3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1. FITTING THE FIREPLACE
When • tting one of these • tted • res 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.
If the chimney serves more than one • tted • re, the door must be self-closing
(pursuant to Bauart 1).
3.2. CHIMNEY
If no chimney is immediately available, have one • tted by a recognised specialist
only. The chimney must be compliant with local regulations and is particularly
important because it has a signi• cant bearing on the function of the appliance.
Basic rules:
Ÿ A chimney for an open • re is not, by de• nition, suitable for a closable model
(i.e. an appliance with doors). As a closed appliance draws in much less (cold)
air, the smoke is hotter. Please have your chimney inspected to see whether it
is suitable for a closable appliance.
Ÿ The chimney opening must be at least 5 metres above the top of the door
opening of your appliance.
Ÿ The chimney must protrude at least 40 cm above the apex of a sloping roof and
at least 1 metre above a • at roof. In short, it must not be under tension. Contact
your local chimney sweep for the exact dimensions of the chimney opening.
Ÿ The internal diameter must not be less than that of the appliance at any point
(even at the end of the pipe).
Ÿ Avoid kinks at all costs. The maximum deviation from the perpendicular is 45°.
Ÿ Both the dimensions and the construction must meet stringent construction
standards. Your recognised specialist will be pleased to assist.
Ÿ Contact your • re insurer to make sure that your policy is in order.
