In case of chimney fire:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the firebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fire service.
• Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.

4.0 Installation

N.B. Check that the fireplace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fireplace.
4.1 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the floor is strong enough for the fireplace. See «2.0
Technical data» for weights. It is recommended that flooring
which is not fastened to the foundations – so-called floating
flooring – is removed during installation.
Combustible floor protection
If the fireplace is to be mounted on a combustible floor, cover the
floor under and in front of the fireplace with a plate of metal or
other non- combustible material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0,9 mm.
Any flooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. should be removed from under the floor plate.
The plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
4.2 Walls (fig. 1a)
Distance to wall made of combustible
material
You may use the fireplace with an uninsulated flue pipe provided
the distances to walls made of combustible materials are as
shown in fig. 1.
Distance to wall with insulated flue pipe: Se fig. 1.
Distance to walls covered by a firewall
(fig. 1b and fig. 1c)
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
Firewall requirement
The firewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of
brick, concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and
constructions with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
Distance to non combustible walls
By non combustible one means a non load-bearing wall of solid
brickwork/concrete.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
4.3 Chimneys and flue pipes
• The fireplace can be connected to a chimney and flue
pipe approved for solid fuel fired appliances with flue gas
temperatures specified in «2.0 Technical data».
• The chimney's cross-section must be at least as big as the
flue pipe's cross-section. See «2.0 Technical data» when
calculating the correct chimney cross-section.
• Several solid fuel fired appliances can be connected to the
same chimney if the chimney's cross-section is sufficient.
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in accordance
with the installation instructions from the supplier of the
chimney.
• Before making a hole in the chimney the fireplace should be
test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of the
fireplace and the hole in the chimney. See fig. 1 for minimum
dimensions.
• Ensure that the flue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a flue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it to
be swept.
Be aware of the fact that it is particularly important that
connections have a certain flexibility in order to prevent
movement in the installation leading to cracks.
N.B. A correct and sealed connection is very important for the
proper functioning of the product.
Chimney draught; See «2.0 Technical data». If the draught is
too strong you can install and operate a flue damper to control
the draught.
