Prior To Set Up - RIKA INDUO Operating Manual

Prior to set up

Floor bearing capacity
Ensure that the substructure is capable of bearing the weight of the stove prior
to set-up.
Note
No modifications may be made to the firing installation. This also leads to loss
of warranty and guarantee.
Floor protection
A base is required (glass, sheet steel or ceramic) if the floor is combustible
(wood, carpet, etc.).
Flue pipe connection
Flue pipes pose a particular source of hazard regarding gas leaks and
Q
fire. Get the advice of an authorised specialist company for the layout and
assembly.
Please observe the corresponding installation guidelines for walls panelled
Q
with wood when connecting your flue pipes to the stove,
Observe the formation of flue gas (atmospheric inversion) and draughts
Q
when the weather is unfavourable.
Infeed of too little combustion air can lead to smoke in the rooms or to flue
Q
gas leaks. Hazardous deposits in the stove and chimney may also occur.
If flue gas escapes, let the fire burn out and check whether all the air inlet
Q
openings are free and the flue gas pipes and the stove pipe are clean. If in
doubt notify the master chimney sweep since draught malfunctions may be
connected to your chimney.
Stoves type 1 (BA 1):
These may only be operated with the combustion chamber door closed.
Q
Suitable for multiple occupancy. (note the different country regulations)
Q
The combustion chamber door may only be opened to add fuel and must
Q
then be closed again otherwise other firing installations connected to the
chimney may be endangered.
The combustion chamber door is to be kept closed when the stove is not
Q
in operation.
Fouling of the chimney i.e. deposits of highly inflammable materials such as
Q
soot and tar and subsequently fire in the chimney may occur if the chimney
is miscalculated and dimensioned wrong and if wet wood is used.
If fire in the chimney occurs, disconnect the mains plug of the stove. Phone the
fire brigade and get yourself and other residents out of harm's way.
Note
Due to the size of the combustion chamber door it is necessary not to
open the door abruptly, to prevent the flames coming out. Especially when
reheating into blazing flames.
Note
on ROOM-AIR DEPENDENT and
ROOM-AIR INDEPENDENT OPERATION:
Your stove has been tested as a room-air dependent stove according to EN
13240 and does not conform in Germany to the requirements for room-
air independent operation. In combination with room-air installations (e.g.
controlled ventilation and venting systems (extractors etc.) it must be ensured
that the stove and the room air system are monitored and safeguarded
mutually (e.g. via a differential pressure controller etc.). The combustion air
infeed of approx. 20 m3/h must be ensured. Please observe the respective
local regulations and rules in consultation with your master chimney sweep
