For inflammable material like inflammable walls made of wood, fur
-
niture, etc. the following minimum distances apply for safety rea-
sons:
150 mm behind the stove to flammable material. (picture 1)
450 mm beside the stove to flammable material. (picture 1)
200 mm behind/beside if mounted 45° in a corner (picture 2)
1200 mm in front of the stove to flammable material.
Distance to non-flammable materials
It is recommended that there is a minimum of 50-100 mm behind
and beside the stove so the stove can dispose of the heat, this di-
stance makes cleaning of and around the stove easier. In addition,
refer to the relevant Building Regulations.
Requirements for the chimney
The chimney must be of sufficient height so the draught conditions
are okay the smoke does not bother anyone. Good draught in the
chimney is crucial to the stove working as intended and burns as en-
vironmentally friendly as possible. The height of the chimney must
typically be a minimum of 3.5 m from the top of the stove to the top
of the chimney.
The chimney must have a minimum internal diameter of Ø150mm.
The chimney must be equipped with an easily accessible cleaning
hatch. All joints and connections must be tight and the chimney
must be able to provide a draught of at least 1.2 mm water gauge
(12Pa).
It is possible to connect the wood-burning stove to chimneys that
are also used for other purposes. However, the concrete conditions
must be assessed by the fitter and/or chimney sweep.
If the stove is to be mounted with back/rear exit the follo-
wing is done:
The round, welded or screwed cover plate at the back of the stove
is removed. Then the cut-out piece on the base-plate is removed
(the thin division plate). Be careful not to drop the piece between
the back plate and the stove! This is best done with a screwdriver /
chisel or pliers.
