The Stove's Surroundings And Decoration; Holding Capacity Of The Structure - Stuv 21 Installation Instructions Manual

The stove's surroundings and decoration

The recess
Check the dimensions of the recess
and leave sufficient space around the
fan (if you have chosen this option).
The stove must be able to expand
freely. The brickwork or decorative
materials must not enter into
contact with the stove under any
circumstances; leave a gap of at least
5 mm.
This recess and/or the space around
the stove must be ventilated to
prevent "heat traps" [see below].
If necessary, insert insulating material
of the thickness required between the
stove and inflammable materials [see
pages 3-6].
Please note
You can only use lateral fans or a
separate fan (type EXT...) for the
Stûv 21/65C model.

Holding capacity of the structure

Ensure that the resistance of the
floor is sufficiently strong to support
the stove and the construction of
the cladding. If in any doubt, please
consult a specialist.

Radiated heat
Significant heat may be radiated
through the glass door. Ensure the
materials exposed to this radiated heat
are resistant to high temperatures
[diagram 1].
Prevent "heat traps" in the
cladding, recess and hood
Any closed or contained space
constitutes a heat trap which causes
the walls to heat up. Circulation of air
can be ensured by having an air inlet
in the base of the cladding (hood or
recess) and an outlet in the upper part
[diagram 2].
