The stove is specifically designed for burning certain kinds of fuels. In the technical
specifications under cover you can find detailed information concerning this topic. It is
absolutely prohibited to burn fuels other than these, as this may damage your heater.
Moreover, it is ecologically harmful.
3. Installation guideline
3.1.
Preparatory measures
The stove should be hermetically connected to a well-functioning chimney, sufficiently
enclosed to keep combustible materials (floor and walls) at a distance, and should be
installed in a room with sufficient ventilation.
Please inform about national or local norms and regulations concerning this subject.
Your distributor will give you the necessary advice.
You can also consult the fire department and/or an insurance company about specific
demands or regulations.
Please read the technical specifications under cover in this manual before installing the
stove.
3.1.1.
The chimney
The chimney (the flue) has a double function:
It draws air, that is necessary for good combustion, into the stove.
It functions as an exhaust pipe for combustion gases via thermal or natural
draught. Thermal draught is caused by the difference in heat between the air in-
and outside the flue. The heated air in the flue is lighter than the colder air outside
the flue and consequently rises up, along with the combustion gases. Natural
draught is caused by environmental phenomena, such as wind.
It is prohibited to connect several heaters to one chimney (for instance the central
heating boiler), unless local or national regulations allow this.
Please check which chimney is to be used for the stove you purchased and whether your
chimney is appropriate for this specific usage. You should consider an expert's opinion
on this matter.
The chimney should meet the following conditions:
The flue should be made of fireproof material. Ceramic or stainless steel is
recommended.
The chimney should be airtight and thoroughly cleaned and should guarantee a
sufficient draught (a draught or negative pressure of 15 to 20 Pa is ideal under
normal circumstances).
It should run as vertically as possible. Changes in direction or horizontal segments
will disrupt the smoke flow and may cause soot to cumulate inside the flue (and
clog the flue!).
