3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1. FITTING THE FIREPLACE
When fi tting one of these fi tted fi res 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.
If the chimney serves more than one fi tted fi re, the door must be self-closing
(pursuant to Bauart 1).
3.2. CHIMNEY
If no chimney is immediately available, have one fi tted by a recognised specialist
only. The chimney must be compliant with local regulations and is particularly
important because it has a signifi cant bearing on the function of the appliance.
Basic rules:
Ÿ A chimney for an open fi re is not, by defi 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.
Ÿ The chimney opening must be at least 5 metres above the top of the door
opening of your appliance.
Ÿ
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, it must not be under tension. Contact
your local chimney sweep for the exact dimensions of the chimney opening.
Ÿ
The internal diameter must not be less than that of the appliance at any point
(even at the end of the pipe).
Ÿ Avoid kinks at all costs. The maximum deviation from the perpendicular is 45°.
Ÿ Both the dimensions and the construction must meet stringent construction
standards. Your recognised specialist will be pleased to assist.
Ÿ Contact your fi re insurer to make sure that your policy is in order.
