Installing The Stove; General Information; Making The Chimney Connection; Method - RIKA INTEGRA II Instruction Manual

5. INSTALLING THE STOVE

GENERAL INFORMATION

The stove must be connected to a chimney that is
approved for solid fuels. The chimney must have a
diameter of at least 120 mm.
The flue system is based on negative pressure in
the combustion chamber and a slight overpressure
on the flue gas outlet. It is therefore important that
the flue gas connection is fitted correctly and is
airtight.
Only use heat resistant sealing materials, as well as
the relevant sealing bands, heat resistant silicon and
mineral wool.
Only authorised technical personnel must carry out
assembly work.
In addition you must ensure that the flue tube does
not project into the free cross section of the
chimney.
NOTE: Please follow the regionally valid building
regulations. Contact your master chimney sweep for
information on this.
Ensure that outlet routes to the chimney are not too
long.
Avoid too many changes of direction for the flue gas
flow to the chimney. (e.g. too many corners and
bends). Don't exceed a maximum of 3 bends in the
flue pipe.
Where you cannot connect directly to the chimney, if
possible use a connection piece with cleaning
opening.
For optimum efficiency please use the type of
connector we recommend.
MAKING THE CHIMNEY
CONNECTION
(Fig. 1)

Method

1. Measure and draw the chimney connection
(taking any floor plate thickness into
consideration). (Fig. 1)
determining the dimension of the flue pipe
discharge directly at the oven.
2. Chisel out (drill) the hole in the wall
3. Brick in the wall lining
4. Connect stove with the flue tube to the
chimney.

FLOOR PROTECTION

For flammable floor surfaces (wood, carpet, etc.) a
glass, steel plate or ceramic underlay is required.

SAFETY DISTANCES
