1 Stove installation
The stove must be connected in compliance with the applicable national and
European standards as well as local regulations!
To ensure that the stove is connected in compliance with the applicable
regulations, it is recommended to consult a registered installer prior to
installation. The registered installer will inform you about the locally applicable
regulations and issue the necessary permit for operation of the stove following
correct installation. Please note that for operation of a stove in Germany, the
appropriate authorities must be notified!
Other regulations may apply outside Germany and the EU.
Building regulations and fire protection according to EN 13240
The installation standard BS 8303:2018 – DIN 18896 applies to
thermally insulated combustible walls and must be taken into account
1.1 Floor loading
Note that the weight of the stove must not exceed the maximum permissible
floor loading capacity. The use of a non-combustible floor plate will distribute
the weight of the stove over a larger area.
