• The soot and deposit on the surfaces under
the stove’s hot plates should be removed
frequently with, for example, a steel brush.
• Dishwashing detergent can be used for sooty
glass doors. Use washing-up liquid to remove
deeply ingrained soot. Rinse and dry the glass
after cleaning.
• Paint and enamel surfaces can be lightly wiped
with a damp cloth when the furnace has cooled
off.
• If you notice flue gas leakage, check the
sealing of the damper joints and furnace parts.
If required, seal and tighten the joints.
Chimney
• The chimney and connection pipes should be
swept at regular intervals and especially if the
stove has not been used in a long time.
• Due to incomplete burning of fuel and failure of
sweeping the chimney, the soot build-up in the
flue may ignite. Actions to be taken in case of
a chimney fire:
1. Close the stove door and damper plate (if
installed).
2. Contact local fire authority.
3. Do not try to extinguish fire using water.
4. After a sootfire, a chimney sweeper must
check the stove and the flue before use.
3.1. Before Installation
Before installing the iron stove make sure that
all safety distance requirements are fulfilled.
There shall be no electrical devices, wires or
inflammable materials within the established safety
distances around the iron stove.
• All local regulations, including those referring
to national and European standards need to be
complied with when installing the appliance.
• The iron stove is not suitable for installation in
a shared flue system.
• The local fire authorities in charge of appro-
ving the installations can provide more detailed
information about fire safety regulations.
3.2. Installation location
The furnace should be placed as centrally as pos-
sible to achieve an even distribution of heat. Fire
safety regulations must also be taken into considera-
tion when planning the location.
The space required for installation consists of the
space taken up by the stove itself as well as the
safety distances and space needed for normal use
and maintenance tasks. For the minimum safety
distances, refer to 3.2.1. Your local fire authorities
can provide more detailed information on fire safety
regulations.
3. INSTALLING HARVIA IRON STOVES
The iron stove shall be installed on a floor with
an adequate load-bearing capacity. If the
existing floor does not meet this prerequisite,
suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall
be taken to achieve it.
If the floor in front of the stove door is made of
inflammable material, install floor protection made
of nonflammable material (figure 1).
The combustion gases are removed through a
Harvia modular smoke pipe or a smoke flue made
of bricks with a minimum size of 140 x 140 mm.
When using a Harvia modular smoke pipe , the
fireplace can be placed in the most practical loca-
tion. For more detailed installation instructions, see
the Instructions for installation of Harvia modular
smoke pipes.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safety
distances and the installation of pre-manufactured
flues.
3.2.1. Safety Distances
See figure 1.
• Walls made of inflammable material. The mini-
mum safety distances to inflammable materi-
als: on either side 500 mm and behind the iron
stove 500 mm.
