How to use your Norsk Kleber Soapstone Stove
Ventilation of the room
The stove needs air (oxygen) to achieve good
combustion. The air is supplied from the room where
the stove is, or connected in a closed system. The air
enters through the 4.5 inch hole in at the back of the
stove. In case of insufficient ventilation, combustion
becomes incomplete, so that toxic gases can enter the
room.
Extra ventilation is required if the stove is in a
well-insulated room, or in rooms with mechanical
ventilation, eg. central exhaust system or extractor fan
in an open kitchen. Additional ventilation is achieved
by installing a ventilation grill in the outer wall.
Make sure that other equipment that uses air (for
example: kitchen fan or bathroom fan) has its own
connection to fresh air or is switched off when firing
with the stove. The stove can also be connected to fresh
air supply in a closed system. When using such a set,
extra ventilation is not required.
Supply of combustion air
The combustion air for the combustion chamber can
be supplied directly or indirectly to the stove. In most
cases the stove works great with indirect supply from
wall valves in the outer wall. In newer more airtight
houses, it may be necessary to supply the combustion
air directly into the combustion chamber.
If the combustion air is to be supplied as described
above, this must be prepared before the stove is
mounted to the chimney. The supply air duct must be
insulated so that condensation does not occur.
The air supply pipe has a diameter of 4 inches. If a
straight pipe is used it can have a maximum length of
39 feet. If there are bends in the pipe, count each bend
as 3 feet and subtract the total from 39 feet.
Floors and walls
•
The floor on which the stove is mounted must
have sufficient carrying capacity. Most standard
floors can withstand stoves up to 950 lb. If you
are in doubt, please contact a specialist.
•
Provide sufficient distance between the stove and
combustible material such as wooden walls and
furniture. See the Safety Label for recommended
distances.
•
The connection pipe to the chimney also radiates
heat. The minimum distance requirement
from an un-insulated flue pipe to combustible
material, is 12 inches.
•
A blanket must be at least 32 inches from the
fire.
Fuel
Use only natural cut and split wood that is
sufficiently dried. Do not use other fuels as this
may cause serious damage to the stove. It may also
pollute the environment and/or cause a soot fire.
