INSTALLATION
Do not put the stove in direct vicinity of wooden elements, cooling devices, plastic
parts of the furniture and other combustible materials, since it creates high working
temperature which is distributed at the exterior of the stove. The least distance
between oven and surrounding elements is 50 cm, and from combustible materials
80 cm.
If the base on which stove will be positioned is made of easily combustible material
(wood, warm floor, laminate...) it is necessary to put larger dimension protection -
laterally 10 cm, and in front 50 cm.
Stove is to be connected with chimney through flue pipes and via connection of the
stove, in order to provide adequate sealing and smoke draft from stove to the
chimney. Smoke exhaust pipe may not be inserted too deeply into the chimney not
to reduce surface of its cross-section thus reducing draft.
Ventilators which work in the same room in which stove is mounted may create
disturbances with the stove operation. Also, all devices or air conditioning which
make sub-pressure in the room in which stove is installed must be adjusted not to
make decompression which disables normal operation of the stove.
Prior to installation of the stove, check draft in the chimney since it is one of the key
factors of proper operation. Draft depends on accuracy of the chimney and
meteorological conditions. One of the simplest aspects for checking of the draft in
the chimney is using candle flame, as illustrated in the figure 2a and 2b.
Candle flame is to be offered to connection opening of the chimney and, if it sways
towards opening, draft is satisfactory. Weak swaying of the flame is indicator of weak
draft. In that case, check draft in the chimney.
