1.2 SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not place flammable objects within 110 cm of the radiation area of the appliance.
Pay special attention to furnishings and ornaments around the appliance.
• To ensure safe operation, the following minimum distances must be maintained
between the appliance and any combustible material at the side, rear and top of the
appliance (temperature ≤ 80 °C).
in respect of side wall: Distance minimal 30 cm
in respect of rear wall: Distance minimal 35 cm
in respect of top: Distance minimal 50 cm.
• The minimum distance between the side, rear and top of the appliance and a wall of
non-combustible material must be at least 5 cm.
• When placed on a combustible floor, a hearth of non-combustible material must be
placed underneath the appliance. This hearth shall extend at least 20 cm on each
side of the appliance. If the appliance is placed without the optional wood log storage
module, the hearth shall have a minimum thickness of 3 cm.
• When you use your appliance, the exterior will become hot. Always wear the glove
or use the accessories supplied when filling etc.
Protect yourself and others (especially children!) from burns. Do not leave children
unattended when the appliance is burning.
• Watch your clothing. Synthetic clothing in particular can easily catch fire and burn
intensely.
• Do not approach the appliance with flammable materials or liquids. Any work with
solvents, adhesives etc. in the space heated by the appliance can be very
dangerous.
• It is not allowed to connect the appliance to a flue which is already connected to
another appliance.
• Check the chimney. Cracks in the chimney may not only lead to damp, st aining
of walls and leaking of smoke, they can also impair the carrying off of smoke
.
• Prevent your chimney being soiled from above (birds’ nests etc.) by fitting a suitable
cap to the chimney pot.
• The appliance must be placed on a sufficient solid floor that can bear the weight of
the appliance. (see chapter 8 “Technical data”).
• Avoid chimney fires! Have your chimney swept at least once per year - more often
if you use your fire a lot. Prevent excessive deposits of soot inside the chimney by
not burning freshly-cut wood. Instead, burn clean, dry chopped wood.

3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
When fitting the stove, local and/or national regulations relating to fire safety must be
followed. In case of doubt, consult the fire safety department of the local fire brigade,
particularly if the stove is to be fitted in a home with walls and/or floors containing
flammable material.
Position the appliance sufficiently far away from the wall behind it, according to the data
from chapter 1.2. If the walls are not fire-proof, the distance should be such that the wall
in question cannot become hotter than 80°C, even when the stove is stoked up to high
temperatures. In case of doubt, insert a fire-proof protection shield.
The floor on which the appliance is placed must have sufficient bearing power.
The connection of several appliances to a single flue/chimney is not allowed.
3.2 CHIMNEY
Be sure that existing chimneys are completely air-tight and in good condition. In terms
of dimensions, the chimney must have a diameter of at least 150 mm for the entire
length (including the chimney pot).
Ensure that the chimney is fitted with an appropriate cap to avoid rain and dirt getting in
(as well as bird’s nests).
The draught flowing through the chimney determines how well your stove will burn
(minimum draught 0.12 mbar = 12 Pa; recommended draught 0.15 mbar: = 15 Pa).
In the event of problems, a solution may be a different chimney cap, if necessary one
with a chimney fan. Contact a specialist if you have any doubts about any of the above
points.
If your chimney is unsuitable, or if your home does not have a chimney, we recommend
the use of double-walled stainless steel chimney sections. Chimneys must comply with
the prevailing building regulations. Make sure the building is carried out by a specialist.
When purchasing such chimneys, be sure to check if a casing is required.
Important:
• Chimneys must be free-standing, i.e. they must not rest on the appliance itself.
• Any pipe connections that are not insulated must also be fully insulated.
• Flammable material must be kept clear (outside the casing/insulation zone) of all
through-feeds in the floor or wall (remember the roof decking).
• The chimney opening must be at least 5 metres above the top of the door opening of
your appliance.
• The chimney must protrude at least 40 cm above the apex of a sloping roof and at
least 1 metre above a flat roof. In short, the chimney must always end in an area with
a negative air pressure. Contact your local chimney sweep for the exact dimensions
of the chimney opening.

