1. ASSEMBLY
1.1 Building regulations
Your stove is designed for heating of living rooms as supplementary heating or
for heating during the transitional heating up period. The device is not suitable
as the unique form of heating for apartments or entire floors. We recommend
that before installation of your wood stove you talk with your district chimney
sweep. He can advise you on the relevant building regulations, examine the
chimney, grant the authorisation and arrange for the approval. Check whether
the room in which the wood stove is to be installed is adequately supplied with
fresh air. To ensure trouble-free operation of your stove, an adequate supply of
combustion air is required from the living room. The stove may not be modified.
1.2 Combustion air supply:
The arrangements for a combustion air supply may not be modified. In
particular, it must be ensured that the required combustion air pipes are open
during operation of the wood stove.
For this reason, if you have the intention to seal windows and doors with
special sealing you should obtain professional advice. Your contact in this case
is the chimney sweep, plumber, heating engineer or your energy supplier.
These professionals can tell you what must be done.
1.3 Chimney
The performance of your wood stove also depends on your chimney. It can be
affected by the cross-section of the chimney or by an effective chimney height
of less than 4.50 m. The effective chimney height is the distance between the
flue gas entry and the upper edge of the chimney.
Cooker hoods, which are installed in the same room or contiguous air
area as the wood stove may adversely affect the functioning of the
wood stove (up to the smoke outlet in the living room despite a closed
fire box door) and must, therefore, in no case be operated simultane-
ously with the stove.
In the case of sealed windows and doors (e.g. as part of energy-saving
measures), it may be that the fresh air supply can no longer be guaran-
teed thus affecting the functioning of your stove. This can negatively
affect your wellbeing and your safety under certain circumstances.
