Safety
A WANDERS source of heat is more than just a stove in your room; the flue and the exterior wall and/or roof duct are also part
of the heating system. Only when your gas hearth is installed with the concentric flue designed by Wanders (M&G or Schiedel
Metaloterm) can we guarantee that your hearth is burning safely.
Every gas hearth by WANDERS is installed with a thermocouple interrupter. This will prevent unexpected gas flow if the pilot
light has gone out.
Here are some recommendations for safely using your gas stove:
•
Only use your gas hearth if it is properly closed. If the glass is broken, you must not use the fireplace.
•
Prevent small children or the infirm from getting too close to a burning stove and do not leave them alone in the room when
the stove is burning. You could use a fire-screen.
•
Put the ignition knob on the 'small flame' symbol to put the remote control out of operation while the pilot flame stays alight.
This will ensure that no one can accidentally put the hearth higher or lower.
•
Never allow children to play with the remote handset.
•
Do not pour or put combustible liquids and materials on the log set, as it may damage the fireplace beyond repair.
•
Do not place any combustible materials, such as curtains, close to the fireplace. A minimum distance of 1.5 metres is required.
•
The gas hearth must be repaired with original parts only, and by a certified installer.
•
If for any reason the pilot light goes out, you must wait 5 minutes before igniting the hearth again.

Installation instruction
Your gas fireplace may only be installed by a qualified installer and must be used in combination with the Wanders (M&G or
Schiedel Metaloterm) concentric flue system. Only then will the fireplace be approved in accordance with the European CE
directive for appliances burning gaseous fuels. We do not offer a warranty if the gas stove has been connected and/or installed
incompletely or incorrectly. The flue system consists of an inner flue pipe with a diameter of 100 millimetres and an outside
fluepipe with a diameter of 150 millimetres. The gases are exhausted outside via the inner 100-millimetre flue pipe through
natural draught, while combustion air is supplied between the 100-millimetre and 150-millimetre flue pipe.
The appliance may only be installed and connected by a certified installer in accordance with the standard gas installation
instructions and the installation requirements mentioned below. Furthermore, the national and local rules and regulations on
placing and using closed gas appliances shall be applicable. Only a certified installer has the authority to change the setting
values (in accordance with the requirements) and to carry out any other adjustments.
Before installing the appliance, the installer must check whether the information on the type tag of the fireplace
corresponds with the gas type and gas pressure to which the appliance is connected. If it does not match, you
are not allowed to connect the gas hearth.
Placing
The gas fireplace can be placed in a crack-free and/or mechanically ventilated home without difficulty. There is no need for
extra ventilation for combustion or for a smoke and fire vent. Waste gases are discharged by natural draught via the inner pipe
into the open. The oxygen needed for burning the fire is supplied from the space between the pipes. This is the reason that no
insulation must be placed between the inner and outer pipe.
If an existing chimney is used, first make sure whether the chimney is sufficiently insulated and is wide enough to accommodate
the concentric pipe system. If the chimney was previously used as a wood-burning or coal-fired stove, it must first be
professionally cleaned.
The Tali must not be built into the wall, and must be placed on a floor that is solid enough to hold the appliance. The distance
from the Tali to the rear wall must be at least 10 cm, and there must be a free space of at least 20 centimetres to the right and
