Safety
Please note: All safety regulations must be
complied with strictly.
Please read carefully the instructions supplied
with the appliance for installation, use and
maintenance before using the appliance.
The appliance must be installed in accordance
with the legislation and requirements applic-
able in your country.
All local regulations and the regulations relating
to national and European standards must be
observed when installing the appliance.
The appliance should preferably be installed by
an authorised installer. Installers will be aware
of the applicable regulations and requirements.
The appliance is designed for heating pur-
poses. All surfaces, including the glass and
connecting tube, can become very hot (over
100°C)! When operating, use a so-called "cold
hand" or an oven glove.
Ensure that the appliance is adequately
guarded if young children, disabled people, the
elderly or animals are present in the vicinity.
Safety distances from flammable materials
must be strictly adhered to.
Do not place any curtains, clothes, laundry or
other combustible materials on or near the appli-
ance.
When in use, do not use flammable or explos-
ive substances in the vicinity of the appliance.
Avoid chimney fires by having the chimney
swept regularly. Never burn wood with the door
open.
In the event of a chimney fire: close all the
appliance's air inlets and alert the fire service.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before the stove
is used again.
Do not exert force on the door, do not allow chil-
dren to pull on the opened door, never stand or
sit on the opened door and do not place heavy
objects on the door.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the
room in which the appliance is installed. If vent-
ilation is insufficient, combustion will be incom-
plete whereby toxic gases can spread through
the room. See the chapter "Installation require-
ments" for more information on ventilation.
Installation
requirements
General
The appliance must be connected tightly to a well-
functioning flue.
For connection measurements: see "Technical
data" appendix.
Ask the fire service and/or your insurance com-
pany about any specific requirements and reg-
ulations.
Flue
The flue is needed for:
Removal of combustion gases via natural draught.
As the warm air in the flue or chimney is lighter
than the outside air, it rises.
Air intake, needed for the combustion of fuel in the
appliance.
A poorly functioning flue or chimney can cause smoke
to escape into the room when the door is opened.
Damage caused by smoke emissions into the room is
not covered by the warranty.
Do not connect multiple appliances (such as a
boiler for central heating) to the same flue,
unless local or national regulations allow this.
In the event of two connections ensure that the
difference in height between the connections is
no less than 200 mm.
Ask your installer for advice regarding the flue. Refer
to the European norm EN13384 for a correct cal-
culation for the flue.
The flue must satisfy the following requirements:
The flue or chimney must be made of fire-resistant
material, preferably ceramics or stainless steel.

Subject to change because of technical improvements 9
The flue or chimney must be airtight and well
cleaned and guarantee sufficient draught.
A draught/vacuum of 15-20Pa during normal
operation is ideal.
Starting from the flue spigot, the flue must run as
vertically as possible. Changes in direction and
horizontal pieces disrupt the outward flow of com-
bustion gases and may cause soot deposits.
To prevent combustion gases from cooling down
too much, which reduces the draught, ensure that
the interior diameter is not too big.
The flue or chimney should ideally have the same
diameter as the connection collar.
For nominal diameter: see "Technical data"
appendix. If the smoke channel is well insu-
lated, the diameter may be slightly bigger (up to
2x the section of the connection collar).
The section (area ) of the smoke channel must be
constant. Wider segments and (in particular) nar-
rower segments disrupt the outward flow of com-
bustion gases.
In fitting a cover plate/exhaust cap to the flue:
make sure that the cover does not restrict the flue
outlet and that the cap does not impede the out-
ward flow of combustion gases.
The flue must end in a zone that is not affected by
surrounding buildings, trees or other obstacles.
The flue outside the house must be insulated.
The flue should be at least 4metres high.
As a rule of thumb: 60cm above the ridge of the
roof.
If the ridge of the roof is more than 3metres from
the flue: use the measurements given in the fol-
lowing figure. A = the highest point of the roof
within a distance of 3metres.
Room ventilation
For good combustion, the appliance needs air (oxy-
gen). This air is supplied via adjustable air inlets from
the area in which the appliance is installed.
If ventilation is insufficient, combustion will be
incomplete, which may lead toxic gases to
spread through the room.
As a rule of thumb, the air supply should be
5.5cm²/kW. Extra ventilation is needed when:
The appliance is in a well-insulated area.
There is mechanical ventilation, for example a cent-
ral extraction system or an extraction hood in an
open kitchen.
You can provide extra ventilation by having a vent-
ilation louvre fitted on the outside wall.
Make sure that other air consuming appliances (such
as tumble-driers, other heating appliances or a bath-
room fan) have their own supply of outside air, or are
switched off when you use the appliance.
You can also connect the appliance to an outside air
supply. A connection kit is supplied for this purpose.
This makes additional ventilation unnecessary.
Floor and walls
The floor on which the appliance is placed must have
sufficient bearing capacity. The weight of the appli-
ance is given in the appendix “Technical Data
appendix”.
There may not be any electrical wires in the
floor below the appliance and in the walls
around it.

