Operating conditions
The gas radiator must be installed in accordance with STN 06 1008. It is necessary to maintain safety distances of at least 100 mm from flammable materials of flammability class B, C1, C2. This distance increases to 200 mm in the direction above the appliance. In the case of materials of flammability class C3 and if the flammability class is not proven by testing according to STN 73 0862, this distance must be increased to 400 mm. The following classes are specified in the above standard:
- A - non-flammable building materials, e.g.: concrete, mortar, brick, glass, etc.
- B - very difficult to burn materials, e.g.: akumin, isomin, etc.
- C1 - difficult to burn materials, e.g.: beech, oak wood, etc.
- C2 - moderately difficult to burn materials, e.g.: fir, spruce wood, etc.
- C3 - easily flammable materials, e.g.: sawdust boards, polypropylene, polystyrene, floor textiles woven with synthetic hair, carpet, rekos, etc.
The flue pipe must be insulated when passing through a wall made of flammable material so that the surface temperature of this material does not exceed 120°C.
If you detect a smell of gas or flue gases, it is necessary to close the gas supply in front of the radiator. The radiator can be used again after the cause of the malfunction has been eliminated by an authorized person. When first put into operation, odorous fumes may occur for a short time, which are not caused by a malfunction of the appliance and it is necessary to remove these from the room by ventilation.
The gas radiator may only be used for the purposes for which it was approved.
When working near a gas radiator, which poses a risk of fire (gluing PVC, working with volatile flammable substances, etc.), the radiator must be taken out of service before the danger arises.
The radiator must not be loaded with heavy objects and must not be covered with other objects during operation.
To ensure proper and economical operation, the manufacturer recommends having a professional inspect and clean the radiator once a year.
