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.
Because of the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint,
building materials, carpet etc. will be attracted. 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 to the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in
mind when installing the appliance.
3.1
Builders opening
The Relaxed L can be build in a non-combustible fire place or builders opening. This could
be either an existing builders opening or a new made prefab builders opening.
When you apply your own false chimney breast design to the Relaxed L you have to meet
these general requirements:
•
The false chimney breast has to be made of inflammable material
•
Always install the appliance before building up the false chimney breast
•
Check figure 2-3 for the dimensions
•
Always ventilate the space above the appliance using vents to assure a good air-
circulation
•
The plaster of the outside has to be resistant to a high temperature. Therefore use the
plaster materials especially made for this, to prevent discolouring (min. 100 °C
temperature resistant)
•
Make sure the plaster dries well before using the appliance. Let the thickness in mm be
the number of days the plaster has to dry
