Operating instructions
General requirements
Please note that national and local provisions must be satisfied when installing the
BRULA basic stove firebox.
Please consult your competent district master chimney sweep about this prior to
installation.
He will advise you on the suitable chimney as well as all other requirements which
are of relevance for the setup and commissioning of your basic stove. A sufficient
combustion air supply must be ensured in particular, especially with a well sealed
building shell, flat ventilation systems etc. in order to guarantee smooth operation.
Your chimney sweep will be able to help here too. He will also check that the
fireplace has been connected properly.
The basic stove firebox described here is tested in accordance with EN 13229:2005-
10 taking into account the agreement as per Art. 15a B-VG (since 01.01.2015 in
Austria only nominal load operation is permitted!).
It may be attached to a chimney with multiple connections provided that the
chimney's technical conditions allow this.
If the basic stove is attached to a chimney with multiple connections, the heating door
used must be self-closing. This ensures that the door closes automatically after
adding more fuel and thus the supply pressure of the chimney is not affected.
Installation site / fire protection regulations
When setting up the small basic stove, the valid fire protection regulations of the
German Fire Code Ordinance (FeuVo) must be observed. The specified minimum
distances to combustible objects and walls must be maintained and the flooring must
also be protected.
Note on setting up the fireplace only on surfaces with a sufficient load bearing
capacity. If the load bearing capacity is not sufficient, suitable measures must be
taken (e.g., plate for load distribution) to remedy this.
Caution:
Thermal insulation / insulation design must be realised as per the specialist
regulations of the stove and air heating construction trade (TROL) and the country-
specific provisions.
