2. GENE AL INFO MATION
Gas fireplaces VERSAL are devices with an open chamber and a decorative combustion effect with a nominal thermal
load not exceeding 20 kW (Hi), which use the highest class advanced automation to control the gas valve. The appliance
complies with European directives regarding safety, the environment and energy consumption. The air needed for the
combustion of gas is supplied to the furnace from the outside and the gases generated during the combustion process
are discharged outside the building by an insulated flue pipe. The safety of the entire system is controlled by a series
of systems and a draft interrupter with a thermal sensor, which will switch off the device in the event of detecting a
blocked chimney. Additionally, in order to ensure proper chimney draft, the device can be installed together with an
exhaust fan equipped with a vacuum sensor, which after detection of appropriate strings will allow the fan controller
to start the fireplace and in conditions of insufficient chimney draft will increase the fan speed or turn off the whole
device. This provides the user with 100% safety, making the fireplace completely independent of the weather
conditions and type of ventilation installed in the building.
Gas fireplaces VERSAL are decorative appliances intended for indoor use only and can be supplied with natural gas or
liquefied propane or propane-butane gas. The devices can be installed in many different ways (including installation
with or without glass or optional casing), thus adapting to any installation variant, so as to be able to fully meet the
requirements of even the most demanding customers. Regardless of the variant and the length of the VERSAL fireplace,
they are equipped with automation and protection of the same type, and the way of their connection to the gas system
and the chimney system is identical. The user can also choose a variant of the fireplace interior design, and the control
can be carried out by using remote control attached to the device or through the intelligent building automation
system.

3.1. Safety instructions for VE SAL’s fireplace installation
•For installation of exhaust flue, you should only use the system supplied by the company Planika.
•For the construction of fireplace housing equipment use only non-flammable materials (e. g. non-combustible
and heat-resistant plates or materials made of stone). Non-combustible materials must be used to complete
both external as well as internal part of the housing, and for completing the wall, at which the device will be
placed.
•Strictly follow the minimum distance between non-combustible walls of the housing and the device.
•To improve the circulation inside the unit and to reduce the risk of overheating of its walls (including the wall,
which the device was placed on), you must comply with the distances shown in the mounting drawings.
•Use the electric wires in high-temperature insulation, and place them away from the hot parts of the fireplace
and installation items.
•Combustible materials should be placed no closer than within 1 m from the unit.
•Only decorative accessories attached to the device by the manufacturer should be placed on the hearth (logs,
stones, vermiculite or ash imitation). These accessories should be installed as described in this manual.
Incorrect placement of decorative materials may result in shortening the useful life of the hearth and its
damage.
•WA NING! Make sure you don’t place any decorative elements around the ignition and ionization electrodes.
•WA NING! Before installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (identification of the type of the
gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
3.2. Safety instructions for the use of fireplace powered by gas cylinder
•Use only the type of gas and pressure specified on the label by the manufacturer.
•Gas cylinders should always be in an upright position - both during use and transport.
•A storage of the gas cylinder should be located in a place easily accessible to allow its immediate closure.
•During installation, never approach the gas flame or any other source of fire.
•Gas cylinder should not be closer than 1.5 m from the fireplace VERSAL.
•Any leaks should be located using a mixture of water and foaming cleaning fluid. The resulting air bubbles
indicate a leak.
•Always use a pressure reducer between the cylinder and the device. Replace pressure regulator at least every
5 years. Permissible pressure: 30mbar, 37mbar (recommended), 50 mbar. Use only regulators that meet the
requirements of European Standard EN1 129.
•Use only approved and certified cables connecting gas (flexible hose). Replace them at least every 2 years.
•Flexible hose supplying gas to the unit should be located away from sharp edges and hot surfaces. Avoid bends
and twists of flexible connections along the whole length.
•Note that the gas cylinder LPG should be installed in well-ventilated areas. LPG gas is heavier than air and its
accumulation on the substrate can lead to the formation of explosive mixtures.

