5.7 Installing the fire, general
• Do not make any changes to the fire yourself.
!Caution
• Use clean fabric gloves and avoid fingerprints on the fire and flue pipes.
• Depending on the type of suspension, install the fire on a floor, against a wall or on a ceiling with sufficient
load bearing capacity.
• Lay a fire-resistant floor plate if the floor is flammable. The floor plate in non-flammable material must extend
at least 300 mm away from the fire and be at least 300 mm wider than the fire. Check these distances before
installation on the basis of applicable national/local laws.
A floor plate offers protection against smouldering ash and prevents the soiling of a marble or flagstone floor, for
Tip!
example. We therefore also advise using a fire-resistant floor plate when installing appliances on a wall or ceiling.
Ø
Use the fire's dimensional sketch to see which fire pipe diameter you need (see Annex 1, table 2).
Ø
Use a fire pipe that at least meets the requirements of standards as established in EN 1856-2 T600.
Ø
Install the flue pipes in such a way that a fire hazard can never originate.
Ø
When installing a free-standing fire take account of the minimum required distance from the fire to a
non-flammable wall. This distance amounts to 50 mm.
Ø
When installing the fire and/or flue pipes respect the minimum distance to flammable objects and materials as
shown in Annex 1, table 2.
Ø
Take adequate measures to avoid too high temperatures in any walls behind the chimney breast.
This also applies for materials and/or objects behind the wall.
Ø
Respect the flue duct requirements as described in paragraph. 5.2.
For any appliance-specific instructions we refer to section 9 'Appliance-specific information'.
If you are installing a built-in appliance take account of:
!CAUTION
• The minimum building-in dimensions according to Annex 2, Fig. 1.

5.7.1 Free-standing/design fires

5.7.1.1 Conversion from fire top connection to rear connection (if applicable).
The fire is supplied with a top connection for connecting the flue duct.
The top connection can be converted to a rear connection.
To do this proceed as follows (see Annex 2, Fig. 2):
Ø
Take the flame baffle plate or baffle plates out of the fireplace (if applicable see section 9, 'Appliance-specific
information').
Ø
Your appliance can be provided with an extra steel restrictor cap (if applicable see section 9, 'Appliance-specific
information'). Remove this by sliding the restrictor cap forwards and taking it out of the rails. This restrictor cap is
not replaced with a rear connection.
Ø
Remove the fire's convection back plate by undoing the bolts.
Ø
Remove the push-through plate from the convection back plate.
Ø
Remove the cover plate for the flue from the back wall of the fire by undoing the 2 or 3 nuts.
Ø
Remove the flue ring from the top plate by undoing the nuts and/or bolts.
Ø
Fit the flue ring on the back wall using the bolts and/or nuts.
Ø
Fasten the convection back plate again with the bolts.
Ø
Assemble the cover plate for the flue in the opening in the top plate using the nuts.
Ø
Replace the flame baffle plate or baffle plates in the reverse order.

5.7.1.2 Installing a free-standing fire, general

A free-standing fire is installed as follows:
Ø
Determine the fire location. The dimensions of the appliance are given in Annex 2, Fig. 1.
Ø
For any appliance-specific instructions we refer to section 9 'Appliance-specific information'.
Ø
Make sure there are no flammable materials present.
Ø
Lay the floor plate if applicable.
Ø
Place the fire on a blanket or sheet of cardboard (to avoid damaging the floor) then put it in the desired place.
Ø
Connect the fire to the flue duct. Follow the instructions of the supplier of the flue gas extraction system. Use
heater piping material that at least suffices with regard to EN 1856-2 T600.
Ø
Lift the fire a little if necessary so the blanket or cardboard can be removed.
Ø
For completing installation we refer to paragraph 5.8.
