For reasons related to the manufacturing, dimensional variations may occur in relation to the
theoretical dimensions. This is due to manufacturing tolerances and requirements. Taking
into account the expansion of the different materials, the device is, in addition, subject to
slight deformations when burning hot.
However, these deformations don’t affect the good functioning of the device.

1 INSTALLATION GUIDE
1.1. RESPONSABILITIES
1.1.1. INSTALLATOR'S RESPONSABILITIES
The person or company that carries out the installation of the fireplace is responsible for
this installation and takes also the responsibility for the existing parts (chimney, flue…
They are hence expected to check the existing installation and to carry out the necessary
modifications to comply with the current regulations.
1.1.2.COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS
The instructions and recommendations of the guide come in addition to current
regulations. They do not replace them. We recommend that you familiarize yourself
with the documents mentioned below. The installation of the appliance must comply with
national regulations. The chimney flue to which the appliance will be connected must
comply with national regulations.
This fire appliance is in compliance with current standards, it's strictly forbidden to
modify the appliance in any way.
1.2. CHIMNEY FLUE
In the case of a chimney flue ending at the level of the ceiling, we draw your attention of
the following requirements:
- either a junction of the connecting duct and the chimney duct ensuring the tightness
and the thermal resistance of the installation ,
- sor appropriate casing of the throat at the stack base, following the rules of fire
spacing.
1.2.1. NEW FLUE DUCT
The duct must be made with materials in compliance with national current standards.
The duct must be able to sustain the maximum temperature of the appliance.
1.2.2. EXISTING FLUE DUCT
It must be checked that :
- - the compatibility of the duct with the use of wood as fuel,
- - the tightness and vacuity of the duct
- - it's stability.

20
If the duct is not suitable, it’s necessary to
-Either carry out a casing following a procedure with technical notice in favour of
this particular use,
-Install a duct lining,
-Or install a new duct adapted to this use.
The tubing can go descend to the nozzle of the appliance if it’s the same diameter
1.2.3. DIMENSIONS OF THE CHIMNEY FLUE DUCT
The chimney flue must have a minimum rectangular or square section of 400 cm² and a
length/width with ratio of less than 2 or an equivalent section of minimum hydraulic
diameter 200 Ø eq.mm . In this case of lining, this section can be brought back to 350
cm².
In the case of casing and under certain conditions, the minimum diameter can be
brought back to 180 mm. It’s highly recommended to have a duct of identical hydraulic
diameter as the vent, i.e. of diameter Ø int. mm (female nozzle Ø int). Moreover, the
top the chimney must be above the roof ridge by at least 40 cm. In any case, and in
order for the fireplace to operate properly, the draft (TI) of the duct must be between 10
and 30 pa ( 1 to 3 mm of water column). Outside these ranges, an insufficient draft will
lead to fume back drafts and an excessive draft will lead to runaway combustion and
fireplace damage.
The draft can be regulated using a draft moderator set to 2 mm of water column.
According to EN 13384-1 certification, all individual flues should be calculated under the
responsibility of the installer in order to justify the smooth operation of the installation.

Stella3H1000 9.5 m 7.7 m 5.8 m 4.9 m
The underlined value represent the height for the nozzle supplied standard on the
fireplaces..
1.2.4. DISTANCE OF THE CHIMNEY FLUE DUCT IN RELATION TO COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS
The minimum security space should been respected in conformity to DTU 24.1
certification and national regulation.
Even if the fire spacing requirements are followed, a supplementary insulation made with
M10 class insulating material will provide improved safety.
In the living spaces, the ducts may be covered with a dressing providing a thermal
insulation sufficient to limit the surface temperature to 50°C.
- Across attics and lofts: ducts must have suitable insulation in order not to exceed the
surface temperature of 80°C.
