2Safety instructions
Please note!
It is advisable to always install a screen for the
fireplace if children, elderly or disabled people are
present in the same room as the fireplace. If
regularly vulnerable persons can be present in the
room without supervision, sufficient protection
must always be placed around the fireplace.
This appliance must be installed according
with the rules in force and used only in a
sufficiently space.
The appliance must be checked annually
in accordance with this installation
manual and the applicable national and
local regulations.
Ensure that the data on the type label
matches the local gas type and pressure.
The appliance is designed for atmosphere
and heating purposes. This means that all
visible surfaces, including the glass, can
become hotter than 100°C. An exception
by free standing models is the underside
of the fireplace and the control buttons.
Do not use the remote control and / or
app outside the room where the fire is
located. So that you are always aware of
the situation around the fireplace when it
is being operated.
The settings and the construction of the
fireplace must not be changed!
Do not place extra imitation wood or
other material on the burner or in the
combustion chamber.
Do not place any combustible materials
within 0,5m of the radiation area of the
fire.
Through the natural air circulation of the
fireplace moisture and uncured volatile
components from paint, building
materials and carpeted floors, etc. are
attracted. These parts can settle as soot
on cold surfaces. Therefore do not light
the fireplace shortly after installation.
2.1 Using the fire for the first time
Provide extra ventilation and open all the windows
of the room during the initial start-up of the fire.
Let the fire burn at the highest setting for a few
hours so that the paint gets the chance to harden
and any released vapours are safely removed. Keep
vulnerable people and pets out of this room during
this process.

3Installation requirements
3.1 Appliance
This appliance may not be installed in a
chlorine-containing environment. (Pools
etc.).
This appliance must be built into an
existing or new false chimney.
For transport reasons, for appliances with
flexible gas pipes, the control unit (fig.
1.6) is mounted at the bottom of the
crate. Detach and mount it together with
the control box and remote access door in
as low as possible position in the false
chimney. (See supplied instruction manual
40011721).
(To prevent damage to cables and pipes
during transport, they are bound together
by tie wraps. Remove these to ensure
proper operation of the appliance.)
If desired, a 2 meter pipe set is available
(article number 20901530).
3.2 False chimney
The false chimney should be of non-
combustible material.
The space above the fire should always be
ventilated using grids with minimal free
passage of 200cm² per grid.
Use for finishing special decorative plaster
(min. 100°C resistant) or fiberglass
wallpaper to prevent discoloration and
cracks etc., minimum drying time 24 hours
per mm applied finish.
The false chimney construction should not
rest on the built-in frame of the fireplace.
3.3 Discharge and outlet requirements
First, carry out a flue calculation (see chapter 11)
and place the right flue restrictor before installing
the outlet! (Generally a 30mm flue restrictor is
installed).
For supply and discharge always use the
prescribed and to be supplied Faber flue
materials. Please contact Glen Dimplex
Benelux B.V. Only with use of these
materials Faber can guarantee proper
performance.
The distance to combustible materials
must be min. 50mm, calculated from
outside of the flue material (EN 1856-1
T600 N1 D Vm –L20040 O(50)).
Outlets (fig. 1.8)
The balanced flue pipe for combined air supply and
discharge can use a wall terminal or a roof
terminal. Verify that the desired outlet meets the
local regulations regarding pollution and
ventilation openings.
Please note!
For proper functioning, the outlet must at
least be 0,5m away from:
Corners of the building;
Roof overhangs and balconies;
Roof edges (with the exception of the
ridge edge, see chapter 15).
C11, outlet via facade
Through a wall or façade, use a Faber wall outlet.
Depending on the flue calculation this can be
100/150mm or 130/200mm.
C31, outlet via roof
For a (flat) roof, use a Faber roof outlet with a
diameter of 100/150mm.
C91, existing chimney
For an existing chimney, use a Faber chimney
outlet with a diameter of 100/150mm.
