Preparation For Installation - Kratki ARKE Serie Manual Del Usuario

assembly work. It is a condition of safe use of the fireplace insert. The installer should confirm the cor-
rect execution of the assembly by signing the stamped warranty card. Failing to fulfil this requirement
makes the Buyer lose the right under the warranty claims against the manufacturer of the fireplace
insert.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Every fireplace insert is delivered ready for installation and trimming. After unpacking, check the com-
pleteness of the equipment according to this manual. Additionally, you should check the operation of:
- air curtain adjustment mechanism;
- the mechanism for controlling the flow of air into the combustion chamber (ash pan drawer);
- the proper operation mechanism of the front door closing (hinges, handle);
- durability of the housing of the flue and smoke ducts must have a fire resistance of at least 60 min.;
- installation of the fireplace insert can be made after a positive result of an expertise of the smoke
duct;
INSTALLATION OF A FIREPLACE INSERT
Installing a fireplace insert should be carried out in accordance with the relevant construction law, fire
regulations and general regulations, in particular:
• before choosing the location of the fireplace insert, examine all issues related to its placement in
terms of construction and fire protection provisions;
• check the mechanical strength of the substrate on which the fireplace insert is to be located, taking
into account the total weight of the insert and its housing;
• the fireplace insert must be installed on a non-combustible substrate of the min. thickness of 300 mm
and the floor at the door of the fireplace must be protected by a non-combustible material belt with
the minimum width of 300 mm;
• The smoke ducts must meet the basic criteria, namely:
- must be made of materials that weakly conduct heat;
- for a fireplace insert with a diameter of the flue pipe of 200 mm, the minimum cross-section must be
4 dm ;
2
- the exhaust pipe must not have more than two slopes of 45° to the height of 5m and 20° at the height
of more than 5 m;
• The flue draught must be:
- the minimal draught - 6 ± 1Pa;
- the mean recommended draught - 12 ± 2Pa;
- the maximum draught - 15 ± 2Pa;
• The mounting structure and the trim of the fireplace insert should be made of non-combustible ma-
terials and insulating materials, such as mineral wool with aluminium coating, ceramic fibres, glass-fi-
bre reinforced heat-resistant panels, aluminium coatings.
• The principles of good circulation and air balance in the room where the fireplace is to be installed
should be followed:
- the distance of the insulation from the insert walls - 8-12 cm,
- in rooms with mechanical ventilation or very tight window joinery, apply individual air supply to the
combustion chamber of the insert, the insert manufacturer recommends the use of an inlet,
- when using an air distribution system to other rooms, in order to obtain free circulation of air, ensure
that it could return to the room where the fireplace is installed after it is cooled down. Failing to stick
to this rule may disturb the cycle of the insert and prevent distribution of the heated air.
The room where the fireplace is installed must have a volume of not less than 30 m
of the right amount of air into the stove of the fireplace.
It is assumed that burning 1 kg of wood in the fireplace with a closed combustion chamber requires
approximately 8m of air.

Therefore, it is extremely important to bring fresh air for combustion, preferably using fresh air intake
and have a supply
