3. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Note:
Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs.
Therefore it is of importance that you do not use the appliance
shortly after a renovation of the home. Because of the natural
circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building
materials, carpet etc. will be attracted. These components can settle
themselves down onto cold surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown
vinyl wallpaper placed too near to the appliance may become
scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind when installing
the appliance.
3.1 Builders opening and surround
The appliance can be installed in the following situations:
In a non-combustible fireplace or builders opening. This could be either
an existing builders opening or a new made prefab builders opening.
For the measurements, see figure 1 and index.
Although the appliance is tested for installation without a hearth, the
appliance must not stand on combustible materials or carpets. If the
appliance is placed on a combustible floor then a fibrelux or similar
heatproof board of 12 mm thickness should be placed under it. Any
under floor vents or openings within the builders opening should be
sealed off.
Do not place the lintel, surround or marble stone directly onto the
appliance. If possible, apply a lintel made of cement or something
similar.
Isolate the appliance with a ceramic blanket (25 mm). See also
chapter 4: Installation instructions.
Preferred choice for insulation is unbound insulation wool (at
1000 °C gives no smell).
