HASE MERIDA Datasheet

3. Installation Conditions and Relevant Building
Regulations
The stove must be installed in accordance with the instructions
and requirements stipulated by the respective national and
European standards and local regulations.
In Germany, the stove must be registered with the local master
chimney sweep for inspection prior to initial operation.
4. Safety Distances
Within a radius of 80 cm in front of and 25 cm around the
stove, flammable, combustible, or heat-sensitive materials
(e.g. furniture, wood or plastic panelling, curtains, etc.) are not
allowed to be located in the heat radiating area of the fire box
window (Fig. 1).
With regard to flammable materials beyond the heat radiating
area, a safety distance of 10 cm at the sides of the stove and
10 cm behind the stove has to be adhered to (Fig. 1).
WARNING!
Flammable flooring materials (e.g., wood,
laminate, carpeting,) must be protected with a
floorplate made of non-combustible material
(e.g., tiles, safety glass, slate, or sheet steel).
The size of the floorplate must be larger than
the base of the stove by at least 50 cm in front

5. Installation
Check to make sure that the load-bearing capacity of the
installation surface is sufficient. If necessary, using a floorplate
to distribute the load can increase the load bearing capacity.
Check whether the room in which the Merida will be installed
is adequately supplied with enough fresh air. If the windows
and doors are tightly sealed, the necessary supply of fresh
air may not be ensured, which can interfere with the draught
capability of the stove and chimney.
If additional combustion air inlet openings are required, they

are not permitted to be closed or blocked.
CAUTION!
Simultaneous operation of the stove with
ventilation systems and/or exhaust hoods can
cause negative pressure to build up in the
room where the stove is installed, which can
lead to problems such as flue gas escaping
from the stove.
NOTE!
To ensure that air is not drawn out of the room
where the stove is installed, we recommend

using a window contact switch to lock exhaust
