1.4 Gi fireplace compatibility
You can control 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 WiFi 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 (w.o.
phone, tablet, router) are not compatible.
The Gi fireplace 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.
Unfortunately, due to the wide variety of
devices, compatibility cannot 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
The following sections provide safety
information about the gas
fire:
- Safety related to installation
- Gas and electrical units already installed
- Installation regulations
- Safety regulations for decorative elements
- Safety related to use
- Three safety measures for the gas fire
2.1 Safety related to installation
Installation of the gas fire requires diligent
pursuit of procedures. During installation,
please adhere to the regulations that apply to
safety and health in your country (the Working
Conditions Act, for example).
General installation instructions:
•The procedures described may only be carried
out by authorised technical professionals.
•Follow the installation procedures diligently to
avoid damage and accidents.
•Use adequate protection resources during
installation.
•Ensure that local circumstances such as gas
pressure and the type of gas are consistent with
the information on the data identification plate
of the gas fire.
•Only install a gas fire in an area that has
sufficient ventilation in compliance with the
standards in force.
•Always conduct a chimney calculation, as
indicated in the Chimney Calculation.
•Always make use of a concentric flue duct
system that complies with the approval
conditions of your gas fire. Adhere to the
installation regulations as stated.
2.2 Gas and electrical units already
installed
Concentric flue duct system confirmation
The gas piping and gas control valve to the
fireplace need to be installed by an authorized
fitter and are not supplied with the appliance.
The diameter of the gas piping must be
determined for each appliance in compliance
with the directives in force:
•
NEN 1078 and NPR 3378 apply to The
Netherlands.
•
NBN D51-003 (chimney connection and
gas connection) applies to Belgium.
•
Arbeitsblatt G600 DVGW-TRGI applies to
Germany.
Checking the gas specifications
Check that the gas specifications match the
connection.
The data identification plate indicates the
suitable gas type and gas pressure of the gas
fire. This id plate is located on the left side of
the cooling slot on a metal plate. This can be
tilted upwards (see paragraph 5.5 ). To do this,
remove the front glass from the fireplace. A
second copy of the id plate is stuck on the
inside of the front cover of the user manual.
Ask Kalfire about the possibilities if you want to
use the gas fire in combination with another
type of gas.
Electrical installation confirmation
The electrical installation to the gas fire must be
installed by an approved fitter and is not
supplied with the appliance. Power
supply and required electrical power:
230V/60W VAC.
WARNING!
The gas fire needs a permanent power supply.
Errors recorded earlier are lost during any
interruption to power supply. Regular
interruption of the power supply impacts the
safety mechanisms, whereby hazardous
situations can arise.
WARNING!
If there is a two-phase network, an isolating
transformer must be installed. This transforms
the 2 phase network into a standard 1 phase
network of 230V.
2.3 Installation instructions
The following conditions must be adhered to
during installation:
• Ensure sufficient ventilation where the
fireplace is to be installed.
WARNING!
Ensure sufficient ventilation in the area in which
the gas fire is to be installed. The installation
area is sufficiently ventilated if: The nominal
power of the appliance in kilowatt / content of
the installation area in cubic meters is less than
35.

