Flue Gas Removal System; Establishing A Gas Connection - Dovre VIRTUS 50 GAO Instrucciones De Instalacion Y Uso

Flue gas removal system

This gas stove has an 'open combustion system'
and is fitted with a draught diverter.
The stove can be connected to a traditional flue
pipe. To guarantee a good draught, the diameter of
the chimney may not deviate too much from the dia-
meter of the connection collar.
To prevent condensation problems, in a masonry
flue pipe a flexible tube should be inserted from the
connection collar to the chimney outlet.
If the chimney is too big or is badly insulated, it can
cause problems with the draught.
Metal chimney systems located outside the home
must be insulated.
Ventilation security
The appliance is fitted with an oxypilot that shuts off
the gas supply if the chimney is not working properly
(too little or no draught, sudden kickback or insuf-
ficient ventilation in the room).
When the system shuts off the gas supply, you
should wait for approx. ten minutes before lighting the
stove again (using the normal lighting procedure). If
you can do this in the normal way, there is nothing to
worry about. However, if this phenomenon occurs reg-
ularly, you should ask the installation technician to
check that the safety system is working properly and
to resolve the problem with the chimney or the inad-
equate ventilation.
This is a safety system! It is in your own
interests to ensure that this system is not deac-
tivated. The manufacturer cannot be held liable
in any way whatsoever for the consequences if
the system is deactivated in any way.
Room ventilation
The burning of wood, coal, fuel oil or gas consumes
oxygen. It is therefore vitally important that the space
in which the appliance is installed is sufficiently aer-
ated or ventilated.
If there is insufficient ventilation, the incineration pro-
cess can be disrupted and the faultless removal of the
flue gases through the chimney can no longer be guar-
anteed, resulting in possible flue gas evaporation in
the living room.

If necessary, you should position an air intake grille in
the room to guarantee the supply of fresh air. This
measure is definitely necessary in well-insulated
spaces in which there is mechanical ventilation. For
minimum ventilation vents you are referred to the
applicable standard.
Also take note of other appliances in the same space
or in the home that also consume air, such as another
heating appliance, an extractor hood, a drying cabinet
or a bathroom ventilator. Do not use these appliances
if there is a fire in the fireplace, or otherwise make
sure there is an extra air supply for these appliances.

Establishing a gas connection

The connection to the gas pipe is on the back of the
gas regulator block, which is at the bottom right of the
stove.
The connection must meet the following conditions :
A coloured gas valve must be inserted in the gas
supply pipe, as close to the stove as possible and
always accessible.
The connection must be voltage-free.
Have a certified installer make the connection.
Follow the instructions below:
1. Check whether the type of gas and gas pressure
on site correspond with those marked on the type
plate.
The type plate is located on the appliance.
2. Assemble the gas supply pipe. 3/8" G pipe or cop-
per pipe with diameter 10/12 mm suffices for pipes
up to +/- 10 m. 1/2" G pipe or copper pipe with dia-
meter 13/15 mm is used for lengths exceeding 10
m.
3. Install the gas valve.
4. Connect the stove to the gas supply pipe. The gas
connection can be made using the opening on the
back. Use a 3/8" coupling to do this.
5. Check if the supply pipe is gastight (using soapy
water, for example).
