We recommend that the stove be installed at least 10-15 cm from masonry in order to allow
heat to circulate and to facilitate the cleaning of the inside and outside of the stove. A layer
of wallpaper on a brick wall is normally regarded as non-ammable material.
The oor
If the stove is installed on a ammable oor, national and local regulations must be observed
with regard to the size of the non-ammable underlying surface that must cover the oor be-
neath the stove.
The underlying surface must naturally be able to bear the weight of the stove and, if ap-
plicable, the steel chimney.
Distance to furniture
We recommend that the stove be installed 800 mm from furniture, but consideration should
also be given to whether furniture, etc., will dry out as a result of its proximity to the stove.
The distance to ammable material in front of the stove is 800 mm.
A wood-burning stove gets hot when it is red. Caution must therefore be observed, par-
ticularly with regard to children touching the stove.
1.5 The chimney
If local regulations permit, the stove may be connected to a chimney already serving anoth-
er replace (such as an oil-burning stove or another wood-burning stove). Attention should
be paid to any requirements concerning the location of ue pipes if two or more replaces
are connected to the same chimney.
The wood-burning stove must never be connected to a chimney to which a gas-burning stove
is already connected. An ecient, modern stove places great demands on the chimney, so have
a chimney sweep check the condition of your chimney.
The aperture of the chimney must comply with national and local regulations. In general,
the aperture area should measure at least 175 cm2 for wood-burning stoves.
An overly large chimney aperture will mean that too much energy will be required to heat
the chimney suciently to achieve an acceptable draught. If you have a brick chimney with
a large aperture, we recommend that you install an insulating chimney liner of the proper
diameter. This will increase the draught, and improve the fuel economy.
There are no requirements with respect to specic chimney heights, but a chimney must be
tall enough to provide a good draught, and to ensure that the smoke does not cause any prob-
lems. As a general rule, there will be a satisfactory draught if the chimney extends 4 metres
above the stove and at least 80 cm above the spine of the roof. If the chimney is located along
the side of the house, the top of the chimney should never be lower than the spine of the roof
or the highest point on the roof. Please note that there are often national and local regula-
tions regulating the location of chimneys in houses with thatched roofs. Please see section
1.9 Draught.
The chimney and the ue pipe must be tted with cleaning doors, which must be at least
the same size as the chimney’s aperture area.
The chimney must be accessible for external inspection, and it must be possible to access
the cleaning doors and the chimney if it is to be cleaned from the top (e.g. steel chimneys).
