General instructions
The Solea gas fireplace is a closed system and must only
be installed by a certified installer in combination with
WANDERS' concentric pipe system. Only then will the
Solea be approved according to the European CE standard
for gas appliances. We will not give any guarantees if
the Solea is fitted and/or installed in an incomplete or
improper manner. The pipe system consists of an inner
pipe with a diameter of 80 millimetres and an outer pipe
with a diameter of 150 millimetres.
The appliance may only be installed and connected by
a certified installer in accordance with the installation
instructions mentioned below. Furthermore, the national
and local rules and regulations on placing and using
closed gas appliances shall be applicable.
Before installing the appliance, the installer must check
whether the information on the type tag of the fireplace
corresponds with the gas type and gas pressure to which
the appliance is connected. If it does not match, you are
not allowed to connect the Solea.
Placing
The gas fireplace can be placed in a crack-free and/or
mechanically ventilated home without difficulty. There
is no need for extra ventilation for combustion or for
a smoke and fire vent. Waste gases are discharged by
natural draught via the inner pipe into the open. The
oxygen needed for burning the fire is supplied from
the space between the pipes. This is the reason that no
insulation must be placed between the inner and outer
pipe.
The Solea must not be built into the wall, and must
be placed on a floor that is solid enough to hold the
appliance. The distance from the Solea to the rear wall
must be at least 10 cm, and there must be a free space
of at least 20 centimetres to the right and left side of the
fireplace.
If you have the turnable Solea, the distance from the gas
hearth to the walls must be at least 20 cm in any turned

position. For fire safety, the distance between the glass
side of the hearth and the wall must never be less than 80
cm in any turned position. Be sure to place the Solea on
a solid floor plumb under the flue pipe. If the fireplace is
out of plumb with the concentric pipe system, the hearth
cannot be turned.
Insulation
Due to the high temperatures of the exterior walls (up
to approximately 150 °C or 300 °F) it is prohibited to
have or to place any combustible materials close to
the channel system. The entire concentric pipe system
should be encased from the place where it is out of sight
up to the outlet in the exterior wall. Ventilate the encased
concentric pipe system by placing a grid near the floor
and the ceiling on every floor. Use universal wall clips
with a diameter of 150 mm for anchoring the concentric
pipe system.
If an existing chimney is used, first make sure whether
the chimney is sufficiently insulated and with sufficient
diameter to accommodated the concentric pipe system.
If the chimney was previously used as a wood-burning or
coal-fired stove, the chimney must first be professionally
cleaned. You must use special WANDERS connecting
sets for connecting a gas hearth to an existing chimney.
Gas connection
• Use a feed pipe with an approved G3/8" stop cock
with coupling. The gas connection of the appliance
is located in the base. The gas pipe can be connected
via the floor or via the rear side. If you connect the gas
mains to the rear, the bursting disc at the rear of the
base must be broken.
• You must use the 12-mm compression coupling,
which is already mounted on the base.
• De-aerate the supply pipe before fitting and fastening
the appliance.
• Avoid tension on the operating valve and pipes to
avoid gas leakage.
• Check if the connection is gastight.
