5.6 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 combustible. The floor plate in non-combustible 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

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-combustible wall. This distance amounts to 50 mm.
Ø
When installing the fire and/or flue pipes respect the minimum distance to combustible 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.
