INSTALLING THE STOVE
Stove must not be set up near the wooden parts, refrigeration parts, plastic furniture and
other flammable materials because during operation (during fuel combustion) it achieves
high operating temperature that is distributed on the outside of the furnace. Minimum
distance between the stove and the surrounding elements is 50 cm, and the from flamable
materials 80 cm.
If the ground on which you set the stove is made of easily flammable material (wood, warm
floor, laminate ...) you need to set under the stove a protetion sheet metal - lateral width of 10
cm and 50 cm in the front.
Because of it
’s weight, the stove must be installed on the appropriate base. If it does not
satisfie necessary standard, you must take appropriate measures to make it possible (eg,
weight distribution).
Connect the stove to a chimney and flue pipes through the connector on top of the furnace,
so as to ensure adequate tightness and flow of smoke from the stove to the chimney. Flue
pipe must not be drawn too deeply into the chimney that would reduce the cross sectional
area and thus undermined draft in the chimney. Do not use reducers which reduce the cross
section of pipe smoke.
The stove requires insertion of fresh air in the room where it is installed, with surface
openings for insertion of fresh air should not be less than 0.4 dm ². The unit for fresh air set
outside the common room for ventilation, which must be insured by door and gride.
Fans that work in the same room where the stove is installed may make interference wit the
the stove. Also, all devices or ventilation that creates negative pressure in the room where
the stove is installed, must be set in the way that does not make decompression that
prevents normal operation of the furnace.
Before installing the stove, check the chimney drafts because it is a key factor in the proper
functioning of the stove. Draft depends on the proper opration of the chimney and
meteorological conditions. One of the easiest ways to check the draft in the chimney is with a
candle flame, as shown in Figure 2 . Put a candle near the chimney connection drain. If the
flame bends towards drain, the draft is satisfying (Figure 2b). If the flame doesn’t bend or
bends a little, that indicates poor draft(Figure 2a).
Figure 2a Figure 2b
If there is poor draft in the chimney (Figure 2a), check the chimney operation. The chimney
should be located inside the building, and if
it’s located on the external walls of the building,
i
t’s recommended insulation chimney.
