INSTALLATION
1.1 Legal building regulations
Before installing your tiled stove we
recommend that you talk to your local
chimney sweep. He will advise you on
the relevant building regulations, supply
permission and perform the acceptance
test.
Also check whether the room in which
the FORUM stove is to be installed has
an adequate supply of fresh air. If the
windows and doors are sealed it may be
that the necessary supply of fresh air is
no longer ensured and the draught
levels required by your stove may be
insufficient. The performance of your
tiled stove is also dependent on the
draught from your chimney. This may be
impaired by the cross section of your
chimney or an effective chimney height
of less than 4.50 m. The effective chim-
ney height is the distance between the
flue gas intake in the chimney and the
top of the chimney pot.
1.2 Type of construction
The stove may only be operated with the
fire box being closed. It can be connec-
ted to any chimneys already assigned.
For reasons of safety, the stove is equip-
ped with a self-closing fire box door.
1.3 The flue pipe
The FORUM must be connected to a flue
pipe whose internal diameter is 150 mm.
All the parts must be fitted extremely
accurately at the connection points. The
pipe must be sealed well in the chimney
entrance and must not project into the
cavity of the chimney otherwise smoke
extraction will be impaired.
1.4 Heat-sensitive materials
If the floor is flammable, for example, if
made of wood, plastic or is carpeted,
etc., a floor plate must be used.
