Introduction
Installation and maintenance of the appliance must
be carried out by a professional with proven
knowledge and competence. A professional takes
into account all technical aspects such as heat
radiation and gas connection as well as flue gas
exhaust requirements.
Where the installation instructions are not clear,
national/local regulations must be followed.
Check
Check the fire for transport damage and
immediately report any damage to your supplier.
CE Declaration
We hereby declare that Glen Dimplex Benelux B.V.
released Faber gas-atmosphere heating appliance
by its design and construction method complies
with the Regulation (EU): 2016/426 and (EU)
2015/1188.
Safety instructions for the user
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.
As a fire is a source of heat, hot air
circulation is created. As a result of
natural air circulation, moisture and not
yet cured volatile components from paint,
building materials and carpeted floors are
included in this air circulation. These parts
can settle as soot on cold surfaces. The
moment, using the fire for the first time,
depends on various circumstances.
Consult your installer/dealer about this
matter.
The appliance is designed for atmospheric
and heating purposes, meaning that all
visible surfaces, including the glass, can
become hotter than 100 ° C. An exception
for free standing models is the underside
of the fireplace and the control buttons.
The fire cannot be used when: the glass is
damaged or removed or when the
combustion chamber is open.
Do not place flammable materials inside
the combustion chamber.
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.
Do not allow children to use the remote
control without supervision.
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.
Cleaning and maintenance
The device must be cleaned and checked by a
qualified specialist to ensure the safe use and to
guarantee a long service life.
The outside of the fire can be cleaned with a clean
damp cloth.
Cleaning of the glass
Remove the glass as described in the installation
instructions. The glass can be cleaned with Faber
glass polish. This is a specially formulated cleaning
agent that can be ordered at authorised Faber
dealers. Never use aggressive cleaning agents or
abrasive products.
Please note!
Avoid fingerprints on the glass, these are no
longer removable once the fire is used.

Operation I.T.C. “Intelligent Technical
Controller” (fig. 1.4)
The I.T.C. controls, monitors, records the
consumption and if necessary, gives warning and
error codes. The I.T.C. is not connected to the
internet and not accessible to third parties from
the outside. Only in combination with the optional
available Domotica Interface Unit is it possible, if
desired, to realise connection at a great distance.
Control is possible with remote control,
Smartphone or Tablet. All 3 use a Bluetooth
connection with the fire. The latter has a limited
range so that you need to be in the vicinity of the
fire at all times.
Starting procedure
Starting the fire is done according to a built-in
procedure. This procedure may differ per type of
fire. During this procedure no commands can be
entered. This is shown on the remote control by a
white flashing LED and in the App this will be
visible on the display. If a start-up procedure is
aborted by the user or the fire does not ignite at
the end of the start-up procedure, then there is a
waiting period of 30 sec. after switching off before
it will be possible to restart. The waiting time
increases in case of multiple starting attempts.
After 3 full attempts, the I.T.C. is blocked for at
least half an hour. The I.T.C. restores itself after
this half hour. The waiting period is visible in the
App.
If during normal use the fire is switched off it is
possible to switch it on again after 15 seconds.
Automatic internal control of the electronics
The burner control automatically checks the
correct operation twice per 24 hours. After 12
hours the first check takes place, but this is skipped
if the device is actually burning. If the device is
burning at the second attempt 12 hours later, the
device is switched off and switched on again
immediately after checking the safety system and
will return to the position in which the device was
before the test.
Please note!
If it is not possible anymore to operate the fire
using the remote control or App, the fire can
be switched on/off with the on/off button on
the I.T.C., see fig. 1.4. (The latter is located
behind the small service door).
Fire OFF: Press On/Off button briefly.
Fire ON: Press and hold On/Off button until the
LED turns green.
(If released earlier the start is interrupted).
At pressing longer, the flame will change from low
to high and from narrow to wide. Release the
button at the moment when the desired position
has been reached. If the button is not released, the
fire will automatically switch off.
(If the button is pressed longer than 5 min., the
I.T.C. shows an error message that the button
might be broken and that service is desired).
Remote control (fig. 1.0)
The remote control is already connected to the
I.T.C. so that the fire is ready for use. If this is not
the case, follow the instructions in accordance with
section 4.1. With the remote control all the basic
functions can be activated. For the operation of
the thermostat function and to change settings, it
is necessary to use the Faber App on Smartphone
or Tablet. The remote control also functions as a
room thermostat and must therefore be placed in
a suitable place in the supplied cradle.

