Installation

Conditions
3.1.1.
Ventilation
In the combustion process stoves absorb air from the surroundings. To allow a correct natural draught
and users comfort make sure that sufficient amount of air is available in the room where installation is
considered.
Especially in highly insulated rooms make sure that the amount of air is sufficient for correct combustion
and that the room remains properly ventilated.
In rooms equipped with mechanical ventilation an outside air intake (around 50 cm2) has to be installed in
the chimney.
Before installation the chimney´s condition has to be verified. The chimney has to be clean and inspected
for leaks and sufficient draught. Make sure that the flue is not shared with any other appliance.
3.1.2.
Localization
Cast iron stoves emit heat by radiation of cast iron parts. To provide an optimal heat distribution a central
location is recommended. Due to high temperature of the cast iron make sure that the appliance is
protected from children.
3.1.3.
Walls and floors
Before installation make sure that floors and walls are not combustible or covered with combustible
materials (i.e. tapestry, carpets, panels, plastic surfaces).
