3.0 Prior to installation
3.1 Foundations
Make sure the floor is suitable for the entire installation. See "2.0
Technical Data" for specified weight.
Remember: If a steel chimney resting on the burn chamber is
being used, the weight of the steel chimney should be taken
into account.
NB: It is extremely important to ensure that the product is stable.
It must be installed on a completely inflexible floor.
It is recommended that flooring that is not attached to the
foundation – "floating floors" – be removed beneath the product.
3.2 Floor covering
Jøtul FS 165 - I 200 FL / I 500 FL / I 530 FL has an airtight bottom
plate and no extra floor covering is required beneath the product.
Any inflammable floor coverings, such as linoleum, carpets, etc.
must be removed from under the product.
3.3 Floor plate
A plate made of steel or some other suitable non-inflammable
metal (optional extra) is placed in front of the hearth. The
floor plate must comply with national laws and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.4 Air supply
There must be a flow of air between the burn chamber and the
surround. This is to ensure that any build-up of heat inside the
surround is not too great.
NB: It is extremely important that air openings not be covered.
See Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b for distances.
3.5 Steel chimney
If a top-mounted steel chimney is used, an uninsulated pipe is
fitted from the burn chamber to approximately 10 mm through
the top stones. Make sure that the gasket is properly seated
between the flue pipe and the smoke outlet. Then fit the steel
chimney in accordance with the chimney supplier's installation
instructions.
3.6 Ceiling
Make sure the room where the Jøtul FS 165 - I 500 FL / I 530 FL is
to be placed has a ceiling height of at least 2300 mm.
3.7 Chimney and flue pipe
•
The stove must be connected to a chimney and flue pipe
approved for solid fuel fireplaces with flue gas temperatures
as specified in «2.0 Technical data» in the insert manual.
•
The cross-section of the chimney must be at least that of the
flue pipe. To calculate the correct chimney cross section, see
«2.0 Technical data» in the insert manual.
•
Several solid fuel products can be connected to the same
chimney system if the chimney cross-section is adequate.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions
and installation requirements.
•
Connection to the chimney must be performed in accordance
with the installation instructions of the chimney supplier.
•
Make sure that the flue pipe rises all the way up to the chimney.
•
Please note that it is extremely important for connections to
have a degree of flexibility.
For recommended chimney draught, see «2.0 Technical data» in
the insert manual.
