Installation instructions
3 INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTRUCTIONS
When ! tting one of these appliances local and/or national regulations relating to ! re
safety must be followed. In case of doubt, consult the ! re safety department of the local
! re brigade, particularly if the ! re is to be ! tted in a home with walls and/or " oors
containing " ammable material.
The connection of several appliances to a single " ue/chimney is not allowed.
3.2 CHIMNEY
If no chimney is immediately available, have one ! tted by a recognised specialist only.
The chimney must be compliant with local regulations and is particularly important be-
cause it has a signi! cant bearing on the function of the appliance.
Basic rules:
• A chimney for an open appliance is not, by de! nition, suitable for a closable model
(i.e. an appliance with doors). As a closed appliance draws in much less (cold) air,
the smoke is hotter. Please have your chimney inspected to see whether it is suitable
for a closable appliance.
• 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 " 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.
• The internal diameter must not be less than that of the appliance at any point (even
at the end of the pipe).
• Avoid bends at all costs. The maximum deviation from the perpendicular is 45°.
• Both the dimensions and the construction must meet stringent construction
standards. Your recognised specialist will be pleased to assist.
• Contact your ! re insurer to make sure that your policy is in order.
