1. Prior to assembling the stove
All our products are tested according to the latest
European requirements and also to the Norwegian
SINTEF standard, which includes particle tests.
Several European countries however have individual
rules for installation of inserts, stoves and fireplaces.
The client is entirely responsible for the fulfilling of
these local rules concerning the installation in his
region/country. Nordpeis (Northstar) is not responsible
regarding correct installation. You should check local
regulations concerning: distance from firebox to
combustible/flammable materials, insulation materials/
requirements between stove and back wall, size
of floor plates in front of stove if required, fluepipe
connection between stove and chimney and insulation
requirements if fluepipe goes through inflammable
wall such as a wooden wall.
For your own safety, comply with the user
manual. All safety distances are minimum
distances. Installation of the stove must
comply with the rules and regulations of the
country where installed. Nordpeis AS is not
responsible for wrongly assembled stoves.
Chimney Draught
Compared with older models, the clean burning stoves
of today put significantly higher demands on the
chimney. Even the best stove will not work properly
if the chimney does not have the right dimensions or
is not in good working order. The draught is mainly
controlled by gas temperature, outside temperature,
air supply as well as the height and inner diameter
of the chimney. The diameter of the chimney should
never be less than that of the flue/chimney collar. At
nominal effect there should be a negative pressure of
14 to 25 Pascal.
The draught increases when:
•
The chimney becomes warmer than the outside air
•
The active length of the chimney is increased (over
the hearth)
•
Good air supply to the combustion
It can be difficult to obtain the right draught conditions
in case the chimney is too large relative to the
fireplace, as the chimney does not heat up well
enough. If possible, insert a smaller chimney pipe.
Draught that is too strong can also be controlled with
a damper. If necessary, contact a chimney sweeper.
Air Supply
A set for fresh air supply is available as an accessory,
and will ensure that ventilation systems, kitchen fans
and other factors that can create a downdraught in the
room of the fireplace affect less the air supply to the
stove. Insufficient air supply can cause downdraught
and thereby low combustion efficiency and the
problems that this entails: soot stains on the glass,
inefficient use of the wood and a soot deposits in the
chimney.
