1.4 Gi fireplace compatibility
Besides the remote control, you can also operate the fireplace with an external
device (e.g. tablet, phone). This connection can be established by connecting
the Gi fireplace directly to the router with a UTP cable or through a wireless Wi-
Fi connection. In case the fireplace is connected wirelessly to the home router,
in some cases the WiFi connection may not work properly. This may be caused
by insufficient coverage (signal) of the WiFi network or because connected
devices (u.w. phone, tablet, router) are not compatible. Connection via a UTP
cable is therefore always preferred.

10
The Gi haard and your external device must be connected to the same router
(via the same network). The Wi-Fi signal can be checked beforehand and
improved if necessary. Due to the great diversity of devices
(smartphones/tablets), the compatibility of the devices can unfortunately not
be checked in advance. Compatibility will only become clear after installation of
the interface. Kalfire accepts no liability for the failure of the Gi fireplace to
function properly or at all due to causes described here.

2 Safety
2.1 Safety instructions for decorative elements (filling)
FIRE DANGER!
The fireplace filling must be placed as prescribed. It is not permitted to change
the quantity or configuration of the filling. A change may cause a fire hazard.
WARNING!
The ignition/ionization pin must remain uncovered, pay attention to this when
placing the filling. Careless decoration of the gas fire can cause incorrect
ignition and/or a dangerous situation.
WARNING!
If the fireplace is supplied with Natural Spark Generator, do not remove the
plastic filler cap during installation. The plastic filler cap is required to ensure
proper operation. The filler cap is then covered with a piece of ceramic log
when installing the fireplace filler.
CAUTION!
Small hair cracks may appear in the ceramic logs during use of the fireplace,
these do not adversely affect the operation or flame pattern of the fireplace.
Hairline cracks are not covered by the guarantee.
CAUTION!
During use, the metal interior of the fireplace will expand. This may cause
damage or unevenness in the lacquer layer of the metal. These can be repaired
with the spray can supplied.
2.2 Safety related to use
There are risks attached to using a gas fire. The temperature of all visible parts
of the gas fire can rise steeply and there is a risk of fire or combustion. Be sure
that the following safety precautions have been taken:

12
WARNING!
The gas fire must not be started if the front and/or side window is damaged or
broken.
WARNING!
After installation of the gas fire, the visible parts of the appliance (including the
glass surface) are considered as part of the active zone.
Especially the glass can get extremely hot!
Children and dependents are to stay clear of the burning gas fire.
DANGER!
Make sure that flammable materials such as curtains and furniture are at least
100 cm from the fireplace. If a fireguard is used, this distance must be at least
40 cm.
Figu re 1 : Sa fe z on e

13
WARNING!
Should the floor in front of the fireplace consist of combustible material and
the distance from the underside of the combustion chamber to the floor be
smaller than 10 cm, a heat-resistant fireguard floor plate larger than 30 cm or a
stone should be placed.
Danger of burning
WARNING!
Do not touch the appliance! The gas fire is hot when switched on or just
switched off. Ensure extra safety precautions and safety measures if less able-
bodied persons, elderly people and/or children have access to the fireplace.
Only the remote control can be used without fear of danger due to
combustion.
Danger caused by fumes or gas leaks
IMPORTANT!
Fumes and/or gas leaks can cause life threatening situations. Fumes can be the
cause of carbon monoxide poisoning and gas leaks are an explosion risk.
If you notice fumes or gas, take the following precautions:
1. Switch off the gas fire.
2. Close the main gas valve.
3. Open windows and doors.
4. Advise an approved installer of the issue.
IMPORTANT!
Should damage occur, close the gas valve. Do not use the gas fire if a glass
panel is cracked, is not in place or incorrectly mounted.
IMPORTANT!
The gas fire needs a permanent power supply. Interrupting the power supply
can impact safety precautions.

14
The risk of discoloration
CAREFUL!
After the convection system of the fireplace has
been heated, air particles, cigarette smoke, candles and oil lamps can cause
discoloration of walls and ceilings. Ensure sufficient ventilation in the room in
which the fireplace is installed.
CAREFUL!
Applying tape to the fireplace is at your own risk, paint damage caused by
taping is outside the manufacturer's warranty.
2.3 Three safety measures for the gas fire
The flame is detected due to electronic ionization measurement . If the gas
fire does not detect a flame during the start-up phase, the gas supply is
interrupted for one minute. A new ignition attempt follows automatically. To
interrupt automatic ignition attempts immediately; Press the on/off button
(max 2 sec.) to switch the fire off immediately.
A 24-hour security system
If no flame is detected after three automatic ignition attempts (for gas types
G20, G25), a blocking occurs. For gas types G30 and G31, this blocking occurs
after one ignition attempt. This lockout can be manually unlocked twice with
the remote control. If no flame is detected after these two manual releases, a
24-hour lock-out will follow. You can then not use the gas fire for 24 hours.
Pressure relief device
The gas fire is equipped with an overpressure safety device to minimise risks.
Should an explosive ignition occur, the top window will open forward to reduce
pressure.

