2. SAFETY OF THE UNIT
The unit is fully safeguarded by means of thermo-electric pilot light protection to prevent unforeseen dis-
charge of gas from the main burner.
2.1 Safety
Do not place ceramic burner decoration material or logs against the pilot burner. Ensure the pilot light is
able to burn freely over the main burner at all times. Good ignition of the main burner is only guaranteed if
this is the case. Not adhering to these instructions can lead to dangerous situations.
The unit, complete concentric flue system and flue terminal need to be cleaned and checked annually by a
recognised gas technician/fitter, so the unit continues to operate safely. For additional instructions, see
Chapter 10: Maintenance.
If, for whatever reason, the pilot light extinguishes, you must wait 5 minutes before igniting the pilot light
again.
The unit may not be operated without the glass panel being in place.
It is not permitted to place flammable materials on the ceramic wood inset.
The layout of the main burner with ceramic burner decoration material and wood inset may under no cir-
cumstances be changed or added to.
Light flammable materials, such as nylon clothing or flammable liquids, may not be placed near the unit.
Ensure children and other persons unaware of the operation of a gas unit, are supervised at all times when
near the unit.
Use a fireguard to protect against burns and protection of the children and persons named above.

5. INITIAL START-UP
The unit has a layer of heat-resistant varnish that resists very high temperatures. An unpleasant smell may
develop in the first hours after starting the unit due to burning in of the varnish; however, this is not dangerous.
To accelerate this process, allow the unit to burn at the highest setting for several hours and ventilate the
area well. After the first time the unit is turned on, a light deposit may form on the inside of the window. This is
due to the varnish hardening. After the fireplace has cooled down, this deposit can be removed using a fireplace
glass cleaner or ceramic hotplate cleaner.
5.1 Daily maintenance
* Avoid having a lot of dust and cigarette smoke, candle and oil lamp particles in the air of your home.
Heating of these particles through the convection system of the unit, can lead to discolouring of walls and
ceilings. It is therefore advisable to ensure the area containing the unit is always sufficiently ventilated.
Regularly remove any dust that has settled behind the operating lid with a vacuum cleaner.
If the glass is broken or cracked, it should be replaced immediately by a recognised fitter before the
unit is used again.
* The unit must be switched off immediately if something is spilt on it. It should only be cleaned once the
unit has cooled down. Never use abrasive, aggressive cleaning products or fireplace cleaner; only use a dry
cloth that does not give off fluff.
* Your local specialised dealer will be able to provide you with spray cans containing heat-resistant varnish,
so that small stains or damages may be touched-up during annual maintenance.
5.2 Important tips for gas heating or wood fuelled units and fireplaces.
Prevent discolouration of walls and ceilings!
There are always particles in the air in each living area even if the area is vacuum cleaned regularly!
These particles are easily visible when the sun streams in. This issue will not arise if the amount of
particles in the air is limited. If these particles are present in greater quantities and particularly if the air is
contaminated by soot and tar particles, for example, through the burning of candles or oil lamps and
cigarette or cigar smoke, then we can speak of a poor inner climate! Cooled air slowly flows over the floor
to the heater in a heated living area. This air is heated in the convection system of the fireplace or heater,
resulting in a quickly rising column of air that subsequently spreads through the room again. This means
there is always dust and other polluting particles depositing on cold and often damp surfaces. This issue
occurs especially in a new building (building damp) that is not yet dry. An undesirable consequence of this
phenomenon could be discolouration of walls and or ceiling!
How can this problem be avoided?
* With a newly built fireplace or following renovation, wait at least 6 weeks before firing up.
* The building damp must have disappeared completely from the walls, floor and ceiling.
* The room where the unit is located must be well ventilated.
* The required air ventilation must be in line with local building regulations.
* Limit the use of candles and oil lamps and keep the taper as short as possible.
* These two creators of atmosphere ensure considerable quantities of polluting and unhealthy soot particles
in your flat.
* Among other things, cigarettes and cigars contain tar that will precipitate on cold and damp walls during
heating.
* This may occur above radiators and light fittings and with ventilation grilles (if there is a poor internal
climate), although to a lesser degree.

6. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 General instructions
* The gas fireplace must be installed, connected and inspected as a closed unit by a qualified fitter, according
to national, regional, and local standards and regulations.
* The flue tube system and the outlets in the outer wall or roof face must also meet the requirements outlined
in the applicable standards and regulations.
* The temperature of the walls and shelves near the side and back of the unit may not be more than 80°C
higher than the temperature of the environment.
* The unit has been approved in combination with the THC CC and US concentric flue system Ø100/Ø150
mm or Ø130/Ø200 mm, in accordance with European CE standards for gas units, and may therefore only
be applied with this system.
* The unit needs to be inspected by the fitter for local gas distribution (gas type and gas pressure) as indicated
on the identification plate.
* The instructions are only applicable if the relevant country code is stated on the unit. If this is not the case,
the gas technical information for the relevant country needs to be consulted and modifications discussed
with the manufacturer.
* There will be air in the gas pipes when the unit is first used. The gas pipes therefore need to be vented first.
* Ignite the heater according to operating instructions and check whether the burner flame is uniform. After
the unit has been used for the first time, you should remove any deposits resulting from convection-curing
of the unit, from the glass window using a glass cleaner for heaters.
Warning:
Never install the unit against or within a flammable wall!
Distance to flammable materials:
* With respect to the front, side and top of the unit, a distance of 1000 mm needs to be kept between the unit
and: curtains, floor covering, upholstery and fabrics, and/or other flammable material unless stated
otherwise in these instructions.
Distance to non-flammable materials:
* The unit needs to be placed a minimum distance of 25 mm from the wall unless stated otherwise in these
instructions.
Important
* Construction material for fireplaces and mantles etc., or for an assembly must be made of non-flammable
material. This also applies to floors and ceilings. Never use flammable materials near the unit in
compliance with the abovementioned instructions.
Note: Please contact your supplier if you are unsure.
Important
The installation may only be performed
by an authorised person

7. CONCENTRIC FLUE SYSTEM CC
The concentric flue system consists of a 100mm or 130mm Ø inner flue concentric with a 150 mm or 200 mm Ø
outer flue. These flues have been set up concentrically; the combustion gases are exhausted through the internal
flue while the fresh combustion air is supplied between the internal and external flues.
7.1 Components of the concentric flue system. (See page 29,30 and 31)
Different connections are possible using the concentric flue system. These are:
Through the roof face and through the exterior wall.
There are various options for mounting the pathway for this system,
however, there are a few important requirements/conditions:
* The maximum allowable vertical flue length is 12 metres (the sum of the flue length and the calculation
lengths for the bends).
* 90° bends have a 2-metre horizontal calculation length.
* 45° bends have a 1-metre horizontal calculation length.
* The outlet can be installed at any point on the roof face or exterior wall (supply and discharge in an identical
pressure area), but must meet applicable regulations.
* Duct pathways may not be insulated
Important
* Ensure the restriction plate is mounted in the correct manner, as indicated in these instructions.
* The correct restriction plate will provide the unit with the most optimal efficiency, flame image and
combustion.
* Mounting an incorrectly placed restriction plate may cause malfunction of the unit.
7.2 Construction of concentric flue system CC
Indirect wall connection.
* The outlet may also be installed above the exhaust in the wall, taking any hindrance to the surrounding area
into consideration, according to national, regional, local standards and regulations. Ensure wind pressure on
the flue terminal is not too extreme, such as a balcony, flat roof, corners and in small alleys etc., as this may
negatively influence the unit efficiency.
* Provide a recess in the exterior wall of around 155 mm for concentric 100-150, and 205 mm for concentric
130-200. (in a flammable wall ensure there is 50 mm of extra space around the outer pipe and use
fireproof casing) and fix the exterior wall duct with the wall plate to the outer side of the wall. The wall
plate of the exterior wall duct must be sealed sufficiently against the wall on the outside, to avoid moisture
and/or flue gas leaks into the living space.
* The flue should be cased if necessary. Sufficient fireproof measures must also be taken when the flue is
being mounted along flammable materials.
* Determine the position of the unit and outlet and begin construction of the flue with the connection on the
unit, paying attention to the direction of installation and connecting the elements by means of clamp strips.
* The fitted pipe can be used between the bends or when connecting to the unit.
If necessary, use wall brackets to support the flue
Mounting using the roof pass-through option
* The flue terminal can be located at any random place on the roof face (supply and exhaust in identical
pressure areas) and must meet the applicable rules and regulations.
* A roofing sheet for a flat roof or a roofing sheet lead for sloping tiled roofs can be used for a watertight duct.
Use various bends for the slope, if required. The recess in the roof decking should be 5 cm larger all
around, to ensure sufficient fire resistance.
* One needs to take into account the regulation regarding fire resistance between rooms (See national,
regional, local standards and regulations). A casing made of fireproof material (e.g. 12 mm Promatect fire
resistant plate) must be used at 25mm from the outside duct.
* Determine the position of the unit and outlet and begin construction of the flue with the connection on the
unit (always 1 metre vertical first), paying attention to the direction of installation! The inner flue must be
installed for draining purposes. Connect the elements by using clamping strips. Ensure the gas tightness of
all connections is correct.
* A fitted pipe can be used between the bends or when making the connection to the unit and/or the roof pass-