10 Subject to change because of technical improvements
All flammable materials must be removed from
under the appliance or protected by at least a 6
cm concrete slab.
Flammable walls bordering the appliance must
be protected by at least a 10 cm stone wall and
5 cm insulation.
Protect non-flammable walls bordering the
appliance with at least 2.5 cm insulation to
avoid cracking.
Protect a flammable floor from heat radiation
and falling ash by means of a fireproof pro-
tective plate. See the appendix "Distance from
combustible material".
Keep enough distance between the appliance
and combustible materials such as furniture.
Ensure sufficient ventilation around flammable
materials such as a mantelpiece. See
appendix "Distance from combustible mater-
ial".
Carpets and rugs must be at least 80cm away
from the fire.
Do not place any flammable materials within
50 cm of any convection outlets.

Features of the appliance
The appliance is supplied with a connecting kit for
the outside air supply.
The appliance is not suitable for continuous use.
The insert fireplace has an integrated convection
system. This means that when installing the appli-
ance it is not necessary for a separate convection

space to be built and the use of air inlet and outlet
grates for convection is not necessary.
The space between the hearth and the steel
convection cabinet serves as convection
space. Surrounding air is drawn in at the bot-
tom of the appliance. The air is directed to the
fireplace where it is heated. The heated air then
leaves the front side of the convection space
through the air opening on the upper side of the
fireplace.
The appliance is equipped with two additional con-
nections in order to transport convection heat to
other areas.
The appliance is equipped with two built-in fans
that aid convection. The turning speed of the fans
can be adjusted using a speed control. This speed
control is supplied with the appliance. The fan and
speed control are connected to the mains electric
circuit; see paragraph "Connecting fan to the
mains".
The fan works thermostatically. That means
that the fan only starts to operate if the
insert fireplace is sufficiently warm and the
fan switches off once the insert fireplace
has cooled sufficiently.
The appliance can be delivered with an outside
frame.
Installation
Preparation
Please check the appliance for damage caused dur-
ing transport or any damage or defects immediately
after delivery.
If you detect transport damage or any other
damage or defects, do not use the appliance
and notify the supplier.
Remove the removable parts (fire-resistant inner
plates, fire grate, ashtray, fire basket and stove
base plate) from the stove before starting install-
ation.
By removing removable parts, it is easier to
move the appliance and to avoid damage.
Note the location of the removable parts, so
that you can re-position the parts in the correct
place later on.
1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Remove the fire-resistant inner plates.
Vermiculite inner plates are light and tend to be
ochrous in colour on delivery. They insulate the
combustion chamber to boost combustion.

Connecting the fan to the mains
The fireplace insert is supplied with two built-in fans
and with a separate revolution control unit. In addition,
the appliance is equipped with a thermostat switch
that switches on and off the fan at a fixed indicated
temperature.
The fans can be easily disconnected electrically by
the use of a plug, so that the fan plate can be
removed.
These parts must be connected to the mains accord-
ing to the connection scheme in appendix 2.
The connection diagram is specific to the
model.
Have the connection made by a qualified
installer.
The fireplace insert is provided with a three-
core cable.
The fireplace insert must be isolated from the
mains by a 2-pole switch.
Ensure that the fireplace insert is properly
earthed.

09-200021-234
1. Remove the two push-out plates on top of the con-
vection box by tapping them loose with a hammer.
2. Attach the two included connection collars (1) with
125mm diameter to the resulting openings with
the provided M8x16 bolts and M8 nuts.
3. Connect flexible piping of 125mm diameter to
these collars and route them to the desired areas.
4. Connect the flexible tubing to the outlet grates in
the rooms.
5. If desired, the front outlet opening can be closed
with the provided cover plate (2). Remove the two
screws at the top of the appliance and attach the
cover plate using these screws.
Building the new hearth
Inside the hearth you provide space for convection. In
this space the air must be able to move freely. It must
be possible for air to be sucked in for combustion, and
the air heated by the fireplace (the convection air)
must be able to flow freely into the area to be heated;
see next figure.
When building the hearth, follow these instruc-
tions:
The top of the hearth must be closed airtight using
a cover plate of incombustible and heat-resistant
material.
The cover plate must be level and placed at least
30 cm below the flue opening in the ceiling.
If desired, an additional outlet grate can be fitted at
the top of the hearth, just below the cover plate.
Do not use combustible material in the hearth
space and prevent thermal bridging by using

