Terminals 

The combined supply and discharge can be done both via wall or 

through the roof or through an existing chimney. Verify if the 

position of the terminal meets the local regulations regarding 

ventilation openings.

The flue outlet can end on an external wall or a roof. Check 

whether the outlet desired by you complies with local requirements 

concerning good function and ventilation systems.

> 

Please note:

For a proper functioning the terminal should be at least 0,5m. away 

from:

• 

Corners of the building

• 

Roof overhangs and balconies

• 

Eaves (with the exception of the roof ridge, see Chapter 15)

3.4.1 

C11, wall terminal

For a facade or wall outlet use a wall terminal (see fig. 1.9 C11).

Depending on the calculation this can be a diameter of 

130/200mm or 100/150mm.

3.4.2 

C31, roof terminal

For a flat or pits roof outlet use a long roof outlet with a diameter of 

100/150mm (see fig. 1.9 C31).

3.4.3 

C91, existing chimney

For an existing chimney use the short chimney outlet with a 

diameter of 100/150mm (see fig. 1.9 C91).

In this case the existing chimney acts as air inlet an inserted flexible 

stainless steel pipe discharges the flue gas. The top and the bottom 

should be airtight.

Depending on the calculated outlet diameter, use a flexible 

stainless steel tube of Ø100mm or Ø130mm with CE marking 

for 600°C.

>   Please note:

The minimum chimney diameter for a 130mm flexible stainless 

steel pipe must 200x200mm. and for a 100mm flexible stainless 

steel pipe 150x150mm.

3.5  

Existing chimney

You can also connect to an existing fireplace chimney. The existing 

chimney functions then as air supply and a flexible stainless steel 

tube drawn through the chimney carries the flue gases. The flexible 

stainless steel tube of Ø100mm must have a CE mark have up to 

600°C.

The chimney must have the following conditions:

• 

The channel of the chimney must be at least 150x150mm.

• 

There should be no more than one device on a chimney.

• 

The chimney must be in good condition:

-  

no leakage

- 

well cleaned

For more information about connections to existing chimneys, ask 

the installation manual “chimney connection set”. 

4 Preparation and installation 

 instructions

4.1  

Gas connection

The gas connection must comply with the applicable local 

standards.

We advise using a Ø 15mm gas connection directly from the gas 

meter to the appliance, with a shut-off valve in the proximity of the 

appliance, which must always be freely accessible.

Position the gas connection so that it is easily accessible at all 

times for service, and that the burner unit can be disassembled. 

4.2  

Electrical connection

The power supply must comply with the applicable local standards.

A wall socket 230VAC/50Hz must be installed near the fire.

For power supply make use of the included plug adapter.

See fig 2.8 or 2.9 for the wiring diagram of this connection and the 

LED Symbio module.

A = plug adapter

B = control unit

C = receiver

D = LED Symbio module

E = control block

F = magnet valve

G = 2nd thermocouple

4.2.1 

Smart-Home installation

You can connect the control unit to the receiver with an external 

source, such as a Domotica home automation system, using the 

5-wire pin connector. 

(Part G60-ZCE/1000, art.no.: 06022950). The total length of the 

cable may not exceed 8m. Signal relay (gold-plated contacts) or 

opto-couples are recommended! 

4.2.2 

Faber ITC (Intelligent Technical Controller)

The ITC gives you more options, such as ECO control, control, 

error messages, maintenance advice and such.

For further information see the ”ITC” user manual.

4.3  

Preparing the fire

• 

Remove the fire from its packaging. Ensure that the gas    

supply pipes under the appliance are not damaged. 

• 

Remove frame and glass and take the packaged parts from  

the fire.

• 

Store frame and glass in a safe place.

• 

Prepare the gas connection on the regulator.

4.4  

Positioning the fire

Take the installation requirements into account (see Chapter 3). 

Place the appliance in the right position and set the height with the 

(optional) leg levelers.

Height adjustment and levelling of the appliance (see point C, fig. 

1.1).

Rough height adjustment:

• 

With the extendable (optional) leg.

Fine adjustment:

• 

With the adjustable feet.
