A warm welcome to Contura.
A warm welcome to the Contura family. We hope you will
get a great deal of pleasure from your new stove. As a new
owner of a Contura stove you have secured a product with
timeless design and long service life.
The Contura is not only an efficient source of heat, but it
is environmentally friendly as well.
Read through these installation instructions carefully
before installation. Read how to best light your stove in
the lighting instructions.
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! WARNING!
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.

to be moved or if the pillar foot is
to be installed, remove any loose
components. When the stove is
installed reinstall the components in
reverse order.

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
Before installing a stove or erecting a
chimney it is necessary for you to make
a building application permission to your
local authority. Ask your local authority for
advice regarding building regulations and
the application.
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, the stove
must be placed on a non-combustible
surface. If the floor under the stove is
flammable, it must be protected by a
hearth plate which covers at least 300 mm
to the front and 100 mm along each side.
The hearth plate can consist of natural
stone, concrete, metal or glass. A painted
metal or glass hearth plate is available as
an accessory for these models.
Important to remember!

CHIMNEY

Ø
ca 180 mm
Rear connection to a masonry chimney
Top connection to the 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.
The hot air grille must be installed before chimney top connection.
• 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 a 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.

SUPPLY AIR/ACCESSORY
Supply of combustion air
When a stove is installed in a room, the air supply demand to the
room increases. Air can be provided indirectly via a vent in the
outer wall or via a duct from the outside that is connected to the
connector on the underneath of the stove. The amount of air
needed for combustion is 25m3/h.
The connector has an external diameter of 67 mm. When duct
routing further than 1 m the pipe diameter must be increased to
100 mm and a correspondingly larger wall vent must be selected.
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.
A 1 m length of condensation insulated ducting for combustion air
is available as an accessory.
