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 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 the
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.
If the builders' opening is constructed of anything other than brick e.g.
stud work and rendered plaster then:
• Let the plaster dry for at least 1 day per millimetre thickness. E.g. 4
mm plaster has to dry at least 4 days, before using the appliance;
