1. INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT! All local regulations, including those
that refer to national or European regulations, must
be applied when installing this device.
The way the stove is installed will decisively affect
safety issues and its correct operation.
It is important to install the stove correctly. For the
correct installation of the stove and chimney, we
recommend the installation be performed by a
professional.
Please read this entire manual before you install and

Warning: Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue

according to all local codes. Installations other than
those specifically covered herein have not been
confirmed by test and are not covered by the

2.1. Chimney.
The chimney is a vital part of your stove installation. A
properly built masonry chimney will assure a
consistent draft under a variety of weather conditions.
(A smoking stove is almost always caused by a chimney
problem)
All chimneys must be installed either according to the
local building codes in the case of a masonry chimney
or according to the
instructions in the case of a factory-built metal
chimney. See the chimney manufacturers' instructions
for exact specifications
Existing chimneys must be inspected before installing
your stove. Consult your local building department for
chimney code requirements. A masonry chimney
should have a code approved liner. This liner must not
have broken or missing pieces. Some non-code
masonry chimneys may be brought up to code by being
relined. (Consult your dealer or qualified chimney
sweep.) Factory-built metal chimneys should also be

inspected, first for creosote deposits (which should be
removed), and then for integrity of the stainless steel
liner. Look for obvious bulges in the lining which may
indicate the need to replace that section (use a bright
flashlight). Also inspect the attic to see that the
chimney has proper clearance to combustible framing
members.
The chimney or vent shall be designed and
manufactured to develop a flow sufficient to
completely remove all flue and vent gases to the
outside atmosphere. The venting system shall satisfy
the draft requirements of the connected appliance in
accordance with the manufactures instructions. The
location, section and height of the chimney condition
the draft.
2.1.1. Chimney Height requirements.
We recommend that the chimney be:
1. at least 100 cm higher than the highest part of the
roof opening through which it passes,
2. and at least 60 cm higher than any part of the roof
within 300cm, measured horizontally.
2.1.2. Draft requirements
The appliance is merely one component of a larger
system. The other equally important component is the
chimney. This is necessary for achieving the required
flow for safety removing unwanted combustion by-
products from the appliance. If the chimney design
does not promote these ends, the system may not
function properly.
The recommended draft requirements for your stove is
no less than –15 pa (-0.048") and no greater than –25
pa (-0.12").
OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE WITH A DRAFT GREATER
THAN –30 Pa (-0.14") CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE DAMAGE
TO THE STOVE AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
