The spigot may be connected either to the rear or top of the stove. The cover plate must
be attached to close off the outlet that is not used.
IMPORTANT
Verify the weight-bearing capacity of the floor. If necessary the unit could be placed
on a stone slab, tiled area or steel sheet for example.
If the floor is made of combustible material, it should be protected by a sheet of non-
combustible material which protrudes beyond the front of the unit by at least 40cm.
Use pipes of the specified diameter and preferably enameled as their resistance to
corrosion is higher.
The rear wall should not contain any combustible material; otherwise it should be
similarly protected.
The ceiling should be a minimum of 80cm above the top of the stove.
CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY
The unit should be connected according to accepted norms. This is especially important with
regard to combustible materials and insulation. No joins must be made within the actual thickness
of the ceiling itself.

If the unit is to be connected to an existing chimney, then the length of flue/tubing should be kept
to a minimum. The connection should always be made with good quality material. The internal
diameter of the connection must correspond to the external diameter of the spigot on the unit.
ATTENTION: If the connection has to go through combustible material, all material in a radius of
20cm around the pipe should be replaced by heat resistant material. For the unit to function well it
is important that here is sufficient air in the vicinity of the unit.
The pressure drop (draw) of the chimney should be between 10
– 12 pascals. This measure can
only be attained when the unit is hot and operating normally. If the pressure drop exceeds 17
pascals, it should be reduced by installing a form of damper in the tubing/chimney.
