1 - INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT! All local regulations, including those
that refer to national or European regulations, must
be applied when installing this device.
NOTE: When installing any type of insulation to
safeguard the heat cover, take the following
obligatory recommendations into account:
•
The insulation must never come into contact with
the device; this would prevent the transfer of heat
and the displacement of the hot air to the top of
the hood.
•
Leave a minimum distance of 7 cm between the
insulation and the appliance.
The way the Compact SERE is installed will have a
decisive effect on safety issues and its correct
operation.
It is important to install the fireplace correctly.
To ensure your Compact SERE fireplace and the
chimney is installed correctly, it should be installed by
a professional.

FIG. 1
1.2 - HOT AIR OUTLET OPTIONS
The Compact SERE provides heat by radiation;
directly heating walls, ceilings... and by forced air
convection, thanks to the fans installed.
TOP GRILLE AIR FLOW
This is the STANDARD air exit. Air enters through the
lower section, "A", and the internal fan forces the hot
air through the top section "B".
AIR FLOW THROUGH THE HOOD
This option is compatible with the one mentioned
above.
Brick hoods must include holes at the bottom and at
the top. These gaps can be covered by ornamental
grilles to facilitate the flow of air. Cold air enters
through the lower section, "C" and exits through the
upper section "D"
Take into account that your Compact SERE Fireplace
provides most of its heat by convection. If the
ventilation holes in the hood are not large enough,
the device may be damaged if it is unable to dissipate
the heat.
IMPORTANT!
The
recommended is 200cm² of free passage through the
grille.
The air input grilles in the hood must be located in
such a way that they cannot be blocked.
The air coming out of the upper vents can reach a high
temperature. Do not use materials that are not heat
resistant in the outlet area of the vents.They must
also be metallic, never wood or plastic.
Do not place any objects near the upper air vents, as
the hot air that comes out of them can damage them.
The lack of ventilation grilles in the envelope will
generate a constant increase in the temperature that
cannot be used to heat the room and will fracture the
envelope and the components of your appliance.
Fractures
of
the
components due to excessive temperature and an
absence of vents are not covered under warranty.
For further information on the correct installation of
the device, please see the Manual for the
Professional Installer.
