4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
4.1 GAS CONNECTION
A G3/8" gas connection should be made with a (CE approved) G1/2"
stopcock in the supply pipe, in the chimney.
Be sure that the controls do not get twisted during connection. Avoid
tension on the controls and the gas line.
Once the gas is connected, check all fittings for leaks.
4.2 PLACING OF THE APPLIANCE
Place the base of the fireplace at least 5 cm from the chimney breast.
Connect the appliance to the gas supply.The appliance is fitted with
a pressure regulator.
Check all the gas connections for leaks. Use soapy water and/or a
gas-leak detector.
Connect the fireplace to the chimney pipe. A 100 mm ø pipe should
be connected to the rear flue outlet. A 150 mm ø pipe or a 100 mm ø
pipe with a 150 mm ø decorative pipe should be connected to the
top flue outlet. Corrosion-resistant material should be used to make
the joint between the outlet and the chimney pipe. This connection
pipe should never be attached lower than the flue outlet itself. In the
event the flue outlet is connected to the chimney pipe by means of
an elongated pipe, this should be attached at an upward gradient of
at least 2% as viewed from the flue outlet.
To avoid condensation forming in a brick chimney – and improve the
draught, if necessary – the chimney should be fitted with an
aluminium or stainless steel pipe with a minimum diameter of 100
mm.
Attach the thermostat sensor to the skirting using the clip provided.
4.3 OPENING THE DOOR
The fireplace door can be opened by first loosening the screw in the
door handle, on the left-hand side of the window, then lifting the
handle itself (see fig. 1).
4.4 LOG SET
Note! To ensure proper burning, the log set may only be arranged
according to the instructions provided by Faber International (see fig.
2). Other placement can cause soot.
Before arranging the log set, scatter the bag of embers over the
burner. Place the longest log on the far right of the firebox, with its
end resting on the support in the middle. Place the shorter log on
the left, with its end resting against that of the first log, in the
middle of the burner zone. Place the final log diagonally over the
first two, with one end at the foot of the right-hand log and the
other around the middle of the left-hand one.
Close the door after arranging the log set.
