Structural support
Check to determine whether the floor construction is strong
enough to support the stove and chimney you wish to install.
This is especially important if the stove is to stand on a
wooden floor construction. Provided the total weight does not
exceed 400 kilos, it is not normally necessary to provide any
extra reinforcement for wooden floor joists. However, always
consult a qualified builder for advice.
Floor-plate
To protect the floor from falling embers the stove must
always stand on a non-combustible surface. If the floor
is made of a combustible material, it must be protected by
a non-combustible covering that extends at least 300 mm
in front of the stove and 100 mm along each side. As other
national or local requirements may also apply, we advise you
always to check with a chimney sweep or the relevant local
authority department before installing the stove.
Chimney
The draught in the chimney must produce a negative pressure
of at least 12 Pa. The main factors affecting the draught are
the length and cross-sectional area of the chimney, but the
force of the draught also depends on how well sealed the
construction is. The shortest recommended chimney length is
3.5 metres. The cross-sectional area of the chimney should be
within the range 150–200 cm² (140–160 mm in diameter).
Make sure that the chimney is well sealed and that there are
no gaps around soot hatches and flue-pipe connections.
Remember that the draught is reduced in flues with sharp
bends or horizontal sections. A horizontal flue length of up to
1.0 metre is permissible, provided that the vertical flue is at
least 5.0 metres in height.
It must be possible to clean the flue throughout its entire
length, and the soot hatches must be easily accessible.
General information
This folder contains assembly and installation instructions
for Handöl 24 stoves. You will also have received separate
Lighting and Operating Instructions with your stove. We
recommend that you read these carefully before lighting a
fire for the first time, and keep them safe for future reference.
This stove has been type-approved for connection to a
chimney which can withstand flue gas temperatures of up to
350°C. The external diameter of the connecting sleeve is 150
mm.
Sufficient air must be supplied to the stove from outdoors to
ensure proper combustion.

It may be necessary for you to apply for building permission
from your local planning authority before installing a
wood-burning stove or erecting a chimney. Before starting
installation work, we recommend that you contact the
relevant authority to check which regulations apply.
