Preface

DRU, a manufacturer of gas-ﬁred heating appliances, develops and produces pro-

ducts that comply with the highest quality, performance and safety requirements.

This will enable you to enjoy using this product for many years to come.

The appliance is provided with a CE mark. Gas-ﬁred appliances that comply

with the requirements for safety, environment and energy consumption (the

so-called essential requirements) of the European gas appliance directive, are

entitled to carry the CE mark.

Your appliance should be installed and maintained by a competent installer in

the ﬁeld of atmospheric gas-ﬁred heating.

Two manuals are supplied with the appliance: the installation manual and the

user manual.

The user manual will give you the information you need to operate the ap-

pliance properly and safely.

Carefully read this user manual prior to using the appliance.

Keep the user manual AND the installation manual in a safe place.

As a user you are only entitled to perform the work described in the user ma-

nual. Any other work requires a competent installer.

In case of questions or doubts, please contact your installer.

The following symbols are used in the manual to indicate important information:

You will need these instructions to prevent problems that might occur during use.

Caution

You need these instructions to prevent re, personal injury or other serious da-

mages

1. Introduction

Your appliance can possibly be supplied in two versions; in addition to the

standard model DRU can also supply a tunnel model. The standard model is

always mounted against a wall. The tunnel model (look-through appliance)

has a pane at both the front and back. It can be used as a separator between

two living rooms.

Your appliance is a room-sealed atmospheric gas-ﬁred heating appliance. A

room-sealed appliance does not extract the combustion air from the living

environment, but from outside. This is done by means of a combined ﬂue gas

discharge system / combustion air supply system. This system can be instal-

led through the wall or through the roof.

If necessary, the appliance will be built in a chimney breast. A chimney breast

must always be ventilated in order to be able to discharge heat properly.

The appliance is operated by means of a wireless remote control that works

on batteries. For some appliances, no control hatch is supplied. In that case,

the receiver and gas control are placed under the appliance.

2. SAFETY

2.1 General

Caution

- Carefully read this chapter on safety;

- Observe the precautions/instructions in this manual.

2.2 Precautions / safety instructions

Carefully observe the following precautions/regulations:

➠

your appliance should only be installed and maintained by a competent instal-

ler in the eld of atmospheric gas-red heating;

➠

do not make any changes to the appliance yourself;

➠

have your appliance maintained for at least 1x per year;

➠

close the gas tap if the appliance ignites with a pop sound and/or poorly and

contact the installer;

➠

close the gas tap in case of malfunctions and/or poor performance of the ap-

pliance and contact the installer;

➠

u s e r m a n u a l

English

distance from the appliance and/or the ues of at least 50 cm;

➠

do not dry clothes, towels etc. on and/or near the appliance, in order to prevent re;

➠

avoid contact with hot parts of the appliance to prevent burns;

➠

do not leave children and persons who cannot judge the consequences of their

actions alone with a burning appliance;

➠

place the remote control out of reach from children and persons who cannot

properly judge the consequences of their actions.

➠

If the appliance will not be used for an extended period of time, we recommend

removing the batteries from the remote control and receiver. This will prevent

damage to the appliance due to leaking batteries.

3. Taking the appliance in operation

3.1 For the ﬁrst time

When using a chimney breast, it has to be dry before you take the appliance

into operation. This is to prevent shrinkage cracks.

!Caution

If the chimney breast is made of stone-like materials or has been nished in stuc-

co, it should be left to dry for at least 6 weeks prior to taking it into operation.

In order to be able to use the wireless remote control, you must set a communica-

tion code between the remote control and the receiver, prior to putting the appli-

ance into operation; for this, see section 4.2.1, Setting the communication code.

When the appliance is stoked up for the ﬁrst time, an unpleasant smell may

occur as volatile components evaporate from paint, materials, etc. This may

take a number of hours.

Caution

- Pets and birds in particular can be sensitive to the vapours that are released;

- In the beginning the ame image is aected by the evaporation of volatile

components.

After burning the appliance for the ﬁrst time, allow it to cool down to room

temperature and clean the glass pane(s); see chapter 5.

!Tip

- Set the appliance to its highest level to speed up the evaporation process;

- Keep the room well ventilated;

- Remove pets from the room.

3.2 Protection

To prevent unsafe situations, you should carefully observe the following

measures/instructions.

