WARNING!
The insert becomes very hot
During operation, certain surfaces of the insert become
very hot and can cause burn injuries if touched. Also,
take heed of the strong heat radiated through the door
glass. Placing flammable material closer than the safe
distance indicated may cause a fire. Smoulder combustion
can cause quick gas ignition with the risk of damage to
property and personal injury.
NOTE:
Report the installation of a fireplace to
your local authority.
The owner of the house 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.
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 insert.
As a new owner of a Contura insert, you have secured
a product with timeless design and long service life.
Contura also has a combustion process that is both
environmentally friendly and efficient, for the best heat
production.
Read through these installation instructions carefully
before installation. Read how to best light your stove in
the lighting instructions.

FACTS
Floor plate
If the floor under the stove is flammable,
it must be protected by a non-flammable
material e.g. natural stone, concrete or 0.7
mm thick metal. The floor in front of the
hearth opening must be protected against
any falling embers using non-flammable
material that covers an area at least 300
mm in front and 100 mm along each side
of the hatch opening. A toughened glass
hearth plate is available as an accessory.
Application to local authority
Before installing a stove or erecting a
chimney, it is necessary for you to make
an application for permission to your
local authority. Ask your local authority
for advice regarding regulations and the
application.
General
This manual contains instructions about
how Contura i30 must be assembled
and installed. To ensure the function
and safety of the insert, we recommend
that installation is carried out by an
authorised technician. Our Contura dealers
can recommend suitable technicians,
information about our dealers can be found
at www.contura.eu
Instructions for lighting are also supplied
with the insert. Read them carefully and
keep them safe for future use.
Structural support
Check that floor joists have the sufficient
load capacity for the insert, chimney and
construction parts that are used when
recessing.

The hatch runners are lubricated at the factory,
with special grease that can withstand high
temperatures. This type of grease is usually
difficult to find on the market and we recommend
contacting a Contura dealer to order this special
grease when lubricating the runners.

INSTALLATION
Supply of combustion air
Supply air from open air must be provided. Combustion air can be
provided directly via a duct from outside, or indirectly via a vent in
the outer wall of the room where the insert is placed. The amount
of combustion air that is used for combustion is approx. 30 m3/h.
Some installation alternatives are shown below. The air duct
connection on the insert has an external diameter of Ø100 mm.
In hot areas, the duct should be insulated with 30 mm mineral
wool covered with a moisture inhibitor for example, aluminium
tape. 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.
Ensure that the installation meets national and regional
regulations. The installation must be approved by an authorized
inspection body.

285
GB
94
The insert is type approved for and must be connected to a
chimney dimensioned for a flue temperature of 350°C, the
external connection diameter is 150 mm.
The insert 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. Carefully check that
the chimney is sealed and that there is no leakage around soot
hatches and flue connections.
Note that a flue with sharp bends and horizontal routing reduces
the draught in the chimney. The 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.
If two fireplaces are connected to the same chimney flue, the
stove must be equipped with self-closing door.
Chimney
CHIMNEY
Self-closing door
The insert can be supplied with a self-closing door. Fold out the
three tabs on the counterweight pack. Lift out the counterweight,
which is equipped with a handle. Check the function, note that
during lighting the self-closing effect increases. Fold in the three
tabs again to keep the counterweights in place.
Rearward connection
For the rearward connection it is recommended to
use a 45 ° +45 ° angle with soot hatch and with the
centre at least 285 mm above the connector.
It is important that sweeping can be carried
out through convection grates or a hatch in the
surround.

GB
95
Convection air
The building material must not be combustible.
The thermal conductivity coefficient λmay be a maximum of 0.14
W/mK.
The thickness of the building material must always be at least 100
mm.
In cases where the building material’s insulation properties are
given as a U-Value, this must be a maximum of 1.4 W/ m²K.
Material requirements
The convection air ventilates the surround, cools the insert and
transports the hot air out into the room. The effective cross
section area on the air intake and exhaust must not be less than
the stated values. The air intake must be positioned somewhere
between the floor and the bottom of the insert, at the front or
on the sides of the recess. The vent must be positioned above the
insert’s highest point at the front or to the sides of the recess.
If the air intake respectively the vent is positioned on the sides,
the areas for the left respectively right sides must be the same
size to ensure the insert is evenly cooled.
Observe the minimum distance up to the ceiling (see diagram on
page 97).
Convection air in: 600 cm²
Convection air out: 600 cm²
If the convection outlets are directed upwards the following
applies
- the recess must be free-standing or placed against a
non-combustible wall.
- the distance from the air outlet to combustible roof must be at
least 750 mm.
Note that building regulations apply regarding the area below and
in front of the insert, see section ”Hearth plate”.
When recessing the insert, adjacent walls that are not classed
as fire walls, or are considered unsuitable for heat loads must
be protected by non-combustible material according to the
specification below.
All joints on the non-combustible material must be sealed using
the manufacturer’s recommended method. The area between
the insert and the recess must be ventilated according to the
specification/dimension diagrams on page 97
When connecting a steel flue, please refer to the particular
manufacturer's installation instructions. Observe the safety
distance to combustible material required by the steel flue Heat
radiation from the hatch is strong and is why combustible material
must not be placed closer than 1.5 m in front of the hatch. When
recessing, building material must not be in direct contact with the
insert due to the thermal expansion of the insert.
Note that building regulations apply regarding the area below and
in front of the insert, see section ”Hearth plate”.
Recessing the insert
List of suitable materials:
Aerated concrete λ = 0,12-0,14
Vermiculite λ = 0,12-0,14
Calcium silicate λ = 0.09
RECESSING THE INSERT
Service
Access to the damper and counterweight must be ensured via
doors or ventilation grilles in the surround.
Sealing
The recess must not go all the way up to the ceiling, leave an air
gap of at least 20 mm closest to the ceiling. The recess must be
sealed off above the convection exhaust. The seal must be 100
mm above the convection exhaust’s upper edge and must be made
of 100 mm non-flammable material according to the material
requirements above. Use heat-resistant silicone, for example,
between the seal and chimney.

RECESSING THE INSERT
It is extremely important that the installation is inspected by an authorised inspection body
before the stove is used. Also read the "Lighting instructions" before lighting for the first time.
