During installation of the gas fi re, a clearance of 3 mm should
be maintained on all sides of the appliance to allow for
expansion of the appliance during operation.
Do not insulate the appliance! Only the top and sides
may be fi tted with a strip of white, loose insulation wool
(heat-resistant to 1000°C), width 15 cm max. to protect
the wall.
Do not use fi breglass or Rockwool, or any other sort of
insulating material. These emit a pungent odour.
This is considered extremely unpleasant. They may
also cause discolouring of the chimney.

If the appliance is fi tted less than 12 cm from the fl oor, then it
will require a hearth to protect the fl oor. The hearth should
have a minimum dimension of 12 mm thick, laying completely
under the appliance and projecting 30 cm in front and 15 cm
either side of the appliance.
A hearth is not required with a non combustible foor.
Ensure that the temperature of the fl oor under and in front
of the appliance can never rise above 85°C!
Make use of a temperature protection plate (of nonfl ammable
material) on the fl oor if necessary.
Take care with a fl oor made of a fl ammable material.

fi replace; with a depth of less than 10 cm, is:
* 5 cm on the sides: (min. distance: side appliance - leg