UK

5

u s e r m a n u a l

English

Caution

- Make sure that combustible objects and/or materials such as curtains have a

distance from the appliance and/or the ues of at least 50 cm;

- Do not dry clothes, towels etc. on and/or near the appliance, in order to pre-

vent re;

- Avoid contact with hot parts of the appliance to prevent burns;

- Do not leave children and persons who cannot judge the consequences of

their actions alone with a burning appliance;

- Place the remote control out of reach from children and persons who cannot

properly judge the consequences of their actions.

3.3 Discoloration of walls and ceilings

A brown discoloration is an unpleasant and difﬁcult to solve problem. Brown

discoloration can be caused by burning substances as a result of insufﬁcient

ventilation, smoking, burning candles, oil lamps, etc. Cigarette and cigar smo-

ke contain tar substances that are deposited on colder walls.

These problems can be (partly) solved through a proper ventilation of the

room where the appliance is placed.

4. Control

The appliance is supplied with a remote control. Ignition, controlling the

ﬂame height and switching off are performed by the remote control that ope-

rates a receiver in the control hatch. For some appliances, no control hatch is

supplied. In that case, the receiver is placed under the appliance.

The receiver and remote control are battery powered. The receiver requires 4

penlite (AA type) batteries, the remote control requires a 9V block battery. At

normal use, the batteries will have an average life of one year.

You can also use an optional adapter. Ask your installer for information. In

that case you will need a 230 V connection near your appliance.

4.1 Receiver

The receiver is located in the control hatch (see ﬁg. 1) or is placed under the

appliance.

4.1.1 Replacing batteries

If the receiver’s batteries are almost empty, you will hear 3 short beep sounds,

provided the little motor for controlling the main burner is running (see sec-

tion 4.2.2.1).

To replace the batteries, proceed as follows:

➠

Open the door of the control hatch.

UK

u s e r m a n u a l

English

!Caution

Free-standing appliances and appliances with open combustion do not have

a control hatch. If you have a free-standing appliance or appliance with open

combustion, please follow the instructions in the installation manual for your

appliance.

➠

Pick up the receiver.

➠

Slide the cover o.

➠

Remove and place the 4 penlite (AA type) batteries.

!Caution

- Avoid a short circuit between the batteries and metal objects/parts;

- Observe the “+” and “-” poles of the batteries and the holder;

- Use alkaline batteries;

- Batteries are regarded as “small chemical waste” and may therefore not be

disposed with the household rubbish.

➠

Slide back the cover.

➠

Place the receiver (V) as indicated in g. 1

!Caution

- Do not place the antenna (N) too close to the ignition cable and/or metal parts:

make sure the antenna is pointing upwards (for the correct position, see g. 1);

- Make sure the ignition cable is not running over/alongside metal parts: this

will weaken the spark;

- Do not lay the ignition cable over the receiver: this could damage the receiver.

4.2 Remote control

The appliance’s standard func-

tions such as ignition, control-

ling the ﬂame height, standby

(pilot burner) position and

switching off are performed in

the MAN position, the manual

control of the remote control

(see ﬁg. 2a and 2b).

In addition, the remote control

can also be used to set a num-

ber of additional functions:

- temperature display in de-

grees Celsius or Fahrenheit;

- time;

- thermostat function;

- timer for thermostat func-

tion.

Caution

Although highly improbable, we cannot rule out that your appliance’s ignition pro-

cess can be started unintentionally through other remote controls. This could be

the remote control of your neighbours’ gas heater, but also car keys and garage

door openers.

The result will be that your appliance will burn when you do not want it to.

Unintended ignition of your appliance could be solved/prevented by:

- setting a new communication code between remote control and receiver

(see section 4.2.1);

- when left unattended for a longer period, set button A on the gas control to the position

MAN (see section 4.2.2.1);

- close the gas tap near your appliance. This is the safest precaution, if the

appliance will not be used for a longer period;

- Observe stated precautions / safety instructions - even if the appliance is not in use.

4.2.1 Setting the communication code

Prior to putting the application into operation, a communication code must be set

between the remote control and the receiver. The code is chosen randomly from the

65000 available codes. As a result, the chance that other remote controls near you

are using the same code and affect the operation of your appliance is very small.
