4 Safety
4.1 Safety instructions for installation
Warning:
• Installation must be done by a qualified installer.
• Install the appliance in accordance with the following installation
instructions and the national and local applicable regulations.
•Make sure that the area around the fireplace is free of flammable material
at all times. The minimum safe distance is 180 cm.
• Do not install the appliance against flammable materials. Refer to chapter
5 for minimum clearances and suitable insulation material.
Caution:
• Install the appliance on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. Refer
to chapter
9 for the weight of the appliance.
• It is not allowed to connect the appliance to a flue that is also connected to
another appliance.
• Make sure that the chimney has no creaks and is in general good order.
• Install a suitable cap on the chimney outlet to avoid birds' nests build in the
chimney.
• Parts in the appliance can be moved during transportation. Make sure
these parts are in the correct position. See the user manual.
• Do not use masking tape on the appliance. Masking tape can damage the
finish of the appliance.
• Make sure that the chimney temperature class is at least T400 sootfire
resistant.
• Do not install the appliance in a room with a ventilation system that makes
pressures below -15 Pa.
4.2 Safety instructions with regard to the environment
• Dispose of the packing materials in an environmentally friendly way.
• Dispose of ceramic heat-resistant glass as household waste. Do not dispose of
ceramic heat-resistant glass in a glass recycling container.
•Dispose of an obsolete appliance according to instructions of the authorities or the
fitter.
• Obey the local regulations.

5 Clearances
Warning: Follow the instructions in this chapter. Failure to follow these
instruction can create a fire hazard.
Warning: Do not put the appliance directly against a flammable or non-
flammable wall.
All clearances to flammable and non-flammable materials mentioned in this chapter must
be obeyed.
5.1 Insulating material requirements
• Use insulating plates with a maximum thermal conductivity of 0.10 W/m.K or a thermal
resistance of minimum 10 K.m/W. The table hereunder shows some examples of
suitable insulating plate materials.
Table 1: Examples of insulation plates
Examples of suitable plate material Thermal conductivity
Promat Promatect L insulating board 0.083 W/m.K
Skamol Skamotec 225 0.06 W/m.K
Skamol Super-Isol 0.08 W/m.K
• Only use white unbound ceramic insulation wool. Do not use glass wool or rock wool,
these materials can cause a bad smell, unwanted smoke and is not applicable for high
temperatures.
Table 2: Ceramic insulation wool requirements
Temperature resistance > 700 °C
Density > 80 kg/m3
5.2 Clearances to flammable or load-bearing walls
Put a non-flammable insulation plate between the appliance and the rear wall and side
wall according
Figure 7.
Table 3. shows the minimum thickness of the insulation plates and the minimum
clearances to flammable materials and walls.
Attention: Make sure there is a 3 mm clearance between the appliance and
the surrounding construction, to allow for expansion of the appliance during
use.

Clearances
Unilux-7 75 15

5.3 Clearance to flammable floor (under the appliance)
Put a non-flammable insulation plate with a minimum thickness of 30 mm under the
appliance. To avoid damage to this non-flammable plate, put ceramic or steel tiles
(approx. 10 x 10 cm) under the feet of the appliance.
5.4 Clearances to flammable ceiling
Put a non-flammable insulation plate (false ceiling) of minimum 75 mm thickness at a
height of minimum 50 cm above the appliance. Keep a free space of minimum 42.5 cm
between the insulation plate and the flammable ceiling.
Alternative without a false ceiling: Make an open space of minimum 50 cm height
between the chimney enclosure top side (complete width and depth of the enclosure) and
the flammable ceiling
Figure 8. and Table 4. show the minimum thickness of the insulation plates and the
minimum clearances to a flammable ceiling
Make sure the total area of the convection air outlet opening is minimum 300 cm2.

If a wooden beam is present above the appliance, make sure to protect it against direct
heat radiation. Make sure to put a non-flammable insulation plate with a thickness of
minimum 30 mm between the wooden beam and the appliance. with an air gap of
minimum 1 cm between the insulation plate and the wooden beam.
5.5 Clearances to non-flammable walls
Put a non-flammable insulation plate between the appliance and the rear wall and side
wall according
Figure 9.
Table 5. shows the minimum thickness of the insulation plates and the minimum
clearances to non-flammable materials and walls.
Attention: Make sure there is a 3 mm clearance between the appliance and
the surrounding construction, to allow for expansion of the appliance during
use.
