10.3 SECONDARY air control
Over the door of the hearth there is the secondary air control, which, moved in horizontal direction,
regulates secondary air. When the valve is open (the handle moved to the right) it enables a better
wood combustion. Through this regulator, it is possible to adjust the desired combustion course of
the stove.
Leaving the regulator slightly open during the stove operation keeps the glass clean.
11. INSTALLATION
The stove must be connected with a junction to the adequate flue. The junction must be, if possible,
short, straight, or positioned a little uphill. The connections must be tight. It is obligatory to
respect the National and European rules, local regulations concerning building matter and
also fire protection rules. Please apply to your chimney sweeper for all information.
You should provide sufficient air entrance for the combustion in the installation place. The diameter
of the opening for the connection must correspond at least to the diameter of the smokes pipe (Ø152
mm..(6”)). The opening must be equipped with a wall connection for the reception of the exhaust
pipe.
Before installation, verify if your floor can support the weight of the stove, and in case that the
bearing capacity of the floor is insufficient perform measures for increasing the capacity.
The manufacturer is not responsible in case of modification of the product and for the use of
not original spare parts.
12. FIRE SAFETY
In the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:
a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects
or furnishing components flammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wooden objects, fabrics etc.)
and from materials with flammable structure. All the minimum safety distances are shown on the
product data plate and lower values must NOT be used.
b) In front of the chimney stove there must not be any flammable object or building material,
sensitive to heat, at less than 100 cm(40”) distance. If the stove is installed on a foundation made
of flammable materials, the foundation must be covered with fireproof plates.
c) If the product is installed on a floor which is not completely fire resistant, one must foresee a
fireproof background, for example a steel platform dimensions according to the local regulations.
