Installation instructions
3 INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTRUCTIONS
When fi tting one of these appliances 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 fi re is to be fi tted in a home with walls and/or fl oors
containing fl ammable material.
The connection of several appliances to a single fl ue/chimney is not allowed.
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 be-
cause it has a signifi cant bearing on the function of the appliance.
Basic rules:
• A chimney for an open appliance 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.
• 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.
• 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°.
Never use more than 2 bends.
• Both the dimensions and the construction must meet stringent construction
standards. Your recognised specialist will be pleased to assist.
• Contact your fi re insurer to make sure that your policy is in order.
