Operation Manual

5
The stove has been built with a self closing door mechanism. This can
be disabled by removing the spring.
If the combustion air is being supplied from the outside, the duct size
will need to be increased for any duct over two metres long or any run
containing 90 degree bends. The duct length should not be longer
than 6 metres with no more than three 90 degree bends. The chimney
must be able to overcome the additional resistance of the air intake
ducting.
When the stove is out keep both regulators closed, in order for cold air
not to be able to circulate throughout the chimney. However, it can be
advantageous to open the air controls awhile before lighting the stove
to allow warmer air to begin going up the chimney.
Pay attention to the flue pipe.
The chimney draw must be a minimum of 12 pascals.
Due to the cold outside air, condensation can be avoided by insulating the flue pipe.
Your chimney significantly contributes to the proper working of your stove.
Recommendations:
• Working level of chimney: min. 5 meters
• Maximum diameter of flue 160 mm
• Any existing chimney should be examined by an expert
3. Installation of the Stove and the flue pipe connection
3.1. Flue pipe connection
The combustion air pre-heat throat plate is not designed to be removable in the
Melody and so it is important to include a sweeping access in the first length of flue
pipe when using the top flue outlet.
All flue pipe that is used to connect the stove to the chimney must comply with national
regulations. All connections from the stove into the chimney must be firm and tightly
connected.
Be careful that flue pipe does not enter into the free section of the chimney.
Maintain the correct distances specified by building regulations between the flue pipe and
combustible material.
When the stove has a rear flue connection, the Tee cap should be securely attached.
This appliance must never be connected to a shared flue system.
