safety clearances
Stoves must always be installed in line with nati-
onal and, if applicable, local regulations. It is im-
portant to abide by local regulations regarding
setting up chimneys and connection to same.
Therefore, always consult your local chimney
sweep before installation, as you are personally
responsible for ensuring that the applicable re-
gulations have been met.
Distance regulations
A difference applies to installation next to flam-
mable and non-flammable walls.
If the wall is made of non-flammable material the
stove can, in principle, be placed flush against
it. However, we recommend leaving a gap of at
least 5 cm to facilitate cleaning behind the stove.
The minimum distances to flammable mate-
rial are stated on the boiler plate and are li-
sted in the table on page 6.
Warning
A stove gets hot. (In excess of
90 degrees) Take care to en sure
that children cannot come into
contact with it.
Combustible materials should not be stored
in the compartment below the ashpan.
MPortant
1. Make sure there is adequate provision
to sweep the chimney.
2. Make sure there is adequate ventilation to
the room.
3. Please note that any extraction fans
operating in the same room as the wood-
burning stove can reduce the chimney draft
– which may have an adverse effect on stove
combustion properties. In addition, this may
cause smoke to be emitted from the stove
when the firing door is opened.
4. It must not be possible to cover any air vents.
the floor
It is essential to ensure that the floor surface can
actually bear the weight of the stove and a top-
mounted steel chimney, if applicable. The stove
must stand on a nonflammable surface such as a
steel floor plate or a brick or tile floor. The size of
the nonflammable surface used to cover the floor
area must match national and local regulations.
the chimney connection
The chimney opening must follow national and
local regulations. However, the area of the ope-
ning should never be less than 175 cm
2
, which
corresponds to a diameter of 150 mm. If a dam-
per is fitted in the flue gas pipe, there must al-
ways be at least 20 cm
2
of free passage, even
when the damper is in its “closed” position.
Wood-burning stoves must never be con-
nected to chimneys that are also linked to a
gasfired heater.
An efficient stove makes high demand on chim-
ney properties – so always have your local chim-
ney sweep evaluate your chimney.
Connection to a brick chimney
Brick a thimble into the chimney and seat the
flue gas pipe in this. The thimble and flue gas
pipe must not penetrate the chimney opening
itself, but must be flush with the inside of the
chimney duct. Joins between brickwork, the
thimble and flue gas pipe must be sealed with
fireproof material and/or beading.
Connection to a steel chimney
When fitting a connection from a top-output
stove directly to a steel chimney, we recommend
fitting the chimney tube inside the flue gas spigot
so that any soot and condensation drops into the
stove itself rather than collecting on the exterior
surface of the stove.
For connections to chimneys that are run through
ceilings, all national and local regulations regar-
ding distance to flammable material must be fol-
lowed. It is important that the chimney is fitted with
roof support so that the top panel of the stove is
not required to bear the entire weight of the chim-
ney (excessive weight may damage the stove).
Draft conditions
Poor draft may result in smoke being emitted
from the stove when the door is opened. The
minimum chimney draft to ensure satisfacto-
ry combustion in stoves of this kind is 12 PA.
However, there will still be a risk of smoke emis-
sion if the firing door is opened during power-
ful firing. The flue gas temperature at nominal
output is 272°C when expelled to an exterior
temperature of 20°C. The flue gas mass flow is
5.3 g/sec. The chimney draft is generated by the
difference between the high temperature of the
installation instrUCtions
