2 Safety instructions

 Please note!

It is advisable to always install a screen for the
fireplace if children, elderly or disabled people are
present in the same room as the fireplace. If

regularly vulnerable persons can be present in the
room without supervision, sufficient protection
must always be placed around the fireplace.

 This appliance must be installed according

with the rules in force and used only in a
sufficiently space.

 The appliance must be checked annually

in accordance with this installation
manual and the applicable national and
local regulations.

 Ensure that the data on the type label

matches the local gas type and pressure.

 The appliance is designed for atmosphere

and heating purposes. This means that all
visible surfaces, including the glass, can
become hotter than 100°C. An exception
by free standing models is the underside
of the fireplace and the control buttons.

 Do not use the remote control and / or

app outside the room where the fire is
located. So that you are always aware of
the situation around the fireplace when it
is being operated.

 The settings and the construction of the

fireplace must not be changed!

 Do not place extra imitation wood or

other material on the burner or in the
combustion chamber.

 Do not place any combustible materials

within 0,5m of the radiation area of the
fire.

 Through the natural air circulation of the

fireplace moisture and uncured volatile
components from paint, building
materials and carpeted floors, etc. are
attracted. These parts can settle as soot
on cold surfaces. Therefore do not light
the fireplace shortly after installation.

2.1 Using the fire for the first time

Provide extra ventilation and open all the windows
of the room during the initial start-up of the fire.
Let the fire burn at the highest setting for a few
hours so that the paint gets the chance to harden
and any released vapours are safely removed. Keep
vulnerable people and pets out of this room during
this process.

3 Installation requirements

3.1 Appliance

 This appliance may not be installed in a

chlorine-containing environment. (Pools

etc.).

 This appliance must be built into an

existing or new false chimney.

 For appliances with flexible gas pipes, the

control unit (fig. 1.0) is placed on the right

side of the crate for transport reasons.

Detach and mount it together with the

remote access door in as low as possible

position in the false chimney.

(To prevent damage to cables and pipes

during transport, they are bound together

by tie wraps. Remove these to ensure

proper operation of the appliance.)

 If desired, a 2 meter pipe set is available

(article number 20900715).

3.2 False chimney

 The false chimney should be of non-

combustible material.

 The space above the fire should always be

ventilated using grids with minimal free

passage of 200cm² per grid.

 The false chimney construction should not

rest on the build-in frame of the fireplace.

3.3 Discharge and outlet requirements

First, carry out a flue calculation (see chapter 11)
and place the right flue restrictor before installing
the outlet! (Generally a 30mm flue restrictor is
installed).

 For supply and discharge always use the

prescribed and to be supplied Faber flue

materials. Please contact Glen Dimplex

Benelux B.V.. Only with use of these

materials Faber can guarantee proper

performance.

 The distance to combustible materials

must be min. 50mm, calculated from

outside of the flue material (EN 1856-1

T600 N1 D VM – L20040 O(50)).

Outlets (fig. 1.2)

The balanced flue pipe for combined air supply and
discharge can use a wall terminal or a roof
terminal. Verify that the desired outlet meets the
local regulations regarding pollution and
ventilation openings.

 Please note!

For proper functioning, the outlet must at
least be 0,5m away from:

 Corners of the building;

 Roof overhangs and balconies;
 Roof edges (with the exception of the

ridge edge, see chapter 15).

C11, outlet via facade

Through a wall or façade, use a Faber wall outlet.
Depending on the flue calculation this can be
100/150mm or 130/200mm.

C31, outlet via roof

For a (flat) roof, use a Faber roof outlet with a
diameter of 100/150mm.

C91, existing chimney

For an existing chimney, use a Faber chimney
outlet with a diameter of 100/150mm.
In this case the existing chimney acts as air inlet an
inserted flexible stainless steel pipe discharges the
flue gas. The top (Faber chimney cover plate) and
the bottom (Faber chimney connection set) should
be airtight.

Depending on the calculated flue diameter, you
must use a flexible stainless steel pipe of
Ø100mm (article number AJ005503) or Ø130mm
(article number AJ005603) as specified by Faber.
For this, contact Glen Dimplex Benelux B.V.

 Please note!

 The minimum chimney diameter for a

130mm flexible stainless steel pipe must
be 200x200mm and for a 100mm flexible
stainless steel pipe and 150x150mm.

 Don’t connect more than one fire at the

existing chimney.

 The chimney must be in good condition:

o No leakage;
o Well cleaned.

