1.4

Gi fireplace compatibility

You can control the fireplace with an external

device (e.g., tablet, phone). This connection can

be established by connecting the Gi fireplace

directly to the router with a UTP cable or

through a wireless WiFi connection. In case the

fireplace is connected wirelessly to the home

router, in some cases the WiFi connection may

not work properly. This may be caused by

insufficient coverage (signal) of the WiFi

network or because connected devices (w.o.

phone, tablet, router) are not compatible.

The Gi fireplace and your external device must

be connected to the same router (via the same

network). The Wi-Fi signal can be checked

beforehand and improved if necessary.

Unfortunately, due to the wide variety of

devices, compatibility cannot be checked in

advance. Compatibility will only become clear

after installation of the interface. Kalfire accepts

no liability for the failure of the Gi fireplace to

function properly or at all due to causes

described here.

1.5

Safety

The following sections provide safety

information about the gas

fire:

- Safety related to installation

- Gas and electrical units already installed

- Installation regulations

- Safety regulations for decorative elements

- Safety related to use

- Three safety measures for the gas fire

2.1

Safety related to installation

Installation of the gas fire requires diligent

pursuit of procedures. During installation,

please adhere to the regulations that apply to

safety and health in your country (the Working

Conditions Act, for example).

General installation instructions:

•The procedures described may only be carried

out by authorised technical professionals.

•Follow the installation procedures diligently to

avoid damage and accidents.

•Use adequate protection resources during

installation.

•Ensure that local circumstances such as gas

pressure and the type of gas are consistent with

the information on the data identification plate

of the gas fire.

•Only install a gas fire in an area that has

sufficient ventilation in compliance with the

standards in force.

•Always conduct a chimney calculation, as

indicated in the Chimney Calculation.

•Always make use of a concentric flue duct

system that complies with the approval

conditions of your gas fire. Adhere to the

installation regulations as stated.

2.2

Gas and electrical units already

installed

Concentric flue duct system confirmation

The gas piping and gas control valve to the

fireplace need to be installed by an authorized

fitter and are not supplied with the appliance.

The diameter of the gas piping must be

determined for each appliance in compliance

with the directives in force:

•

NEN 1078 and NPR 3378 apply to The

Netherlands.

•

NBN D51-003 (chimney connection and

gas connection) applies to Belgium.

•

Arbeitsblatt G600 DVGW-TRGI applies to

Germany.

Checking the gas specifications

Check that the gas specifications match the

connection.

The data identification plate indicates the

suitable gas type and gas pressure of the gas

fire. This id plate is located on the left side of

the cooling slot on a metal plate. This can be

tilted upwards (see paragraph 5.5 ). To do this,

remove the front glass from the fireplace. A

second copy of the id plate is stuck on the

inside of the front cover of the user manual.

Ask Kalfire about the possibilities if you want to

use the gas fire in combination with another

type of gas.

Electrical installation confirmation

The electrical installation to the gas fire must be

installed by an approved fitter and is not

supplied with the appliance. Power

supply and required electrical power:

230V/60W VAC.

WARNING!

The gas fire needs a permanent power supply.

Errors recorded earlier are lost during any

interruption to power supply. Regular

interruption of the power supply impacts the

safety mechanisms, whereby hazardous

situations can arise.

WARNING!

If there is a two-phase network, an isolating

transformer must be installed. This transforms

the 2 phase network into a standard 1 phase

network of 230V.

2.3

Installation instructions

The following conditions must be adhered to

during installation:

•

Ensure sufficient ventilation where the

fireplace is to be installed.

WARNING!

Ensure sufficient ventilation in the area in which

the gas fire is to be installed. The installation

area is sufficiently ventilated if: The nominal

power of the appliance in kilowatt / content of

the installation area in cubic meters is less than

35.

•

Reference is made to both national and

local provisions in force to determine a safe

distance from the wall against which the

appliance is mounted and the adjacent

walls, roof ducts and windows.

•

Only non-flammable materials should be

used during installation of the gas fire.

WARNING!

The floor on which the appliance is mounted

must consist of heat-resistant material. Should

that not be the case, then no flammable

material may be placed under the appliance.

This also goes for the walls behind and adjacent

to the fireplace and the ceiling.

