Fire Safety
For reasons of fire safety is it important to observe the instructions below before installing the stove.
1. If the floor around the stove is made of combustible material, you must use a floor slab. The floor slab must
measure at least: - 50 cm from the stove on the front side of the door - 30 cm from the stove on the sides
of the door.
2. Keep at least a distance of 80 cm between the stove and combustible objects such as curtains, wooden
objects (cupboards and paintings) and glass objects. Keep the same distance from the flue tube.
3. Wooden construction parts within the radiation range of the stove (80 cm from the exterior of the stove)
must be covered with fireproof material.
4. If the flue tube goes through a ceiling and/or roof that consist of flammable materials, the ceiling and the
roof must be covered with fireproof materials all around (about 80 cm). Pay also attention to joisted floor
layers and any electric wiring.
5. Keep a distance of at least 50 cm (in all directions) between the stove and supporting steel construction
parts.
6. Shield off all combustible materials within a radius of 100 cm from the stove openings with non-
combustible materials.
7. Never cover the chimney breast with combustible material (e.g. paper covering).
8. The wall behind the stove must consist of, or be insulated with, fire-proof materials. The insulation material
must resist a temperature of 700 °C and have a density of 80 kg/m3. Please see for insulation materials
table page 29).
9. Avoid heat transmission when placing the stove. Heat transmission of a burning stove can penetrate the
wall and even cause fire damage on the other side of the wall. Prevention is better than cure.
Installation
The Black Pearl stove is tested in accordance with the international EN 13240 standardization and has an extra
additional standardization for optimally environment-friendly heating devices related to flue gases (Section
15a B-Vg. Des BmfWA). The stove can be connected to a flue tube to which several stoves are connected. The
flue tube has a diameter of 150 mm.
Supply of combustion air
The stove must have a sufficient fresh supply of combustion air. To avoid draft, make if necessary an extra air
supply opening as close to the stove as possible. An extra air supply opening is definitely required if:
•
the room has a heat recovery system.
•
the room has a central exhaust system.
•
the same space has a cooker hood.
The air supply opening must be sealable if it goes through a fire-resistant wall. If there are several heating
devices in the same room there must be enough air openings to guarantee proper combustion.
External air supply
The tube for supplying fresh outside air has a diameter of 100 mm. The air supply duct can be connected to
