6 INSTALLATION
All local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards need to be complied with
when installing the appliance.
Only an appliance connected by a qualified installer guarantees compliance with legislation on construction
and fire prevention. This is certainly required for safe and proper use of the stove.
6.1 Positioning
The appliance shall be erected on floors with an adequate loadbearing capacity (see technical data). If an
existing construction doesn’t meet this prerequisite, suitable measures shall be taken to achieve it.
Install the appliance as much at level as possible.
If the stove is installed on an inflammable floor, then place a fireproof plate underneath the appliance. Make
sure to respect the following safety clearance distances from combustible materials:
▪ Frontwards 80cm
▪ Backwards 40cm
▪ Sideways 65cm
6.2 Combustion air
The required oxygen for the fire is supplied through inlets in the front and the backside of the stove.
An optimal combustion requires sufficient fresh air. A lack of oxygen may result in incomplete combustion
and reversing flue gases.
Additional combustion air can be supplied by placing an air inlet grill as close as possible to the appliance.
Air inlet grills must be positioned so that they are not liable to blockage.