For more information about the connections to
existing chimney ducts, please request the
installation instructions “Chimney Connection Set”.

4 Preparation and installation

instructions

4.1 Gas connection

The gas connection must comply with the
applicable local standards.

 Please note!

 Provide a flexible gas connection with at

least 0,5m extra length, so that the
control unit can be removed for
installation and service!

 Calculate the gas pipe so that no

pressure drop occurs.

9 < < < <

Installation manual Duet M,L Smart

We advise using a gas connection directly from the
gas meter to the appliance, with a shut-off valve in
the proximity of the appliance, which must always
be freely accessible. Position the gas connection so
that it is easily accessible for service and the
burner unit can be disassembled at any time.

4.2 Electrical connection

Install a 230VAC/50Hz wall socket near the
fireplace for connecting the control unit.

See fig. 1.3a for the wiring diagram:

A = Adapter (6V)
B = Gas valve
C = Receiver
D = Ignition pin

See fig. 1.3b for the wiring diagram with I.T.C
(optional):

A = Adapter (6V)
B = Gas valve
C = Receiver
D = Ignition pin
E = I.T.C. (Intelligent Technical Controller)

4.3 Smart Home installation

 Please note!

This is only possible if the fire is equipped
with I.T.C!

The controller can be connected to an external
source, such as a Domotica system, by using a
Faber Interface Unit (article number A9323000).

4.4 Preparing the fireplace

 Remove the fireplace from its packaging.

Ensure that the gas supply pipes under

the appliance are not damaged.

 Remove the glass and any mouldings,

store them at a safe place and remove the

packaged parts from the fireplace.

 Prepare the gas connection on the gas

valve.

4.5 Positioning the fireplace

Take into account the installation requirements
(see chapter 3). Place the fireplace at the right
place and level it (see fig. 1.5-C of 1.6-C).

Rough height adjustment:

 With the adjustable (optional) legs.

Accurate height adjustment:

 With the adjustable feet.

Hanging on the wall

The fireplace can also be mounted on the wall by
using the optional wall bracket (see fig. 1.4 and
attachment 17.9 and 17.10).

4.6 Installing the flue pipes

Install the flue pipes according to the installation
manual supplied with the appliance (40011968)!

 The distance to combustible materials

must be min. 50mm, calculated from the
outside of the flue pipe.

 Never start immediately with length-

adjustable concentric flue pipe on the
appliance.

 Horizontal sections should be installed to

allow a slope towards the appliance
(3 degrees).

 Built the system from the appliance. If this

is not possible you can make use of an
extendable adapter section.

 For fitting of the flue system, the 0,5m

length-adjustable pipe must be used.
Make sure that the inner pipe is always
15mm longer than the outer pipe. Wall­and roof terminal can also be cut. These
components must be secured with a self­tapping screw.

4.7 Constructing the false chimney

Before positioning the false chimney, we advise to
perform a functional test with the fireplace as
defined in chapter 7 “Checking the installation”.

False chimney

 Construct the false chimney of non-

combustible material in combination with
metal profiles or of masonry/concrete
blocks.

 Always use a lintel or reinforcing bars

while bricking the false chimney. They
should not be placed directly on the
fireplace.

 Make sure that the fireplace never

functions as a load-bearing construction,
because of the expansion of the fireplace
through warmth.

Ventilation

Correct ventilation prevents damaging overheating
of the gas control block and its electronics and also
limits the temperature of the convection air. Use
the (optional) supplied Faber ventilation grids
(article number A9296400) or a similar alternative
with a minimum free passage of 200cm² per grid,
in the space above the fire, when building the false
chimney. Within the false chimney, an horizontal
screen plate, made of non-combustible material,

10 < < < <

Installation manual Duet M,L Smart

must be installed just above the ventilation
openings. (see fig. 1.5-A and 1.6-A).

Installation and finishing

 Please note!

 Take into account a minimum distance of

2mm due to expansion of the fireplace.

 Take into account the thickness of any

finishing layer!

 Check during installation whether the

glass can still be installed.

Method I – cover strip (fig. 2.0a)

 See fig. 2.1, build the false chimney

against:

o Distance profiles A;
o Build-in frame D;
o Build-in supports C.

 The top of distance profiles A must have

the same height as point E.

 Before placing the cover strips, remove

the build-in supports C.

Method II – plateau + cover strip (fig. 2.0b)

 Please note

After installation, the top of the plateau must
have the same height as point E, see fig. 2.1.

