3.0 Installation
3.1 Floor
Foundations
It must be ensured that the foundations are dimensioned for
the fireplace. Cf. «2.0 Technical data» for specification of weight.
It is recommended that flooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called floating flooring – is removed during
installation.
Wooden floor protection
Requirements for the floor plate:
If the product is placed directly on a wooden floor, the floor must
be covered by a metal plate or other suitable, non-inflammable
material. The recommended minimum thickness is 0,9 mm.
Any flooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the floor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
flooring in front of fireplace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements. (See Buildings Regulations.)
3.2 Walls
Distance to walls made of combustible material-see fig. 1.
The fireplace is authorised for use with an uninsulated flue
with the distances to the wall of flammable material as shown
in fig 1.
Distance to walls protected by a firewall - see
fig. 1
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 wall
A non combustible wall is here mentioned as a non load-bearing
wall of cement /brick.
Recommended distance: 100 mm.
3.3 Ceiling
There must be a minimum distance of 1200 mm to a combustible
roof above the fireplace.
3.4 Chimneys and flue pipes
• The fireplace can be connected to a chimney and flue
pipe approved for solid fuel fired fireplaces 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.
12
• Several solid fuel fired fireplaces 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 connections must 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.
The 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.

3.5 Assembly prior to 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.
The product is delivered in a single packing case where the legs,
heat shield(s) and door knob/vent knobs must be assembled.
A heat shield for the floor shall always be used. A heat shield for
the side or back can be ordered and mounted depending on the
position of the fireplace and the desired distance to combustible
materials. See fig. 1.
When the product has been unpacked remove all loose parts from
the fireplace. Check the product for any physical damage.
• Unfold the cardboard packing and place the wooden pallet
on top. Carefully place the fireplace on its side. Mount the
four legs using screws and washers. (Fig. 2)
• The floor shall be protected from heat from the product using
the supplied heat shield.
Mounting the heat shield under the stove,
see fig. 3
• Fasten the heat shield under the middle using 2 M6 x 12 screws
(see fig 3)
• Carefully stand the fireplace on its legs.
Mounting the heat shield on the side (optional
equipment), see fig. 4
• Feed the upper clamps in under the top plate.
• Loosen the 2 M6 x 12 screws that are screwed into the bottom
of the fireplace (A), and use them to attach the heat shield.
Mounting the heat shield on the back (optional
equipment), see fig. 5
In order to be able to place the fireplace's rear wall closer to a
wall made from combustible material (see fig. 1 ) a heat shield
can be mounted on the product.
