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.
WARNING!
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 fireplace and the ceiling.
•
Walls to which the gas fireplace is attached
must not become warmer than 85°. This
applies both to static walls made of non-
combustible building materials and to walls
made of or with combustible building
materials, as well as to warm insulated walls
made of or with combustible building
materials. This requirement is ensured:
if the walls in question are protected
−
with a 3 cm thick calcium silicate board
with a thermal conductivity coefficient
of 0.1W/mK or other suitable insulation
with comparable thermal resistance,
if the gas fireplace is placed at a
−
distance of at least 2 cm (air gap) from
the dam layer.
and the specified convection air
−
openings have been created in
accordance with the installation
instructions, (paragraph 5.9)
After this, install the gas fire leaving a small air
gap between the gas fire and the fireproof
board material. The materials used for the gas
fire surround must be heat-resistant and
fireproof.
•
Under no circumstances must the gas
fireplace be insulated. Materials, plaster
and wallpaper used to finish the wall
(especially above the gas fire) must be
heat-resistant.
•
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 55 mm from
flammable materials.

a U-value ≤ 0.4W/m2K

(air gap)
CAREFUL!
The gas fire and the surround have different
expansion rates. The gas fire must be mounted
at least 4 mm from the surround to prevent
damage. Too little room causes undesirable
material tension.
CAREFUL!
At the front, an air gap of at least 7 mm must
remain free between the glass and the plateau
to allow for cooling of the E-box. This air gap
must not be covered after commissioning the
fireplace.

Safety instructions for decorative
filling
DANGER!
The decorative elements must be placed
according to the instructions. It is prohibited to
alter the number of decorative elements or the
configuration thereof. Such alterations can lead
to hazardous situations in terms of fire safety.
WARNING!
The ignition or ionisation rods must be left
uncovered. Ensure this is the case when placing
the decorative elements. Careless decoration of
