Installation instructions
Warning for the user
All the regulations local and national, including those that are reference at standards national
and European must be observed when installing the appliance.
An incorrectly installed heating appliance can cause serious accidents
(chimney fires,
burning of plastic insulation materials, in partition walls, etc.).
The insulation of both the appliance and the exhaust gas pipe has to be reinforced
and done
according to the Standards and the Building Regulations for safety reasons.
Failure to respect the mounting instructions leads to engage the responsibility of the one doing the
installation.
The manufacturer’s responsibility shall be limited to the supply of the equipment.
The room
Ventilation
For satisfactory appliance operation with a natural draught, check that sufficient air for
combustion is available in the room.
In houses equipped with one CMV (Controlled Mechanical Ventilation), this one aspire
and renew the ambient air; In this case, the residence is under slight low pressure and a
non-sealable external air intake must be installed in addition to the chimney itself, at least 50 cm² in
section.
If the outside air inlet is connected to the appliance, it is not necessary to foreseen additional air inlets
in the room, the stove becoming fully “airtight".
Position of the device
For new installations, select a central position within the house, to provide a good heat distribution
around the building.
The heat distribution towards the other rooms will be made through the communicating doors.
These rooms must be in negative pressure or must include ventilation gratings.
Floor and walls
Check the floor is able to support the total weight of the appliance and, if it is not the
case, re-enforce it by a clevis in concrete to spread this load.
Make sure there are not combustible or covered with combustible material.
Otherwise it must necessary to install a non-combustible protection.
The appliance must stand on a fi reproof hearth.
It is possible to provide a hearth made of non-combustible board/sheet material or tiles at least 12
mm thick.
Constructional hearths should be constructed of solid non-combustible material at least 125 mm
thick (including the thickness of any non-combustible floor under the hearth).
The hearth must protrude at least 400 mm in front of the stove and 150 mm each side.
If the hearth is constructed on timber, there must be a clearance of at least 250 mm from the timber
to the top surface of the hearth.
When using a single wall flue pipe, there must be a clearance (A) of at least 4
0
0 mm from any
combustible materials (timber mantel, girder).