Subject to change because of technical improvements 15
materials that conduct heat.
Follow the instruction below when building the
hearth:
1. Lay the floor of the hearth.
Make sure the door of the appliance can swing
freely over the hearth floor.
2. Build the hearth up to the smoke dome.
Ensure that a clearance of 2 mm is maintained
between the appliance and the masonry to
accommodate the thermal expansion of the fire-
place.
3. The inside of the hearth may, if desired, be clad-
ded with reflective, insulating material.
Additional cladding of the built-in space pre-
vents unnecessary thermal radiation to outer
walls and/or adjacent rooms. It also prevents
damage to the hearth wall insulation.
4. Build the rest of the hearth up to the flue opening
hole in the ceiling.
The masonry should not rest on the fireplace.
Use a support such as a steel beam. Leave a
clearance of at least 3 mm between the sup-
port and the appliance.
5. Close the built-in space with the cover plate.
6. Put an air grate below the cover plate to allow for
the ventilation of the appliance.
7. Make an opening above the cover plate in order to
prevent any pressure build-up.

dry before you start to use the appliance.

Subject to change because of technical improvements 17
Never use the appliance without the fire-res-
istant inner plates.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Use
First use
When you use the appliance for the first time, make
an intense fire and keep it going for a good few hours.
This will cure the heat-resistant paint finish. This may
result in some smoke and odours. You could open win-
dows and doors for a while in the area in which the
appliance is located.
Fuel
This appliance is only suitable for burning natural
wood; sawn and chopped wood that is sufficiently dry.
Do not use other fuels, as they can cause serious
damage to the appliance.
The following fuels may not be used as they pollute
the environment, and because they heavily pollute the
appliance and flue, which may lead to a chimney fire:
Treated wood, such as scrap wood, painted wood,
impregnated wood, preserved wood, plywood and
chipboard.
Plastics, scrap paper and domestic waste.
Wood
Hardwood, such as oak, beech, birch and fruit tree
wood is the ideal fuel for your stove. This type of
wood burns slowly with calm flames. Softwood
contains more resins, burns faster and sparks
more.
Use seasoned wood that contains no more than
20% moisture. The wood should have been
seasoned for at least 2 years. Wood with a mois-
ture content of 20% provides 4.2 kWh per kg wood.
Wood with a moisture content of 15% provides 4.4
kWh per kg wood. Freshly felled wood has a mois-
ture content of 60% and only provides 1.6 kWh per
kg wood.
Saw the wood to size and split it while it is still
fresh. Fresh wood is easier to split, and split wood
dries more easily. Store the wood under a roof
where the wind has free access.
Do not use damp wood. Damp logs do not produce
heat as all the energy is used in the evaporation of
moisture. This will result in a lot of smoke and soot
deposits on the appliance door and in the flue. The
water vapour will condense in the appliance and
can leak away through chinks in the stove, causing
black stains on the floor. It may also condense in
the chimney and form creosote. Creosote is a
highly flammable compound and may cause a chim-
ney fire.
Lighting
You can check whether the flue has sufficient draught
by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold
flue often has insufficient draught and consequently,
some smoke may escape into the room instead of up
the chimney. You can avoid this problem by lighting
the fire as described below.
1. Stack two layers of medium sized logs crosswise.
2. Stack two to three layers of kindling crosswise on
top of the logs.
3. Place a firelighter between the bottom layer of kind-
ling and light the firelighter according to the instruc-
tions on the packaging.

4. Close the door of the appliance and open the air
inlet; see “Adjusting the combustion air”.
5. Allow the fire develop into a good blaze until there
is a glowing bed of charcoal. You can then add fuel
and adjust the appliance, see the chapter "Stoking
with wood".

Burning wood
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Stack a few logs on the charcoal.
Open stacking
09-20500-017
If the logs are stacked openly, the wood will burn
quickly as the oxygen can reach each log easily. If
you want to use the stove for a short while, make an
open stack.
Compact stacking
09-20500-018
If the logs are stacked tightly, the wood will burn more
slowly as the oxygen can only reach some logs eas-
ily. If you want to burn wood for a longer period, make
a compact stack.
4. Close the door of the appliance.
5. Close the primary air inlet and leave the secondary
air inlet open. See “Adjusting the combustion
air”.
Do not fill the appliance by more than a third.
Maximum amount of wood
To stoke continuously at the rated power, wood must
be added every 45 minutes. If you use a smaller
amount of wood each time, you can add wood more
often. Each stove is designed to work with a specific
maximum amount of wood. If you use a larger quantity
of wood, the heat output increases. This can cause
the hearth to be overloaded and parts can be dam-
aged.
Allowable maximum amount of fuel when using wood
with a moisture content of 15%:
lVISTA 700i can be filled with a maximum of
2.25kg wood every 45 minutes.
lVISTA 800i can be filled with a maximum of
2.75kg wood every 45 minutes.
Do not fill the combustion chamber more that
one third full, and never stack wood above the
openings for secondary air.
Controlling air combustion

The appliance has one air slide that regulates both the
primary and the secondary air inlet. If the air slide is in
the left position, the primary and secondary air inlets
are open. As the air slide is slid more to the right, this
closes off the primary air inlet and then the secondary

air inlet. If the air slide is slid completely to the right, a
small air vent remains open to allow for post-com-
bustion under the baffle plate.

