5 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
All local directives, including the directives on national and European areas, must be taken
in to account when installing your stove.
Only a device, placed by an installer guarantees the correct follow-up of all directives regarding
architecture and fire prevention. This is an absolute must for a correct and safe function of your stove.
The life expectancy of your stove depends on a correct installation, correct use and correct maintenance.
Installation
The stove may only be installed on a floor capable of holding the correct weight. (see technical details).
If this is not the case, necessary measures must be taken in order to increase the carrying capacity.
In order to level out the stove, it is equipped with adjustable legs (adjusting screws). Adjust these if
necessary so that the stove is levelled out as much as possible. Adjustments can be made with a wrench.
The chimney
Before connecting the stove to a chimney, please check the dimensions and quality so that they
correspond to local directives. If necessary the dimensions must be calculated.
The stove can be connected on the chimney in a direct way. The diameter of the exhaust pipe must
correspond with the outlet of the stove.
A proper functioning of the stove can be guaranteed with a chimney draft between 12 and 20 Pa. When
the chimney draft is too high, a draft valve must be built within.
Never reduce in diameter smaller than the diameter of the stove exit diameter.
Consider the next steps in case of insufficient chimney draft :
- Make the chimney longer
- Improve the isolation of the chimney. ( avoids cooling of the fumes )
- Improve the supply of fresh air
- Improve the density of the chimney
