lation of the wood-burning stove.
Installation
General information
When installing your WIKING wood-burning stove, you must ensure that all local regulations, including
those referring to national and European standards, are observed. It is always a good idea to consult a
chimney sweep before installing your stove, as it is he/she who must ultimately approve the installation.
Always follow the instructions of the manual carefully and make sure that the installation is carried out by
a qualified professional.
WIKING packaging material should always be handled in accordance with the local rules for waste hand-
ling.
Room requirements
It must always be possible to deliver fresh combustion air to the room in which the wood-burning stove is
to be installed. A window that can be opened or an adjustable air valve is considered to be sufficient. The
adjustable air valve/air grate must not be blocked. In the table below you can see the minimum distance
to the closest combustible and non-combustible walls.

Please be aware that not all glass parts are heat-resistant. For this reason, a glass wall should sometimes
be treated as a flammable wall, in which case we ask that you please contact your local chimney sweep
or glass producer to hear at what distance the stove should be kept from glass.
Installation requirements
If the wood-burning stove is to be placed on a floor made of combustible material, the area around the
stove must be covered with a non-combustible material. The floor construction must also be able to
withstand the weight of the stove and the chimney. The chimney’s weight must be calculated in relation to
dimension and height. In the table below you’ll find important information about your wood-burning stove.
