2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Read the instructions before using the appliance.
• Use outdoors only.
• The GaLiO Corten fireplace should be installed and serviced annually according to the below installation
manual as well as enforced national and local laws regarding gas safety (installation and use).
• One needs to assess whether the data on the product plaque complies with the local type of gas and pressure.
• Do not change the structure of the device or its sealed elements nor modify the default settings of the GaLiO
Corten fireplace.
• Do not set any additional imitation blocks nor any glowing coal fragments on the burner or in the combustion
chamber.
• A CO2 or a powder fire extinguisher needs to be placed near the device.
• During the first ignition the GaLiO Corten fireplace needs to be burnt on maximum level for a few hours in
order for the elements to acquire correct temperature and for the remains of paint, lacquer and lubricant to
evaporate.
• The appliance must be fixed in position and not moved.
• GaLiO Corten has been designed for decorative purposes. The surface of the GaLiO Corten fireplace including
the glass screens may get hot (up to 100 degrees Celsius) with the exception of the side walls of the appliance
and the control panel. WARNING!!! Parts of the device that are easy to reach may be very hot. Keep children
away from the device.
• Glass panels must be installed when GaLiO Corten is in use.
• This appliance must be kept away from flammable materials during use. Do not place any combustible
materials within a distance of 1 m of GaLiO Corten and 2 m over the appliance (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Minimum distance to flammable materials
• When the GaLiO Corten fireplace is on it’s not to be exposed to rain.
• When not being used the GaLiO Corten is to be protected from atmospheric conditions and the main valve of
the gas cylinder needs to be turned off.
• If the GaLiO Corten is not in use for a longer period of time (e.g. winter time), we advise you to protect it with
a cover.

Copyright Planika Sp. z o.o. www.planikafires.com IG0033#08 2020-03-20 7
• Corrosion of the coating of the base of GaLiO Corten is a natural process resulting from the characteristics of
the Corten steel which the fireplace is made of. It is an additional protective layer of the appliance against the
negative influence of unfavorable weather conditions.
• Other parts of the GaLiO Corten fireplace are made of stain resistant material.
• Never leave a turned on GaLiO Corten without supervision.
• The GaLiO Corten fireplace needs to be installed in a place inaccessible for children, unauthorised persons or
animals for the direct contact with the flame or hot parts of the device to be impossible.
• In case of heavy wind the GaLiO Corten fireplace needs to be immediately turned off and one needs to await
until the heavy wind passes.
• In case of noticing any sort of gas leaks the fireplace as well as the main valve of the gas cylinder need to be
turned off.
• After use turn off the gas cylinder valve.
2.1 Safety instruction regarding the use of the gas cylinders.
• Use only the type of gas and pressure specified by the manufacturer.
• The gas cylinders should always be placed in a vertical position – during use and transport.
• Always store the gas cylinder in an easily accessible place to allow its immediate turn-off.
• During the installation process do not allow an open flame or any ignited object to reach the gas cylinder.
• The gas cylinder must be located in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 and AS/NZS 1596.
• Leaks should be found with the use of a cleaning liquid and water. If bubbles form on the surface that means
that there’s a leak that must be fixed before operation.
• Use only approved and certified hose and regulator assemblies, check condition before each use and replace
every 2 years.
• Ensure any hoses are kept away from sharp edges and hot surfaces. Refrain from bends and twists over its full
length.
• Remember that the LPG bottle should be stored in a well-ventilated place. LPG gas is heavier than air and its
accumulation near the bottom surface may generate an explosive mixture.
• The housing in which the LPG bottle is (optionally) placed needs to have an appropriate ventilation. The
housing needs to have upper and lower ventilation (minimum 200cm2 each, in accordance with AS/NZS
5601.1).
• The gas cylinder needs to be shut if the fireplace is not being used.
• Filling the gas cylinders is to be commissioned to certified gas filling stations.
• Replacement of empty cylinders for full ones is to be conducted only in authorised locations.

3.4. Installation of the gas hose
WARNING!!! The installation 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 Corten needs to be already performed. Place the gas linkage away from hot or sharp
edges and make sure it is not twisted.
3.4.1. 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 1/2 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.
3.4.2. Connection and replacement of the gas cylinder (LPG version)
The GaLiO Corten is delivered together with an AS/NZS 1869 certified hose assembly which, on one end is connected
to the valve of the appliance and on the other end to the AS 4621 certified 2.75kParegulator (POL connection) ready
to be connected to the gas cylinder. The hose and regulator assembly must be checked at each time a new cylinder is
connected, for any damage or deterioration such as cracks, cuts, abrasions including the condition of the o-ring seal.
If in any doubt contact the place of purchase for a suitable replacement.
The GaLiO Corten fireplace is suitable for use with 4.5kg-9kg propane cylinders.
WARNING!!! NEVER use an unstable gas connection or a regulator for other gas pressure.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. General Notes
The GaLiO Corten Remote fireplace has a remotely control valve with a built-in ignition for the pilot flame. The flame
height of the main burner may be appropriately regulated by remote control or Touch Panel.
Photo 3: Hand-held transmitter and Touch Panel
4.2. Setting up signal code before using the appliance for the first times
WARNING! You only need to set up the signal code once. It is not necessary when changing the batteries of the hand-
held transmitter or receiver. The appliance is delivered already configured and ready to work.
In case of lost or damaged of hand-held transmitter the new one has to be programmed and the receiver must first
learn the hand-held transmitter’s signal code before the first use:
• Press the “RESET” button on the receiver, and keep this pressed until 2 beeps are heard (See Figure 2). Release
the “RESET” button after the second (somewhat longer) beep.
Press, within 20 seconds, the button (small flame) on the hand-held transmitter, until 2 short beeps are heard.
The signal code has now been set up on the receiver. If, however, a single long beep is heard, this means that setting
the signal code has failed or that the wiring has been connected incorrectly.
