearth in connection
with the length of the flexible gas pipe).

3.4 Flue requirements

• The appliance is of the type C11/C31. The appliance will need to be supplied with
the approved Faber flue pipes and terminal, it is not possible to supply your own.
The minimum effective height of the flue system must be 1 meter.

• Flue routing:

• a horizontal extension with elbows is allowed for a maximum of 4 meters.

• vertical max. 12 meters (without horizontal extensions only)
