2Safety instructions
Please note!
It is advisable to always install a screen for the fire-
place if children, elderly or disabled people are
present in the same room as the fireplace. If regu-
larly 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 man-
ual 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 lo-
cated. 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 materi-
als and carpeted floors, etc. are attracted.
These parts can settle as soot on cold sur-
faces. 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-
place. Heat the stove for a few hours at the highest
setting so that the paint gets the chance to harden
and any released vapors 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 exist-
ing or new false chimney.
•For transport reasons, for appliances with
flexible gas pipes, the control unit (fig.
1.4) 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-com-
bustible 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 wallpa-
per to prevent discoloration and cracks
etc., minimum drying time 24 hours per
mm applied finish.
•The false chimney construction should not
rest on the build-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 in-
stalled).
•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 mate-
rials Faber can guarantee proper perfor-
mance.
•The distance to combustible materials
must be min. 50mm, calculated from out-
side of the flue material (EN 1856-1 T600
N1 D Vm –L20040 O(50)).
Outlets (fig. 1.6)
The balanced flue pipe for combined air supply and
discharge can use a wall terminal or a roof termi-
nal. 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 di-
ameter of 100/150mm.
C91, existing chimney
For an existing chimney, use a Faber chimney out-
let 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 ex-
isting chimney ducts, please request the installa-
tion instructions “Chimney Connection Set”.

4Preparation and installation instruc-
tions
4.1 Gas connection
The gas connection must comply with the applica-
ble local standards.
Please note!
•Provide a flexible gas connection with at
least 0,5m extra length, so that the con-
trol unit can be removed for installation
and service!
•Calculate the gas pipe so that no pres-
sure 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 fire-
place for connecting the Control box FAB1806.
See fig. 1.5 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 Fa-
ber 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 regula-
tor.
4.5 Positioning the fireplace
Take into account the installation requirements
(see chapter 3). Place the fireplace at the right
place and level it (see “C” in fig. 1.0 and 1.2).
Rough height adjustment:
•With the adjustable (optional) legs.
Accurate height adjustment:
•With the adjustable feet.
4.6 Installing the flue pipes
Install the flue pipes according to the installation
manual supplied with the appliance!
•The distance to combustible materials
must be min. 50mm, calculated from the
outside of the flue pipe.
•Never start immediately with length-ad-
justable concentric flue pipe on the appli-
ance.
•Horizontal sections should be installed to
allow a slope towards the appliance
(3 degrees).
•Build the system from the appliance. 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 de-
fined in chapter 7 “Checking the installation”.
False chimney
•Construct the false chimney of non-com-
bustible 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 fire-
place.
•Make sure that the fireplace never func-
tions as a load-bearing construction, be-
cause of the expansion of the fireplace
through warmth.
Ventilation
Correct ventilation prevents damaging overheating
of the gas regulator block and its electronics and
also limits the temperature of the convection air.
Use the supplied Faber ventilation grids or a similar
alternative with a minimum free passage of
200cm² per grid, in the space above the fire, when
building the false chimney. Within the false chim-

ney, a horizontal screen plate, made of non-com-
bustible material, must be installed just above the
ventilation openings. (see A in fig. 1.0 and 1,2).
Installation and finishing
Please note!
•Take into account a minimum distance of
2 mm due to expansion of the fireplace.
•Take into account the thickness of any fin-
ishing layer!
Method I: installation WITH cover strip
(see F, Fig. 3.0a)
For installation and finishing the following
points are of interest (fig. 3.0b):
G = Build-in frame
H = Spacer profile
•Build the false chimney against the build-
in frame Gand the spacer profile H(Fig.
3.0b).
•Do not build the false chimney (under-
neath the appliance) higher than the top
of the distance profile H.
Method II without cover strip (see Fig. 3.1a)
For installation and finishing the following
points are of interest (fig. 3.1b:
I = Build-in frame
J = Glass support
K = Upper side of combustion chamber
setting
•Remove all-round spacer profile H
(Fig. 3.0b).
Please note!
Ensure that the screws of the spacer profiles H
are replaced to ensure the air tightness of the
device.
•For the height of the platform, observe
point K(Fig. 3.1b).
•Due to the expansion of the fireplace,
there should be at least 2mm play be-
tween the platform and the glass supports
J(Fig. 3.1b).
