2.1. Installation safety

General installation instructions:
WARNING all of the installation procedures described
may only be carried out by a Kalfire-approved installer.
•
please adhere to the installation instructions and
regulations that apply to safety and health in your
country (the working Conditions act, for example).
•
follow the installation procedures diligently to avoid
damage and accidents.
•
always use adequate personal protective equipment
(gloves, safety goggles and work clothing) during
installation and maintenance of the fireplace.
•
The wood-burning fireplace weighs more than 25 kg,
so it must be moved by two individuals or by using the
correct tool.
•
Take care that the local conditions match the information
on the identification plate of the fireplace. in the case of
front and tunnel fireplaces, the identification plate is fixed at
the lower right in the slit of the door's guide. in the case of
corner fireplaces, 3-sided fireplaces and the room divider,
the identification plate is located behind the design strip,
visible when the door is opened.

•
only install a wood-burning fireplace in an area that has
sufficient ventilation in compliance with the standards in
force.
•
always perform a chimney calculation, as indicated in the
Chimney Calculation (see section 5.4).
•
always use a flue duct that corresponds to the inspection
of the fireplace.
•
Take the necessary precautions by using non-flammable
materials to prevent overheating of floor, boards or walls
close to the fireplace.
•
immediately after its installation, check the fireplace for
proper functioning.

2.2 Installation instructions

The following conditions must be adhered to during installation:
WARNING ensure sufficient ventilation where the fireplace
is to be installed.
1. reference is made to both national and local legislation
in force to determine a safe distance from the wall pass-
through against which the appliance is mounted and the
adjacent walls, roof ducts and windows.
2. only use non-flammable materials when installing the
fireplace.
3. insulation material must meet national quality standards;
it must be able to withstand high temperatures (at least
700° C) to prevent strong odours from developing during
combustion.
4. use ceramic fibre panels or hard mineral wool panels to
prevent loose insulating particles from circulating within
the convection system.
5. do not allow the insulation material to cover the convection
air inlets. firmly attach the insulation to prevent the
material from slipping.
6. use mats, sheets or strips made of silicate insulation
materials (stone, klinkers, ceramic fibres); construction
class a1 according to din 4102 part 1, with an upper limit
temperature of at least 700° C, tested according to din
52271 and a nominal density of 80 kg/m.
These materials must have a corresponding insulation
material registration number according to agi-Q 132.
This number may not contain the combination '99'.
7. for as far as this insulation layer is not kept away from
walls, claddings or adjoining plates, attachments must be
mounted at a mutual distance of max. 33 cm.
8. other insulation materials, consisting of, for example,
covering concrete or mineral base materials, must have
a general urban development permit of the german
institute of building Technology (dibt). for further details,
see din 18895 resp. and 13229/din 18160.
9. replacement insulation materials have various heat index
values, depending on the thickness of the insulation
material. The required thickness of the insulation material
can be calculated from the graph supplied by the
manufacturer.
10. some heat insulation materials can be used for pre-
construction and heat insulation. This way you can
significantly reduce the built-in depth. Cover heat insulating
materials made from stone and clinker fibre, so they are not
subject to wear, otherwise loose particles may be blown by
the airflow into the mounting area. other heat insulation
plates may be supplied wear proof from the factory.
