3. INSTALLING THE FIRE
Before first commissioning or after changing the
location of the fire, cleaning and service work, ensure
that the flue plate, as well as the wood stop (Fig.
Combustion chamber, Part 22 and 23) is in the correct
position. When usinga flue pipe with throttle valve, the
throttle valve
must be open.
Care must be taken with this fire that the flue
draught
reaches at least the prescribed value (> 0.8 mbar).
Should problems arise here, please contact your
master chimney sweep
Caution! Remove the sticker from the Ceran area
before using your fire for the first time.
Important: The Ceran area becomes very hot during
use and only cools down very slowly. There is an
acute danger of burning up to one hour after fire has
gone out!
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.
