EN - Rev 1.1
Any shelves or false ceilings mounted above the appliance must be at least 50 cm away from the top part of it.
Furniture and movable objects made from flammable materials must be positioned at least 20 cm from the side surfaces
of the appliance; these objects must be moved when performing maintenance on the appliance.
Protect all structures that can catch fire against the radiated heat of the fire.
Any extra intervention by the Authorised technical assistance centre, which requires the appliance to be
disconnected from the system, will not be covered under warranty as described in the chapter “Standard
Warranty Conditions”.
External air intake
During operation, the appliance takes in air from the environment in which it is installed; It is therefore essential that this
air is replaced through an external air vent. The absence of the air vent may affect the flue draught and therefore the
combustion and the safety of the appliance.
Therefore it is mandatory to install an external air vent with a minimum completely free passage of at least 80 cm
2
(round hole with minimum diameter of 15 cm protected with a special fixed large mesh grille).
If it not possible to put the external air vent in the same room as where the appliance is installed, this hole can be made
in an adjoining room as long as this room communicates permanently, by means of a transit hole (15 cm minimum
diameter).
The hole must be protected externally with a fixed grille. The protective grille must be checked periodically to ensure that
it is not obstructed, thereby impeding the passage of air. Therefore keep the air vents clear of obstructions.
The Standard FORBIDS the drawing of combustion air from garages, warehouses storing combustible materials, or from
business premises with a fire hazard.
If there are other heating or extraction devices inside the room, the air vents must guarantee a sufficient amount of air for
properly operating all the devices.
Only sealed appliances (e.g. C type gas appliances, according to the Standard) or appliances that do not cause a lower
pressure compared with the external environment can pre-exist or be installed in the place where the appliance is
installed.
Extractor fans can cause malfunctions to the appliance if used in the same room.

Chimney and Flue pipe
The chimney is essential to the efficient operation of a Klover appliance. The chimney should be constructed according
to these instructions, the relevant BS EN regulations and Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Shape and size of chimney: A round chimney of 125mm diameter is recommended. 125mm is also the minimum
diameter which should be used. If the appliance is DEFRA Exempt then it should be connected to a 125mm chimney as
standard (assuming that the outlet is not larger than 125mm). If it is not DEFRA Exempt then a calculation according to
BS EN 13384-1:2002 must be completed if it is to be connected to a 125mm diameter chimney.
The maximum recommended round chimney diameter is 150mm.