9
•
Reference is made to both national and
local provisions in force to determine a safe
distance from the wall against which the
appliance is mounted and the adjacent
walls, roof ducts and windows.
•
Only non-flammable materials should be
used during installation of the gas fire.
WARNING!
The floor on which the appliance is mounted
must consist of heat-resistant material. Should
that not be the case, then no flammable
material may be placed under the appliance.
This also goes for the walls behind and adjacent
to the fireplace and the ceiling.
•
Walls to which the gas fireplace is attached
must not become warmer than 85°. This
applies both to static walls made of non-
combustible building materials and to walls
made of or with combustible building
materials, as well as to warm insulated walls
made of or with combustible building
materials. This requirement is ensured:
− if the walls in question are protected
with a 3 cm thick calcium silicate board
with a thermal conductivity coefficient
of 0.1W/mK or other suitable insulation
with comparable thermal resistance,
− if the gas fireplace is placed at a
distance of at least 2 cm (air gap) from
the dam layer.
− and the specified convection air
openings have been created in
accordance with the installation
instructions, (paragraph 5.9)
After this, install the gas fire leaving a small air
gap between the gas fire and the fireproof
board material. The materials used for the gas
fire surround must be heat-resistant and
fireproof.
•
Under no circumstances must the gas
fireplace be insulated. Materials, plaster
and wallpaper used to finish the wall
(especially above the gas fire) must be
heat-resistant.
•
No flammable materials may be used close
to the concentric flue duct system. High
external wall temperatures up to
approximately 150°C form a burn hazard.
Keep a minimum distance of 55 mm from
flammable materials.
Figure 1:
a. Combustible wall or highly insulated wall with
a U-value ≤ 0.4W/m2K
b. 3 cm thick calcium silicate board with a
thermal conductivity of ≤ 0.1W/mK
c. Distance gas fire insulation material min. 2cm
(air gap)
CAREFUL!
The gas fire and the surround have different
expansion rates. The gas fire must be mounted
at least
4 mm from the surround to prevent
damage. Too little room causes undesirable
material tension.
CAREFUL!
At the front, an air gap of at least 7 mm must
remain free between the glass and the plateau
to allow for cooling of the E-box. This air gap
must not be covered after commissioning the
fireplace.
2.4 Safety instructions for decorative
filling
DANGER!
The decorative elements must be placed
according to the instructions. It is prohibited to
alter the number of decorative elements or the
configuration thereof. Such alterations can lead
to hazardous situations in terms of fire safety.
WARNING!
The ignition or ionisation rods must be left
uncovered. Ensure this is the case when placing
the decorative elements. Careless decoration of

10
the gas fire can cause incorrect ignition or a
hazardous situation.
WARNING!
If the fireplace is supplied with Natural Spark
Generator, the plastic filler cap should not be
removed 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 decorating the fireplace.
CAREFUL!
During operation of the appliance, small
hairline cracks may develop in the ceramic logs.
These have no negative impact on the
operation or flame profile of the appliance.
Hairline cracks do not fall under the warranty.
CAREFUL!
When heated, the gas fires’s internal metal
lining can expand. This can cause the layer of
paint on the metal to deform, resulting in
damage or imperfections. The spray paint
supplied with the gas fire allows any paint
damage to be fixed.
2.5 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:
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 dependants 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.
Figure 2: Safe zone
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.

11
IMPORTANT!
The gas fire needs a permanent power supply.
Interrupting the power supply can impact
safety precautions.
The risk of discolouration
CAREFUL!
After the convection system of the fireplace has
been heated, air particles, cigarette smoke,
candles and oil lamps can cause discolouration
of walls and ceilings. Ensure sufficient
ventilation in the room in which the fireplace is
installed.
2.6 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 Description
Kalfire gas fires are internationally renowned for
their realistic flame effects. Kalfire fireplaces are
easy to operate and maintain.
Closed gas fires
At the heart of the Kalfire Gi-technology is the
KalTelligence developed by Kalfire. A control
system unique to the fireplace industry that
enables new, revolutionary functions and
unprecedentedly fine control of the fireplace.
The Kalfire Gi comes with an
EmberGlow
function. Here, the base of the fireplace is
equipped with LED lighting in the form of a
natural glow bed. The lighting generates an
atmospheric imitation of the glow bed of a real
wood fire. The EmberGlow function can also be
switched on separately without switching on
the gasfire.
The Kalfire Gi can optionally come with the
Natural Spark Generator. This causes sparks
to rise naturally from the burning flames in the
fireplace and burn slowly.
Heat emission
The heat generated by Kalfire gas fireplaces is
directly emitted to the space in which the
fireplace is located through radiation and
convection. Radiant heat is emitted through the
glass, while convective heat flows into the
installation space through a convection mantle
or the mantelpiece at the top.
Smooth transition between fireplace and
surround.
During installation, the closed gas fires blend in
neatly with the interior. The plateau in front of
the fireplace, which is often made of natural
stone, can be used with the help of the
plateau support it can extend into the frameless
window of the fireplace. The side walls can be
finished smoothly into the surround of the
fireplace. The rear wall can be extended beyond
the fireplace so that no metal frame is visible
anywhere.
Operation
The closed gas fire can be operated as standard
via remote control or KalfireConnected app.
This allows you to switch the fire on or off and
operate the various functions described later in
this manual.

