Prior To Set; The Correct Chimney Connection - RIKA PICO 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 glass, sheet steel or ceramic plate is recommended, if the floor is combustible
(wood, carpet, etc.). Please observe the respective local regulations and rules.
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.

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
on ROOM-AIR DEPENDENT and
ROOM-AIR INDEPENDENT OPERATION:
Your stove has been tested as a room-air dependent stove according to
EN 14785 and takes all the combustion air via the air intake from the
installation room.
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 etc.).
The combustion air infeed of approx. 35 m³/h must be ensured.
Please observe the respective local regulations and rules in consultation with
your master chimney sweep. For changes after the printing of this manual, we
can not assume any liability. We reserve the right to change without notice.
