    Black glass is an indication of incorrect burning practices. I Heaters with traditional lateral doors such as the Arlberg have a tighter seal, and can therefore retain ambers longer. I The choice of what inbuilt material is used will result in either strong convection (Skamol) or large amounts of heat storage (Fire Bricks).
  • Page 5 I The hotbox may require future maintenance; this should be done through the top or through a side service hatch. Construct the lid out of Skamol in order to heat proof, facilitate convection and ensure ease of access I If the heater sits against any combustible surface, it must be heat proofed accordingly.

    Q: The heaters are made in Europe; are they made for soft wood only? A: Even in Europe the most commonly used firewood is Buche (Beech) Buche is a kind of hardwood; soft wood such as pine actually burns hotter ( but quicker) than hardwood. The most important aspect of wood is: I Well-seasoned with a moisture condense of no more than 20% I Never use treated timber...
  • Page 7 Q: What is the fresh air intake? A: The fresh air intake is an option most Euro Fireplaces have, the fresh air intake connects a pipe from the back of the heater to the outside; now the heater will draw air it needs for combustion from the outside instead of reusing air and oxygen needed for combustion from inside the house and diminishing air quality.

    Operation Move air regulator fully to the left and stack softwood kindling on top of two pieces of hardwood. Make sure air can move freely from the grate around the stack. Place a firelighter (circled) near the top of the stack, and light it. Leave the air regulator fully open.
  • Page 9 Keep the air regulator at the middle. Using properly dried firewood, and following the above steps, the logs will ignite within 60 seconds. For further information please refer to our burning guide or contact your local Euro Fireplaces dealer.

  • Page 10: I Inbuilt Methods

    InBuilt Methods In order to achieve maximum efficiency from your inbuilt fireplace, Euro Fireplaces recommends the following installation methods. The aim of these methods is to create a Hot Box that will enhance the convection of the fireplace and maintain heat that would otherwise be lost through the flue.
  • Page 11 If you choose standard building bricks for the installation, ensure the bricks are of good quality. Lesser quality bricks may crack with time due to being exposed to the heat inside the hotbox. Heat tolerant mortar must be used. Standard building bricks provide moderate heat storage and reflection of heat.

  • Page 12: I Hot Box Finish

    Finish of the hot box If you plan to choose a stone or tile finish we recommend you use a brick installation. heat will then be absorbed in to the bricks as well as in to the stone or tile. Heavier installation (more thermal mass) will result in less convection but more heat bank .

  • Page 14: Fresh Air Intake

    Fresh Air Intake Euro Fireplaces models rely on surrounding air to achieve a high standard of combustion. As such, an adequate intake of air is essential. In an energy efficient room (eg. tight windows and doors), air intake may be low and affect the fire. Quality of the air in the room may also be affected, however this can be aided with the installation of an external air supply.

  • Page 16: I Convection

    Constructing for Convection Euro Fireplaces heat your home in two ways: with a radiant heat as well as natural convection. Natural convection means the heater will suck the cold air from around your house and naturally convert it into warm air.

  • Page 19 SKAMOL provides a quick, cost effective installation method. Panels are glued together with heat proof silicon before being secured with screws. This installation method can be done with little mess, even as an addition to finished houses. Specialized installation knowledge is required by the installer.

  • Page 20: I Construction Methods

    Construction Methods The Euro Fireplaces Insert heaters move air through the process of convection, meaning that the heater body will require a convection chamber constructed around it. This insulated chamber is constructed out of 50mm thick, or 100mm depending on the power of the heater. Skamol, with a 20mm air gap between the outside of the box and any material surrounding the heater.

  • Page 22 Overlapping Blocking Attaching the ISOL boards together will require a heat proof sealant and long screws (50-100mm depending on ISOL size). The Skamol boards need to be completely sealed so plenty of sealant is required to ensure no air can travel between the gaps. Then the boards need to be securely screwed together, again making sure that no gaps are present.
  • Page 23 150mm 150mm 150mm In any installation 150mm of air gap around the heater is required on the sides and back with roughly 1m from the exit of the flue from the heater. With Skamol Installations the sides and front need to be a minimum of 50mm thick and 100mm backing onto the wall with a 25mm air gap.

  • Page 24: I Step By Step Guide

    Step 1 The hotbox structure must be built on a non combustible surface, If the floor is not noncombustible, such as wood, the base of the hotbox is to be built from 50mm Skamol and a 3mm steel sheet to disperse the weight.
  • Page 25 50mm Skamol with steel sheet Mt Blanc being fitted into an ISOL box Skamol installation with brick front around the door. The brick works as extra Finished Skamol box heatbank for the hotbox.
  • Page 26 Step 3 The heater is then to be placed inside the cavity and aligned with the front where the wall will be placed. The fresh air intake must also be attached. Step 4 The flue for the interior of the hotbox is installed and once all interior work is finished the front of the hotbox can be attached with appropriate blocking.

  • Page 28 Step 5 The lid of the hotbox can now be attached. The lid must be comprised of a 10mm thick concrete sheet, a 50mm Skamol sheet, and then another sheet of concrete. This will supply enough structural support of the lid and enough heat protection. Step 6 The full 3 skin flue continues out of the hotbox and any exterior materials such...

  • Page 30: I Alternative Methods

    Alternate Methods Akumol/Fire bricks Firebricks such as Akumol provide large amounts of heat storage and remove then need for Skamol to be used, excluding the Skamol lid and any fireproofing that may need to be performed. The constructing methods for this material are similar to the Skamol but note that when using 70mm thick materials a 25mm air gap is still required.
  • Page 31 Hebel/Standard bricks Hebel bricks will fireproof the htobox and provide moderate heat storage and convection. It is recommended to also line the box with 30mm Skamol. Like the fire brick installation, the box is finished with a Skamol ‘lid’ (100mm thick). If you choose Standard Building Bricks for the installation, ensure the bricks are of good quality.

  • Page 32: I Tunnel Heaters

    Tunnel Heaters The Euro Fireplace Tunnel heaters allow access to the heater from 2 different room. Normally the heater will be installed in the middle of a cavity in the wall and can supply heat to both areas. It’s method of heating is fantastic for heating large spaces and rooms that may have trouble getting the convection air to flow.

  • Page 35: Basic Information

    Basic Information The Eurofireplace Insert heaters move air through a process called Convection. This means that the heater body will require a fire proof convection chamber constructed around the heater body. This insulated chamber is constructed out of 50mm thick Skamol, with a 20mm air gap between the outside of the box and any material surrounding the heater past the 20mm.
  • Page 36 Step 1 The base of the hotbox will need to be cut to 610x660, The sides will then need to be attached on top of the base. Each side is the default size for our supplied ISOL, the only cutting required for these sides is a 90mm hole for the fresh air intake at the bottom of the rear.
  • Page 37 Step 3 The heater can now be placed into the box and the fresh air intake can be attached. This will require the supplied fresh air brackets to be attached to each surface and a flexible pipe running across. Please note that the air intake must not run out the top.
  • Page 38 Step 5 Finally the metal face place can be attached to the front of the hot box. The metal faceplate will work to radiate heat from the front of the heater and also include the air vents required for the convection.
