Prior to set up
Floor bearing capacity
Ensure that the substructure is capable of bearing the weight of the stove prior
to set-up.
Note
No modifications may be made to the firing installation. This also leads to loss
of warranty and guarantee.
Floor protection
A base is required (glass, sheet steel or ceramic) if the floor is combustible
(wood, carpet, etc.).
Flue pipe connection
Q
Flue pipes pose a particular source of hazard regarding gas leaks and
fire. Get the advice of an authorised specialist company for the layout and
assembly.
Q
Please observe the corresponding installation guidelines for walls panelled
with wood when connecting your flue pipes to the stove.
Q
Observe the formation of flue gas (atmospheric inversion) and draughts
when the weather is unfavourable.
Q
Infeed of too little combustion air can lead to smoke in the rooms or to flue
gas leaks. Hazardous deposits in the stove and chimney may also occur.
Q
If flue gas escapes, let the fire burn out and check whether all the air inlet
openings are free and the flue gas pipes and the stove pipe are clean. If in
doubt notify the master chimney sweep since draught malfunctions may be
connected to your chimney.
Stoves type 1 (BA 1):
Q
Suitable for multiple occupancy. (Note the different country regulations.)
Q
These may only be operated with the combustion chamber door closed.
Q
The combustion chamber door may only be opened to add fuel and must
then be closed again otherwise other firing installations connected to the
chimney may be endangered.
Q
The combustion chamber door is to be kept closed when the stove is not
in operation.
Q
Fouling of the chimney i.e. deposits of highly inflammable materials such as
soot and tar and subsequently fire in the chimney may occur if wet fuel is
used and operation is damped too much.
Q
If this occurs, close the fresh air support (slider, regulator, flaps - depending
on model)! Disconnect the mains plug at the stoves type Rikatronic.
Phone the fire brigade and get yourself and other residents out of harm’s
way.
Note
on ROOM-AIR DEPENDENT and ROOM-AIR INDEPENDENT OPERATION:
Your stove has been tested as a room-air independent stove according to
EN 13240 and can be installed as well room-air dependent and independent.
When installed room-air dependent in combination with room-air installations
(e.g. controlled ventilation and venting systems (extractors etc.) it must
be ensured that the stove and the room air system are monitored and
safeguarded mutually (e.g. via a differential pressure controller etc.). The
combustion air infeed of approx. 20 m3/h must be ensured.
Please observe the respective local regulations and rules in consultation with
your master chimney sweep. For changes after the printing of this manual, we
can not assume any liability. We reserve the right to change without notice.
