•Do not start up the device before it’s placed safely into the prepared housing.
•The GaLiO Fire Pit Insert fireplace should be installed and controlled annually according to the below
installation manual as well as enforced national and local laws regarding gas safety (installation and use).
•One needs to assess whether the data on the product plaque complies with the local type of gas and pressure.
•Do not change the structure of the device or its sealed elements nor modify the default settings of the GaLiO
Fire Pit Insert fireplace.
•Do not set any additional imitation blocks nor any glowing coal fragments on the burner or in the combustion
chamber.
•A ventilation grid or slot with a ventilation area of 150cm2 is required at the base of the housing. A device
without the grid or slot for ventilation will function incorrectly causing a threat of damaging the unit or causing
a fire.
•A CO2 or a powder fire extinguisher needs to be placed near the device.
•During the first ignition the GaLiO Fire Pit Insert fireplace needs to be burnt on maximum level for a few hours
in order for the elements to acquire correct temperature and for the remains of paint, lacquer and lubricant
to evaporate.
•Do not move the device while it’s working.
•The GaLiO Fire Pit Insert fireplace was designed for decorative purposes. The surface of the GaLiO Fire Pit
Insert fireplace (including the optional glass screens) may get hot (up to 100 degrees Celsius). WARNING!:
parts of the device that are easy to reach may be very hot. Keep children away from the device.
•Some variants of housing for the device may require installing additional toughened glass screens (provided
separately).
•Install the fireplace away from flammable materials.
•When the GaLiO Fire Pit Insert fireplace is on it’s not to be exposed to rain.
•When not being used the GaLiO Fire Pit Insert is to be protected from atmospheric conditions and the main
valve of the gas cylinder needs to be turned off.
•All parts of the GaLiO Fire Pit Insert fireplace are made of stain resistant material.
•Never leave a turned on GaLiO Fire Pit Insert without supervision.

1.1 Safety instruction regarding the use of the gas cylinder
•Use only the type of gas and pressure specified by the manufacturer.
•The gas cylinders should always be placed in a vertical position –during use and transport.
•Always store the gas cylinder in an easily accessible place to allow its immediate turn-off.
•Change the gas cylinder in a amply ventilated area, away from any ignition source (candle, cigarettes, other
flame producing appliances).
•Do not obstruct the ventilation holes of the cylinder housing.
•In the event of gas leakage, the appliance shall not be used or if alight, the gas supply shall be shut off and the
appliance shall be investigated and rectified before it is used again.
•During the installation process do not allow an open flame or any ignited object to reach the gas cylinder.
•The gas cylinder should be in a distance not shorter than 1,5 metres away from the GaLiO Fire Pit Insert
fireplace.
•Leaks should be found with the use of a cleaning liquid and water. If bubbles form on the surface that means
that a there’s an existing leak.
•Always use a pressure regulator between the gas cylinder and the device. Replace the pressure regulator every
5 years. The allowed pressures are: 30mbar, 37mbar (recommended), 50 mbar. Use only regulators complying
with the European EN16129 Norm.
•Use only approved and certified gas connection linkage. Replace the linkage every 2 years.
•Check the flexible hose at least once per month and each time the cylinder is changed. If it shows signs of
cracking, splitting or other deterioration it shall be exchanged for new hose of the same length and of the
equivalent quality.
•Do not connect the gas cylinder directly to the appliance without regulator.
•The tubing or the flexible hose must be changed within the prescribed intervals.
•Use only the type of gas and the type of cylinder specified in these instructions
•The elastic linkage connecting gas to the fireplace is to be led away from sharp edges and hot surfaces. Refrain
from bends and twists of the elastic connection on its full length.
•Remember that the LPG bottle should be stored in a well-ventilated place. LPG gas is heavier than air and its
accumulation near the surface may generate an explosive mixture.
•The housing in which the LPG bottle is (optionally) placed needs to have an appropriate ventilation. The
housing needs to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle (of an area min 1/100 of the area
of the base of the housing) and a lower ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50 of the area of the base of the
housing).
•The gas cylinder needs to be shut if the fireplace is not being used.
•Filling the gas cylinders is to be commissioned to certified gas filling stations.
•Replacement of empty bottles for full ones is to be conducted only in authorised locations.

4. MONTAGE
WARNING!!! All elements above the fireplace need to be made of non-flammable materials.
In accordance with fire safety measures there
should be no flammable objects in direct
contact with the device nor within a 1 metre
radius from the fire. Additionally, Planika
doesn’t recommend placing heat-sensitive
objects above the fireplace as it may shorten
their lifetime. Planika will not be responsible
for any damage caused by high temperature
affecting objects installed above the fire.

The dimensions and shape of the ventilation grid may be according to client specifications however both the minimum
ventilation area of 150 cm2 as well as minimum distance from the edge of the housing of 200 mm minimum need to
be observed.
•The dimensions of the housing are to be chosen according to the technical drawings and a ventilation grid or
slot –with ventilation area min 150cm2 –needs to be placed near the base of the unit, minimally 200 mm
below the burner surface.
•If a hood is placed above the burner it needs to be made of non-flammable materials and a minimum distance
of 60 cm from the surface of the burner needs to be observed. WARNING!!! If the housing is devoid of a
diagonal hood above the burner one needs to remember that all surfaces inside the housing exposed to
contact with hot air need to be made of non-flammable materials.
•It is not permitted to use a device which is not housed in some way.
4.3 Directions of how to design a housing for the fireplace

•Make the cavity for the insert according to the below outline. When preparing the cavity make sure the surface
on which the insert is placed is well-levelled as there is no option of levelling out the insert.
•WARNING! The level difference between the edges of the fireplace cannot exceed 2 mm. Incorrect levelling
may cause incorrect operation of the device and in a worst case scenario, a fire.
4.4 Gas cylinder montage
In case of installation of GaLiO Fire Pit Insert it is crucial to manufacture a slot in the side of the housing where the
insert is placed for the gas linkage and the pressure regulator.
Ventilation grate or slot with ventilation area of minimum 150cm2

The gas linkage attached to the device allows to place the gas cylinder maximally 3 metres away from the connected
control panel, however it cannot be placed nearer to the device than 1,5 metres.
•The optional housing for the gas cylinder cannot be airtight and has to be correctly ventilated. The housing
needs to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle (of an area min 1/100 of the area of the
base of the housing) and a lower ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50 of the area of the base of the housing).
The dimensions of the housing may vary to accommodate different types and dimensions of the gas cylinders
however they also have to be sufficient for hassle-free installation of the gas cylinder.
