2. INSTALLING THE STOVE

General information

Note

Assembly may only be performed by authorised specialist

companies�

Note

Please observe the regional safety and building regulations� Please

contact your master chimney sweep in this context�

Note

Only use heat-resistant sealing materials as well as corresponding

sealing strips, heat-resistant silicon and rock wool�

Note

Also take care that the ﬂue does not project into the free cross-

section of the chimney�

Note

In case of room-air independent operation the stove pipe

connections must be tightly sealed permanently� Use a heat-proof

silicon to position the stove pipe on the conical supports of the ﬂue

tube nozzles and for insertion in the chimney ﬂue lining�

Note

The stove should not be pushed on unprotected ﬂoors�

Tip

Strong corrugated cardboard, cardboard or e�g� old carpet is useful

to assist assembly and as a base� The stove can also be pushed on

this cardboard or carpet�

We recommend original ﬂue pipes from RIKA for proper connection�

Connection to the chimney

Q The device must be connected to an approved

chimney for solid fuels� The chimney must have

a diameter of min� 100 mm for pellet stoves and

130 mm -150 mm for log wood stoves depending on the diameter

of the ﬂue pipes�

Q Avoid long ﬂue pipes to the chimney� The horizontal length of the

ﬂue pipe should not exceed 1�5 metres�

Q Avoid to many bends of the ﬂue gas pipes� There should not be

more than 3 bends in the exhaust pipe�

Q Please use a connection with a cleaning opening�

Q Connections must be made of metal and must meet the

requirements of the standard (install the connections airtight)�

Q Before installing a chimney calculation must be made� The

evidence must be performed for single occupancy to EN13384-1

and EN13384-2 for multiple occupancy�

Q The maximum draft of the chimney should not exceed 15 Pa�

Q The derivation of the ﬂue gases must be guaranteed even during

a temporary power outage�

Note

If connecting to multiple connection chimneys and depending on

country regulations, additional safety equipment is required� Your

local chimney sweep will advise you in this case�

Note

Be sure to prevent condensed water from entering via the ﬂue

connection� You may need to have a condensate ring installed -

ask your chimney sweeping expert for more information� Damages

caused by condensate are excluded from manufacturer’s warranty�

Connecting to a steel chimney

The connection must be calculated and shown with EN13384-1

and EN13384-2�

Use only insulated (double) stainless steel tubes (ﬂexible aluminum

or steel tubes are not permitted)�

An inspection door for regular inspection and cleaning must be

present�

The ﬂue pipe connection to the chimney has to be air-tight�

Combustion air

Every combustion process requires oxygen from the surrounding air�

This so-called combustion air is removed from the living are in the

case of individual stoves without external air connections�

This air removed must be replaced in the living space� Very tightly

sealed windows and doors in modern ﬂats may mean that too little

air replaces that used� The situation also becomes problematical due

to additional venting in ﬂats (e�g� in the kitchen or WC)� If you cannot

feed in external combustion air, then air the room several times a

day to prevent negativce pressure in the room or poor combustion�

Feeding in external combustion air

only for devices which are able to run in room-air independent

operation�

Q Combustion air must be fed to the stove from outside via a sealed

pipe for operation independent of the room air� According to

EnEV, it must be possible to shut off the combustion air pipe� The

open/closed setting must be clearly recognisable�

Q Connect at the air intake either a pipe Ø 125 mm for log wood and

combi stoves, or Ø 50 mm or Ø 60 mm for pellet stoves� Fix it with

a hose clamp (not included!)� At pellet stoves with longer intake

pipes than 1 m the diameter should be increased to 100 mm� (see

RIKA range)�

Q To ensure sufﬁcient air intake, the intake pipe should not exceed

max� 4 metres and have max� 3 bends�

Q If the line leads outside it must have a windbreak�

Q In extreme cold pay attention to icing on the air intake opening

(check)�

Q It is also possible to suction in combustion air directly from

another sufﬁciently vented room (e�g� cellar)�

Q The combustion air pipe must be tightly connected (adhesive or

cement) permanently to the air nozzles of the stove�

Q If you do not use the stove for a long time, please close the

combustion air intake to prevent the stove from moisture�

Note

Please note that problems may arise due to updrafts in the case

of combustion air supply from an integrated chimney ventilation

shaft� If the combustion air ﬂowing downwards is heated it may

rise and thus counter the chimney with a resistance which in turn

reduces the negative pressure in the combustion chamber� The

chimney manufacturer is to guarantee that the resistance for the

combustion air is a maximum 2 Pa even in the least favourable

operating state of the chimney�

If one or more of these conditions does NOT apply, the result is poor

combustion in the stove and negative pressure in the installation

room�
