3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1. FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
When • tting the stove, local and/or national regulations relating to • re safety
must be followed. In case of doubt, consult the • re safety department of the local
• re brigade, particularly if the stove is to be • tted in a home with walls and/or
• oors containing • ammable material.
Position the appliance suf• ciently far away from the wall behind it, according
to the data from chapter 1.2. If the walls are not • re-proof, the distance should
be such that the wall in question cannot become hotter than 80°C, even when
the stove is stoked up to high temperatures. In case of doubt, insert a • re-proof
protection shield.
The • oor on which the appliance is placed must have suf• cient bearing power.
The connection of several appliances to a single • ue/chimney is not allowed.
3.2. CHIMNEY
Be sure that existing chimneys are completely air-tight and in good condition. In
terms of dimensions, the chimney must have a diameter of at least 150 mm for
the entire length (including the chimney pot).
Ensure that the chimney is • tted with an appropriate cap to avoid rain and dirt
getting in (as well as bird’s nests).
The draught • owing through the chimney determines how well your stove will
burn (recommended draught 0.15 mbar: = 15 Pa).
In the event of problems, a solution may be a different chimney cap, if necessary
one with a chimney fan. Contact a specialist if you have any doubts about any of
the above points.
If your chimney is unsuitable, or if your home does not have a chimney,
we recommend the use of double-walled stainless steel chimney sections.
Chimneys must comply with the prevailing building regulations. Make sure the
building is carried out by a specialist. When purchasing such chimneys, be sure
to check if a casing is required.
