1. INSTALLATION
The way your Insert Fireplace is installed will
decisively affect safety issues and how it works.
It is important to install the fireplace correctly.
In order to ensure your insert fireplace has been
installed correctly, it should be installed by a
professional.
Your insert fireplace heats by means of radiation,
heating walls, ceiling... directly and by forced air
convection, thanks to its internal fan.
1.1
HOT AIR OUTLET OPTIONS.
TOP GRILLE AIR FLOW
This is the STANDARD air exit. Air enters through
the lower section, "A", and the internal fan forces
the hot air through the top section "B".
AIR FLOW THROUGH THE HOOD
This option is compatible with
mentioned above.
Brick hoods must include holes at the bottom and
at the top. These gaps can be covered by
ornamental grilles to facilitate the flow of air. Cold
air enters through the lower section, "C" and exits
through the higher section "D" ( take into account
that your Insert Fireplace provides most of its heat
by convection). If the ventilation holes in the hood
are not large enough, the device may be damaged
if it is unable to dissipate the heat.
IMPORTANT! The minimum gap recommended
for air input is 200 cm ² of free air passage through
the grille.
(The air input grilles in the hood must be
located in such a way that they cannot be
blocked).
1.2
CHIMNEYS.
The way the insert fireplace works depends on:
d) The chimney.
e) How it is used.
f) The quality of the fuel used.
What is the "chimney draw"?
The tendency hot air has to rise generates the
chimney effect.
- Wind speed. Usually, sustained strong winds
increase chimney draw but stormy winds have a
negative effect.
- External temperature. The colder it is outside,
the greater the chimney effect.
- Atmospheric pressure. The chimney effect is
usually poor on rainy, damp or stormy days.
- Intensity of the fire. The hotter the fire, the
stronger the chimney effect.
- Cracks in the chimney, badly sealed or dirty
doors, air entering through pipe joints, other
devices connected to the chimney.... may have a
negative effect on chimney draw.

NOTE. When installing any type of insulation to
safeguard the heat cover, take the following obligatory
recommendations into account:
