RIKA cult Installation Instructions Manual page 10

Hearths
The stove should stand wholly above a hearth
constructed of suitably robust materials and
should be able to accommodate the weight of the
appliance and its unsupported flue components.
The materials should conform to local Building
Regulations and British Standards.
If the stove is not to stand in a purpose built
fireplace recess (this excludes prefabricated
constructions) a hearth made of non-combustible
board, steel material, tiles or glass of at least
12mm thick may be used as long as the floor can
accommodate the weight of the appliance and its
unsupported flue components.
All the Rika wood stoves conform to standards
EN 13240, where the hearth temperature does
not exceed 100°C. This means a hearth of only
12mm of non combustible material may be used.
This information only applies to our range of
appliances.
Caution do not fit a 12mm hearth to other manufacturers products unless documentation is provided to prove
hearth temperatures.

Attach one end of the flexible tube with a jubilee clip to the
stove adapter and slide this onto the spigot on the air duct at
the rear of the stove. There may be a knock out plate covering
the air inlet at the rear of the stove which will need to be
removed by using a hacksaw blade. The flexible tube can then
be put through the wall and secured to the external vent cover
with the other jubilee clip and the vent cover secured to the
outside wall.
The flexible tube can be extended to a maximum of 3 metres.
This allows for the venting kit to be used in many applications
following more convoluted routes than the one shown below.
It can also be attached to a 100mm soil pipe which may have
been laid into a floor to duct air to the stove.
