2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Installation of the appliance
The operations of installation, any conversion for use with other types of gas, start-up and the remedying of any faults in
the systems, must only be carried out by qualified staff, in accordance with current laws.
The gas systems and the rooms where the appliances are installed must fulfil the regulations existing in the various areas
and in particular consideration must be made of the fact that the air required for combustion of the burners is equal to 2
3
m
/h per kW of installed power and that accident prevention regulations must be observed.
2.2 Installation
Remove the appliances from the packing and position them in the place of use, levelling them and regulating their height
by means of the adjustable feet or other means.
Remove the protective film from the external panels, detaching it slowly to prevent the glue from remaining.
It is important that the walls adjacent to the appliance are protected against the heat. Place refractory sheets in between
them place the appliances at least 200 mm away from the side or rear walls.
2.3 Fumes extraction
The appliances must be installed in rooms suitable for the extraction of combustion products, in accordance with the
provisions of the installation instructions. Our equipment is considered (see specifications table) as:
"A1" TYPE GAS APPLIANCES
The A type appliances must be installed in sufficiently ventilated places in order to prevent the concentrations of harmful
substances in the room where the unit is installed. They are not designed to be connected to a discharge line of
combustible materials. These appliances must discharge the combustible products into the appropriate hoods, or similar
devices, connected to a flue of proven efficiency, or they may be connected directly to an outdoor vent.
Failing this, the use of an extractor fan is permitted, connected directly to an external area, with sufficient capacity, which
will then be increased by the exchange of air necessary for the welfare of the workers under current regulations,
approximately 35 m³/h for each kW of gas power installed.
Forced fume evacuation under hood. In this case, the end of the
appliance's exhaust pipe must be at least 1.8 m above the floor on which
the appliance stands (the ground), and the mouth of the combustion fume
pipe must be inside the same extractor hood (Fig. 1). The appliance's gas
supply must be connected to the forced evacuation system so the former
can be cut out in the event its capacity falls below that required by the law
in force. It should only be possible to restore the appliance's gas supply
manually.
