Please be aware that not all glass parts are heat-resistant. For this reason, a glass wall should
sometimes be treated as a ammable wall, in which case we ask that you please contact your local
chimney sweep or glass producer to hear at what distance the stove should be kept from glass.
Height Requirements
The WIKING Volcanic has a smoke outlet at the top and at the back. It can be installed with
an approved smoke pipe and a steel chimney, or connected to a brick chimney with a fullform
smoke pipe.
Connection to the Chimney
The chimney must be of a proper height to ensure that the draft is sufcient and that smoke does
not become bothersome. If the chimney is so high that it cannot be cleaned from the top, an
easily accessible cleaning hatch must be installed. We recommend, however, that you always
contact your local chimney sweep before purchasing a chimney.
Make sure that the chimney is tight and that no false draft is caused around neither the cover
plate, in connection with a covered smoke outlet, nor the cleanout door and pipe connections.
Please note that bent and/or horizontal smoke pipes will reduce the effect of the chimney draft.
Requirements for Chimney and Smoke Pipe
Nominal draft: Approximately 12 Pascal/1.2 mm water gauge.
Minimum clearance: Ø150 mm, which corresponds to your WIKING wood-burning stove’s
exhaust pipe.
Smoke pipe and chimney must always be suitable for a stove connection. Ask your WIKING
dealer for more information.
User Instructions
Before Using the Wood-Burning Stove
It is important that you ensure the following:
• That all of the wood-burning stove’s individual components are in place.
• That the chimney has been approved by your local chimney sweep.
• That fresh air can be supplied to the room in which the wood-burning stove is to be installed.
Some Things Worth Knowing about Fuels
Permitted Fuel Types
The wood-burning stove is only EN/NS-approved for ring with wood. Using dry wood with a
maximum water content of 20% is recommended. Firing with wet wood results in soot, environ-
mental strain and poor fuel efciency.
Recommended Wood Types
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, coniferous and fruit trees can be used
as fuel in your wood-burning stove. The big difference is found not in the heat value, but in the
wood’s weight per cubic meter. As beech weighs more per cubic meter of wood than common
spruce (e.g.), more common spruce must be added to provide the same amount of warmth the
beech provides.
