!CAUTION
•
3.2 Regulations
Install the appliance according to the applicable European, national, local and construction (installation)
regulations.
In the Netherlands this includes the Building Decree.
3.3 Precautions/safety instructions during installation
Carefully comply with the precautionary measures/safety regulations below:
Ø
Only install and maintain the fire if you are a trained installer of woodburning appliances.
Ø
Only install the fire in a space where the location, the technical construction and the activity in this space cannot
involve any danger due to the burning of the fire.
Ø
Depending on the type of suspension, install the fire on a floor, against a wall or on a ceiling with sufficient load
bearing capacity.
Ø
Take account of any combustible chimney beams above the fire. Remove them or apply sufficient
non-combustible insulation material according to the construction regulations under European fire classification
A1 EN 13501-1.
Ø
If you find other combustible materials, apply sufficient non-combustible insulation material according to the
construction regulations under European fire classification A1 EN 13501-1.
Ø
When installing a free-standing fire take account of the minimum required distance from the fire to a
non-combustible wall. This distance amounts to 50 mm.
Ø
Use heater piping material that at least suffices with regard to EN 1856-2 T600.
Ø
When installing the fire and/or the flue pipes respect the minimum distance to combustible objects and materials
(see Annex 1, Table 2 and the data plate at the front of this installation manual).
Ø
Lay a protective floor plate if the floor is combustible (see section 5.4).
Ø
Never cover a free-standing fire and/or pack it with an insulation blanket or any other material.
Ø
Connect the fire to a suitable flue duct.
Ø
Remove any stop valve or slide in the flue duct of the existing open hearth.
Ø
Have the flue duct inspected and cleaned by a certified chimney sweeping company beforehand.
Ø
Do not make any changes to the fire yourself.
Ø
Only use original parts for replacement.
Ø
Ensure sufficient ventilation in the installation space. Fit an extra air supply opening if necessary.
Ø
Make sure that there is never underpressure in the installation space. If applicable, connect the outside air
connection to immediately extract the combustion air to outside the home.
Extra information if you are installing an insert/built-in appliance:
Ø
Use non-combustible and heat-resistant material according to European fire classification A1 EN 13501-1 for the
chimney breast (including the upper face), the material in the chimney breast and the back wall against which the
appliance is fitted. Plate material or stony materials can be used for this.
Ø
Take adequate measures according to the construction regulations to prevent too high temperatures (>85 °C) of a
wall behind the chimney breast, including the materials and/or objects behind the wall.
Ø
Take account of the minimum required internal dimensions of the chimney breast.
Ø
Convection heat can be extracted from the chimney breast by using ventilation grates.
Ø
If applicable connect the convection opening with a flexible aluminium pipe and ventilation elements.
Ø
These accessories can be ordered from your supplier.
Ø
If applicable use heat-resistant electrical connections and fit them away from the appliance.
