Manufacturer’s declaration
This product has been manufactured in
accordance with the documents that
constitute the basis for product certification
wherein the installation- and maintenance
instructions are integrated.
General information
VIKING 30 is manufactured of sturdy cast
iron. The fireplace is covered with vermiculite
bricks. There is an air gap left between the
vermiculite cover and the sturdy cast iron side
walls. The oval holes in the vermiculite bricks
ensure good ventilation and prevent the side
walls from being overheated. Thanks to the
heat storing materials, the heat retention lasts
for hours after the fire has gone out. The
fireplace door is provided with a window
made of hardened ceramic glass, through
which you have a good view of the fire. The
tight doors and the supply of specific air to
the fireplace provide for a maximum of
heating effect and a minimum of wood
consumption. Secondary air is being added
to the fire through the holes in the
vermiculite side walls. By keeping the fireplace
door slightly open during the lighting
process, primary air is being added to the fire.
Viking 30 is equipped a removable cooking
plate. and with a fresh air inlet, handled with
a screw at the front below the bottom door.
It may be necessary for you to apply for
building permission from your local planning
authority before installing a stove or erecting
a chimney. Check with your planning
authority which regulations apply.
Before the stove is used, it must be inspected
by an authorized chimney sweep or relevant
authority to verify that the installation is
proper made according to the installation
instructions and that the connection to the
chimney is tight.
This inspection must be carried out before
using the stove disrespectable of if it refers to
a connection to an existing or to a new
chimney. Please read the installation
instructions thoroughly before starting the
installation work.
Chimney
The diameter of the chimney flue must be
minimum 125mm, and have a
recommended shortest length of minimum
3,5m, measured from the connection point at
the stove. The stove designed for rear
connection comes with a flue connection
tube to be connected to the brick-lined
chimney using mortar. Apply the enclosed
stove cement inside the flue connection and
also inside the stainless adaptor tube. Then
press the adaptor tube on to the connection
tube of the stove. The stove is now ready to
be connected to the brick-lined chimney.

Please see the enclosed drawing on page 6.
Structural support
Normally, a kitchen stove and a (light-weight)
chimney can be located on standard
wooden floor joists in a single-family house.
Viking 30 is approved to be installed without
a floor plate underneath the stove itself, as
the base plate of Viking 30 forms a part of the
floor plate. The floor plate in front of the stove
must fit tight to the base/bottom part of the
stove and must cover a minimum of 30 cm in
front of the doors and a minimum of 10 cm
of each side. Floor plates are available as
accessories.
Air of combustion
The air consumed for the combustion,
approximately 10-20m³ per hour, is
considered to be negligible. In houses with
mechanical ventilation and in good isolated
houses, however, it is recommended to place
the stove close to a valve placed in an
external wall. The combustion air can also be
supplied from outside by connecting fresh air
supply on the rear side of the stove.
Please study these instructions carefully
before starting to use your stove and
remember that the installation has to be
approved by the chimney sweep before you
are allowed to use the stove.
