WARNING!
The stove becomes very hot
During operation, certain surfaces of the stove become
very hot and can cause burn injury if touched. Be aware
of the strong heat radiated through the hatch glass.
Placing flammable material closer than the safe distance
indicated may cause a fire. Pyre lighting can cause quick
gas ignition with the risk of damage to property and
personal injury.
NOTE!
Report the installation of a stove to your
local authority.
The building owner is personally responsible for ensuring
compliance with the mandatory safety requirements
and must have the installation approved by a qualified
inspector. Your local chimney sweep must also be informed
about the installation as this will affect the routines for
regular chimney-sweeping services.

Installation by authorised
technician
This manual contains instructions about
how the stoves must be assembled and
installed. To ensure the function and
safety of the stove, we recommend
that the installation is carried out by an
authorised technician. Contact one of
our dealers who can recommend suitable
technicians.
Building application
These main instructions may give guidance
which would contravene national building
regulations. Please refer to supplementary
instructions or ask your local authority for
advice regarding building regulations.
Before installing a stove or erecting a
chimney it is necessary for you to make
a building application permission to your
local authority.
Structural support
Check that the wood joists are strong
enough to bear the weight of the stove
and chimney. The stove and chimney can
usually be placed on a normal wooden joist
in a single occupancy house if the total
weight does not exceed 400 kg.
Hearth plate
Due to the risk of falling embers, a
flammable floor must be protected by
a hearth plate. It must extend 300 mm
in front of the stove and 100 mm on
each side of the stove, or have a 200 mm
extension on each side of the opening. The
hearth plate can consist of natural stone,
concrete, metal plate or glass. A painted
metal or glass hearth plate is available as
an accessory for these models.

Connection to chimney
Rear connection to a masonry chimney
Make sure that the connector
gasket does not work loose when
the connection pipe is placed
on the connector. If further
sealing material is required, heat-
resistant sealant may be used.
The back panel must be installed before the stove is rear connected. Refer to the
chimney’s installation instructions to install the chimney. The following describes how
the chimney system is connected to the stove.
• The stove meets the requirements for connecting to chimneys
dimensioned for 350°C flue gas temperature.
• The external diameter of the connection sleeve is 150 mm.
• The stove requires a draft in the chimney of at least –12 Pa. The
draft is affected both by the length and area of the chimney, and
by how well sealed it is. Minimum recommended chimney length is
3.5 m and suitable cross section area is 150-200 cm² (140-160
mm in diameter).
• A flue with sharp bends and horizontal routing reduces the
draught in the chimney. Maximum horizontal flue is 1 m, on the
condition that the vertical flue length is at least 5 m.
• It must be possible to sweep the full length of the flue and the
soot hatches must be easily accessible.
• Carefully check that the chimney is sealed and that there is no
leakage around soot hatches and flue connections.
In the bag with these installation instructions
are two wing screws for the cover.

Through floor and wall-and-cavity foundation.
Supply of combustion air
Combustion air can be provided directly via a duct from outside, or
indirectly via a vent in the outer wall of the room where the stove is to be
placed.
Some installation alternatives are shown to the right.
Before fitting an air supply duct to the air inlet, the heat reflector under
the stove body must be removed.
The air duct connection on the stove has an external diameter of Ø64 mm.
The base plate has a punched hole to lead in the air supply hose. The hole
is offset in relation to the air inlet to give more space for the niche in the
base. This means that the supply air hose must be bent backwards slightly,
close to the bottom of the stove before it can be lead down through the
hole in the base plate.
Important! In hot areas, the duct should be insulated with 30
mm mineral wool covered with a moisture inhibitor (plastic). It
is important that the lead-in between the pipe and the wall (or
floor) is sealed using jointing compound. When duct routing for
further than 1 m the pipe diameter must be increased to 100
mm and a correspondingly larger wall vent must be selected.
A 1 m length of condensation insulated ducting for combustion
air is available as an accessory.