The primary air inlet regulates the air under the grate
(1). The air wash regulates the air in front of the inside
of the glass (2).
The secondary air inlet (3) allows for post-combustion
under the baffle plate.
The combustion air can be removed from the room (A)
or via a vertical (B) or horizontal (B’) outside air con-
nection.
Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
Regularly burn wood with intense roaring fires.
If you burn at a low setting frequently, tar and
creosote may be deposited in the flue. Tar and
creosote are highly combustible substances.
Thicker layers of these substances may catch
fire if the temperature in the flue increases sud-
denly. By allowing the fire to burn very
intensely regularly, layers of tar and creosote
will disappear.
Low intensity fires can also cause tar deposits
on the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is mild, it is bet-
ter to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low intensity fire for a long
period of time.
Regulate the air supply using the secondary air
inlet.
The secondary air inlet not only supplies air to
the fire but to the glass as well, so that it does
not quickly become dirty.
Open the primary air inlet for the time being if the air
supply by the secondary air inlet is inadequate or if
you want to fan the fire.
Topping up with a few logs regularly is better than
adding many logs in one go.
Extinguishing the fire
Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful sub-
stances will be released. For this reason, the fire
should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye on
the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be closed
once the fire has died completely.
Removing ash
After wood has been burnt, a relatively small amount
of ash remains. This ash bed is a good insulator for
the stove base plate and ensures better combustion.
Therefore, feel free to leave a layer of ash on the stove
base plate.
The flow of air through the stove base plate must not
be obstructed. Remove the excess ash regularly.
1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Scoop the excess ash from the appliance or use a
special ash vacuum cleaner to remove the excess
ash.
Always use an ash vacuum cleaner; using an
ordinary vacuum cleaner that has not been spe-
cially modified can cause serious damage to
an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
3. Open the hatch in the middle of the stove base
plate and remove the ash under the hatch and in
the ash container.
4. Replace the ash container, close the hatch and
close the door of the appliance.

Fog and mist
Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.
Resolving problems
Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to resolve
any problems in using the appliance.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.
Flue
In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the start of the heating season: have the chim-
ney swept by a recognised chimney sweep.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the chim-
ney checked for soot.
At the end of the heating season: close off the chim-
ney and plug with newspaper.
Cleaning and other regularly
maintenance
Do not clean the appliance when it is still
warm.
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a dry lint-
free cloth.
You can clean the appliance interior thoroughly at the
end of the heating season:
If necessary, first remove the fire-resistant inner
plates. See the chapter "Installation" for instruc-
tions on removing and installing the inner plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
Remove the baffle plate at the top of the appliance
and clean it.
Checking fire-resistant inner plates
The fire-resistant inner plates are consumables that
are subject to wear and tear. Vermiculite inner plates
are fragile. Do not knock the inner plates with logs.
Check the fire-resistant inner plates frequently and
replace them when necessary.
See the chapter "Installation" for instructions on
removing and installing the inner plates.
The insulating vermiculite or chamotte inner
plates may develop hairline cracks, but this
does not affect their performance adversely.
Cast-iron inner plates last a long time if you
remove frequently the ash that can accumulate
behind them. If accumulated ash behind the
cast-iron plate is not removed, the plate will no
longer be able to dissipate the heat to the sur-
roundings and this may cause the plate to warp
or crack.
Never use the appliance without the fire-res-
istant inner plates.
Cleaning the glass
Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass. Proceed
as follows:
1. Remove dust and loose soot with a dry cloth.
2. Clean the glass with stove glass cleaner:
a. Apply stove glass cleaner to a kitchen sponge,
rub down the entire glass surface and give the
cleaning agent time to react.
b. Remove the dirt with a moist cloth or kitchen
tissue.
3. Clean the glass again with a normal glass cleaning
product.
4. Rub the glass clean with a dry cloth or kitchen tis-
sue.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive products to
clean the glass.
Wear household gloves to protect your hands.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use appliance again.
Ensure that no stove glass cleaner runs
between the glass and the cast-iron door.
