1 Introduction

We urgently advice to read this Installation
and User Instructions thoroughly.
This appliance complies with the guidelines
for European gas appliances (gas appliances
directive) and bears the CE mark.
Keep this Installation and User Instructions for
future reference.

2 Product Description

“theMOOD” is a gas appliance made of Corten
steel with a single-walled flue pipe of Ø
150 mm and is only intended for outdoor use.
The combustion air enters through the bottom
and through the gaps into the appliance.

2.1 Corten Steel

● Also known as weathering steel, is a

metal alloy consisting of iron to which
copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and
chromium are added. Characteristic of
Corten steel is both the brown orange rust
color and the durability. The lifetime is so
long because the first corrosion layer
(patina) prevents further corrosion caused
by rust.

● The color

of the Corten steel develops further and
each product is unique. The final
appearance,-orange, terra, brown-,
depends on conditions such as humidity,
temperature and the extent to which the
product is exposed to the weather
conditions.
The steel gets its final color after about 2
years!
Keep in mind, that during the formation

of this “rust layer” on both the inside and

outside of the fireplace rusty water
comes from the material, this will leave
traces.

● ATTENTION: This “rust layer” (patina) is

the protective layer of the steel, if this is
removed the process will start over again.
For example, the presence of wet leaves
on Corten steel can leave spots behind on
steel.

3 Safety instructions

● Operation area of the fireplace is

guaranteed off 0°

● We advise to install the outdoor fireplace

somewhat sheltered.
Advantages:

● Less wind sensitive and better

stability.

● Intuitively more heat emission.

● The use of this outdoor fireplace in a

confined space is LIFE-THREATENING
and is PROHIBITED.
An installation area must have at least
25% wall surface open to ensure a good
ventilation, see detail drawing 2.5.

● In extreme weather conditions we advise

to disassemble the flue pipe from the
fireplace and to cover the exhaust
connector.

● Close the gas tap or pressure regulator

after using the outdoor fireplace.

● The outdoor fireplace should be installed

and annually checked in accordance with
these installation instructions and
applicable national and local regulations.

● Check whether the data on the

registration plate match the local type of
domestic gas and pressure. (for the
location of the identification plate, see
fig. 1.1 A)

● Do not put any combustible materials,

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

● The settings and the construction of the

outdoor fireplace must not be changed!

● The outdoor fireplace has been designed

for ambience and heating purposes. This
means that all surfaces, including the
glass can get approx. 250°C and the
exhaust pipe approx. 400°C. (Exceptions
to this are the control knobs)

● Do not place any combustible materials

within 0.5 m of the radiation aria of the
glass. (See also Installation Instruction)

this is always protected from sunlight and rain
and out of the reach of children.

5.2 Electrical connection and cabling

The control unit has standard a cable with a
length of 8 meters.
With a connection for battery supply and for
the controlling.

Attention: The cables MAY NOT be
extended.
Longer cables can pick up environmental
signals that can switch the appliance
uncontrolled On or Off.

5.3 Gas connection

● The gas connection must comply with the

local standards.

6 Installation instruction

6.1 General

● Before installing the fireplace, the

exhaust connector must be mounted first,
place the exhaust connector on the
appliance and fix it with the 4 supplied
nuts. (see fig. 1.3)

● ATTENTION: the temperature of the

exhaust pipe can become approx. 400°C,
keep this in mind if the exhaust pipe will
pass through a lean-to roof.

o Install the outdoor fireplace

leveled on a solid surface, if this
is not present then create a
foundation The mounting holes
are located into the leg of the
appliance (see fig. 1.2)

o First remove the cover plate by

means of 4 screws (see fig. 1.1 B)

6.2 Installation gas connection

Install a two-piece gas tap or a flat
connection as close as possible to the
connection (pipe nipple) of the fireplace. So
that for service and maintenance the burner
can be disassembled. (See fig. 1.4 and 1.5)

The appliance can be connected to both the
gas network and a gas cylinder.

The fireplace should be installed in
accordance with these installation
instructions and applicable national and local
regulations.

At an initial commissioning of a new
installation you should remove the air from
the gas pipe

Inspect the complete gas connection for
leaks.

TIP: For both natural gas or propane,
A flexible hose with gas (insert) socket is
available at Faber.

Please, contact your dealer for further
information. (Mertik Plug 1 connection)

Tips for safe use of gas cylinders

● Gas cylinders always must be standing

upright, both during use and transport.

● Place the cylinder at a minimum distance

of 1 meter from the fireplace.

● Always use a pressure regulator between

the cylinder and the appliance. Replace
the pressure regulator every 5 years.

● Use an approved regulator according to

local regulations. Pay attention to the
correct supply pressure!

● Use only approved gas connection hoses

and replace it every 2 years.

● NEVER fill gas cylinders with LPG. Leave

the filling of gas cylinders to an
authorized filling station.

● Replacing the gas cylinder:

1. Make sure the gas cylinder is placed in a

well ventilated area, away from ignition
sources (candles, cigarettes or other heat
sources).

2. Connect the pressure regulator to the gas

cylinder.
Use a good fitting wrench to unscrew the
pressure regulator.
check the gasket ring of the pressure
regulator.

3. You can now replace the gas cylinder.

Securing the pressure regulator goes in
reverse order.

Check all connections for possible gas
leakages.
You can do this with:

● brush with liquid detergent and

water.

● spray.

9 < < < <

● gas leak detector.

if bubbles appear, you know that there is a
leak.

● Attention: Make the checked couplings

always dry after inspection.

6.3 Installing exhaust pipe

● Before connecting the exhaust pipe to the

connector the resistor tabs must be bent
outward.
(see fig. 1.6) repeat this if the exhaust
pipe comes loose.

● For TheMOOD a maximum flue length of

1.5 m applies, if the exhaust pipe can be
bracketed then this length can be
extended up to 2 meters. Extension pipes
(1 m.) can be ordered from your dealer.

● When installed under a lean-to roof, at

least 1 m. space between the top of the
exhaust pipe and the lean-to roof is
required. Take in account any
discoloration of materials under the lean­to roof.
