1 Introduction

The appliance can only be installed by a
competent person in accordance with the Gas
Safety. We urgently advise you to read this
installation manual properly.
This appliance complies with the guidelines
for European gas appliances (Gas Appliances
Directive) and bears the CE mark.

2 Safety instructions.

 The appliance should be placed,

connected and annually checked in
accordance with these installation
instructions and valid national and
local Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations

 Check whether the data on the

registration plate are in agreement
with the local type of domestic gas
and pressure.

 The fitter is not permitted to change

these adjustments or the construction
of the appliance!

 Do not place any additional imitation

logs or glowing coals on the burner or
in the combustion chamber.

 The appliance has been designed for

ambience and heating purposes. This
means that all surfaces of the
appliance , including the glass, can
become very hot (hotter than 100
°C). An exception to this are the
bottom of the appliance and the
controls.

 Do not place any infla mmable

materials within a of 0.5 m. of the
radiation of the appliance and
ventilation grills.

 Due to natural air circulation of the

appliance, moisture and volatile
components from paint, building
materials, floor coverings etc. that
haven’t yet set, can be drawn through
the convection system and can be
deposited on cold surfaces as soot.
That is why you should not use the
appliance shortly after a renovation.

 The first time the appliance is

switched on, Let the fire run on
maximum setting for several hours so
that the lacquer coating will have an
opportunity to set and possible

vapours released can be safely
removed by ventilation. We advise
you to be outside the room as much
as possible during this process!

 Please note that:

1 all transport

packaging should be
removed.

2 children or pets

should not be present
in the room.

3 Installation requirements

3.1 Minimum distance around the fire

Keep in mind that there has to be a minimal
distance of 300. millimetres between the side
glass of the appliance and a wall.

3.2 Requirements flue system and outlets

 You should always make use of the

materials prescribed by Faber
International Ltd. Only by using these
materials can Faber International Ltd.
guarantee a proper functioning.

 The outside of the concentric flue

material can reach a temperature of
Approx 150°C. Make sure of proper
insulation and protection in case of
transit through combustible wall or
ceiling constructions. And observe
sufficient distance.

 Make sure that the concentric flue

materials are bracketed every 2
metres when they have an extended
length, so that the weight of the flue
material is not resting on the
appliance itself.

 You may never start with a cut-down

concentric pipe directly on to the
appliance.

3.3 terminals

The flue outlet can end on an external
wall or a roof . Check whether the outlet
desired by you complies with local
requirements concerning good function
and ventilation systems .
For a proper functioning the terminal
should be at least 0.5 m. away from:

 Corners of the building.
 Roof overhangs and balconies.
 Eaves (with the exception of the roof

ridge).

3.4 Existing chimney

You can also connect the appliance to an
existing chimney. The existing chimney will
function as an air supply and a flexible
stainless steel pipe drawn up through the
chimney will remove the combustion gas.
The flexible stainless steel pipe of Ø 100 mm
should have a CE mark for temperatures up to
600° Celsius.

The chimney should comply with the following
requirements:

 The diameter of the flue system

must be at least 150x150 mm.

 There should be no more than 1

appliance connected to a flue pipe.

 The chimney must be in good

condition

o No leakage and
o It should be properly swept.

For more information about connections to
existing flue systems, see the manual
“connections”.

4 Preparation and Installation

instructions

4.1 Gas connection

The gas connection must comply with locally
valid standards.
We advise Pipe work from the meter to the
appliance must be of adequate size., with
near the appliance a gas isolator tap that
should always be accessible. Place the gas
connection in such a way that this is easily
accessible, and that before service, the
burner unit can be disconnected at all times.

4.2 Electric connection

If an adapter is used for the power supply,
then a wall socket 230VAC – 50Hz must be
mounted in the close neighbourhood of the
hearth.

4.3 Preparation of the appliance

 Remove the packaging of the

appliance . Make sure the gas pipes
underneath the appliance are not
damaged.

 Clear a safe space to store the frame

and the glass.

 Remove the frame , (if necessary) and

the glass and take the separately
wrapped parts out of the appliance

 Prepare the gas connection to the gas

control valve.

4.4 Placing the appliance

Take the installation requirements into
account (see chapter 3 )

(Check the strength of the wall where the fire
will be installed. the weight of the appliance
is approximately 86 kg))

• Mount the bracket level to the wall (Fig.

1.2)

• Place the firer on the bracket and secure
with four bolts and nuts under need (Fig. 1.3)

• Place the protective shield for the gas valve
and receiver (fig.1.4)

4.5 Mounting the smoke emission
outlet materials

 In case of a wall or roof terminal, the

hole must be at least 5 mm bigger
than the diameter of the flue
material.

 Horizontal parts must be installed at a

(3 degree) slope up away the
appliance.

 Build up the system from the

appliance. If this is not possible, you
should make use of a adjustable pipe
.

 For fitting the system a ½ metre

cut-down pipe should be used. Make
sure the inner pipe is always 2 cm
longer than the outer pipe. Wall and
roof terminal are also shortened.
These parts must be secured with a
self-tapping screw.

 Do not insulate but ventilate bild-in

flue material (approx.100cm2)

5 Removing the glass.

Remove the cast iron window frame, push up

and pull the bottom toward (Fig. 1.5)

• Remove all glass clamps (fig.1.6)

• now the glass can be taken out. (Fig.

1.7).

• Placing the glass in reverse order.

Remove the fingerprints from the glass these
will burn in and cannot be removed after the
fire is used
