Pay attention to the following before and during installation:
In the first step, the location and the way of connection of the purchased appli-
ance has to be chosen with consideration of the safety instructions.
The chimney must be suitable for operating the fireplace.
Installation and usage of fireplaces must be reported to a competent chimney
sweep or another competent expert. Applying the local regulations a chimney
sweep/competent expert has to issue a written authorization to use the stove.
Make sure you get a record of the receipt.
Examination of the chimney happens according to the local rules which are
usually national or European standards.
The local rules should be taken into consideration during the installation of the
connecting pipe as well. These are usually national or European standards.
Necessary air supply for proper burning has to be ensured. In hermetically insu-
lated rooms a separate air inlet pipe is needed to guarantee a sufficient supply
of air for the operation of the fireplace. It is also necessary in the case of rooms
with forced aeration system (e.g. an extractor fan)
If it is possible, a solution must be found for turning off these appliances. Some
FIREPLACE stoves have an optional connection for an outside air inlet.
Use of fireplace stoves in buildings with hermetic insulation and mechanical air-
ing systems is only allowed under certain conditions. Authorization of the stove
as "independent of the air in the room" and insulated air inlet from outside are
among these conditions. It is important to consult a competent chimney sweep
/ expert regarding this matter.
Choose a location for the fireplace close to the chimney to prevent the use of a
long horizontal connecting pipe.
The location of installation has to be flat and level.
Make sure that the floor has the necessary load-bearing capacity. The weight
of the appliance can be found on the attached technical data sheet. In case the
load-bearing capacity of the floor is too low, usage of a plate for better load dis-
tribution might help. If the problem exists you should seek professional help.
