3 Installing the stove
Precautions
Installation of the stove must be carried out by qualified personnel.
The stove must only be installed in a suitable room, the room must:
•
Comply with the operating and environmental conditions (described in this
manual).
•
Be supplied with electricity (230V 50 Hz (73/23/EEC))
•
A properly installed ground/earth connection is necessary.
•
Be equipped with a chimney flue or vertical indoor or outdoor flue.
•
Be provided with earthing, in accordance with EU standards.
Combustion of the pellets in the pellet stove produces flue gases. To
discharge these flue gases, the stove must always be connected to a flue or a
vertical indoor or outdoor flue. These flue gases are barely visible, but can become
very hot. Therefore, avoid contact with the flue gases.
Stove location
The position of the stove depends on the space and the possibility of chimney/flue
installation. Consult the local authorities about the local rules for stove installation
with regard to the chimney/flue pipe and other regulations laid down in this regard.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the installation does not comply with
current legislation.
For proper cooling of the stove, proper distribution of heat from the stove and to
promote fire safety, distances from other objects must be taken into account. See
chapter 9 for exact dimensions, this varies for each stove. The stove must also be
positioned in such a way that there is a good possibility to clean and maintain the
stove and flue pipes.
The stove
should be installed on a flat part of the floor.
It can also be levelled
using the special feet supplied with the stove. Make sure the stove is level and has no
slope. This can lead to strange behaviour during combustion and a poor connection
to the flue.
It is not permitted to place the stove in a bedroom, in a bathroom, in a shower,
in a room where there is a risk of explosion or outdoors. The stove should also
not be placed on a floor that does not seem suitable to support the weight of the
stove. If the stove is located on a combustible surface, there should be a fireproof
sheet of steel or glass under the stove.
