•Prepare the cavity for the insert according to the below scheme. When preparing the cavity take into account
that the surface on which the insert is going to be placed needs to be well-levelled as the adjustable supports
have a limited range of levelling of the insert. The delivered device is already levelled.
•The edges of the cavity in which the insert is to be placed need to be finished in an aesthetic way as they will be
visible during normal use of the device.
•In case of the cavity being deeper than the height of the device on supports Planika permits a solution where the
device is set on a stable and levelled plinth placed on the bottom of the cavity. The top surface of the plinth should
be H + 10 mm away from the top of the surface of the housing. The ventilation slot or grid must be placed at the
bottom of the housing.

•The optional housing for the gas cylinder cannot be airtight and has to be correctly ventilated. The housing
needs to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle (of an area min 1/100 of the area of the
base of the housing) and a lower ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50 of the area of the base of the housing).
The dimensions of the housing may vary to accommodate different types and dimensions of the gas cylinders
however they also have to be sufficient for hassle-free installation of the gas cylinder.
4.2.2 Control panel montage in a separate storage
The control panel along with the gas valve connected with the insert through elastic linkage may be installed away
from the housing for the GaLiO Insert. It can be placed maximally within a 1 metre radius from the centre of the device.
•Before placing the insert into the housing the control panel needs to be placed in an easy-to-reach spot
allowing convenient control of the device and, if necessary, quick shutdown and cut-off of gas supply. The
control panel may be installed in a horizontal or vertical position with the use of angles attached to it.

Copyright Planika Sp. z o.o. www.planikafires.com IG0098#01 19.0 . 018 14
•The control panel may be installed in the same housing where the gas cylinder is installed, however one has
to remember that the housing cannot be airtight and the gas cylinder needs to be placed minimally 1,5 metres
away from the source of fire. The housing needs to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle
(of an area min 1/100 of the area of the base of the housing) and a lower ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50
of the area of the base of the housing). The dimensions of the housing may vary to accommodate different
types and dimensions of the gas cylinders however they also have to be sufficient for hassle-free installation
of the gas cylinder. Control panel montage above the gas cylinder is not recommended as it would impede its
hassle-free installation and replacement.
WARNING!!!

5. INSTALLATION OF THE GAS LINKAGE
Warning!!! The montage and service needs to be conducted by a qualified professional, a company or the gas
supplier.
Before proceeding with the connection of the gas cylinder to the fireplace all activity regarding the correct placement
and installation of the GaLiO Insert needs to be already performed. Place the gas linkage away from hot or sharp edges
and make sure it is not twisted.
5.1 Natural gas connection
First and foremost, make sure that the connecting device is designed to supply a gas suitable for the type placed in
the gas installation. All necessary information regarding the desired parameters of the gas are found on the rating
plate of the device. Before connecting the gas supply, it is necessary to blow them to remove any remaining metal
filings and other contaminants from inside. Automatic gas control system should be protected from moisture and dust.
These factors may cause irreparable damage to the individual components. The pipe supplying gas to the fireplace
should be equipped with a ball valve with a recommended diameter of 1/ inch. The individual elements of the gas
installation cannot be sealed using Teflon tape or PTFE tape.
The gas valve on the gas pipe must be installed in accordance with applicable national regulations. Before connecting
the gas, make sure that the gas pipes and connections have no dirt. Gas connection is finished with external thread
3/8 ". Regarding gas connection, the following requirements shall apply:
• You must use the gas pipe with the correct dimensions, so there is no pressure loss.
• Ball gas valve should be installed in an easily accessible place and have the necessary CE mark.
5.2 Connection and replacement of the gas cylinder (LPG version)
The GaLiO Insert is delivered together with an elastic gas linkage which, on one end is connected to the valve of the
device and on the other end to the 37mbar regulator (in the twist-on version) ready to be connected to the gas
cylinder. One needs to control the expiry date of both of the regulator as well as the gas linkage and if necessary (for
instance: broken, cut, scratched linkage) replace the components for new ones according to national standards and
norms.
The GaLiO Insert fireplace can use metal or steel bottles or composite bottles filled with propane-butane gas or
propane gas. This device features a twist-on regulator with current pressure of 37mbar. It can be replaced into a
regulator with a quick-release with pressure regulator of 37 mbar.
WARNING!!! NEVER use an unstable gas connection or a regulator for other gas pressure.
Gas cylinders have two types of connectors:
•Twist-on connection: The most important thing is the black seal. Always check if the seal is present and that it
hasn't been damaged during the gas cylinder replacement. Some connections have a knob to fasten them in
place while others require the use of a wrench. Tighten securely (left thread). Using the tool pay attention not
to fasten the connection too tightly as this may damage the seal.
•Quick-release: For this type of connection no tool is required. On/off regulation of gas connection is made
through a switch on the regulator or on a special connector. In case of using a connector with a thread
regulator of an old type put a special emphasis on checking if the connecting nut has been tightly fastened
with the help of wrench.