13
4 Preparation
The upcoming sections provide preparatory
information prior to installation of the gas fire:
− Preliminary work with the help of a scale
drawing
− Chimney calculation
− Check the gas fire
− Check UTP connection and/or WiFi signal
4.1 Preliminary work with the help of
a scale drawing
You can use to your advantage a scale drawing
prior to and during the placing of the
concentric flue duct system and the gas fire.
Scale drawings are available on the
http://www.kalfire.com/en/ fireplaces website.
Select the correct gas fire type here. Once you
have made your choice, a page will open on
which you will find “technical information
” .
The subject
“ documents ” with the scale
drawing of the gas fire can be found there too.
4.2 Chimney calculation
Calculate the concentric flue duct system with
the values of the chimney calculation or make a
choice from the configurations in the
appendices. See: flue duct configurations 1
through 6, paragraph 8.1.
A chimney calculation is made for the roof
pass-through and the wall pass-through. The
chimney calculation is suitable for gas types
G20, G25, G30 and G31. Kalfire cannot
guarantee proper operation of the fireplace if
your configuration does not comply to the
chimney calculation.
CAREFUL!
Many elbows and/or horizontally-mounted
components of the flue duct can create
substantial resistance. The flame pattern can
vary considerably because the combustion air
cannot easily reach the gas fire.

WARNING!
the sum of all calculation values must be higher
than 0.5. At a value lower than 0.5, the gas fire
will not function according to standard EN613.
Deviating configurations can be presented to
Kalfire for written approval.
4.3 Check the gas fire
Confirm mechanical operation
Check if all moving parts of the gas fire are
functioning correctly,
principally the door, before installing the
fireplace.
4.4 Check UTP connection and/or WiFi
signal
For correct and stable operation of the fireplace,
it is recommended to connect the fireplace to the
home router with a fixed LAN connection. Check
whether it is possible to make this connection. If
necessary, the house router and fireplace can be
connected via Wi-Fi. Check the Wi-Fi signal at the
fireplace. See also paragraph 5.3.