When installing the base plate (see page 28) check that the installation
distances given in the figures below are not fallen below. When top
connecting a steel flue please refer to the relevant manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
The start pipe must be uninsulated up to and including the seal at a
height of 1755 mm from the floor. From the seal upwards, 30 mm thick
mineral wool insulation must be placed around the start pipe up to
approx 2055 mm above the floor, where the fully insulated chimney
takes effect. Insulation for the pipe is supplied when the Premodul
chimney system is ordered.
Observe the safety distances to combustible material that steel flues
require.
The minimum distance to combustible parts of the building or interior
decoration must be at least 1 m.

Positioning the base plate
Position the base plate the correct distance from the wall as
specified on page 25. The centre of the hole in the base plate is
inline with the centre of the chimney. ”When installing against
non-flammable walls or protective screens, position the base
plate against the wall. Read the section ”Making holes in the
ceiling” and ”Installing the protective screen” below. Draw
on the floor around the base plate so that it stays in place
throughout the whole job. Carefully check that the base plate is
horizontal and that the wall is vertical so that the stove masonry
follows the wall.
Making holes in ceilings
For stoves with a top flue connection to a steel chimney, a
380x380 mm hole must be made in the ceiling.
Make sure that the centre of the hole is directly above the
centre of the hole in the base plate. Refer to the chimney’s
installation instructions to install the chimney.
Only the rear section of the ceiling seal should be installed at
this stage. It is important that the seal for the ceiling is centred
over the hole in the ceiling. The image shows the ceiling seal
belonging to the Premodul chimney system together with a
protective screen (accessory).
Installing the protective
screen
Screw the external steel profiles into place at the required
distance. A good aiming point is 1 meter, which is the width of
the hearth plate (accessory). Take care to install the protective
screen vertically. The vent holes should be positioned at the
ceiling and floor. The height of the two profiles is 2500 mm.
If the ceiling height is lower, the profiles can be cut to the
required height using a hacksaw or cutting nippers. The stamp
corresponds to 100 mm, see the figure.
Place the two remaining profiles so that they are between the
outer profiles. Cut the minerit boards to the desired width.
Position the minerit boards edge to edge with a bead of acrylic
sealant in the gap and screw them into place with the supplied
screws.
Do not install the upper board until the rear section of the
headlining seal has been installed.

Installing the lighting cable
Thread on the black grommet bushing onto the cable.
Installing legs and feet
Measure out the centre of the wall behind the masonry chimney. Draw
a line 150 mm to the left or the right of the centre. The heat resistant
lighting cable will be positioned along this line. The upper clamp is
screwed into place 2050 mm above the floor and the remainder are
evenly distributed down to the base plate. The cable end and socket
must be 650 mm long above the upper clamp.
Lay the stove body on its back on the pallet. Unscrew the eight screws
holding the legs and replace the existing legs with the wider, higher
legs supplied. Hand tighten the screws. Install the foot plate with the
six white screws.
Positioning the stove body
Position the stove body on the base plate with the rear edge of the
foot 25 mm from the rear edge of the base plate. Make sure that the
foot is centred and straight. Also check that the base plate has not
moved and that it is horizontal. When everything has been checked,
mark the base plate around the edge of the foot.
The heat reflecting plate must be fitted underneath the body
of the stove if the area below is to be used as a log-box. The
heat reflector can be removed by turning it to the left until
it slides free from the lower set of screws holding the legs in
place. The heat reflector is hooked back in place on the screws
by turning it to the right.
Screw from the inside of the legs into the foot plate mounting
lugs. Tighten the screws securing the legs in the stove body
when the stove has been raised and is standing on a flat
surface.
ASSEMBLY

GB
Installing the back plate
Break off the mounting fixtures from the lower edge of the
right-hand section of the back plate.
Lay the flat left-hand section of the back plate on the floor.
Installation is simplified if the back plate is mounted on some
boards or polystyrene strips. Position the left-hand section so
the row of holes along the edge faces to the right and the two
holes to the left are above the centre.
Apply two beads of silicone inside the screw holes on the reverse
of the right-hand side of the back plate.
Screw the right-hand section into place on the left-hand section
of the back plate. The mounting fixtures are secured by the
upper screws. The mounting fixtures are used to secure the
concrete plate at a later stage of the construction.
ASSEMBLY

