5.4.2 Insert fires (existing and new situation)

5.4.2.1 With an existing chimney or chimney breast

To install an insert fire with an existing chimney or chimney breast proceed as follows:
Ø
Determine the fire location. The dimensions of the appliance are given in Annex 2, Fig. 1.
Ø
Leave a space of at least 10 mm between the fire and construction materials.
Ø
Check the size of the recess. If necessary the walls of the open hearth can be broken out a little. Make sure that the
chimney top is still sufficiently supported.
Ø
If applicable make room for the connection of the convection openings (if applicable see section 9
'Appliance-specific information') with a flexible aluminium pipe and ventilation elements. These accessories can
be ordered from your supplier.
Ø
Be careful with the chimney breast plaster. Plaster beading makes the recess smaller.
Ø
Remove any existing valve from the open hearth or slide and clean the chimney top so all soot is removed.
Ø
Remove the fire door and disassemble the frame when it is supplied separately (see section 9 'Appliance-specific
information').
Ø
Carefully remove the vermiculite plates (mark them), the baffle plate and (if present) the restrictor cap from the
fire (if applicable see, section 9 'Appliance-specific information').
Ø
Lay any bottom plate supplied where the fire is to be installed.
Ø
Turn the adjustable legs in with the hexagonal socket screwdriver supplied and check whether they are properly
adjustable. There may still be some blasting grit present.
Ø
Make sure there is sufficient room under fire for the supply of combustion air when there is no outside air
connection.
Ø
An outside air connection can be made (if applicable see section 9 'Appliance-specific information').
Ø
Carefully slide the fire into the hole. Make sure that no damage is caused.
Ø
If applicable connect the convection opening with the flexible aluminium pipe and ventilation elements;
Ø
The fire may never support the flue.
Ø
Make a good, airtight seal between the fire and the flue, possibly with a register plate and preferably with a fixed
fire pipe or stainless steel double-walled flexible pipe that at least suffices with regard to standard EN 1856-2 T600.
Ø
If applicable, and depending on national regulations, the connection between the existing flue duct and the fire
may be plugged with heat-resistant ceramic wool
Proceed as follows:
Ø
Check whether the open hearth valve has been removed.
Ø
Remove the frame (if the frame is already fitted).
Ø
Remove the bottom plates and turn the fire as far as possible downwards with the adjustable legs to make space
for the ceramic wool.
Ø
Fill any space behind the fire with fire-resistant insulation material so no dirt can get in.
Ø
Remove the flame baffle plate.
Ø
Apply the ceramic wool between the top side of the fire and the chimney for an airtight connection.
Ø
Turn the fire up again with the adjustable legs and check whether the ceramic wool seals properly.
Ø
Replace the flame baffle plate (see section 9 'Appliance-specific information').
After the chimney has been swept always check that the connection is still airtight.
!Caution
Ø
A handy kit is available through your supplier for the direct connection of a stainless steel flexible pipe to the fire.
The use of a kit is, however, not required for all appliances (if applicable see section 9 'Appliance-specific
information').
Ø
After the fire has been connected turn the adjustable legs with the Allen key supplied until the fire is in the
desired position. Make sure that the combustion air supply is not blocked.
Ø
Replace the restrictor cap for the outflow, fit the inner lining plates in reverse order and place the baffle plate
against the back wall and on the profiles (if applicable see section 9 'Appliance-specific information').
Ø
Use a torch or a thin screwdriver to check that the secondary ventilation holes in the back wall are directly facing
the recesses in the interior lining.
Ø
If applicable replace the frame around the fire (if applicable see section 9 'Appliance-specific information').