5 Installation
The upcoming sections provide information
about the installation of the gas fire:
- Installing the flue duct and roof pass-through
- Placing the gas fire
- Connecting the gas fire
- Cleaning and testing the gas fire
− Gas measurement
− Sustainability measurement
− Placing the restriction plates
− Placing and finishing the surround
− Placing decorative elements
5.1 Installing the flue duct and roof
pass-through
Place the flue duct and roof pass-through
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Take the material regulations into account. See:
Installation Instructions, paragraph 2.3.
1.1.1 Configure the concentric flue duct system
WARNING!
This gas fire has been tested and approved
according to CE standard EN-613. The inspection
was carried out in combination with concentric
flue pipe systems (Ø 130-200 mm), rigid and/or
flexible, either Kalfire or Stocker (T600 N1 W V2
L50040 O50). Only these flue pipe systems may
be applied to the gas fire in order to continue
to comply with the inspection provisions. If
component parts or flue pipe systems made by
other manufacturers are applied, the warranty
and certification of the gas fire will lapse.
WARNING!
The concentric duct should be sealed between
the elements in the form of a rubber ring or tape.
WARNING!
No flexible duct should be connected directly to
the appliance. The first metre from the appliance
must always be carried out with a fixed pipe.
After the first metre, the inner pipe (flue) may be
made with a flexible pipe. The outer pipe (fresh
air supply) must consist entirely of a fixed pipe or
existing chimney. A concentric duct composed
entirely of flexible pipe is not allowed.
REMARK
Depending on the chosen flue pipe configuration
and length, the temperature of the concentric
flue duct will be between the 200°C and 350°C.
Two methods for configuring the chimney can be
applied;
• You can configure a chimney according to
the chimney calculation. See: Chimney
calculation, paragraph 4.2 .
• You choose configuration 1-6 belonging to
the product. See: flue duct configuration 1
through 6, paragraph 8.1.
5.1.2 Dakdoorvoer bestaand rookkanaal
aansluiten C91 (optie)
Connect roof pass-through of existing flue
duct C91 (option)
The flue gases are discharged through a flexible
or fixed inner pipe. The air supply runs through
the flue on the outside of the flexible or fixed
pipe.
If an existing flue duct is used, the fitter needs to
undertake a visual inspection beforehand. The
flue duct should have a minimum temperature
class of T400. The minimum dimensions of the
existing flue duct must equal the diameter of the
concentric material: 130/200 mm. In addition,
account needs to be taken of the chimney
calculation. See Chimney calculation, paragraph
4.2.
Figure 4: Roof pass-through

16
The following action must be taken in order to
connect an existing flue duct:
1.
At the top of the flue duct, use a “renovation
set top with rain cap”.
2.
Connect a flue liner or flexible flue liner to
this, fitted through the existing duct. Ensure
this is well sealed.
3.
Lead the flue liner or flexible flue liner
through the existing flue duct.
4.
Mount the “renovation set bottom concentric
- connection to flex” at the entrance to the
flue duct.
5.
Connect a flue liner or flexible flue liner to
this, fitted through the existing duct. Ensure
this is well sealed too.
6.
Check the flue ducts for any leaks.
CAREFUL!
Leaks can cause low pressure and prevent the
closed system from functioning properly.
7.
Seal any detected leakage.
5.2 Placing the gas fire
Place the rear wall taking the material into
account. See: Installation Instructions paragraph
2.3. Then place the gas fire at the desired
location. Mount the legs and finish the rear wall
as indicated in the following paragraphs.
5.2.1 Fitting and mounting the gas fire
The gas fire is placed on four adjustable support
legs. The support legs on the glass side of the
gas fire need to be precisely sawn off before they
can be mounted.
When the bolts are mounted against the rear
wall, a space of a minimum of two cm is created
between the rear side of the appliance and the
rear wall.
WARNING!
It is no longer possible to adjust the glass once
the surround has been finished. Should the
mounting of a modified glass as a result of the
incorrect placement of the original glass be
required, this will fall outside of the factory
warranty.
Figure 5: Setting support legs
Carry out the following steps to set and assemble
the gas fire:
1.
Unscrew two bolts (A) from each support leg.
2.
To ensure that the support legs are on the
desired height, you might have to saw the
top off the support legs.
3.
If necessary, place the support legs in the
designated holder.
4.
Set the approximate height.
5.
Screw the two bolts (A) back on.
6.
Set the exact height of the gas fire by
adjusting the tightness of the bolts on each
leg (B). The range of adjustment is 3 cm.
7.
Set the gas fire to spirit level by tightening or
loosening the bolts on each support leg.
8.
Place the front glass in the appliance.
9.
Adjust the wall clamp, leaving a minimum of
2 cm between the gas fire and the wall.
10.
Secure the gas fire to the wall using the
previously mounted clamps (optional).
Figure 6: Mounting gas fire to wall (optional)