•

Walls to which the gas fireplace is attached

must not become warmer than 85°. This

applies both to static walls made of non-

combustible building materials and to walls

made of or with combustible building

materials, as well as to warm insulated walls

made of or with combustible building

materials. This requirement is ensured:

−

if the walls in question are protected

with a 3 cm thick calcium silicate board

with a thermal conductivity coefficient

of 0.1W/mK or other suitable insulation

with comparable thermal resistance,

−

if the gas fireplace is placed at a

distance of at least 2 cm (air gap) from

the dam layer.

−

and the specified convection air

openings have been created in

accordance with the installation

instructions, (paragraph 5.9)

After this, install the gas fire leaving a small air

gap between the gas fire and the fireproof

board material. The materials used for the gas

fire surround must be heat-resistant and

fireproof.

•

Under no circumstances must the gas

fireplace be insulated. Materials, plaster

and wallpaper used to finish the wall

(especially above the gas fire) must be

heat-resistant.

•

No flammable materials may be used close

to the concentric flue duct system. High

external wall temperatures up to

approximately 150°C form a burn hazard.

Keep a minimum distance of 55 mm from

flammable materials.

Figure 1:

a. Combustible wall or highly insulated wall with

a U-value ≤ 0.4W/m2K

b. 3 cm thick calcium silicate board with a

thermal conductivity of ≤ 0.1W/mK

c. Distance gas fire insulation material min. 2cm

(air gap)

CAREFUL!

The gas fire and the surround have different

expansion rates. The gas fire must be mounted

at least

4 mm

from the

surround

to prevent

damage. Too little room causes undesirable

material tension.

CAREFUL!

At the front, an air gap of at least

7 mm

must

remain free between the glass and the plateau

to allow for cooling of the E-box. This air gap

must not be covered after commissioning the

fireplace.

2.4

Safety instructions for decorative

filling

DANGER!

The decorative elements must be placed

according to the instructions. It is prohibited to

alter the number of decorative elements or the

configuration thereof. Such alterations can lead

to hazardous situations in terms of fire safety.

WARNING!

The ignition or ionisation rods must be left

uncovered. Ensure this is the case when placing

the decorative elements. Careless decoration of

the gas fire can cause incorrect ignition or a

hazardous situation.

WARNING!

If the fireplace is supplied with Natural Spark

Generator, the plastic filler cap should not be

removed during installation. The plastic filler

cap is required to ensure proper operation. The

filler cap is then covered with a piece of ceramic

log when decorating the fireplace.

CAREFUL!

During operation of the appliance, small

hairline cracks may develop in the ceramic logs.

These have no negative impact on the

operation or flame profile of the appliance.

Hairline cracks do not fall under the warranty.

CAREFUL!

When heated, the gas fires’s internal metal

lining can expand. This can cause the layer of

paint on the metal to deform, resulting in

damage or imperfections. The spray paint

supplied with the gas fire allows any paint

damage to be fixed.

2.5

Safety related to use

There are risks attached to using a gas fire. The

temperature of all visible parts of the gas fire

can rise steeply and there is a risk of fire or

combustion. Be sure that the following safety

precautions have been taken:

WARNING!

After installation of the gas fire, the visible parts

of the appliance (including the glass surface)

are considered as part of the active zone.

Especially the glass can get extremely hot!

Children and dependants are to stay clear of

the burning gas fire.

DANGER!

Make sure that flammable materials

such as

curtains and furniture are at least 100 cm from

the fireplace. If a fireguard is used, this distance

must be at least 40 cm.

Figure 2: Safe zone

WARNING!

Should the floor in front of the fireplace consist

of combustible material and the distance from

the underside of the combustion chamber to

the floor be smaller than 10 cm, a heat-resistant

fireguard floor plate larger than 30 cm or a

stone should be placed.

Danger of burning

WARNING!

Do not touch the appliance! The gas fire is hot

when switched on or just switched off. Ensure

extra safety precautions and safety measures if

less able-bodied persons, elderly people and/or

children have access to the fireplace. Only the

remote control can be used without fear of

danger due to combustion.

Danger caused by fumes or gas leaks

IMPORTANT!

Fumes and/or gas leaks can cause life

threatening situations. Fumes can be the cause

of carbon monoxide poisoning and gas leaks

are an explosion risk.

If you notice fumes or gas, take the following

precautions:

Switch off the gas fire.

Close the main gas valve.

Open windows and doors.

Advise an approved installer of the issue.

IMPORTANT!

Should damage occur, close the gas valve. Do

not use the gas fire if a glass panel is cracked, is

not in place or incorrectly mounted.
