Failure to respect the mounting instructions leads to
engage the responsibility of the one doing the
installation.
The manufacturer’s responsibility shall be limited
to the supply of the appliance.
2.2 Location of the unit
Ventilation :
For satisfactory appliance operation with a natural
draught, check that sufficient air for combustion is
available in the room.
In houses equipped with one VMC (controlled
mechanical ventilation), this one aspire and renew the
ambient air ; In this case, the residence is under slight
low pressure and a non-sealable external air intake
must be installed in addition to the chimney itself, at
least 50 cm² in section.
Position of the unit :
For new installations, select a central position within the
house, to provide a good heat distribution around the
building.
The heat distribution towards the other rooms will be
made through the communicating doors.
These rooms must be in negative pressure or must
include ventilation gratings.
Floor and walls :
Make sure that the floor can support the weight of the
appliance, its surroundings and the hood. In the
contrary the floor needs to be reinforced with a concrete
screed to distribute this load.
Make sure they are not combustible or covered with
combustible material (as per the Building regulations).
There must be a clearance of at least 150 mm at each
side of the appliance and at the back of the appliance
from a non-combustible wall.
This measurement may be reduced to a minimum gap
of 50 mm when the non-combustible wall is at least
200 mm thick.
This distance must be extended to a minimum
clearance of 600 mm from any combustible materials.
The distance to a combustible rear wall is minimum
400 mm.
When using a single wall flue pipe, there must be a
clearance (A) of at least three times its diameter (B)
from any combustible materials.
If the appliance has to be located in an opening, this
distance must be extended to a minimum clearance (A)
of 375 mm from the pipe or the stove body to any
combustible materials.
Hearth :
The appliance must stand on a fireproof hearth.
It is possible to provide a hearth made of non
combusible board/sheet material or tiles at least 12 mm
thick (C).
Constructional hearths should be constructed of solid
non combustible material at least 125 mm thick
(including the thickness of any non combustible floor
under the hearth).
The hearth must protrude at least 225 mm in front of the
stove and 150 mm each side.
If the hearth is constructed on timber, there must be a
clearance of at least 250 mm from the timber to the top
surface of the hearth. See section J of the Building
regulations.
Do not place any combustible matérials in front of the
stove within a distance of 115 cm.
Be aware that the distances given are the minimum
required, however take into consideration that you need
to have sufficient space for cleaning and maintenance
purposes.
2.3 Flue
Existing flue :
The chimney must comply with Current
Building Regulations. If in doubt, consult your Dealer or
local Building Inspector.