Notifications
The App will notify you when something special
occurs such as:
Maintenance required;
Failures with error codes
(with proposed action);
Shutdown by the automatic shutdown
function;
Low batteries remote control.
Thermostat function
By default, the thermostat function is OFF and the
clock thermostat is OFF.
At settings under "Thermostat" you can customise
this. Via App: Menu > Settings > Thermostat.
It is advisable to switch off both functions if the
device is placed in a public space and/or is mainly
used for decorative purposes. By switching on
these functions the device may switch on and off
at random intervals.
In the thermostat the I.T.C. automatically switches
on the extra burner if it is necessary to reach the

Please note!
The device is automatically switched off in the
thermostat function if:
The fire has not been switched on by the
thermostat during 8 days.
After 8 hours at maximum power the fire
has still not reached the desired
temperature.
The room temperature measured by the
remote control rises higher than the user-
defined maximum value (default 31
degrees).
The remote control is out of range of the
fire.
Mood settings
The Mood setting can be set:
With the different step positions of the burners
where the power is also varied.
Turning the dot on the circle clockwise gives more
average power, see fig. 2.4. Only the duration and
repetition vary with the setting and the auxiliary
burner can be switched on or off. See fig. 2.5 and
2.6.
With the remote control you cannot select a flame
pattern; however, you can adjust the power as
mentioned in the table below at the Mood
settings. For this purpose you can use the keys 3
(Fire lower), 4 (Fire higher) and 5 (Switching step
modes).
Select Mood setting
Tap the symbol "flame pattern" in the middle of
the circle (see fig. 2.7), which gets you into the
pattern selection menu, see fig. 2.8. The present
flame pattern is clear in the picture. Now select the
desired flame pattern.
You can make your choice final by tapping the
arrow in the top bar. You are returned to the
control screen.
Mood Constant
This is the default manual setting. The flame
pattern is constant and depending on the mode
selected by you. The glow effect is lightly
modulating between 80 and 100% of your
customised basic settings of the Symbio LED
module or HPL module.
This glow effect setting can be controlled with the
remote control or with the App. (See chapter 6.3).
Mood Campfire
A 13-minute animation of a real campfire with
flames continuously varying in height and a
modulating glow effect variation.
The fire starts with a slightly yellowish weak glow
effect. Slowly the fire will get hotter and the flames
higher and the glow effect stronger and warmer
(more red) in colour. At the end of this stage the
flames will become smaller, just like in a real wood
fire, but the glow effect stronger and deeper red in
colour. When the flames have been minimal for
some time, also the glow effect will slowly
decrease. Now 13 minutes will have elapsed and
the process starts again.
Mood Relaxed
A quiet sparkling fire. Movement and frequency
are visible but gradually. Pattern is dynamic and
unpredictable and also the glow effect moves
along in this pattern of unpredictability.
By turning the dot on the circle clockwise more
average power is supplied and both the duration
and the height of the flames are adjusted
proportionally. You can also enable or disable the
extra burner by tapping in the top circle.
Mood Party
In Party mode, a striking flame is looked for that is
briefly visible in order to create limited heat
release, assuming that the room will be quite
warmed up by the many attendees already. In
Party mode, a lot of movement in both flame
height and time is looked for. This is also
demonstrated in the glow effect.
Mood ECO
In the ECO modes the intention is to save as much
energy as possible, at which with a minimum
amount of energy still a maximum flame
experience is looked for.
Movement and frequency are subtle and not
remarkable.
Personal settings and device information
Personal settings can only be customised with the
App.
Customise device name
If you are connected with your fire, touch the
upper-left corner of the menu.
Select the top setting, "My Faber”.
You will now open a screen that displays all
information about your fire. Tap "My Faber” and
customise the latter.

setting screen.
This setting can also be customised when the fire is
enabled!
Setting of thermostat
For a proper functioning of the thermostat, it is
necessary that the remote control is installed in
the cradle in the prescribed location.
(See chapter 8).
Namely, room temperature is measured by the
remote control.
Manual setting of thermostat
The manual thermostat function is ON by default.
If the function is not used on a regular basis and if
the remote control is used for operation of the fire
instead of the App, we recommend to switch this
feature OFF. Unnecessary or unexpected enabling
will be avoided.
Setting of clock thermostat
The latter is switched OFF by default and can be
switched ON only if the manual mode is switched
ON.
Setting of clock program
The clock thermostat has a day and week feature.
When enabled, the fire follows the entered
program fully automatically until the fire is
switched off. With this setting you can customise
the program to your own needs.
The program has the following steps:
Getting up;
Leaving;
Coming home;
Sleep.
At each step the time and temperature can be set.
Please note!
The times do have to be connected to the
previous step.
Setting energy saving
Max room temperature
Here you can set the maximum room temperature
(default 31 degrees). If the temperature exceeds
the pre-set value, the fire will switch off.
This feature is provided to disable the fire if you
forgot to switch off the fire in manual mode when
leaving the room. Please note that if the remote
control is heated up by the sun or is located near
the fire, the temperature may quickly rise above 30
degrees.
Switch-off time in hours
If the fire is enabled in the manual mode or on one
of the Mood settings and during the pre-set time
no command is received from the remote control
or App, the I.T.C. will switch off the fire.
As a user, you can set this time between 1 and 24
hours.
Open-window detection
This feature is OFF by default.
By ENABLING this feature the open-window
detection is activated. If the I.T.C. detects an
unexpected rapid temperature drop within a pre-
set time this will be regarded as an open window
or door and the device will be disabled.
Display (setting display temperature
and consumption)
Sets how the temperature and consumption are
displayed.
At "Consumption" you can choose from:
Volume of gas in m³;
Energy consumption in kWh.
At "Temperature" you can choose from:
