The way the BUILT-IN FIREPLACE EQH is installed will decisively affect safety
issues and how it works.
It is important to install the fireplace correctly.
In order to ensure it has been installed correctly, it should be installed by a
professional.
A.- Assembly
In order to install the Built-in Fireplace EQH, a chimney ("draw") must be installed
using suitable metal pipes and must extend at least 1 metre above the highest part of the
roof.
If a built-in chimney already exists, the said
chimney must be connected to the Cast Iron
Fireplace by means of a joint and perfected
connected to the smoke outlet on the device. (See
Fig.-2)
It is essential to seal the joints between
chimney sections. (See Fig.-6, Pag. 9)
It is advisable to install grilles at the top of the
hood and at the bottom of the lining to allow hot air to
circulate for two main reasons:
- provide extra hot air to the room.
- avoid possible cracks in the lining.
EQUATION provides 25x20 and 50x20 cm.
ornamental grilles as an option.
B.- Chimneys.
The way the FIREPLACE works depends on:
d) The chimney.
e) How it is used.
f) The quality of the fuel used.
Over the years, you may change the type of
fuel you use but, once the chimney has been
installed in a given place, it is not so easy to alter or
reposition.
Therefore, the following information will help
you decide whether you can use your present
chimney or not or help you decide to build a new
one.
This information will help you make the correct
decision.
