room
Choose a location in the room which
favours good hot-air distribution by
convection and radiation.
2.3. Installation of the appliance
2.3.1. Floor
Make sure that the base can withstand
the total constructed weight of the
appliance and its casing.
When the floor surface (base) is
combustible, fit suitable insulation.
2.3.2. Safety distances
Be sure to respect the appliance
installation distances from combustible
materials. Looking at the appliance head-

From the right-hand side
From the left-hand side
From the rear
From the front
From floor in front of
appliance
Bear in mind that it may even be
necessary to protect non-combustible
material in order to prevent breakage,
deformation,
etc.,
overheating
if
the
material is not designed to withstand high
temperatures.

Make sure that the glass/es
is/are not broken or damaged.
•
Make sure that the flueway is
not obstructed with packing or
loose parts.

Check the deflector is correctly
positioned
•
Make sure that the airtight
joints on the flue circuit are in
perfect condition.
•
Make sure that the doors close
properly.
•
Make sure that all moving parts
are fitted in place.
2.3.4. Connection to the flue
The appliance must be connected to the
chimney flue using special piping designed
to resist the products of combustion (e.g.
stainless steel, enamelled steel, etc.).
To connect the flue to the socket flange,
insert the piping inside the flange and seal
the joint with fire sealant or fire cement to
make it completely airtight.
The installer must ensure that the pipe
connected to the appliance is well secured
and there is no chance of it coming free
from its housing (e.g. as a result of
dilatation due to temperature, etc.).