3 Kalfire Gi functions
The Kalfire Gi distinguishes between programmable and manual functions.
3.1 Manual functions
Manual functions are functions with fixed parameters that you cannot adjust
yourself.
Increase flame height / Decrease flame height
The height of the flames can be selected using the Flame Height Up and Flame
Height Down function. All three burners (left, center and right) are controlled
simultaneously, creating a calm flame pattern at the desired height.
Comfort function
In comfort mode, you choose a certain average flame height and associated
savings in gas consumption. The lower the average flame height the greater the
savings. As the three different burners (left, right and center) are controlled
separately, the flame pattern remains full and dynamic even in the lower
settings with little gas consumption.
Ember Glow
The EmberGlow function that comes standard with every Gi fireplace simulates
the red glow bed inside the fireplace, under the logs. Depending on the
selected setting, the glow bed is more or less intense. The glow bed can be
switched on even when the fireplace is not burning. Thus, even when the
flames are extinguished, it provides an atmospheric glow on the fireplace floor.
Natural Spark Generator (option)
An optional NSG module can be chosen. This Natural Spark Generator ensures
a continuous flow of natural-looking sparks that dance completely randomly
above the flames. Depending on the selected setting, these are more or fewer
sparks.
3.2 Programmable functions
Programmable functions can be programmed via the ConnectedApp entirely to
your own preferences. If this does not happen, the factory settings apply.

16
ATTENTION!
For programmable functions (which are mostly temperature-controlled), it is
important to place the remote control in a place where you want the desired
temperature to be reached. The temperature sensor is inside the remote
control.
Thermostat function
The thermostat function of the Kalfire Gi can be used to quickly heat the room
in which the fireplace is set up. After all, it is not always necessary to heat the
entire house or turn on the underfloor heating. Via the app, the desired end
temperature can be specified in thermostat mode. The fireplace does the rest. If
the desired temperature is reached, the fireplace turns off. When the
temperature has dropped 1.5 degrees below the desired end temperature, the
fireplace comes back on.
Factory setting thermostat function: end temperature: 21°C
CAUTION!
After going through the start-up cycle, the fireplace takes over the last settings
used. If this is the thermostat function and the temperature in the room is
higher or equal to the selected end temperature, the fireplace will switch off
after completing the start-up cycle.
Comfort+ Function
Determine the maximum temperature rise and the time it should take the stove
to reach this temperature. Also thanks to the three separately controlled gas
valves, the flame image remains lively and beautiful. Adjustable via the
ConnectedApp.
Factory setting Comfort+: end temperature: 21°C, time: 240 minutes
Moods
With the Moods function, different functions can be recorded together. For
example, if the Comfort+ function in combination with setting 3 of the NSG
and setting 4 of the EmberGlow function is your favourite setting, you can
record this in your personal Mood. Programming your own Moods is only
possible via the Kalfire ConnectedApp. Via this app, up to 10 different Moods
can be programmed. Then, one push of the button is enough to activate the
desired mood. With the remote control, 3 Moods can be controlled. If no

17
personal moods are programmed via the ConnectedApp, the factory settings
apply.

4 Operating Kalfire Gi
4.1 Operation options
Operation of the fireplace can be done using either the Kalfire remote control
or the Kalfire Connected app. The Kalfire Connected app offers more and more
extensive operating options. This app can be downloaded for free in the Apple
and Android app store respectively. The remote control comes standard with
the fireplace.
4.2 KalSense ring
The patented KalSense ring located directly behind the glass at the
front of the fireplace provides instant feedback on operating actions.
The ring indicates the status of the fireplace by means of colour, tessellation
and/or flashing. For example, if the EmberGlow function is activated with the
remote control or via the app, the ring briefly lights up orange and then goes
out again.
The 9 boxes (LED lights) into which the ring is divided indicate the level of a
particular function. The example below shows the fireplace's "flame height up"
function, which consists of 5 levels. The higher the level, the more LEDs in the
KalSense ring light up brightly. In the KalfireConnected app, the KalSense ring is
also displayed on the screen. This corresponds to the KalSense ring in the
fireplace.

19
4.3 Remote control
The remote control buttons are linked to a specific function of the fireplace.
The remote control changes the current setting of the fireplace, but does not
provide feedback itself. When operated with the remote control, the KalSense
ring in the fireplace (centre front) provides feedback.
CAUTION!
The remote control contains a temperature sensor and should be in the room
where the fireplace is set up at all times, at least within 10 meters of the
fireplace.
We recommend that you place the remote control near where you find
yourself. This is because the temperature sensor in the remote control is
necessary for the operation of the programmable functions.
4.3.1 Placing the battery
Insert the supplied battery into the remote control.
 Grasp the remote control on-the-head and turn it over.
 Place your thumb as shown below.
 Press the back lightly with your thumb and slide the cover upwards at the
same time.
 Insert the battery (1 x AAA)
 Replace the cover in reverse order.

20
Bluetooth remote control pairing
The remote control should be paired with the fireplace at all times. The remote
control is paired with the fireplace at the factory. If the batteries are inserted in
the remote control, automatic pairing will take place.
You simply check whether the fireplace is paired by operating button 8 (hybrid
LED function) on the remote control (see image below). If the glow bed in the
fireplace lights up (even when the fireplace is not lit), the remote control is
paired. With each press of the button, the glow bed's light intensity increases.
If the remote control is not paired, follow the instruction below.
Pairing:
To pair the remote control with the fireplace, both the communication board
and the remote control must be activated. The communication board is located
at the front of the fireplace and is accessible through the 7mm air gap (after
installation).
 Briefly ( 2-5 sec) press the reset button on the communication board.
Use a plastic/wood ( not iron! ) stick with a blunt tip. Release the button
when the KalSense lights up blue.
The green LED light on the board flashes.
