Introduction

Congratulations on your new Lotus Fire.

We hope and believe that it will give you many hours of warmth. Before you
really start enjoying your investment, please read these instructions thoroughly.
They provide important advice to ensure you derive great enjoyment from your
fire, both now and in the future.

First produced in 1979, Lotus wood-burning stoves boast a long history. The
stoves are manufactured in Langeskov on Funen and exported to many
European countries. So congratulations once again on your new Lotus fire,
which is certain to mark the start of a new, cosy life for you.

Installing the fire

Before installing and igniting the new fire, ensure that you take the time to read
these pages thoroughly.

Please ensure that all the necessary national and European standards and
regulations are complied with. Your Lotus dealer or your local chimney sweep
can provide you with the correct information.

Safety information

Burning wood releases thermal energy, which causes the surfaces, door, viewing
window, flue tubes and front panel of the stove to become very hot; please do not
touch these parts.
(Please use the enclosed heat-protection glove)

The plinth

Before installing the fire, ensure that your floor is capable of bearing the weight of
your fire. If this is not the case, you must take suitable measures to ensure the load­bearing capacity of your floor (e.g. a load distribution plate).

Flooring made of combustible materials must be protected by a non-combustible
covering around the opening of the fire. The non-combustible covering must extend
at least 50cm to the front and 30cm to each side of the opening of the fire.

The fire is ready to install and must be connected to your existing chimney with
a connector. The connector should be as short as possible, straight, horizontal or
slightly upwardly inclined. The connections should be sealed.

It must also be ensured that there is sufficient space to service the fire and clean
the connector.

It must be ensured that there is a sufficient air flow for combustion. This is
particularly important where there are tightly sealed windows and doors
(sealing lips). Air grilles should be positioned in such a way that they cannot
become blocked.

Replacement parts:

Only replacement parts expressly authorised or supplied by Lotus A/S may be
used. Where necessary, please contact your specialist dealer.

The fire must not be modified in any way!

The chimney dimensions should correspond to DIN 4705 T1, T2 or 13 13384-1,
or to the regulations pertaining in your country.

.

H586 was tested as an intermittent-burning fire.

The fire may be connected to multiple chimneys.

insulation.

All mounted installations require ventilation.
The surround must provide openings for convection airflow.
Insufficient convection can result in damage to the surround/fire.
The illustration below shows the minimum permissible dimensions

to ensure sufficient
insulation/ventilation.

Convection air inlet: 400cm²
convection air outlet: 750cm²
Insulating material: any AGI Q132­approved insulation materials may be
