Safety

Please note: All safety regulations must be
compliedwith strictly.

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

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

All local regulations andthe regulations relating
to national and European standards must be
observed wheninstalling the appliance.

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

The appliance is designed for heating
purposes. All surfaces, including the 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 adhered to strictly.

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

Don't use flammable orexplosive 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 broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use the appliance again.

Make sure there is adequate ventilationin the
room wherethe appliance is installed. If
ventilation is insufficient, combustion will be
incomplete resultingin toxic gases being
produced andspread through the room. See
the chapter "Installation requirements" for more
information onventilation.

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 your insurance
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 airin the flue orchimney is lighter
than the outside air, it rises.

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

A poorly-functioning flue 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 covered by the warranty.

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

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

The flue must satisfy the followingrequirements:

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

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

A draught/vacuum of 15-20Pa during normal
operation is 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 coolingdown
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. Wider segments and (in particular)
narrower segments disrupt the outward flow of
combustion gases.

When usinga cover plate or exhaust hood : make
sure that the cover does not restrict the flue outlet
andthat the cap does not impede the outward flow
of combustion gases.

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

The flue outside the house must be insulated.

The chimney must be at least 4metres high.

As a rule of 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 goodcombustion, the stove needs air (oxygen).
This air is supplied via adjustable airinlets 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 rule of 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 hood in
an open kitchen.

You can provide extra ventilationby 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. This makes additional
ventilation unnecessary.

Floors and walls

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

Protect flammableflooring 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 tube and combustible
material.
The rule of thumb for a single-walled tube is a
distance of 3x the diameter. If a lining shell is
fitted around the tube, a distance of 1x the
diameter is permissible.

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

Use a fireproof floor plate 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".

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

Remove the removable parts (fire-resistant inner
plates, fire grate, top plate, ash pan) 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.

Note the location of the removableparts, so
that you can re-position the parts in the correct
place lateron.

1. Open the door; see the followingfigure.

2. Remove the fire-resistant inner plates; see the
following figure.

Vermiculite inner plates are light andtendto be
ochrous in colouron delivery. They insulate the
combustion chamber to boost combustion.
Cast iron inner plates protect the combustion
chamber and dissipate heat to the
surroundings.

Preparing the outside air
connection

If the appliance is installed in a room without sufficient
ventilation, you can install the connecting kit on the
appliance for the outside air supply. Some of the air
inlets on the appliance must then be plugged with the
blanking material provided. We recommendapplying a
connection set that has a valve you can close when
the stove is not in use.

The airsupply tube is 100 mm in diameter. If the tube
is smooth, it may be no longer than 12 metres. If
accessories such as bends are used, the maximum

length (12 m) must be reduced by 1 m for each
accessory used.

1. Close the air inlet in the bottom plate with the
small cast-iron cover plates (1) and screws (2);
see following figure.

By closing the air inlet in the bottom plate you
prevent air being used for combustion from an
insufficiently ventilatedspace.

2. For connection to outside air via the floor:
a. Make an opening in the floor; see 'Appendix 2,

Measurements' for the correct position of the
opening.

b. Connect the foot hermetically to the floor using

a rubber seal.

c. Slide a straight air supply tube onto the

connection collar of the stove, so that it cannot
move; see following figure .

3. For connection to outside air via the rear of the
appliance:
a. Create an opening in the base or the log

compartment by removing the panel at the
back of the base or the logcompartment; see
following figures.

Depending on the version of the stove the
cover plate is affixed either with springy
clips or with a washer plate. In case of a
springfixing use a screwdriverto lift the
cover plate out of its groove.

b. Connect a so-called 'elbow' hermetically to the

opening in the base orthe logcompartment so
that it cannot move; see following figure.

The height for the connection through the
wall may vary dependingon the elbow
type.
