Installation guideline
Preparatory measures
The replace should be hermetically connected to a well-functioning chimney, sufciently
enclosed to keep combustible materials (oor and walls) at a distance, and should be installed
in a room with sufcient ventilation.
Please inform about national or local norms and regulations concerning this subject. Your
distributor will give you the necessary advice.
You can also consult the re department and/or an insurance company about specic demands
or regulations.
Please read the technical specications under cover in this manual before installing the ap-
pliance.
The chimney
The chimney (the ue) has a double function:
It draws air, that is necessary for good combustion, into the stove.
It functions as an exhaust pipe for combustion gases via thermal or natural draught. Ther
-
mal draught is caused by the difference in heat between the air in- and outside the ue.
The heated air in the ue is lighter than the colder air outside the ue and consequently
rises up, along with the combustion gases. Natural draught is caused by environmental
phenomena, such as wind.
It is prohibited to connect several heaters to one chimney (for instance the central heating
boiler), unless local or national regulations allow this.
Please check which chimney is to be used for the stove you purchased and whether your
chimney is appropriate for this specic usage. You should consider an expert’s opinion on
this matter.
The chimney should meet the following conditions:
The ue should be made of reproof material. Ceramic or stainless steel is re-commen-
ded.
The chimney should be airtight and thoroughly cleaned and should guarantee a sufcient
draught (a draught or negative pressure of 15 to 20 Pa is ideal under normal circumstan
-
ces).
It should run as vertically as possible. Changes in direction or horizontal segments will
disrupt the smoke ow and may cause soot to cumulate inside the ue (and clog the
ue!).
The chimney’s inside dimensions must not be too large in order to prevent the smoke
from cooling off too much. For recommended chimney dimensions, see the technical
specication under cover. Larger dimensions can be used if the ue is well insulated.
