- Three safety measures for the gas fire
2.1 Safety related to installation
Installation of the gas fire requires diligent pursuit of procedures.
During installation, please adhere to the regulations that apply to
safety and health in your country (the Working Conditions Act, for
example).
General installation instructions:
•
The procedures described may only be carried out by
authorised technical professionals.
•
Follow the installation procedures diligently to avoid
damage and accidents.
•
Use adequate protection resources during installation.
•
Ensure that local circumstances such as gas pressure and
the type of gas are consistent with the information on the
data identification plate of the gas fire.
•
Only install a gas fire in an area that has sufficient ventilation
in compliance with the standards in force.
•
Always conduct a chimney calculation, as indicated in the
Chimney Calculation.
•
Always make use of a concentric flue duct system that
complies with the approval conditions of your gas fire.
•
Adhere to the installation regulations as stated.
2.2 Gas and electrical units already installed
Concentric flue duct system confirmation
The gas piping and gas control valve to the fireplace need to be
installed by an authorised fitter and are not supplied with the
appliance. The diameter of the gas piping must be determined for
each appliance in compliance with the directives in force:
•
NEN 1078 and NPR 3378 apply to The Netherlands.
•
NBN D51-003 (chimney connection and gas connection)
applies to Belgium.
•
Arbeitsblatt G600 DVGW-TRGI applies to Germany.
Gas specification confirmation
Check to confirm that the gas specifications comply with the
installation. The data identification plate indicates the gas
type and gas pressure that is suitable for the appliance. The
identification plate is located on the inside door of the technical
unit and at the rear right of the bottom of the appliance. Kalfire
should be consulted if you wish to use a gas fire together with
another gas type.
Electrical installation confirmation
The electrical installation to the gas fire must be installed by an
8
approved fitter and is not supplied with the appliance. Power
supply and required electrical power:
1. For all appliances without hybrid LED lighting: 230V/22W.
2. For all appliances with hybrid LED lighting and Natural
Spark Generator: 230V/40W.
WARNING The gas fire needs a permanent power supply.
Errors recorded earlier are lost during any interruption to
power supply. Regular interruption of the power supply
impacts the safety mechanisms, whereby hazardous
situations can arise.

2.3 Installation instructions

The following conditions must be adhered to during installation:
WARNING Ensure sufficient ventilation in the area in
which the gas fire is to be installed. The installation area is
sufficiently ventilated if: The nominal power of the appliance
in kilowatt / content of the installation area in cubic metres
is less than 35.
•
Reference is made to both national and local provisions
in force to determine a safe distance from the wall
against which the appliance is mounted and the adjacent
walls, roof ducts and windows.
•
Only non-flammable materials should be used during
installation of the gas fire.
•
Ensure sufficient ventilation in the area in which the gas
fire is to be installed. The installation area is sufficiently
ventilated if: The nominal power of the appliance in
kilowatt / content of the installation area in cubic metres
is less than 35.
•
Reference is made to both national and local legislation
in force to determine a safe distance from the wall pass-
through against which the appliance is mounted and the
adjacent walls, roof ducts and windows.
•
Only non-flammable materials should be used during
installation of the gas fire.
WARNING No flammable materials may be used close
to the concentric flue duct system. High external wall
temperatures up to approximately 150°C form a burn
hazard. Keep a minimum distance of 80 mm from
flammable materials.
•
The floor on which the appliance is mounted must
consist of heat-resistant material. Should that not be
the case, then no flammable material may be placed
under the appliance. This also goes for the walls behind
and adjacent to the appliance and the ceiling.
•
The temperature of the wall and/or walls against which
the appliance is placed may not exceed 85°C. Before
placing the appliance, these walls must be insulated with
fire-resistant material. This fire-resistant material should
be insulated with, for example, a 3-cm calcium-silicate
plate (0.07 W/m.K). A gap should also be left between
the fireplace and the insulated fire-resistant material.
•
The materials used for the surround of the gas fire need
to be heat resistant and fire-free. The gas fire may under
no circumstancesbe insulated. Material, stucco and
