3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
When fi tting the stove, local and/or national regulations relating to fi re safety must be
followed. In case of doubt, consult the fi re safety department of the local fi re brigade,
particularly if the stove is to be fi tted in a home with walls and/or fl oors containing
fl ammable material.
Position the appliance suffi ciently far away from the wall behind it, according to the data
from chapter 1.2. If the walls are not fi re-proof, the distance should be such that the wall
in question cannot become hotter than 80°C, even when the stove is stoked up to high
temperatures. In case of doubt, insert a fi re-proof protection shield.
The fl oor on which the appliance is placed must have suffi cient bearing power.
The connection of several appliances to a single fl ue/chimney is not allowed.
3.2 CHIMNEY
Be sure that existing chimneys are completely air-tight and in good condition. In terms
of dimensions, the chimney must have a diameter of at least 130 mm for the entire
length (including the chimney pot).
Ensure that the chimney is fi tted with an appropriate cap to avoid rain and dirt getting in
(as well as bird’s nests).
The draught fl owing through the chimney determines how well your stove will burn
(minimum draught 0.12 mbar = 12 Pa; recommended draught 0.15 mbar: = 15 Pa).
In the event of problems, a solution may be a different chimney cap, if necessary one
with a chimney fan. Contact a specialist if you have any doubts about any of the above
points.
If your chimney is unsuitable, or if your home does not have a chimney, we recommend
the use of double-walled stainless steel chimney sections. Chimneys must comply with
the prevailing building regulations. Make sure the building is carried out by a specialist.
When purchasing such chimneys, be sure to check if a casing is required.
Important:
• Chimneys must be free-standing, i.e. they must not rest on the appliance itself.
• Any pipe connections that are not insulated must also be fully insulated.
• Flammable material must be kept clear (outside the casing/insulation zone) of all
through-feeds in the fl oor or wall (remember the roof decking).
• The chimney opening must be at least 5 metres above the top of the door opening of
your appliance.
• The chimney must protrude at least 40 cm above the apex of a sloping roof and at
least 1 metre above a fl at roof. In short, the chimney must always end in an area with
a negative air pressure. Contact your local chimney sweep for the exact dimensions
of the chimney opening.
