Manufacturer’s declaration
This product has been manufactured in
accordance with the documents that constitute
the basis for product certification and the
relevant criteria for production control.
Requirements relating to the flue
For both rear flue connections and top flue
connections the chimney must be able to
withstand temperatures of at least 350 °C.
Warning!
When the stove is in use certain surfaces
become very hot. Physical contact with these
surfaces can cause skin burns.
Pay particular attention also to the high tempe-
ratures of the heat radiated through the glass
door. Do not place combustible material closer
than the recommended safe distances. Failure
to observe these safe distances can result in
an uncontrolled fire.
A smouldering fire can cause gases and fumes
to ignite without warning, with the risk of cau-
sing damage to both persons and property.
IMPORTANT!
Always contact your local authority planning
office before installing a wood-burning stove
or fire-place.
The owner of the house is personally respon-
sible for ensuring compliance with the man-
datory safety requirements and must have the
installation approved by a qualified inspector.
Your local chimney sweep must also be infor-
med about the installation as this will affect
the routines for regular chimney-sweeping
services.

Building permission
It may be necessary for you to apply for building
permission from your local planning authority before
installing a stove or erecting a chimney. Before
starting installation work, make sure that you check
which regulations apply.
Structural support
Check to make sure that the floor is strong enough
to support the weight of the stove and chimney. If
you intend to locate the stove on standard wooden
floor joists, contact a professional builder to make
sure that the construction will withstand the load. If
the total weight does not exceed 400 kilos, it is not
usually necessary to reinforce the joists.
Floor plate
To protect the floor from sparks and falling embers
the stove must stand on a non-combustible surface
which extends at least 300 mm in front of the
stove and 100 mm along each side. As other
statutory requirements apply in some countries, we
recommend that you consult the relevant authority
or an authorised chimney-sweep in your area.
Chimney
The stove requires a draft in the chimney of at least
–12 Pa. The draught 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).
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. 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.

Position the stove on a hearth plate and check that
the installation distances given in the diagrams are
met. When top connecting a steel flue please refer to
the relevant manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Observe the safety distances to combustible material
that steel flues require.
The minimum distance between the stove opening
and combustible parts of the building or décor must
be at least 1 m.

Supply of combustion air
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 stove is to be placed.
Some installation alternatives are shown to the right.
When installing the supply air hose on the air inlet,
the heat deflector panel must be installed under the
insert.
The air duct connection on the stove has an external
diameter of Ø64 mm.
There are two knockouts on the stove for routing the
supply air hose, one in the back panel and one in the
base plate.

Important! 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. When pipe routing for
further than 1 m the pipe diameter must be increased
to 100 mm and a correspondingly larger wall vent
must be selected.
A 1 m length of condensation insulated ducting for
combustion air is available as an accessory.
