NSTALLATION GUIDELINES
All local directives, including the directives on national and European areas, must be
taken in to account when installing your stove.
Only a device, placed by an installer guarantees the correct follow-up of all directives regarding
architecture and fire prevention. This is an absolute must for a correct and safe function of your stove.
The life expectancy of your stove depends on a correct installation, correct use and correct
maintenance.
Installation
The stove may only be installed on a floor capable of holding the correct weight (see technical details).
If this is not the case, necessary measures must be taken in order to increase the carrying capacity.
In order to level out the stove, it is equipped with adjustable legs ( adjusting screws ). Adjust these if
necessary so that the stove is levelled out as much as possible. Adjustments can be made with a wrench.
The chimney
Before connecting the stove to a chimney, please check the dimensions and quality so that they
correspond to local directives. If necessary the dimensions must be calculated.
The stove can be connected on the chimney in a direct way. The diameter of the exhaust pipe must
correspond with the outlet of the stove.
A proper functioning of the stove can be guaranteed with a chimney draft between 12 and 20 Pa. When
the chimney draft is too high, a draft valve must be built within.
Never reduce in diameter smaller than the diameter of the stove exit diameter.
Consider the next steps in case of insufficient chimney draft :
Make the chimney longer
-
Improve the isolation of the chimney. ( avoids cooling of the fumes )
-
Improve the supply of fresh air
-
Improve the density of the chimney
-
Installing the stove to the Chimney
The Saey Peak has a rear connection and can be mounted immediately on the chimney. If you choose
to install with an upper top connection, you should switch the exit diameter of the stove with the little
round plate on the top.
The diameter of the exhaust pipes must correspond to the 150 mm (Peak) and 125mm (Peak S) exit
diameter of the stove. Regarding this diameter should also consider :
That it may never diminish and that it fits the chimney in a perfect manner.
-
When the chimney draft is too big, a draft valve must be installed.
-
The exhaust pipe diameter may never be bigger than the one of the chimney, otherwise the
-
upwards pressure off the fumes will be hindered.
Your chimney may not have the possibility to draw air from "false" openings. Make sure to
-
close all openings present... e.g. in the basement or the roof.
Respect all safety distances around inflammable objects.
