GENERAL INFORMATION
The stove must be connected to a chimney
that is approved for solid fuels. The
chimney must have a diameter of at least
120 mm.
The flue system is based on negative
pressure in the combustion chamber and a
slight overpressure on the flue gas outlet. It
is therefore important that the flue gas
connection is fitted correctly and is airtight.
Only use heat resistant sealing materials, as well
as the relevant sealing bands, heat
resistant silicon and mineral wool.
MAKING THE CHIMNEY CONNECTION
(Fig. 1)
Method
1.
Measure and draw the chimney connection
(taking any floor plate thickness into
consideration). (Fig. 1)
2.
Chisel out (drill) the hole in the wall
3. Brick in the wall lining
4. Connect stove with the flue tube to the
chimney.
FLOOR PROTECTION
The stove must be set up on a fire resistant
surface. Where the floor is flammable
(wood, carpet etc.) a fire resistant base
(base plate made of glass, steel plate, cera-
mic or similar) is required.
Minimum dimension of a relevant base
(bottom plate):
From the combustion chamber opening to
the front:
50 cm
From the combustion chamber opening to
the left and right:
30 cm (each side)

chimney, if possible use a connection piece
with cleaning opening.
For optimum efficiency please use the type
of connector we recommend.

We recommend using only an authorised specialist
company for fitting (or inspection and approval
in the case of installing the stove yourself).
In addition you must ensure that the flue
tube does not project into the free cross
section of the chimney.
NOTE: Please follow the regionally valid building
regulations.
Contact your master chimney sweep for
information on this.
Ensure that outlet routes to the chimney are
not too long.
Avoid too many changes of direction for the
flue gas flow to the chimney. (e.g. too many
corners and bends).