Installing concrete surround and top connection
Check that there are no hairline cracks in the concrete plate before
starting installation.
During heating the metal sheet in the hearth plate expands. It is
important that the concrete surround is not in contact with the
hearth plate. Check that there is at least 2-3 mm distance between
the hearth plate and the concrete surround.
When installing the surround, the supplied silicone is used to bond
the concrete plates and the marble sheets and as a seal between
the back plate and the concrete. The space between the stove and
the protective screen behind it shall be filled with the acrylic filler
which can be painted.
The supplied fixer can be mixed with paint to give texture to the
painted surfaces. The fixer can also be used to touch up damage or
unevenness in the concrete plates. One part water mixed with two
parts fixer.

Because of the restricted space it is easier to paint the front
edge of the side plate before installation. Drill a Ø5 mm hole at
the bottom in a corner of one of the side plates. The hole is for
the grommet for the lighting cable.
Clean the surfaces to be bonded. Apply a bead of silicone to
the base plate and a thick bead of silicone at the bottom of the
groove on the inside of the side plate.
Check that the stove-body stands on the base plate correctly. Screw
the top frame into place on the stove body.
If at this stage the masonry stove leans in any direction the base
plate can be lifted carefully and spacers installed underneath.
Position the side plate on the base plate. Lift the top frame and
angle it to the side. Lower the top so that the back plate goes
into the groove and the lugs in the top frame go into the holes in
the side plate. Do the same on the other side

Clean the surfaces to be bonded. Apply a bead of silicone to the
lower side plate and a thick bead of silicone at the bottom of the
groove on the inside of the upper side plate.
For both rear connecting and top connecting stoves the sealing
plate and sealing insulation is positioned on the back plate
edge and the edge on the inside of the upper side plate. Make
sure that sealing insulation seals against the concrete and, if
applicable, start pipe.
Position the upper side plate on the lower side plate. Angle in
the upper side plate and hook it into place with the installation
fixture so that it will not fall.
If the stove is to be top connected the partly punched hole is
cut from the sealing plate. The start pipe is pressed on to the
connection. Make sure that the gasket does not work loose
from its position. If further sealing material is required, heat-
resistant sealant may be used.

For top connection the start pipe must be insulated using 30
mm thick insulation above the sealing plate. Pull the insulation
down over the start pipe but not the whole way. Refer to the
chimney’s installation instructions to install the chimney.
Place the eight olivine stones on the top frame. Check that they
are stable.
Apply silicone thickly to the joint to the height of the sealing
plate.
Place the niche plate in the groove on the top frame. Lift
the sealing plate slightly, angle in the niche plate and slide it
sideways against the upper side plate.
The same procedure is used to install the other side plate.Apply silicone thickly to the joint to the height of the sealing
plate.

If the stove is top connected, the insulation around the start pipe is pushed down towards the sealing insulation. Place the stop washer
on the ridge around the start pipe and thread the transfer insulation down. Install the first chimney module and the front half of the
ceiling seal and moulding. The insulation around the start pipe must cover the whole way from the sealing insulation up to the stop
washer. Refer to the chimney’s installation instructions to install the chimney.
Apply the silicone in beads on the upper side plate and the niche
plate. Place the top plate in position. Adjust the niche plate so
that it is centred and so that it is 4 mm inside the side plate
edges. Check that the top plate is correctly positioned, with
support lugs behind the niche plate.
Insert the white cable from the transformer box in through the
hole in the side. The transformer box is a combined transformer,
dimmer and switch which gives 0-12V alternating current.
Without stripping the cables, splice the white cable and the red cable using the red splice connector. Insert a core from each cable on each
side of the splice connector and press in the metal plate into the cables using pliers. Wrap the plastic tab around connection and snap it
shut. Do the same to the two remaining cores.
