11. INSTALLATION
The stove must be connected with a junction to the existing flue. The junction must be, if
possible, straight, horizontal or positioned a little uphill. The connections must be tight.
It is
obligatory to respect the National and European rules, local regulations concerning
building matter and also fireproof rules. Please apply to your chimney sweeper for
all information.
You should provide sufficient air entrance for the combustion in the installation place. The
siameter of the opening for the connection must correspond at least to the diameter of the
smokes pipe (Ø120 mm). The opening must be equipped with a wall connection for the
reception of the exhaust pipe.
Before installation, verify if your floor can support the weight of the stove.
The manufacturer is not responsible in case of modification of the product and for
the use of not original spare parts.
12. FIRE SAFETY
In the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:
a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance
from objects or furnishing components flammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wood,
sheathing, fabrics etc.) and from materials with flammable structure.
All the minimum
safety distances are shown on the product data plate and lower values must NOT
be used.
b) In front of the chimney stove there must not be any flammable object or building
material, sensitive to heat, at less than
100 cm distance
.
c) If the product is installed on a non totally refractory floor, one must foresee a fireproof
background, for example a steel platform dimensions according to the local regulations.
The platform must stick out
30 cm
sideways and
50 cm
on the front side over the loading
door.
d) No flammable components must be present above the product.
The chimney stove must operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid
residue of the combustion (ashes) must be collected in a hermetic container, resistant to
fire. The stove must never be ignited when there are gas or steam emissions (e.g. glue for
linoleum, gasoline, etc.). Never deposit flammable materials near the stove. During the
combustion will be spread thermal energy which warms up the surfaces, the door, the
fireplace glass, the handles and knobs, the smoke pipe and the front side of the stove.
