Before first commissioning or after changing the
location of the fire, cleaning and service work,
ensure that the flue plate (Page 4-5, Part 25) is in
the correct position. When using a flue pipe with
throttle valve, the throttle valve must be open.
When using this stove you must ensure that the
chimney draught reaches at least the minimum
recommended value of 10 Pa and does not exceed the
maximum value of 30 Pa.
If there are problems in this respect, contact your
chimney sweep.
CONNECTING THE FIRE
Proceed as follows when fitting a connection to a
bricked chimney:
1. Measure and draw in the chimney connection
(taking a possible floor plate thickness into account)
as per the natural dimension
2. Chisel out (drill) the holes in the wall
3. Brick in wall lining
First seal the wall lining using mineral wool insulation.
Afterwards plaster using heat resistant cement mortar
or equivalent.
4. After the mortar has hardened, and after
plastering and painting, position the floor plate
including the floor protection (carton).
5. The fire can now be lifted onto the floor plate
carefully.
The fire must not be pushed along an unprotected
floor.
Strong corrugated cardboard, carton, or an old carpet
are excellently suited as an installation aid and an
underlay. The fire can also be pushed on this
underlay.
We recommend original flue pipes from the RIKA
flue pipe range for professional connection. The
connecting piece must not project into the chimney
shaft! Seal the gap between the flue pipe and wall
lining using a ceramic seal.
The installation must comply with the respective
safety and construction regulations. Please contact
your master chimney sweep in this respect – he will be
happy to give you information.
If you use a system chimney (e.g. glazed fireclay), we
would ask you to follow the manufacturer ´’s
connection regulations exactly.
MAKING AN EXTERNAL
COMBUSTION AIR FEED
(Optional)
1. Cut the pre-stamped square section at the
bottom of the rear panel (page 4-5, part 57)
using an iron saw blade.
2. Replace the plastic cover with the intake air duct
(page 4-5, part 8, not included in delivery).
3. Connect a non-flammable pipe to the fresh air
nozzle (e.g.: Steel spiral pipe Ø125) and fix this
using a hose clip (not included in delivery!)
4. The line should not be longer than 4 m and have
no bends in order to guarantee adequate air
feed.
5. If the pipe extends to the outside it must be fitted
with a cowl.
VOLTAGE FREE CONTACT
The voltage free contact SK1 is configured to open
i.e. as soon as the stove enters the heating phase
the contact is opened. This contact is suitable for
the connection of external devices such as air
conditioning or an air extraction fan, which have to
be switched off during heating operation.
E. g. air conditioning, exhaust fan,
230V/50Hz
max. 10 A
