INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS
•
Always comply with the rules applicable in the country of installation. In France the combustion product evacuation system must be built
in compliance with DTU 24.1 of February 2006.
•
First of all, make sure the chimney flue is of good quality. It plays an essential role. It will have an impact on the final result by supplying
the firebox with primary air and extracting the combustion gases.
Most inconveniences you may experience when using the wood burner are linked to the chimney flue. We cannot insist enough on this point....
You should not content yourself with the results obtained by a previous appliance of which the air supply requirements might have been very
different.
•
A good chimney must be built from low heat conductivity materials and should not cool easily.
•
The minimum flue diameter for closed-door operation can be 150 mm on condition that the sizing of the smoke flue as per the EN 13384.1
standard authorises this size. Whenever possible, we recommend the use of a flue with an interior diameter of 180 mm.
•
Any reduction of this size, even at the exit, should not be tolerated as it could reduce the flow of smoke leading to smoke blowing back
into the room when the door is opened.
•
The chimney must start in the room the appliance is installed in.
•
Back-draft dampers are prohibited.
•
The flue must be perfectly sealed.
•
The connecting flue and the chimney flue or lining used must have a G rating (meaning they can withstand chimney fires). The appliances
must be connected to flues rated at 50°C more than the appliance’s declared temperature, however they are connected.
•
The height must not be less than 5 metres and it must exit to the open air at least 0.40 m above the roof ridge or any other obstacle located
at less than 8 metres from the flue.
•
Any eventual bends must be very covered.
•
The draft must be between 12 and 15 pascals for normal settings and should drop to about 5 pascals with a reduced air supply. It should
never drop below 12 pascals at a normal setting as this would give mediocre performances.
If the pressure difference is too big, plan to install a draft regulator. If there is not enough pressure difference, comply with the flue
specifications in this section.
•
If the flue cross section is oversized, the volume to heat is too big and the draft does not appear normally. In this case, plan to line the flue
using a wood/coal approved product.
All lining must be compliant with DTU 24.1 (in France). Its sizing follows precise calculation rules (EN 13384.1 standard) that only a
professional is trained to define.
•
Remove chimney pots that have an output cross section of less than 2.5 dm
2
.
•
It is recommended to have a chimney sweeping hatch located at about 50 cm above the axis of the connecting flue.
•
Before considering connecting, make sure the flue is perfectly clean. If necessary, have the chimney swept.
•
The appliances must be installed in compliance with the applicable D.T.U. specifications (in France), installation by a qualified
professional is recommended. All local and national regulations must be complied with.
•
Extractors used in the same room, or in the same space, as the appliance can have a dangerous disrupting effect on its operation.
•
The simultaneous use of other appliances in the same space as this appliance may disrupt the stack effect.
•
Never obstruct the air intakes in the room. Place them so that they are difficult to block. The appliance uses air it takes from the room, so
the air supply must have a sufficient contribution from outside.
•
These appliances are not designed to be connected to a multiple flue.
•
The nozzle is fitted in the factory and fixed at the back (if back connection is possible). You can connect directly to the flue using a
horizontal pipe. You can also connect to the top. In this case switch the nozzle and the stopper.
IMPORTANT:
•
Check that the floor has a sufficient load bearing capacity. If necessary, place a load distribution plate, or take all other necessary
appropriate measures.
•
If the flooring is composed of flammable materials, it must be suitably protected using a fireproof plate that extends beyond the
front of the appliance by at least 40 cm.
•
Use pipes of the correct diameter, preferably enamelled, as their resistance to corrosion is remarkable. Their length must be as short as
possible so that the heat of the smoke is used to create the draft.
•
The back wall must not have any flammable elements. If this is not the case, it must be effectively protected (use of Mo or A2-s1-do
materials). A safety distance from flammable materials at the back of 45 cm must be implemented.
•
The walls on the left or right of the appliance must be distant from the appliance by at least 50 cm if composed of flammable materials.
•
In the case of a traditional wood burner, the ceiling must be at least 80 cm above the appliance.
•
The appliance radiates heat naturally and we recommend moving any flammable material (wooden chairs, sofas, etc.) in front of the
appliance to a distance of at least 150 cm.
