Installation by authorised
technician
This manual contains instructions about how
the stoves must be assembled and instal-
led. To ensure the function and safety of the
stove, we recommend that the installation is
carried out by an authorised technician. Con-
tact one of our dealers who can recommend
suitable technicians.
Building application
These main instructions may give guidance
which would contravene national building
regulations. Please refer to supplementary
instructions or ask your local authority for
advice regarding building regulations.
Before installing a stove or erecting a chim-
ney it is necessary for you to make a building
application permission to your local authority.
The owner of the house is personally re-
sponsible 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.
Structural support
Check that the wood joists are strong enough
to bear the weight of the stove and chim-
ney. The stove and chimney can usually be
placed on a normal wooden joist in a single
occupancy house if the total weight does not
exceed 400 kg.
Final inspection of the
installation
It is extremely important that the installa-
tion is inspected by an authorised chimney
sweep before the stove is used. Also read the
”Lighting instructions”, before lighting for the
first time.

The stove becomes very hot
During operation, certain surfaces of
the stove become very hot and can cause
burn injury if touched. Be aware of the
strong heat radiated through the hatch
glass. Placing flammable material closer
than the safe distance indicated may
cause a fire. Pyre lighting can cause
quick gas ignition with the risk of damage
to property and personal injury.
Connection to chimney
• The stove must be connected to chimneys dimensioned for a minimum
flue gas temperature of 400°C.
• The external diameter of the connection sleeve is 150 mm.
• Normal chimney draw under nominal operation should be between 20-25
Pa close to the connector. The draft 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 suitable cross section area is 150-200 cm²
(140-160 mm in diameter).
• 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.
• Carefully check that the chimney is sealed and that there is no leakage
around soot hatches and flue connections. See page 7.
Supply of combustion air
When a stove is installed in a room, the demand for air supply to the room
increases. Air can be provided indirectly via a vent in the outer wall or via a
duct from the outside that is connected to the connector on the under-
neath of the stove. The amount of air needed for combustion is 15 m3/h.
The connector for the combustion air has an external diameter of 67 mm.
When duct routing further than 1 m the pipe diameter must be increased
to 100 mm and a correspondingly larger wall vent must be selected.
In hot areas, the duct should be insulated with 30 mm mineral wool with a
moisture inhibiting outer cover. It is also important to seal around the hole
in the wall (or floor) of the lead-in using sealant.
A 1 m length of condensation insulated ducting for combustion air is avail-
able as an accessory.
