3. INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The way of installing the stove will affect the safety and the proper operation. For this reason, it is recommendable that the installation is carried out by
people who are qualified and informed about the compliance with the installation and safety norms. If a stove is not properly installed it may cause
EN
serious damage.
Before the installation, follow the next verifications:
• Make sure that the floor can sustain the weight of the equipment and make a proper isolation in the case that it is made of flammable material
(wood) or a material that can be affected by a thermal shock (plaster cast, for example).
• If the equipment is installed on a floor which is not completely refractory or inflammable such as parquet, carpet, etc, it is necessary to replace this
part or introduce a fire-resistant base so that it protrudes out the fireplace 30 cm. Example of materials include steel flooring, glass base or any
other type of fire-resistant material.
• Make sure that there is proper ventilation in the place where it is installed (air intake) (see section 5 of the manual).
• Avoid the installation in places where there are collective ventilation pipes, hoods with or without extractor, B type gas equipments, heat pumps or
equipments that can cause that the draw of the stove is not good if they are used at the same time.
• Make sure that the smoke duct and the pipes used for the chimney are suitable for the operation of the stove.
• We recommend that you call your fitter in order to check both the chimney as well as the air flow for the combustion.
• This product can be installed near the walls as long as the they comply with the following requirements:
• The fitter must assure that the wall is completely made of brick masonry, thermo-clay block, concrete, bricks, etc, and that it is coated by materials
that can support high temperature.Therefore, for any other type of material (drywall, wood, non-ceramic glass, etc), the fitter must provide
sufficient insulation or keep a minimum safety distance to the wall of 80-100 cm.
• Keep any flammable or heat sensitive materials (furniture, curtains, and clothing) at a minimum distance of about 100cm, including the area in
front of the loading door. Measurements below the minimum distances should not be used.

SAFETY MEASURES

During the installation of the equipment, there are risks to be taken into account, so you should follow the next safety measures:
a. Do not place flammable objects above.
b. Do not place the stove near combustible walls.
c. The stove should only be used when the ash pan is inserted.
d. It is recommended to install carbon monoxide detector (CO) in the room where the equipment is installed.
e. Use the glove included for opening and closing the door as well as manipulating the controls as these can be very hot.
f. Solid combustion residues (ashes) should be collected in an airtight container and resistant to fire.
g. The appliance should never be turned on in the presence of emission of gases or vapours (e.g., linoleum glue, gasoline, etc).
h. Do not place nearby flammable materials
WARNING!!
It is noted that both the stove and the glass get very hot and should not be touched.

INTERVENTION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If there is fire in the stove or the flue:
a. Close the loading door.
b. Close primary and secondary air intakes.
c. Put the fire out by using carbon dioxide extinguishers (CO2 powder).
d. Request for the immediate intervention of the fire-fighters.
DO NOT PUT THE FIRE OFF WITH WATER.
WARNING:
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for the malfunction of an installation not subject to the requirements of these instructions or the use of
additional products not appropriate.

4. CHIMNEY

The chimney is of basic importance in the proper functioning of the stove and primarily has two functions:
- Evacuate the smoke and the gas safely out of the house.
- Provide sufficient draft to the stove in order to keep the fire.
Therefore, it is essential that it is made perfectly and that it is subjected to maintenance operations in order to keep it in good condition (many of the
claims due to malfunctioning reasons refer exclusively to a bad draft). The chimney can be made of masonry or metallic pipe compound.
It is necessary to comply with the following requirements for the proper operation of the stove:
• The interior section must be perfectly circular.
• It must be thermally insulated along its entire length in order to prevent condensation (the smoke is liquefied by heat shock) and even more if the
installation is outside the house.
• If we use metallic pipe for the installation outside the house, it is compulsory to use thermal insulated pipe. It consist of two concentric pipes and,
between them, there is a thermal insulator. Moreover, we will avoid condensation problems.
• It should not have bottlenecks (enlargements or reductions) and it must be vertical with deviations not higher that 45º.
• Do not use horizontal sections.
• If it has been used previously, it must be clean.
• Respect the technical data of the instructions manual.
