!Caution

•

Use non combustible and heat-resistant materials for the chimney breast including the top of the chimney 
breast, the material in the chimney breast and the back wall of the chimney breast.

•

The appliance is not a support structure. Make sure the appliance does not have to bear the weight of the 
chimney breast for example.

•

The passage of the ventilation holes (outgoing), which are placed as high as possible, is stated in Appendix 2, 
Table 2.

•

If no control hatch is placed in the chimney breast, an air supply of at least 80 cm

2

 should be attached as low 

as possible. If there is, the control hatch will suffice as air supply.

!Caution

When placing the chimney breast, you should take the following into account (see Appendix 3, Fig. 2):
•

The location for the control hatch: this must be placed as low as possible.

•

The dimensions of the control hatch; see Placing the control hatch section 5.7.

•

The location of the ventilation holes (V) (outgoing).

•

Maintain a minimum 30 cm distance between the top of the ventilation hole (outgoing) and the ceiling of the 
house.

•

The measurements of the glass pane, so that it can be placed/removed after placing the chimney breast.

•

The protection of the gas control and the pipes against cement and plaster.

•

If possible, you should place decorative strips, frames, etc., after any required structural work has been 
completed. Prevent the use of painter's tape. If this is not possible: use a good quality painter's tape and 
remove it immediately after plastering or painting work.

!Tip

You should preferably apply the ventilation holes (outgoing) on both sides of the chimney breast. Use the DRU 
ventilation elements.

Check the following issues, before the chimney breast is fully closed:
•

Whether the discharge / concentric system is placed correctly.

•

Whether the channels, fixing brackets and possible clip bindings, which cannot be reached after installation, 
are fastened by means of self-tapping screws.

Ø

Do not plaster on or over the edges of the construction frame, because:
•

The heat of the appliance could cause cracks.

•

It will no longer be possible to remove/place the glass pane.

Ø

When using stone-like materials and/or plaster finishing, allow the chimney breast to dry for at least six weeks 
prior to taking the appliance into operation in order to prevent cracks.

5.7 Placing the control hatch

 (if applicable)

The control hatch (also see paragraphs 5.5 and 5.6) is placed as low as possible in the chimney breast.

!Caution

•

The bottom of the control hatch may not be placed higher in the appliance than the burner surface.

•

Place control hatch and bracket with gas control indoors in a dry place only!

A number of components are placed in the control hatch, such as data plate, gas control and, if applicable, the 
components belonging to the DRU Powervent System

®

.

Place the control hatch as follows, see Appendix 3, Fig. 3 for details:

Ø

Make an opening in the chimney breast, as described in the manual for the control hatch.

!Tip

The opening in the chimney breast may be made horizontal and vertical.

Ø

Place the inner frame (A); unscrew bolts (D and F) for this.

!Caution

The inner frame should be placed in the correct way. Two positions are possible. Placing the inner frame with a 
rotation of 180° is not allowed (see Appendix 3, fig. 4).
