tured to high standards and tested for compliance with SANS 10087-1
The manufacturer and /or its agents and distributors will not be held re-
sponsible for injuries or damages caused by faulty or incorrect installation or
use of the appliance.
1. This fireplace provides radiant and convection heat both efficiently and safe-
ly, using the latest technology, without the need of a flue. This appliance consumes
oxygen when in use and it is important that it is only used in a well ventilated
area, for the efficient performance of the appliance and for the safety of the
occupants of the area.
2. No permanent ventilation is required if the room is 97m³ or larger,but an
opening window or louver is required. Should the room size be smaller than 97m³
then permanent ventillation will be required. This volume may include adjacent
spaces connected by permanent openings and not separated by a door.
3. The fireplace must not be installed in an enclosed bathroom.
4. The fireplace must not be installed in a bedroom without the provision of
permanent ventilation.
5. Where applicable, the min. free area of ventilation must be 13 cm² per mJ of
heat input. The heat input of other gas, wood, coal or paraffin appliances must be
included in the calculations. It is the installer’s responsibility to do these calculations.
6. This appliance may only be installed by a registered LP Gas installer
and must comply with the requirements of SANS 10087-1. Ask to be shown
the installer’s card with his registration number, before allowing the installation work
to commence and make a note of his QCC number. Upon completion of the installa-
tion, the installer is required to explain the operational details of the appliance to-
gether with the safety instructions. You will be asked to sign acceptance of the in-
stallation and be provided with a completion certificate. You should only sign for ac-
ceptance of installation, upon commitment from the installer, that it complies with
SANS 10087-1 and is to your satisfaction.
Note that if the guarantee card is not signed by yourself and the installer and
returned to the manufacturer, the product guarantee is invalid.
7. On initial lightup of your new fireplace, the “newness” will burn off within the
first few hours of operation. During this period some smoke may be emitted from the
unit, this should be no cause for concern. Accordingly, the room should be well
vetilated with all windows open during this period.
8.Humidity levels will rise with the use of your fireplace, but with the usual
dryness of winter, it will surely be welcomed. Should the humidity become
overbearing, open the windows for a short period to ventilate the room.
