WARNING!
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.

Structural support
Check to make sure that the floor is strong enough
to support the weight of the stove and chimney. If
you intend to locate the stove on standard wooden
floor joists, contact a professional builder to make
sure that the construction will withstand the load. If
the total weight does not exceed 400 kilos, it is not
usually necessary to reinforce the joists.
Floor plate
To protect the floor from sparks and falling embers
the stove must stand on a non-combustible surface
which extends at least 300 mm in front of the stove
and 100 mm along each side. As other statutory
requirements apply in some countries, we recom-
mend that you consult the relevant authority or an
authorised chimney-sweep in your area.
Chimney
The draught in the chimney must generate a neg ative
pressure of at least 12 Pa. The draught is affected
both by the length and cross-sectional area of the
chimney, and by how well sealed the construction
is. The shortest recommended chimney length is
3.5 metres. The cross-sectional area of the chimney
must be approximately 150–200 cm² (140–160 mm
in diameter).
Make sure that there are no gaps around soot hatch-
e s and flue-pipe connections.
Remember that the draught is reduced in flues with
sharp bends or horizontal sections. A horizontal flue
length of up to 1.0 metre is permissible, provided
that the vertical flue is at least 5.0 metres in height.
It must be possible to clean the flue throughout its
entire length, and the soot hatches must be easily
accessible.

Air supply
Combustion air for the stove can be supplied
through a duct directly from outside, or indirectly
through a vent in the wall of the room where the
stove is installed.
The drawings on the right show various alternative
methods of supplying the stove with air.
The air duct connection on the stove has an external
diameter of 64 mm.
The stove has two partly punched covers to provide
the option of leading the air supply duct through the
rear panel or the base-plate.
Remove the partly punched metal cover with a
hammer.

To prevent condensation in air ducts which pass
through heated areas, the duct must be insulated
with 30 mm of mineral wool covered with a proprie-
tary moisture seal (plastic vapour diffusion retarder).
It is important to seal carefully around the duct
where it passes through the wall or floor. Use joint-
ing compound. For ducts longer than 1.0 metre, the
diameter must be increased to 100 mm, and the size
of the vent increased correspondingly.
A 1.0 metre length of insulated ducting for combus-
tion air is available as an optional extra.
Important!
When fitting a plinth or plinth drawer, the
punche d metal section in the rear panel must
be removed completely to allow a supply of
convectio n air to the stove.

Top flue connection to a chimney
When installing the chimney, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Below we explain how
to connect the chimney to the stove.
Top flue connection
Slide the flue base over the collar. Make sure that
the seal round the collar is not dislodged. If further
sealing material is required, heat-resistant sealant
may be used.
LEK
LEK
Fit the connecting sleeve between the stove and
the flue collar in the wall. Make sure that the gasket
does not work loose from its position. Seal the joint
between sleeve and collar with sealing rope, or use
heat-resistant sealant for a tighter seal.
Rear flue connection to a brick-lined chimney
Mark out the centre of the hole to be made in the wall for a rear flue connection. Check the height to make
sure that the hole aligns with the chimney connection on the rear of the stove.
Important!
When connecting to a top flue it is important to
fit the hot air vent in place before connecting
the chimney flue.
LEK
For rear-flue connections, use cutting pliers or nip-
pers
to cut away the covering cap in the heat
reflector and use a hammer to tap out the covering
cap in the rear panel, as shown.
Important!
The rear panel must be fitted to the stove before
connecting a rear flue. Please see “Assembling the
stove surround”.

Fitting the soapstone
560T
Stand the stove on the floor plate and check the safe installation distances. If the stove has a rear flue, connect
the stove to the chimney before fitting the soapstone surround. If, on the other hand, the stove has a top flue,
fit the soapstone surround first. Remember to fit the hot-air vent before connecting the stove to a top flue.
Unpack the soapstone top and side sections.
Always handle soapstone with care, especially the
edges, which are very sensitive to impact. Lay the
soapston e sides on expanded polystyrene on a
flat surface. Lay them end to end in two’s, with the
outside facing down. Squeeze three small blobs of
silicone onto the end of one of the two soapstone
sections. Press them together while they are lying
horizontal on the floor.
Lay the top frame on the top of the stove body, hoo-
