2 Installation instructions
2.1 Warning to the user
All the local and national regulations, and in
particular those relating to national and European
standards, must be observed when installing the
appliance.
An incorrectly installed heating appliance can
cause serious accidents
(chimney fires, burning of
plastic insulation materials, in partition walls, etc.).
The insulation of both the appliance and the
exhaust gas pipe has to be reinforced
and done
according to the Standards and the Building
Regulations for safety reasons. The installation must be
carried out according to the Standards and the Building
Regulations.
Failure to respect the mounting instructions leads to
engage the responsibility of the one doing the
installation.
The manufacturer’s responsibility shall be limited to the
supply of the appliance.
2.2 Location of the unit
Ventilation :
For satisfactory appliance operation with
a
natural draught
, check that sufficient air for
combustion is available in the room. In houses
equipped with one VMC (controlled mechanical
ventilation), this one aspire and renew the ambient air;
in this case, the residence is under slight low pressure
and a
non-sealable
external air intake must be
installed in addition to the chimney itself, at least 50cm²
in section.
Position of the unit :
For new installations, select a
central position within the house, to provide a good heat
distribution around the building. The heat distribution
towards the other rooms will be made through the
communicating doors. These rooms must be at low
pressure or fitted with
non-adjustable air registers,
placed so that they cannot be obstructed
, to
encourage circulation of the hot air.
Floor and walls :
Make sure there are not combustible
or covered with combustible material. Otherwise it must
necessary to install a non-combustible protection.
There must be a clearance of at least 150 mm at each
side of the appliance and at the back of the appliance
from a non-combustible wall. This distance must be
extended to a minimum clearance of 400 mm from any
combustible materials.
This measurement may be reduced to a minimum gap
of 50 mm when the non-combustible wall is at least
200 mm thick.
There should ideally be a minimum gap of 300 mm at
the right hand side of the stove, this will ensure the best
possible access to the loading door. When using a
single wall flue pipe, there must be a clearance (A) of at
least three times its diameter (B) from any combustible
materials. If the appliance has to be located in an
opening, this distance must be extended to a minimum
clearance (A) of 450 mm from the pipe or the stove body
to any combustible materials.
Hearth :
The appliance must stand on a fireproof hearth.
It is possible to provide a hearth made of non
combusible board/sheet material or tiles at least 12 mm
thick (C).
Constructional hearths should be constructed of solid
non combustible material at least 125 mm thick
(including the thickness of any non combustible floor
under the hearth).
