9.1  

Checking and cleaning:

* 

Check and clean if necessary after verification:

- 

the pilot light 

- 

the combustion chamber

- 

the glass 

- 

the logs for breakage

- 

the outlet

* 

Replace, if necessary:

- 

chips/glass granulate

9.2  

Cleaning the glass

Most deposits can be removed with a dry cloth. Clean the glass 

with a ceramic hob cleaner. 

> 

Please note:

Avoid fingerprints on the glass. These are no longer removable 

after they are burnt in!

Now carry out check-up as described in Chapter 7 “Checking after 

installation”.

10  Conversion to other gas type

The conversion to a different gas type may only be performed by a 

qualified installer/dealer.

10.1 

Conversion from natural gas to propane 

(or vice versa)

This can only be done by replacing the burner. To do so, please 

contact your dealer.

Specify with your order always the type and serial number of the 

device.

11  Flue calculation

A simple way to calculate whether the exhaust configuration is 

possible in combination with your fire, use the free “Faber Flue App” 

and download it from:

INTERNET:                                                                                                                                             

BlackBerry, Android, PC (with Google Chrome browser)

APP store:                                                                                                                                            

iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Google 

Play: 

Android smartphones and Android tablets.

Alternatively use the exhaust calculation table (see chapter 13).

The alternatives of outlet lengths and any restrictors are set out in 

the restrictor table. In the table we work with start length (STL), total 

vertical height (TVH) and total horizontal length (THL).

• 

Start length (STL): 

This is the first part that is placed on the fire and represents a 

certain value (fig. 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 A, N and F). This value is in 

the top row of the table (see restrictor table 11.1 and 11.2).

• 

Total vertical height (TVH):  

TVH is the difference in height measured from the top of the unit to 

the outlet; it can be measured or determined from the building plan. 

For clarification see the TVH indication in the drawings (fig. 12.1, 

12.2 and 12.3).

• 

Total horizontal length (THL): 

THL is the total horizontal length and consists of elbows and pipes 

which are entirely in the horizontal plane. Elbows I, K and Q and 

the elements H, J, L, M, P and R (fig. 12.1 and 12.2).

• 

Length 

horizontal 

plane: 

The horizontal length consists of the elements H, J, L, M, P and R 

(fig. 12.1 and 12.2).

• 

Elbows 90° in the horizontal plane:   

Horizontal bends are bends which are entirely in the horizontal 

plane (fig. 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 I, K and Q).

• 

Bends 45° or 30° in the horizontal plane: 

Horizontal bends are bends which are entirely in the horizontal 

plane.

• 

Elbows 90° vertical to horizontal plane: 

These are 90° elbows, which proceed from horizontal to vertical    

(fig. 12.2 and 12.3 G, O and S).

• 

Bends 45° or 30 °vertical to horizontal plane:   

These are 30° or 45° bends with a vertical offset of less than 45° 

(fig.12.1 B and D).

• 

Pipes under a tilt angle:   

These are pipes which are vertically ascending at an angle of 30° 

or 45° (fig. 12.1 C). Fill in only in combination with at least 2x 30 or 

45° bends in the vertical part.

• 

Restrictor 

table: 

See the restrictor table at the right vertical (TVH) and horizontal 

length (THL).

For “x” and if the values are outside the table, then the combination 

is not allowed. Only then adjust the TVH or THL.

If a value is indicated, check that the calculated STL value is not 

lower than indicated in the table. In this case STL must be adjusted. 

The found value indicates the width of the restrictor (“0” means no 

restrictor). Standard is a restrictor of 30mm installed (see fig, 2.0 F, 

first remove hatch “G”).