14
BOX 75
Installation instructions
Between the stove and chimney, use thick-walled smoke piping (Steel, ≥2 mm). See
Chapter 2.2.
The first pipe connected to the appliance must have a diameter of 130 mm at both ends.
This will prevent any condensation from the chimney running over the external end
of the pipe. Connect the pipes to the existing chimney (ceiling) using a sliding sleeve
(niche pipe). Check all connections for air-tightness.
If there is too much draught running through your chimney (e.g. if the chimney is long
and straight in a tall building), it may be possible to insert a chimney valve in the pipe
near the appliance. Before doing this, be sure to obtain sound advice from a specialist.
Do not make any horizontal connections. Deposits and soot will accumulate here
(unless it is a short horizontal connection directly behind the stove).
Avoid bends at all costs. The maximum deviation from the perpendicular is 45°.
The chimney calculation, as in Germany, is made according to DIN 4705 parts 1 and 2.
The mass flow and exhaust temperature of the stove
The mass flow and exhaust temperature of the stove are shown in chapter 8;
Technical Data. These values are important to consider when assessing the dimensions
of the flue to which the stove is to be connected.
Cleaning the chimney/flue
Make sure your chimney/flue is cleaned at least once a year by a recognized chimney
sweep.
If the chimney has a chimney valve, the free opening in the chimney valve flap must
measure at least 12% of the surface.
3.3 COMBUSTION AIR
Combustion air is needed to keep the combustion going by drawing in air from the
room, of directly from outside, due to the natural draught of the chimney.
On delivery, the appliance is prepared for a combustion air supply from the living room
or a combustion air supply directly from the outside, through the underside or through
the back of the appliance.
• Combustion air from the living-room:
The air inlet openings are located under the operating flap. When using the
appliance, please ensure there is a sufficient supply of fresh air: use a grate with a
minimum net opening in the outer wall of 150 cm2.
Make sure that the ventilation supply is open; this is particularly important with
today’s airtight dwellings.

15
BOX 75
Installation instructions
If the dwelling has mechanical ventilation that creates under pressure in the room
where the appliance is located, it is necessary to fit a flue gas fan.
The type of flue gas fan is dependent on the capacity of the mechanical ventilation
system. Always consult your fitter about this.
In dwellings with an operating extractor hood, this should be turned to the lowest
setting or turned off altogether. If the extractor hood remains in use, additional
ventilation must be provided in compensation. This will not only avoid poor
combustion, but will also prevent flue gases being sucked from the appliance into
the room.
Should creating an extra ventilation opening prove insufficient, it is then necessary
to fit a flue gas fan.
• Combustion air directly from outside:
The appliance now has a completely closed combustion syst em , which allows it to
operate independently of the surrounding air in the room where the appliance is
located.
The combustion air supply can be connected to the back or the underside of the
appliance. To do this, use combustion air connection Ø125 mm (exterior) for the back
or underside. Install a fixed or flexible pipe of Ø125 mm in the wall/floor between this
air supply connection and outside air supply inlet. We recommend that this pipe is
fitted with a sealing valve in order to prevent condensation in the appliance when it
is not in use.

16
BOX 75
Installation instructions
3.4 FITTING THE STOVE
3.4.1 Positioning
The appliance can make use of either a top or rear connection Ø150 mm for the flue
(chimney).
This connection is intended for steel stovepipes, double/single-skinned stainless steel
(insulated) flues or double/single-skinned flexible stainless steel flues.
Situate the appliance in such a way that the flue gas outlet is precisely in line under the
chimney connection (niche pipe) in the ceiling (top connection) or with the chimney
connection (niche pipe) in the wall (rear connection).
Level off the appliance using the adjustable feet (not for Box with wood log storage
module"). The adjustable feet are accessible from the combustion chamber. To do this
remove the steel sheets on both sides of the grate. Using an Allen key no. 4 to set the
adjustable feet on the correct height.
If the appliance is placed on a natural stone platform, the following must be considered:
- Place the appliance approximately 3 mm above the platform by means of the
adjustable feet.
- The platform must have minimum thickness of 3 cm.
- The platform must support the weight of the appliance directly underneath it.
- Ask your natural stone dealer for additional advice regarding the speci#c type of
stone in combination with the appliance.
When placed on a surface of combustible material, an insulating plate of at least 3 cm
thickness between the appliance and the combustible material must be placed.

17
BOX 75
Installation instructions
3.4.2 Connecting to the chimney
Ceiling connection:
Insert a pipe into the sliding sleeve (niche pipe) to the ceiling as deep as possible.
Position a chimney pipe on the top plate and mark off where the top pipe should be
shortened.
Shorten the top pipe and insert it, once more, as deep as possible into the sliding sleeve
in the ceiling. Position the lower pipe over the sealing washer. Now pull the top pipe
down and over the bottom pipe.
Wall connection:
Determine the length of pipe required and push this as far as possible into the sliding
sleeve before the appliance is placed.
Once the appliance is placed, you can pull the pipe from the sliding sleeve and slide it
over the connection ring on the appliance.
Any seams in the flue gas outlet (pipes) joints should be
sealed with a heat-resistant kit that remains elastic or
with a glass-fibre cord.
