4. Mounting and installation 3. Mounting (optional) brackets and support for stable mounting of the Fairo 90 3-sided Tunnel/90 Corner on a wall. This is not available for the Fairo 90 3-sided Front. Mount suspension plate Mount the bracket to the wall.
The flue duct must be connected air-tight to the Fairo. If there is any play between the Fairo and the flue duct, close this gap with sealing material (fibreglass cord). The Fairo 90 series should be connected using Kal-fire air concentric flue gas outlet systems with a diameter of Ø100/150mm.
Use the following rules of thumb to calculate the flue duct. The calculations apply to the wall and roof ducts. If you use calculations different to those shown below, Kal-fire can give no safeguard or guarantee for the Fairo.
4. Mounting and installation 4.3.2 Wall duct C11 For distances to adjoining walls, coverings and windows, please refer to the national legislation. 4.3.3 Roof duct C31 When placing the roof duct ensure no air turbulence can occur in the mounting area. For this reason, always leave enough space between the wall/roof and the roof duct.
4. Mounting and installation Connecting gas regulation unit On delivery the gas regulation unit is on the left side of the Fairo. The technical box with the gas regulator should be placed, seen from the left side of the Fairo, within a range of 1.5m (4m with extension set), behind the supplied hatch.
Check by pressing keys the remote control simultaneously. If both figures exceed -80 (e.g. -60), then Kal-fire guarantees good functioning. The technical box must not become warmer than 60°C, otherwise the Fairo will go into safety mode.
Once the Fairo is ignited, burnt dust particles can cause the walls, ceilings and gratings to discolour. This is a natural process, which Kal-fire cannot be held liable for. Please follow the advice given by suppliers of fireplaces to restrict discolouration to a minimum.
5. Preparing for use Preparing for use Placing the decorative elements Once the Fairo has been connected, the ceramic logs or ceramic stones can be placed. Do not place ceramic logs, chips or Kal-Glow near the ignition/ionisation pins; ceramic stones can be placed here. If the decorative elements are placed incorrectly in the Fairo a hazardous situation or incorrect ignition may be the result or an error code (8, 12 or 13) may be generated.
Before placing the log set in the fire, position the lava stones supplied on top of the burner. Ensure the ionisation and ignition pin are not obstructed. Arrange the lava stones in a single layer. Delivered Fairo 90 3-sided Tunnel/ 90 Corner ceramic logs...
