Before finishing installation check that the table is level if necessary to correct. Figure 38 – Auxiliary table mounting 7. Intallation requirements The minimum distances from the pellet insert to flammable surfaces as shown in figure At the top of the insert it is necessary to keep a minimum distance of 1 m from the ceiling of the room especially if they contain flammable material in their composition.
¡NOTICE! Keep combustible and flammable materials at a safe distance. Never less than 5 cm from insulated surfaces and 1 cm to non-combustible surfaces. 8. Installation for exhaust gas systems: • The construction of the exhaust pipe must be suitable for the purpose in accordance with local requirements and in compliance with the regulations in force.
8.1. Installing Without a Chimney The installation of the pellet insert when there is no chimney should occur, as in figure 40, bringing the exhaust pipe (with a minimum internal diameter of 80 mm) directly out and above the roof. Double-walled insulated stainless steel pipes should be used properly to avoid condensation.
Page 36
Figure 31 – Examples of installations. Failure to comply with these requirements may prevent the correct operation of the unit, resulting in warranty void. Be sure to follow all the instructions on the diagrams. Free Standing Fires operate with the combustion chamber in draught, which is why it is absolutely necessary that they include a fume exhaust duct to adequately extract combustion gases.
Page 37
Chimney draught: The Figures below show three standard diagrams, specifying adequate lengths and diameters. Any other type of installation must guarantee a draught of 12 Pa (0.12 mbars) measured when hot and at the maximum power. Ventilation: To get the optimum operation from the unit it is necessary that the installation location has an air inlet with a minimum section of 100 cm preferably near the back panel of the unit.
8.2. Installation with a Chimney As shown in figure 34, the installation of the pellet insert brings the exhaust pipe (ᴓ80 mm) directly into the chimney. If the chimney is too large, it is recommended to pipe the gas outlet with a pipe with a minimum internal diameter of 80 mm. Provide a "T"...
9. Fuel The Free Standing Pellet Fire operates exclusively with pellets. No other fuel sources are allowed to be used. Only use pellets certified by standard EN 14961-2 grade A1 with a diameter of 6mm and a length of 10-30mm. The pellets may have a maximum humidity content of 8%.
10. Use of the pellet insert Recommendations Before starting up the unit, please check the following: - Ensure the unit is properly connected to the power mains using the 230V AC power cable.