In this case the existing chimney acts as air inlet an
inserted flexible stainless steel pipe discharges the
flue gas. The top (Faber chimney cover plate) and
the bottom (Faber chimney connection set) should
be airtight.
Depending on the calculated flue diameter, you
must use a flexible stainless steel pipe of
Ø100mm (article number AJ005503) or Ø130mm
(article number AJ005603) as specified by Faber.
For this, contact Glen Dimplex Benelux B.V.
Please note!
The minimum chimney diameter for a
130mm flexible stainless steel pipe must
be 200x200mm and for a 100mm flexible
stainless steel pipe and 150x150mm.
Don’t connect more than one fire at the
existing chimney.
The chimney must be in good condition:
oNo leakage;
oWell cleaned.
For more information about the connections to
existing chimney ducts, please request the
installation instructions “Chimney Connection Set”.

4Preparation and installation
instructions
4.1 Gas connection
The gas connection must comply with the
applicable local standards.
Please note!
Provide a flexible gas connection with at
least 0,5m extra length, so that the
control unit can be removed for
installation and service!
Calculate the gas pipe so that no
pressure drop occurs.
We advise using a gas connection directly from the
gas meter to the appliance, with a shut-off valve in
the proximity of the appliance, which must always
be freely accessible. Position the gas connection so
that it is easily accessible for service and the
burner unit can be disassembled at any time.
4.2 Electrical connection
Install a 230VAC/50Hz wall socket near the
fireplace for connecting the Control box FAB1806.
See fig. 2.8 for the wiring diagram:
A = I.T.C. (Intelligent Technical Controller)
B = electronics
C = gas valve
D = solenoid valve
E = Symbio LED module (optional)
F = ignition pin
G = ionization pin
H = power cable
I = configuration plug
4.3 Smart Home installation
The controller can be connected to an external
source, such as a Domotica system, by using a
Faber Interface Unit (article number A9323000).
4.4 Preparing the fireplace
Remove the fireplace from its packaging.
Ensure that the gas supply pipes under
the appliance are not damaged.
Remove the glass and any mouldings,
store them at a safe place and remove the
packaged parts from the fireplace.
Prepare the gas connection on the
regulator.
4.5 Positioning the fireplace
Take into account the installation requirements
(see chapter 3). Place the fireplace at the right
place and level it.
Rough height adjustment:
With the adjustable (optional) legs.
Accurate height adjustment:
With the adjustable feet.
Hanging on the wall
The fireplace can also be mounted on the wall by
using the optional wall bracket set, see attachment
16.9 (article number A9322996).
Therefore remove the existing brackets and use
the supplied spacer for vertical alignment, see fig.
1.7.
4.6 Mounting flue gas exhaust materials
Assemble the flue gas exhaust materials according
to the installation manual supplied with the flue
gas exhaust material!
The distance to combustible materials
must be min. 50mm, calculated from
outside of the flue material.
Never start immediately with length-
adjustable concentric flue material on the
appliance.
Horizontal sections should be installed to
allow a slope towards the fireplace
(3 degrees).
Build the system from the fireplace. If this
is not possible you can make use of an
extendable adapter section.
For fitting of the flue system, the 0,5m
length-adjustable pipe must be used.
Make sure that the inner pipe is always
15mm longer than the outer pipe. Wall-
and roof terminal can also be cut. These
components must be secured with a self-
tapping screw.
4.7 Constructing the false chimney
Before positioning the false chimney, we advise to
perform a functional test with the fireplace as
defined in chapter 7 “Checking the installation”.
False chimney
Construct the false chimney of non-
combustible material in combination with
metal profiles or of masonry/concrete
blocks.
Always use a lintel or reinforcing bars
while bricking the false chimney. They
should not be placed directly on the
fireplace.
Make sure that the fireplace never
functions as a load-bearing construction,
because of the expansion of the fireplace
through warmth.
