6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To install a replace as safely as possible, several installation preparations
need to be made. This overview can be used to assure the re safety of
a conversion of a replace.
6�1 ROOMDIVIDER INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The replace is supplied with a installation bracket. This bracket can be
used instead of the side glass to keep the frame xed while installing.
In order to prevent the side glass pane from being under to much tension
it is strongly recommended to connect the topside of the replace to the
ceiling or any other support structure. The replace has two rod ends
installed at the topside and is supplied with 2 turnbuckles that can be
used to connect the repalce to a support structure.
6�2�1 PROTECTION OF WALL AND CEILING
There are two kinds of walls/ceilings that can be distinguished,
respectively;
• Walls/ceilings made of ammable building materials or containing
ammable building materials and all walls with ammable objects
(e.g. built-in furniture, wooden panels) on the wall facing away from
the replace.
• Walls/ceilings made of mineral building materials, such as aerated
concrete, bricks, sand-lime brick, etc. thicker than 10 cm.
6�3 FIRE-SAFE ASSEMBLY REGULATIONS
6�3�1 GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULATIONS
• Load-bearing walls and ceilings must be covered in a protective re
resistant plate.
• Never use ammable materials around the replace or cove. The
minimal distance between the device and non-ammable materials
must be at 50 mm to ensure a convection air ow. The frames
around the replace take into account this distance.
• Non-combustible materials may be installed to a zero clearance to
the outer faces of the appliance outer frame face, given they not
cover or prevent the removal of the glass panels or other parts of
the replace that need to be removed during maintenance.
• The entire weight of the walls must be borne by a structure other
than the replace.
6�3�2 ASSEMBLY REGULATIONS FOR NON-FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
(Figure 6.3 | and Figure 6.4 |)
• Make sure there is a good air ventilation in the cove. The
temperature that leaves through the ventilation grilles must not be
higher than 85°C. Therefore one should always make sure there are
enough ventilation grilles in the upper and lower parts of the cove.
6�3�3 ASSEMBLY REGULATIONS WITH FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
For reference see Figure 6.2 | and Figure 6.5 | on the next page.
• Cover the walls/ceilings with a non-ammable, re resistant plate,
according to EN 13501-1:A2
• Place a non-ammable, re resistant plate in front of the rst one at
a distance of 20mm or more.
• Make sure that the two plates are not attached to each other by
screws or nails. Due to their conductivity these metals can cause a
heat bridge throught which a re may occur over time!

6�2 FIRE SAFETY DEVICE SET-UP
Install the device such that there are no ammable materials around the
device or chimney. The device must never be placed against a back wall
of ammable materials.
Flammable materials, such as wood, can combust at a temperature of
85°C. At high temperatures this can happen within several minutes (over
200°C) or at lower temperatures (more than 85°C) this may occur over a
period of weeks.
A gas replace can achieve temperatures of over 200°C. Therefore one
should use only non-ammable materials around the replace and in
the cove.
It is important to follow the installation regulations below carefully. If
there are no regulations in the country of installation regarding aspects
of re safety then it is recommended to follow instructions according to
NPR 3378-20:2010
