In the case of Type 1 stoves the closing springs of the firebox
door must not be removed if such an appliance will be connected
to a chimney with multiple-connection facility. Classification as
Type 1 is determined by self-closing firebox doors. The firebox
doors must only be opened to add fuel and remove ash.
Otherwise the doors must be kept closed – even if the stove is
not operated – to avoid impairing other fireplaces and related
hazards.
Adequate fresh air supply to the installation room must be
guaranteed. Windows and doors of the installation room must
not seal too tightly because of the necessary combustion air
supply. Even when operating waste air systems (bathroom
extraction fans, vapour extraction in kitchens etc.) in your home
or in living units connected with the former it is imperative to
ensure the unobstructed flow of the required quantity of air to
the stove. If necessary, however, there is the possibility of the
oven on the outside air connection (Ø100mm) external
combustion air supply (see picture on page 4 in section 5.2).
Caution! The wood stove must not be operated jointly with
controlled home ventilation systems.
The operation of stoves is not threatened if the systems circulate
air only within a room or the systems have safety installations
which automatically and reliably prevent a vacuum in the
installation room. It is imperative to clarify adequate
combustion air supply with your master chimney sweep.
By burning fuel, heat energy is liberated resulting in intense
heating of the surfaces of the heating appliance (doors, door and
operating handles, view window panes, side walls, front walls,
flue pipes). Touching these parts without suitable heat
protection gloves should be avoided! A heat protection glove is
supplied with the chimney stove.
When heating your wood stove do not wear any wide or
inflammable items of clothing!
Explain these dangers to children and keep them away from the
fireplace during heating.
If incorrect or over-moist fuel is used a chimney fire may result
due to deposits in the chimney. Immediately seal all air openings
in the stove and notify the fire brigade. Once the fire in the
chimney has died down have it inspected by a specialist for
cracks and leaks.
3. Data for calculating the chimney dimensions
according to DIN 4705 Part 2
The data to calculate the chimney dimensions according to DIN
4705 Part 2 can be found in the enclosed Equipment Sheet.
4. Installing and connecting the wood stove to the
chimney
Your new wood stove is optimally protected against damage by
the packaging. However, damages to stove or accessories may
have occurred during the transport despite this. For this reason
it is necessary to check your wood stove for damages
and completeness after unpacking! Immediately report any
defects to your specialist stove dealer!
Note:
Draft baffle plates that are loose or have slipped from the
anchorage are not considered defects (see Chapter 5.2. Initial
start-up of your chimney stove).
The packaging of your wood stove is largely environmentally
neutral. The wood of the packaging is not surface-treated and
can be used as fuel after it has been reduced in size. The
cardboard and the foils can be easily supplied to the communal
station for residual material utilisation.
Use a flue pipe of 2 mm thick steel sheet for connection to the
chimney.
The flue pipe must be firmly and tightly connected with both the
flue gas socket and the chimney. This firm and tight connection
is also a necessity for inter-joining the flue pipe sections. It is
imperative to ensure that the flue pipe does not project into the
free cross section of the chimney. To introduce the pipe into the
chimney the use of a masonry liner is recommended.
In the case of extended flue gas piping horizontal sections and
constrictions must be avoided; piping rising in the direction of
the chimney is recommended. If there is low chimney draft we
recommend connecting the stove by way of a vertical pipe
section at least 1 m in length.
Safety distances (minimum distances):
When installing the wood stove the fire protection regulations
issued by the authorities must always be followed. Ask your
district master chimney sweep in this regard.
The following minimum distance to combustible or
temperature-sensitive materials (e.g. furniture, wallpaper, wood
panelling) or supporting walls must be maintained (see
drawing):
A 10 cm to the rear wall
B 12 cm to the side walls and
C 80 cm in the radiation area
In the radiation area (C) no flammable building components or
furniture should be placed within a distance of 80cm from the
transparent window. This distance can be reduced to 40cm if a
radiation protection plate that is well-ventilated on both sides is
placed between the stove and the flammable building
components.
In the case of combustible or temperature-sensitive flooring the
appliance must be placed on a non-combustible floor protection
slab (e.g. steel plate, glass).