 See fig. 2.1, remove the distance profiles

A. To ensure the air tightness of the

appliance, replace the screws!

 Build the false chimney against:

o Build-in frame D;
o Build-in supports C.

 Build the plateau against distance holders

B;

 Before placing the cover strips, remove

the build-in supports C.

Method III – plateau + insert strip (fig. 2.0c)

 Please note

After installation, the top of the plateau
should be 4mm higher as point E, see fig. 2.1.

Perform the steps of Method II.

Placing the cover strips / insert strip

 Place the horizontal cover strip Q (fig. 3.0)

or the horizontal insert strip R (fig. 3.1).

 Place the vertical cover strips S (fig. 3.2).

these are held in place by adjustable

magnets.

6 Placing decoration material

 Please note!

 It is not permitted to use other or to add

more material in the combustion

chamber.

 Do not throw the decoration material on

the burner at once. It is possible that the

burner gets clogged.

See the supplied decoration instruction card or
chapter 18.1 or 18.2:

 Place part of the ash material at the

burner and the cover plate.

 Place the log set.
 Divide the rest of the ash material at the

burner and the cover plate.

 Please note!

Keep the pilot flame free from ash material.

 Start the fireplace as described in the user

manual.

 Assess whether the flame distribution is

good. Move or remove any ash material

to create a nice glow bed.

 Install the front glass and check the fire

image.

7 Checking the installation

Checking for gas leaks

Check with a gas leak finder all connections and
pipes for gas leakage.

Check inlet- and burner pressure
Check if the inlet pressure correspond to the data
on the rating plate.

Measuring the inlet pressure:

 Close the shutoff valve. Turn the

measuring nipple “A” (fig. 1.1) a few turns

to open and connect a measuring hose to

the gas valve.

 Take this measurement when the

fireplace runs at high and low settings.

 Do not connect the unit if the inlet

pressure deviates (+20% and -20%).

Measuring the burner pressure:
Check the burner pressure only with proper inlet
pressure.

 Turn measuring nipple “B” (see fig. 1.1)

some turns open and connect a measuring

hose to the gas valve.

 The pressure must correspond to the

value indicated in the technical
specifications of this manual. In case of
deviation contact the manufacturer.

 Please note!

Close both pressure measuring nipples and
check for gas leakage.

Check ignition and burner
Ignite the fireplace by using the remote control as
described in the user manual and test all burner
possibilities.

7.1 Checking the flame image

Let the fireplace burn for at least 20 minutes at
highest setting and check the flame for:

 flame distribution;
 colour of the flames.

If one or both points are not acceptable then
check:

 The position of the logs and/or the

amount of ash material.

 The pipe connections for leaks.

(in case of blue flames);

 That the correct flue restrictor is fitted

(see fig. 1.8);

 The outlet:

o Wall terminal has the correct

position and side up;

o Roof terminal has the correct

position.

 If the maximum lengths of the flue gas

outlet is not exceeded.

 If possible, carry out a flue gas analysis

(see section 7.2).

7.2 Flue gas analysis

It is possible to check the combustion gases and
supply air with a CO/CO2 flue gas analyser.
There are two measuring pipes between the build­in frame and the front glass (fig. 1.7).

X = measuring pipe air supply
Y = measuring pipe flue gas

The ratio CO2 and CO must not be greater than
1:100.

Example:
CO2 is 4% and CO is 400ppm, measured at the
highest point.
If the ratio is greater than 1:100 or flue gases are
measured in the air supply, check the points in
section 7.1.

11 Flue calculation

A simple way to calculate whether the exhaust
configuration is possible in combination with your
fireplace, use the “Faber Flue App V2”:

This is available free of charge and can be
downloaded via:

Internet:

Android and PC (Windows Store, (Windows 10)).

App Store:

iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Google Play:

Android smart phones and Android tablets.

Alternatively, you can use the calculation sheet
(see chapter 13). The options for flue lengths and
any flue restrictors are defined in a restrictor table,
see 11.1 and 11.2. Start Length (STL), Total Vertical
Height (TVH) and Total Horizontal Length (THL) are
used in the table.

 Start length (STL):

The first part that is placed on the
fireplace and represents a certain value
(fig. 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 A, N and F). You
can find this value in the upper row of the
restrictor table.

 Total Vertical Height (TVH):

TVH is the height difference measured
from the top of the appliance to the
outlet. This can be measured or
determined in the building plan. For
clarification, see also the TVH indication in
the drawings (fig. 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3).
