Prior To Set Up; E Correct Chimney Connection - RIKA TOPOII Operating Manual

Prior to set up

Floor bearing capacity
Ensure that the substructure is capable of bearing the weight of the stove prior
to set-up.
Note
No modifications may be made to the firing installation. This also leads to loss
of warranty and guarantee.
Floor protection
A base is required (glass, sheet steel or ceramic) if the floor is combustible
(wood, carpet, etc.).
Flue pipe connection
Flue pipes pose a particular source of hazard regarding gas leaks and
Q
fire. Get the advice of an authorised specialist company for the layout and
assembly.
Please observe the corresponding installation guidelines for walls panelled
Q
with wood when connecting your flue pipes to the stove,
Observe the formation of flue gas (atmospheric inversion) and draughts
Q
when the weather is unfavourable.
Infeed of too little combustion air can lead to smoke in the rooms or to flue
Q
gas leaks. Hazardous deposits in the stove and chimney may also occur.
If flue gas escapes, let the fire burn out and check whether all the air inlet
Q
openings are free and the flue gas pipes and the stove pipe are clean. If in
doubt notify the master chimney sweep since draught malfunctions may be
connected to your chimney.
Only use suitable tools from our range of accessories when handling embers
Q
and make sure that no embers fall out of the combustion chamber onto
inflammable material.
Use the heat-resistant gloves supplied to open the doors of your stove.
Q
The correct chimney connection
There are several ways to connect your stove to the chimney, eg:
1) wind break, 2) chimney, 3) inspection opening
For the selection of the connection and to ensure a proper connection between
the stove and chimney, please read the guide „INSTALLING THE STOVE" or ask
your local chimney sweep.

Stoves type 1 (BA 1):
Suitable for multiple occupancy. (Note the different country regulations)
Q
These may only be operated with the combustion chamber door closed.
Q
The combustion chamber door is to be kept closed when the stove is not
Q
in operation.
Fouling of the chimney i.e. deposits of highly inflammable materials such as
Q
soot and tar and subsequently fire in the chimney may occur if the chimney
is miscalculated and dimensioned wrong.
If this occurs, disconnect the mains plug. Phone the fire brigade and get
Q
yourself and other residents out of harm's way.
Note
Your pellet stove can be operated room air dependent or room air independent.
ROOM-AIR INDEPENDENT OPERATION:
The stove is certificated for type FC62x of the approval principles for the
inspection and evaluation of ambient air independent fireplaces specified by
the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DIBT) (German Institute for Building
Technology). Thanks to the air-tight configuration of the air supply line and flue
pipes the stove may be operated in air-tight rooms and in rooms with room-air
installations (e.g. controlled ventilation and venting systems, extractors etc.).
ROOM-AIR DEPENDENT OPERATION:
In combination with room-air installations (e.g. controlled ventilation and
venting systems (extractors etc.) it must be ensured that the stove and
the room air system are monitored and safeguarded mutually (e.g. via
a differential pressure controller). The combustion air infeed of approx.
20 m3/h must be ensured.
Please observe the respective local regulations and rules in consultation with
your master chimney sweep.
