Safety

Please note: All safety regulations must be
compliedwith strictly.

Please read carefully the instructions supplied
with the appliance for installation, use and
maintenance, before using the appliance.

The appliance must be installed in accordance
with the laws and requirements of your
country.

All local regulations and the regulations relating
to national and European standards must be
observed when installing the appliance.

The appliance should preferably be installed by
an authorizedinstaller. Installers will be aware
of the applicable regulations andrequirements.

The appliance is designed for heating
purposes. All surfaces, includingthe glass and
connecting tube, can get very hot (over 100°C)!
For operation, use a so-called "cold hand" or an
oven glove.

Safety distances from flammable materials
must be adheredto strictly.

Don't place any curtains, clothes, laundry or
othercombustible materials on or nearthe
appliance.

Don't use flammable or explosive substances
near the appliance when it is in use.

Avoid a chimney fire by having the chimney
swept regularly. Never burn wood with the door
open.

In the case of a chimney fire: close all air inlets
of the appliance and alert the fire brigade.

If the glass in the appliance is brokenor
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use the appliance again.

Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the
room where the appliance is installed. If
ventilation is insufficient, combustion will be
incomplete resulting in toxic gases being
producedand spread through the room. See
the chapter"Installation requirements" for more
information on ventilation.

Installation
requirements

General

The appliance must be connected tightly to a well­functioning chimney.

For the connection measurements: see the
appendix "Technical data".

Ask the fire brigade and/or yourinsurance
company about any specific requirements and
regulations.

Chimney (flue)

The flue or chimney is needed for:

Removal of combustion gases via natural draught.

As the warm air in the flue or chimney is lighter
than the outside air, it rises.

Air intake, needed for the combustion of fuel in the
appliance.

A poorly-functioningflue or chimney can cause smoke
to escape into the room when the door is opened.
Damage caused by smoke emissions into the room is
not coveredby the warranty.

Do not connect multiple appliances (such as a
boiler for central heating) to the same flue,
unless local or national regulations allow this.
In the event of two connections ensure that the
difference in height between the connections is
no less than 200 mm.

Ask your installerfor advice regarding the flue. Refer
to the European norm EN13384 for a correct
calculations for the flue.

The flue must satisfy the following requirements:

The flue or chimney must be made of fire-resistant
material, preferably ceramics or stainless steel.

The flue or chimney must be airtight and well­cleaned and guarantee sufficient draught.

4

Subjectto change becauseof technicalimprovements

A draught/vacuum of 15-20Pa during normal
operationis ideal.

Starting from the flue spigot, the flue must run as
vertically as possible. Changes in direction and
horizontal pieces disrupt the outward flow of
combustion gases and may cause soot deposits.

To prevent combustion gases from cooling down
too much, which reduces the draught, ensure that
the interior diameter is not too big.

The flue or chimney should ideally have the same
diameter as the connection collar.

For the nominal diameter: see the appendix
"Technical data". If the smoke channel is well
insulated, the diameter may be slightly bigger
(upto 2x the section of the connection collar).

The section (area ) of the smoke channel must be
constant. Widersegments and (in particular)
narrowersegments disrupt the outward flow of
combustion gases.

When using a cover plate or exhaust hood: make
sure that the cover does not restrict the flue outlet
andthat the cap does not impede the outwardflow
of combustion gases.

The flue must end in a zone that is not affected by
surrounding buildings, trees or otherobstacles.

The flue outside the house must be insulated.

The chimney must be at least 4metres high.

As a ruleof thumb: 60cm above the ridge of the
roof.

If the ridge of the roof is more than 3metres away
from the flue: stick to the measurements in the
following figure. A = the highest point of the roof
within a distance of 3metres.

Ventilation of the area

For good combustion, the stove needs air (oxygen).
This air is supplied via adjustable air inlets from the
area in which the stove is installed.

The combustion will be incomplete in case of
insufficient ventilation, which results in toxic
gases being produced and spread through the
area.

As a ruleof thumb, the air supply should be 5,
5cm²/kW. Extra ventilation is needed when:

The stove is in an area that is well-insulated.

There is mechanical ventilation, for examplea
central extraction system or an extraction hoodin
an open kitchen.

You can provide extra ventilation by having a
ventilation louvre fitted on the outside wall.

Make sure that otherair consuming appliances (such
as tumble-driers, other heatingappliances or a
bathroom fan) have their own supply of outside air, or
areswitchedoff when you use the appliance.

You can also connect the appliance to an
outside airsupply. A connection kit is supplied
for this purpose. This makes additional
ventilation unnecessary.

Floors and walls

The flooron which the appliance is placed must have
sufficient bearing capacity. For the weight of the
appliance, see the appendix "Technical data".

Protect flammable flooring from heat radiation
by means of a fireproof protective plate. See
the appendix "Distance from combustible
material".

Remove combustible material such as
linoleum, carpets/rugs and similar materials
below the fireproof protective plate.

Keep sufficient distance between the
appliance and combustible materials such as
wooden walls and furniture.

The connecting tube also radiates heat. Ensure
that there is sufficient distance or a shield
between the connecting tubeand combustible

material.
The rule of thumbfor a single-walled tubeis a
distance of 3x the diameter. If a lining shell is
fitted around the tube, a distance of 1x the
diameter is permissible.

Carpets andrugs must be at least 80cm away
from the fire.

Use a fireproof floorplate to protect a
flammable floor from any ash which may fall in
front of the stove. The protective plate must
comply with national standards.

For the dimensions of the fireproof protective
plate: see the appendix "Distance from
combustible material".

For further requirements in connection with fire
safety: see the appendix "Distance from
combustible material".

connection. The appliance comes standardwith a
connection kit necessary for this.

The appliance can be connected to the chimney at
the rear or at the upper side.

The appliance is suitable for the burning of wood,
brown coal briquettes and anthracite coal.

The appliance is suppliedwith a scraper for
removing excess ash.

The appliance is suppliedwith a separate handle,
the so-called"cold hand", to operate the riddling
rod.

Installation

General preparation

Please check the appliance immediately after
delivery for damage causedduring transport or any
otherdamage or defects. Theappliance is attached
to the pallet with screws at the bottom.

If you detect damage caused duringtransport
or any other damage or defects, do not use the
appliance and notify the supplier.

Remove the removable parts from the appliance
before you start installing the appliance.

It is easier to move the appliance and to avoid
damage if the removable parts have been
removed.

Preparing the outside air
connection

If the appliance is installedin a room without sufficient
ventilation, you can install the connecting kit on the
appliance for the supply of outside air.

The airsupply tube is 100mm in diameter. If using a
smooth tube, it may be nolongerthan12metres long.
If accessories such as bends are used, the maximum
length (12metres)) must be reduced by 1metrefor
each accessory used.
