2 Installation instructions
2.1 Warning to the user
All the local and national regulations, and in
particular those relating to national and European
standards, must be observed when installing the
appliance.
An incorrectly installed heating appliance can
cause serious accidents (chimney fires, burning of
plastic insulation materials, in partition walls, etc.).The
insulation of both the appliance and the exhaust
gas pipe has to be reinforced and done according to
the Standards and the Building Regulations for safety
reasons. The installation must be carried out according
to the Standards and the Building Regulations.Failure
torespectthemanufacturer’sinstructionswill invalidate
the warranty.
The manufacturer’s responsibility shall be limited to the
supply of the appliance.
2.2 Location of the unit
Ventilation : For satisfactory appliance operation with
a natural draught, check that sufficient air for
combustion is available in the room. In houses
equipped with one VMC (controlled mechanical
ventilation), this one aspire and renew the ambient air;
in this case, the residence is under slight low pressure
and a non-sealable external air intake must be installed
in addition to the chimney itself, at least 50cm² in
section.
Position of the unit : For new installations, select a
centralpositionwithin the house, toprovide a good heat
distribution around the building. The heat distribution
towards the other rooms will be made through the
communicating doors. These rooms must be at low
pressure or fitted with non-adjustable air registers,
placed so that they cannot be obstructed, to encourage
circulation of the hot air.
Floor and walls : Make sure there are not combustible
or covered with combustible material. Otherwise it must
necessary to install a non-combustible protection.
There must be a clearance of at least 150 mm at each
side of the appliance and at the back of the appliance
from a
non-combustible
wall. This distance
must be extended to
a minimum clearance
of 900 mm side and
700 back from any
c o m b u s t i b l e
materials. This
measurement may be
reduced to a
minimum gap of
50 mm when the
non-combustible wall
is at least 200 mm
thick.
When using a single
wall flue pipe, there
must be a clearance
(A) of at least three
times its diameter (B)
from any combustible materials. If the appliance has to
be located in an opening, this distance must be
extended to a minimum clearance (A) of 450 mm from
thepipeor the stove bodytoanycombustiblematerials.
Hearth : The appliance must stand on a fireproof
hearth.It is possible to provide a hearth made of non
combusible board/sheet material or tiles at least 12 mm
thick (C).Constructional hearths should be constructed
of solid non combustible material at least 125 mm thick
(including the thickness of any non combustible floor
underthe hearth).The hearthmust protrude at least300
mm in front of the stove and 150 mm each side.Hearths
are provided to prevent combustion appliances setting
fire to the building fabric and furnishings and to limit the
risk of people being accidentally burnt.
Therefore, they should be separated from adjacent
combustible materials and should be satisfactorily
delineatedfrom surrounding floorfinishes (carpets etc.)
as follows.
Combustible material should not be placed under a
constructional hearth for a solid fuel appliance within a
vertical distance of 250 mm from the upper surface of
thehearth, unless thereis an airspaceofat least 50mm
between the combustible material and the underside of
the hearth.
Where a superimposed hearth has been placed onto a
constructional hearth, combustible material placed on
or besid the constructional hearth should not extend
under the superimposed hearth by more than 25 mm or
closer to the appliance than 150 mm.
Ensure that the hearth (superimposed or
constructional) is suitably delineated to discourage
combustible floor finishes from being laid too close to
the appliance, by marking the edges or providing a
change of level.
Position the appliance on the hearth such that
combustible marerial cannot be laid closer to the base
of the appliance than :
(a) At the front, 300 mm if the appliance is an open fire
or stove which an, when opened , be operated as an
open fire, or 225 mm in any other case ;
(b)At the back andsides, 150 mm orin accordance with
the recommendations below which relate to distance
