POSITIONING THE FURNACE
We recommend taking the furnace out of its packaging only after it has reached the location of installation.
The furnace stands on plastic supports that have built-in M 10 (4 pieces) screws, which are attached to the base
of the furnace. M 10 mm nuts are bolted on the screws, reaching the plastic parts. The supports are screwed in
place at the base of the furnace. After removing the packaging and transporting to your desired location, the
supports have to be unscrewed to match the total height between the ground and the base of the furnace or a
distance of 25 mm between the supports and the base of the furnace. After completing the process (the
furnace should be level), tighten the nuts with an n.17 key. The nuts should fit under the base; hold the plastic
part of the support and simultaneously tighten the nuts.
The distance between the ground and the base of the furnace should be 25 mm as to provide enough space for
air flow and better cooling. In doing so, the furnace won't overheat and its lifetime will increase.
If the adjacent walls and/or floor are not
heat-resistant
, adequate protection using heat-resistant insulation
material should be provided.
Always ensure a safe distance (approx. 35 to 40 cm) between the furnace and furniture, household appliances,
etc. For floor protection (if not heat-resistant), we suggest using a 3 to 4 mm thick metal plate that extends 30
cm from underneath the front of the furnace.
The distance between the furnace and the adjacent walls must be at least 25 cm
. Always leave at least 15 cm
of space between the back plate of the furnace and the wall, as to ensure proper air circulation.
If the furnace is installed in a kitchen with air conduit bars or spaces with heat generators using solid fuels (ex.
wood-fired furnace), always ensure enough air (in the kitchen or space) for safe furnace operation.
If the exhaust system is installed through the ceiling, it needs to be adequately treated with heat-resistant
insulation. After the furnace is positioned into place, it needs to be adjusted with the adjustable supports.
WARNING
The housing of the exhaust system
MUST NOT BE
attached to or connected to:
-
a chimney tube that is already used by another heat generator (boiler, furnace, fireplace, stove, etc.);
-
an air conduit system (bars, ventilation shafts, etc.), even if the system is connected to a tube exhaust.
WARNING
It is forbidden to install valves for closing air flow (lids, valves that may prevent air circulation or completely
stop ventilation).
WARNING
The exhaust system of the furnace works on the basis of negative pressure and low exhaust system pressure. It
is extremely important that the exhaust system be hermetically closed. This requires the usage of smooth
tubes inside the system.
It is also extremely important to carefully analyse the plan and structure of the space (room) when installing
the exhaust system pipe into the walls and roof. This should be done according to fire safety standards.
