If a top connection is employed, it is
important to ensure that the plummet stop
is fitted inside the stove insert. The plummet
stop prevents damage to the flue baffle
during chimney-sweeping operations.

Assembly
The top stone unit and the cast-iron grill
must be fitted before the flue pipes are
assembled. In the case of the Art Modern
model and the Art Pierre model , the entire
soapstone casing must be fitted at this
stage. The Art Étage and Moderne model
is equipped with a front grill and has no
top grill.
Impotant!
Study the user instructions carefully before using the stove and
remember that the installation must be first approved by a chimney
sweep.
The right location
When you are deciding where the stove is to be placed, it is important to select a central
location in your house in order to ensure even distribution of heat. If you are also plan-
ning to install a chimney, it is an advantage if the chimney exit point is as close to the
roof ridge as possible, since this entails both aesthetic and cost benefits. If there is a floor-
level above the stove, you should also think about how the chimney is to pass through it.
A cupboard or a corner area is often a good location for a flue shaft. The floor surface
on which the stove is to rest must be even and horizontal.
Order of assembly for top connection
Follow the chimney supplier’s instructions carefully. Assembly is accomplished
in the following order:
1. Prepare air-feed to the hearth (if required).
2. Cut hole in ceiling.
3. Install the fireplace base.
4. Lift the stove into position and fit the top stone unit in place (where
applicable).
5. Fit soapstone units and top grill (where applicable).

Start by fitting the adapter pipe, using
stove sealant (see photo). The next stage
is to fit the connection piece and the flue
modules, in accordance with the chimney
manufacturer’s instructions.
If there is a gap between the stove and
the connection piece, insulate it with carb-
wool, rockwool, or a similar material. Then
insert the flue pipes to achieve a tight fit
against the stove.