11.
Check whether all four front glass corners
align with the side glass. The twisting and
turning that was necessary while setting and
adjusting the gas fire, may have caused the
front and the side glass to become
misaligned.
Figure 7: Check alignment front glass
12.
Set the gas fire accurately by adjusting the
legs, so the glass properly aligns.
5.2.2 Adjusting the stone support
The gas fire is equipped with stone support, so
tiles or other plateau-finishing materials can be
supported to the side of the fireplace.
The stone support can be adjusted without using
steps over a 30 mm distance. The stone support
is equipped with an indicator for a stone
thickness of 20 mm to 30 mm, as depicted. The
stone support can also be removed as one.
Figure 8: Stone thickness indicator
Carry out the following steps to adjust the stone
support;
1.
Unscrew the nuts at the bottom end of the
assembly strip.
2.
Set the desired height.
3.
Tighten the screws and place the stones.
4.
Leave a minimum of 4 mm between the
stone and the glass. See Installation
Instructions, paragraph 2.3.
5.
At the front, leave a minimum of 1 mm of
space between the glass support and the
finishing. Prevent excessive tension on the
glass caused by the glass support as a result
of heat expansion.
5.2.3 Continuous rear wall finishing (option)
When opted for a continuous real wall finishing,
the following steps should be carried out:
1.
Determine the side to which the rear wall is
to be continued.
2.
Remove the four nuts as depicted in the
figure.
Figure 9: Removing the strip
3.
Unscrew the upper and lower nuts.
4.
Remove the steel vertical strip.
5.
Place the panel (ceramic glass or design) that
you wish to continue outside of the fireplace
in the correct position.
6.
Always leave 4 mm space between the panel
and the glass frame, in order to keep it
accessible for service requirements.

5.3 Connecting the gas fire
5.3.1 connecting the gas pipe
All necessary connections are located on the
right side of the E-box located under the
fireplace.
• Fit the gas pipe and connect the fireplace
with a 3/8" female thread.
For the UK: use a straight connector brass
3/8”. You may order this from Kalfire (item
no. 520213: straight connector brass 3/8"
male iron x12mm)

• Vent the gas pipe, via the pre-pressure
measuring nipple (located at the front of the
fireplace).
5.3.2 Connect the gas fireplace to the home
router
For proper operation, the fireplace needs an
internet connection. This can be via a fixed LAN
connection or via Wi-Fi.
If you choose a fixed connection, you need to
connect the UTP connection to the house router
with a cable.
TIP!
If there is no possibility to run a cable from the
home router to the fireplace, you can use a
powerline adapter. A powerline adapter sends
the internet signal (partly) via the router's power
network to the socket near the fireplace. You
then connect the fireplace to the powerline
adapter in the socket. Note that two sockets are
now required to install the fireplace.
Figure 11: E-box connections
If you choose a wireless connection, you should
follow the instructions in the KalfireConnected
app which can be downloaded from the Apple or
Google app store.
TIP!
Check the strength of the wifi signal near the
fireplace. If necessary, place a wifi amplifier near
the fireplace to ensure a strong and stable signal.
For the sake of stability, we recommend using a
fixed connection.
5.3.3 Connecting external contacts
You connect any external contacts to the
connector located on the right side of the E-box.
• Disconnect the plug from the connector.
Figure 12: Connector external contacts
• Then connect the external contacts to the
correct position in the connector.
Figure 13: position external contacts
Consult paragraph 8.2 for an explanation and
potential applications of the contacts.
5.3.4 Connection to the power network
Finally, connect the fireplace to the power
network. To do this, use the power cable
provided.
TIP!
When installing the casing, make sure that the
connections remain accessible.
Turn on the on/off switch. The on/off switch is
located on the front of the fireplace, on the right,
and can be accessed through the 7mm air gap.

