INSTALLATION

 

OF

 

THE

 

STOVE

  

4.1

 

Instructions

  

 
Beware of the sharp edges of the stainless steel mesh frame. Use a long‐sleeved shirt and 
protective gloves during the installation and piling of the stones. Take into account all local, 
national and Europe‐wide regulations while installing the stove. The stove should not be installed 
to a divided chimney.  
 
1.

 

Place the furnace on a sturdy and non‐flammable base in the middle of the planned 
installation spot 

according to the required safety distances to inflammable surfaces, (page 

9).

 

2.

 

The stove should be installed on concrete or stone floor otherwise it requires a metallic 
insulating panel. The stove must not be installed on water‐insulated or heated floor without 
an insulating panel.  

3.

 

Remove the protective plastic covering. 

 

4.

 

Ensure that the furnace is levelled and the exhaust pipe fits the chimney connection pipe. Use 
the adjustable legs to level the stove if needed.   

5.

 

Pile stones to the lower part of the mesh frame one by one. Olivine, olivine‐dolerite and 
peridotite stones are recommended, in sizes smaller than 10 cm in diameter.

 

The stones 

should not be placed too tightly together allowing for free airflow. Take care to cover all 
the metal parts of the stove. 

Note 

that the use of soapstone and natural stones is allowed 

only on the outer edges and on the top of the heater.

 

6.

 

Set the looped exhaust pipe in place on top of the furnace (image 1).  

7.

 

Attach the upper mesh frame so that the top frame fits inside the lower frame (image 2) 
(excluding the KIVI‐IKI Jr.). 

8.

 

Set the exhaust pipe to the flue connection. 

9.

 

Fill the upper mesh frame with stones (excluding the KIVI‐IKI Jr.). 

10.

 

Attach the glass hatch to the front of the furnace. The front of the furnace has holes for the 
bolts to go in (image 3) Use the nuts to fix the bolts from the inside of the hatch (image 4). 

11.

 

Put the grate and ash box in place (image 5).
