Bronpi hydro series Installation, Operating And Servicing Instruction page 31

5 INSTALLATION POLICY
The way of installing the thermo-stove or insert hydro will affect the safety and the proper operation. For this reason, it is essential that the
installation is carried out by qualified installers and informed about the compliance with the installation and safety norms.
If your equipment is not properly installed, it may cause serious damage.
Before the installation, carry out the next series of checks:
• Make sure that the floor can sustain the weight of the equipment and make a proper isolation in the case that it is made of flammable
material (wood) or a material that can be affected by a thermal shock (plaster, for example).
• If the equipment is installed on a floor which is not completely refractory or inflammable such as parquet, carpet, etc, it is necessary
to replace this part or introduce a fire-resistant base so that it protrudes out the thermo-stove or insert 30 cm. Example of materials
include steel flooring, glass base or any other type of fire-resistant material.
• Make sure that there is proper ventilation in the place where it is installed (air intake).
• Avoid the installation in places where there are collective ventilation pipes, hoods with or without extractor, B type gas equipments,
heat pumps or equipments that can cause that the draw is not good if they are used at the same time.
• Make sure that the smoke duct and the pipes used for the chimney are suitable for the operation of the insert.
• Make sure that all the equipment has their own smoke duct. Do not use the same duct for several equipment.
We recommend that you call your fitter in order to check both the chimney as well as the air flow for the combustion.
5.1 SAFETY MEASURES
During the installation of the equipment, there are risks to be taken into account, so you should follow the next safety measures:
a. Keep any flammable or heat sensitive materials (furniture, curtains,
and clothing) at a minimum distance of about 150cm.
b. If the equipment is installed on a floor which is not completely
refractory or inflammable it is necessary to replace this part or
introduce a fire-resistant base.
c. Do not place the thermo-stove or insert near combustible walls or
likely to be affected by a thermal shock.
d. The thermo-stove or insert should only be used when the ash pan
is inserted.
e. It is recommended to install carbon monoxide detector (CO) in the
room where the equipment is installed.
f. If you need a longer wire than the provided use it always with a
earthed plug.
g. Do not install the thermo-stove or insert in a bedroom.
h. The thermo-stove or insert should never be turned on in the
presence of emission of gases or vapours (e.g., linoleum glue,
gasoline, etc). Do not place nearby flammable materials.
i. Solid combustion residues (ashes) should be collected in an airtight
container and resistant to fire.
It is necessary to keep a safe distance when they are installed in spaces where materials are susceptible of being flammables, either the
constructions materials or different materials that surround the thermo-stove or insert (see drawing D8).
WARNING!! It is noted that both the thermo-stove or insert and the glass get very hot and should not be touched.
In case of fire in the thermo-stove, insert or smoke duct:
a. Close the loading door.
b. Put the fire out by using carbon dioxide extinguishers (CO2 powder).
c. Request for the immediate intervention of the fire-fighters.
DO NOT PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH WATER.
UK HETAS regulations as stated in document J combustion appliances and fuel storage systems.
Whilst the document J gives the guidance for compliance, the installer must interpret the guidance from manufactures for the correct
installation of their equipment in order to be compliant with UK building regulations and the guidance in this document.