5.4 Cleaning and testing the gas fire
Clean the glass and test the gas fire before you
finish the surround.
CAREFUL!
Grease emanating from fingers or other
materials can burn into the glass. These burnt-in
spots are permanent and cannot be cleaned.
CAREFUL!
When the newly-installed fireplace burns for the
first time, the varnish can emit a smell. This smell
will disappear naturally, once the varnish has
completely hardened.
Clean the glass before first ignition.
• For standard ceramic windows. See: Cleaning
the (standard) ceramic windows (paragraph
7.1).
• For anti-reflective glass. See: Cleaning
instructions anti-reflective glass (paragraph
7.1).
Ignite the fireplace.
During the first time, it can take a while for the
fire to ignite and continue to burn. This is caused
by air in the gas pipe.
5.5 Gas measurement
Check the pre-pressure of the gas connection
after installation. Carry out this measurement to
verify whether the appliance is supplied with
enough gas and the burners retain sufficient
pressure
The gas pressure can be measured via the pre-
pressure nipple which is accessible via the
cooling slot near the windscreen. To do this,
remove the front glass from the appliance.
Figure 15: Gas measurement
The data identification plate indicates which type
of gas the appliance is set for. The id plate is
located on the left side of the cooling slot on a
metal plate. It can be tilted upwards (see figure
16). To do this, remove the front glass from the
appliance. A second copy of the type plate is
stuck on the inside of the front cover of the user
manual.
TIP!
Note down the unique serial number of the
fireplace for your own records. Kalfire can thus
help you faster in case of maintenance or service.
Figure 16: Position type plate
5.6 Sustainability measurement
ATTENTION!
sustainability measurement through
sustainability measuring points. is not applicable
in the Netherlands.
The sustainability measurement serves to confirm
that the flue duct has been connected and the
gas is sealed. We recommend to check the flue
duct before finishing the surround.
The oxygen (O2) and carbon monoxide (CO)
values can be measured through the
sustainability measuring points. The O2 value
describes the operation of the flue duct, the CO
value indicates the quality of combustion.
Potential irregularities in the operation of the
appliance can be detected in this way. Use
silicone tubing to connect the measuring
equipment to the measuring points.
The measuring process is as follows:
1.
Open the design frame at the front above
the door (applies to front models only).
2.
Remove the rubber caps from the measuring
nipples that are indicated with O2 and CO.

20
3.
Use the measuring equipment as indicated in
the meter’s user instructions.
4.
Connect the measuring equipment to the CO
measuring nipple to measure the CO value.
5.
Start the measurement and verify the values;
lower than
1000ppm
Functioning properly.
higher than
1000ppm
Check the burner pressure, the
configuration of the decorative
elements and confirm the
concentric flue duct system is
not obstructed

5.7 Placing the restriction plates
If the chimney calculation (paragraph 4.2)
indicates a value greater than 5.5, a restriction
plate should be fitted in the flue gas flue.
If the chimney calculation indicates a smaller
value, the restriction plate does not need to be
fitted.
For the Kalfire Gi, restriction plate 68 applies to
all models and all types of gas. This restriction
plate is supplied as standard with every fireplace.
Figure 18: Restriction plate / assembly in the flue
Carry out the following steps to place the
restriction plate:
1.
Remove the door. See: Door dismantling and
assembly (paragraph 7.1)
2.
Bend both lips 90 degrees at the outer point
of the restriction plate.
3.
Remove the ceiling plates (paragraph 5.9).
4.
Transfer the restriction plate from the gas fire
to the opening of the pipe.
5.
Mount the restriction plate in the eyes of the
inner wall of the pipe opening (see Fig. 18).
6.
Next, bend the lips inwards.
7.
Check if the appliance is not operating at the
lowest flame intensity and that the flames are
not too high in the highest intensity mode
5.8 Removing the ceiling plates
The Kalfire Gi comes standard with ceiling plates
(no. 4, figure 17). These ceiling plates are held in
place by positioning tabs on the front of the
fireplace. To remove the plates ( for example, to
place them on the restrictor plate), the
positioning tabs must be bent backwards. Each
panel can then be removed obliquely from the
fireplace. Refitting is done in the reverse order.