Copyright Planika Sp. z o.o. www.planikafires.com IG0251#05 0 .03.2019 8
•Optional housing, which cylinder of LPG will be placed at, must have adequate ventilation. It must have an
upper ventilation opening above the top of the cylinder (with min 1/100 base surface of the installation) and
a lower vent opening at its base (with min 1/50 base surface of the installation).
•Turn off gas cylinder, if the device is not in use.
•Filling the gas cylinders should only be done at certified gas filling stations.
•Exchange of empty bottles for full should take place only at authorized points.
3.3. Safery sensors
Planika fireplaces are equipped with advanced safety sensors detecting hazards related to the presence of
carbon monoxide (CO) and gas (LPG or natural gas, depending on the device category). In the event of any
danger, the sensor will automatically turn off the fireplace and, additionally, it will inform the user about the
threat detected by sound signals. Restart of the device is possible after removing the cause of the CO and
gas sensor activation. Detailed assembly instructions, wiring diagram and operating instructions are supplied
with the sensor.
3.4. Protection against backward chimney draft
All Versal Insert series fireplaces are equipped with a draft pressure sensor which shall be installed at the inlet to the
flue pipe (chimney). It prevents operation of the device in case of blockage or complete block of the flue pipe. It
prevents the fireplace from being used when there is a backward draught and a dangerous release of smoke and
combustion products, including carbon monoxide, which is the most dangerous for human and animal health and life,
into the room where the fireplace is installed. Reverse draught occurs when air enters the room through the flue pipe
due to ventilation disturbances in very airtight buildings. The air is sucked in through all other available ducts, including
those for combustion and ventilation purposes, instead of through dedicated air supply ducts. Backward chimney draft
can also be created in the case of mounting, in buildings where open combustion chamber devices are used,
mechanical exhaust ventilation, including kitchen hoods. In this case, backward chimney draft occurs when the
efficiency of the exhaust fan (e.g. in kitchen hood) exceeds the efficiency of micro ventilation in the room, and the
resulting negative pressure leads to the intake of air through the combustion ducts.
When backward chimney draft appears, or if the chimney is blocked, the flue gases flow into the room through the
open combustion chamber. In such a case, when the fireplace starts up, hot and light exhaust fumes are blocked and
the pressure sensor will be activated if the disturbed chimney draft drops below required minimum level (15 Pa).
It results in the interruption of the device operation.

Copyright Planika Sp. z o.o. www.planikafires.com IG0251#05 0 .03.2019 9
In this case, the fireplace will automatically switch off and error code F08 will appear on the remote control. The unit
can be restarted after the cause of the backward chimney draft or blockage of the flue pipe have been eliminated.
WA NING! In case of repeated operation of the spillage monitor, a specialist should be informed.
WA NING! In the case of repeated operation of the spillage monitoring system, please inform a specialist.
WA NING! The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted by the installer.
WA NING! The spillage monitoring system shall not be put out of operation.
WA NING! When the spillage monitoring system, or any of its parts is exchanged, only original manufacturer’s parts
shall be used.

5.5. Placing the device
Before connecting the device to gas and concentric flue system, it should be thoughtful to choose the place of its
detention and place it in such way, so that the flue system have the minimum number of bends. This will ensure
adequate chimney draft and adequate circulation inside the combustion chamber. It is also important that after you
connect the fireplace to a gas pipe, flexible connecting wires are not exposed to excessive twisting and are located
away from hot parts.
By acceding to the installation of the unit, particular attention should be paid to:
•The unit was located at a minimum distance of 1m from objects or flammable materials.

Copyright Planika Sp. z o.o. www.planikafires.com IG0251#05 0 .03.2019 14
• The device was minimum 50 mm away from the non-flammable housing elements and the minimum distance
between the device and the back wall was not less than 50 mm.
Before performing the installation, protect the elements of the gas control system from dirt. Installation of the
fireplace, according to current building regulations should be made of non-combustible materials (including floor and
ceiling). If the fireplace is powered by natural gas (NG), exhaust grille should be placed under the ceiling of the room
where the device is installed. Power liquid propane - butane (LPG) requires from the installer placing the exhaust grilles
next to the floor, above ground level in the room in which the device is installed.
To perform the installation of the fireplace housing, you should use non-combustible and heat-resistant materials,
including its upper part, material in its interior and behind the device.
WA NING! The device must not be used as a supporting construction - it cannot keep the weight of the fireplace wall.
WA NING! If the device is built into the floor (only in the case of natural gas), you must take into account the minimum
distance from flammable material floor finish. It is prohibited to build in LPG-powered device into the floor.
WA NING! You should follow the recommended minimum dimensions of the housing.
During construction of fireplace housing, you should consider the following:
•Front hole of the fireplace housing must allow easy installation and removal of the front glass (if installed)
after placing the fireplace wall.
•Secure the gas assembly and gas pipes against contamination.
•Do not apply the plaster directly on the mounting frame nor on the edges, because the high temperatures
generated by the device can cause cracks and it may not be possible to assembly or disassembly of the front
glass.
•In case of using stone materials and/or gypsum plasters, to prevent the occurrence of cracks, leave fireplace
wall to dry for at least six weeks before putting the unit into service.
WA NING! Before closing the fireplace wall completely, please ensure that:
•Flue system has been places correctly.
• Channels and any connecting terminals, which will not be available after installation, are mounted correctly
by using self-tapping screws .
•Do not insulate the appliance.
•Flammable materials, such as curtains, should not be placed in the vicinity of the gas fireplace. Minimum safe
distance: 100 cm.
•Position the appliance at least 10 cm above the floor height. If the appliance is fitted less than 10 cm from the
floor, then it will require a hearth to protect the floor. The hearth should have a minimum dimension of 12
mm thick, laying completely under the appliance and projecting 30 cm in front and 15 cm either side of the
appliance.
•A hearth is not required with a noncombustible floor.
Ensure that the temperature of the floor under and in front of the appliance can never rise above 85°C
