Cleaning and testing the gas fire
Clean the glass and test the gas fire before you
finish the surround.
CAREFUL!
Grease emanating from fingers or other
materials can burn into the glass. These burnt-in
spots are permanent and cannot be cleaned.
CAREFUL!
When the newly-installed fireplace burns for the
first time, the varnish can emit a smell. This smell
will disappear naturally, once the varnish has
completely hardened.
Clean the glass before first ignition.
For standard ceramic windows. See: Cleaning
•
the (standard) ceramic windows (paragraph
7.1).
For anti-reflective glass. See: Cleaning
•
instructions anti-reflective glass (paragraph
7.1).
Ignite the fireplace.
During the first time, it can take a while for the
fire to ignite and continue to burn. This is caused
by air in the gas pipe.

Gas measurement
Check the pre-pressure of the gas connection
after installation. Carry out this measurement to
verify whether the appliance is supplied with
enough gas and the burners retain sufficient
pressure
The gas pressure can be measured via the pre-
pressure nipple which is accessible via the
cooling slot near the windscreen. To do this,
remove the front glass from the appliance.
Figure 15: Gas measurement
The data identification plate indicates which type
of gas the appliance is set for. The id plate is
located on the left side of the cooling slot on a
metal plate. It can be tilted upwards (see figure
16). To do this, remove the front glass from the
appliance. A second copy of the type plate is
stuck on the inside of the front cover of the user
manual.
TIP!
Note down the unique serial number of the
fireplace for your own records. Kalfire can thus
help you faster in case of maintenance or service.

Sustainability measurement
ATTENTION!
sustainability measurement through
sustainability measuring points. is not applicable
in the Netherlands.
The sustainability measurement serves to confirm
that the flue duct has been connected and the
gas is sealed. We recommend to check the flue
duct before finishing the surround.
The oxygen (O2) and carbon monoxide (CO)
values can be measured through the
sustainability measuring points. The O2 value
describes the operation of the flue duct, the CO
value indicates the quality of combustion.
Potential irregularities in the operation of the
appliance can be detected in this way. Use
silicone tubing to connect the measuring
equipment to the measuring points.
The measuring process is as follows:
1.
Open the design frame at the front above
the door (applies to front models only).
2.
Remove the rubber caps from the measuring
nipples that are indicated with O2 and CO.
