5. INSTALLING THE STOVE

General information

Note

Only use heat-resistant sealing materials as well as corresponding sealing 

strips, heat-resistant silicon and rock wool.

Note

Assembly may only be performed by authorised specialist companies.

Note

Also take care that the flue does not project into the free cross-section of 

the chimney.

Note

Please observe the regional safety and building regulations. Please contact 

your master chimney sweep in this context.

Note

Your stove is intended for room-air independent operation. Thus the stove 

pipe connections must be tightly sealed permanently for this use. Use a heat-

proof silicon to position the stove pipe on the conical supports of the flue tube 

nozzles and for insertion in the chimney flue lining.

Note

The stove should not be pushed on unprotected floors.

Tip

Strong corrugated cardboard, cardboard or e.g. old carpet is useful to assist 

assembly and as a base. The stove can also be pushed on this cardboard 

or carpet.

We recommend original flue pipes from RIKA for proper connection.

Connection to the chimney

 

Q

The device must be connected to an approved chimney for solid fuels.

The chimney must have a diameter of min. 100mm for pellet stoves and  

130mm -150mm for log wood stoves depending on the diameter of the 

flue pipes.

 

Q

Avoid long flue pipes to the chimney. The horizontal length of the flue pipe 

should not exceed 1.5 m.

 

Q

Avoid to many bends of the flue gas pipes. There should not be more than 

3 bends in the exhaust pipe.

 

Q

If you just can not connect directly to the chimney, please use a connection 

with a cleaning opening.

 

Q

Connections must be made of metal and must meet the requirements of the 

standard (install the connections airtight).

 

Q

Before installing a chimney calculation must be made. The evidence must be 

performed for single occupancy to EN13384-1 and EN13384-2 for multiple 

occupancy.

 

Q

The maximum draft of the chimney should not exceed 15Pa.

 

Q

The derivation of the flue gases must be guaranteed even during a temporary 

power outage.

Note

If connecting to multiple connection chimneys additional safety equipment is 

required. Your local chimney sweep will advise you in this case.

Connecting to a steel chimney

The connection must be calculated and shown with EN13384-1 

 

and EN13384-2. 

Use only insulated (double) stainless steel tubes (flexible aluminum or steel 

tubes are not permitted).

An inspection door for regular inspection and cleaning must be present.

The flue pipe connection to the chimney has to be air-tight.

Combustion air

Every combustion process requires oxygen from the surrounding air. This so-

called combustion air is removed from the living are in the case of individual 

stoves without external air connections.

This air removed must be replaced in the living space. Very tightly sealed 

windows and doors in modern flats may mean that too little air replaces that 

used. The situation also becomes problematical due to additional venting in 

flats (e.g. in the kitchen or WC). If you cannot feed in external combustion air, 

then air the room several times a day to prevent negativce pressure in the room 

or poor combustion.

Note

Please note that problems may arise due to updrafts in the case of 

combustion air supply from an integrated chimney ventilation shaft. If the 

combustion air flowing downwards is heated it may rise and thus counter 

the chimney with a resistance which in turn reduces the negative pressure 

in the combustion chamber. The chimney manufacturer is to guarantee that 

the resistance for the combustion air is a maximum 2 Pa even in the least 

favourable operating state of the chimney.

Feeding in external combustion air

only for devices which are able to run in room-air independent operation.

 

Q

Combustion air must be fed to the stove from outside via a sealed pipe 

for operation independent of the room air. According to EnEV, it must be 

possible to shut off the combustion air pipe. The open/closed setting must 

be clearly recognisable.

 

Q

Cut the perforated rear wall out with a hacksaw.

 

Q

Connect at the air intake either a pipe Ø125mm (log wood and combi 

stoves) or Ø50mm (pellet stoves) and fix it with a hose clamp (not included!). 

At pellet stoves with longer intake pipes than 1m the diameter should be 

increased to 100mm. (see RIKA range).

 

Q

To ensure sufficient air intake, the intake pipe should not exceed max. 4m 

and have max. 3 bends. 

 

Q

If the line leads outside it must have a windbreak.

 

Q

In extreme cold pay attention to icing on the air intake opening (check).

 

Q

It is also possible to suction in combustion air directly from another 

sufficiently vented room (e.g. cellar).

 

Q

The combustion air pipe must be tightly connected (adhesive or cement) 

permanently to the air nozzles of the stove.

 

Q

If you do not use the stove for a long time, please close the combustion air 

intake to prevent the stove from moisture. 

If one or more of these conditions does NOT apply, the result is poor combustion in the 

stove and negative pressure in the installation room.
