6�4 OTHER RULES REGARDING HEAT IN YOUR INSTALLATION
When igniting a replace three types of heat are emitted from it. These
three types have dierent requirements to be taken into account.
6�4�1 RADIANT HEAT
Radiant heat is the pleasant warmth we all like when thinking about a
replace.
When the replace is turned on, radiant heat will escape through the
ceramic glass and metal exterior of the replace and will heat up the
environment. Therefore it is important that
• A minimal distance between the ceramic glass and any ammable
material in front of the replace is 40cm.
Floor protection
Between the device and the ground a minimal distance of 10cm is to be
taken into account. The temperature of the oor under the device needs
be less than 85°C and the oor of the conversion around the replace
is to be constructed of non-ammable materials. If necessary the oor
is to be covered with an insulation layer to protect it from unauthorized
temperatures.
It is also allowed to position the replace on an elevated platform. The
platform also needs to meet the requirements for a safe installation.
6�4�2 CONVECTION
The majority of the heat produced by Element4 replaces is quickly
given o to the air around the replace. Convection is this transfer of
heat through air.
Because most of the replace is installed inside of the construction of
an enclosure, most of the air surrounding the replace warmed up, is
located inside the enclosure.
Hot air will rise up in the false chimney breast (see Figure 6.6 ) also
between the wall panels as in Figure 6.5 and Figure 6.2. If the false
chimney breast is not ventilated then the hot air could expand up to the
point where the false chimney breast could crack or break. Therefore
several precautions need to be taken into account,
Hot air outlets / ventilation grills
in order to vent the hot air from the top of the false chimney breast a
ventilation grill is required (Figure 6.7). The ventilation grills are to be
placed at a minimal distance of 20cm from the ceiling and 30cm from
any built-in furniture from the side, any ammable material or load-
bearing concrete parts.
False ceiling
To avoid heat accumulation in the cove a non-ammable false ceiling
may be placed above the grilles. The ventilation grills need to be easy
to clean at all times.
6�4�3 ELECTRICAL PIPES
The conversion has to be free of the usual electric installation pipes, if
these are not protected against temperatures over 30°C by the necessary
precautions. Special pipelines with an heightened heat resistance are
permitted.
6�4�4 OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
This appliance is meant for indoor use. In the case that an Element4
appliance is to be installed as part of an indoor outdoor construction,
or anywhere in direct contact with outdoor circumstances, a
number of safety precautions are to be taken into account.
For more information on an (semi-)outdoor installation of an Element4
product please contact your dealer.
