INSTALING THE STOVE
Stove must not be set up near the wooden parts, refrigeration devices, plastic furniture and other
flammable materials because during operation (during fuel combustion) it achieves high operating
temperature that is distributed on the outside of the furnace. Minimum distance between the stove and the
surrounding elements is 50 cm, and the from flammable materials 80 cm.
If the ground on which you set the stove is made of easily flammable material (wood, warm floor,
laminate ...) you need to set under the stove a protection sheet metal - lateral width of 10 cm and 50 cm in
the front.
Because of its weight, the stove must be installed on the appropriate base. If it does not satisfied
necessary standard, you must take appropriate measures to make it possible (e.g., weight distribution).
Connect the stove to a chimney and flue pipes through the connector on top of the furnace, so as to ensure
adequate tightness and flow of smoke from the stove to the chimney. Flue pipe must not be drawn too
deeply into the chimney that would reduce the cross sectional area and thus undermined draft in the
chimney. Do not use reducers which reduce the cross section of pipe smoke.
The stove requires insertion of fresh air in the room where it is installed, with surface openings for
insertion of fresh air should not be less than 0.4 dm ². The unit for fresh air set outside the common room for
ventilation, which must be insured by door and grids.
Fans that work in the same room where the stove is installed may make interference with stove. Also,
all devices or ventilation that creates negative pressure in the room where the stove is installed, must be set
in the way that does not make decompression that prevents normal operation of the furnace.
Before installing the stove, check the chimney drafts because it is a key factor in the proper functioning of the
stove. Draft depends on the proper operation of the chimney and meteorological conditions. One of the
easiest ways to check the draft in the chimney is with a candle flame, as shown in Figure 3 . Put a candle near
the chimney connection drain. If the flame bends towards drain, the draft is satisfying (Figure 3b). If the flame
doesn’t bend or bends a little, that indicates poor draft(Figure 3a).
If there is poor draft in the chimney (Figure 3a), check the chimney operation. The chimney should be
located inside the building, and if it’s located on the external walls of the building, it’s recommended
insulation chimney.
