IMPORTANT! All local regulations, including those referring to national or European
law must be complied with when your fire place is installed.
The way in which the fire place is installed will influence its safety and the way it
works.
It is very important that it is installed correctly.
In order to ensure that it is correctly installed it is advisable that this is done by a
professional.
For your own safety you must follow these recommendations when the fire place is
installed:
- The base of your fireplace must be flat and level. The support base must be made out of
heat resistant materials. If the base of the fireplace can not bear such a heavy load then a
weight distribution plate must be used.
- The base of the fireplace must be free from rubble and waste materials which could catch
fire when a fire is lit.
- The fireplace must never be wrapped in heat proof material as this could damage it. When a fire
is going to be lit at the same time as other heaters which need air for combustion it is
recommended that extra air from outside is allowed to enter the room to help combustion.
If one or more heaters are working in the same room this could mean that there is
less oxygen making combustion difficult and reducing the draft.
It is recommended to install your fireplace so that you have access to the
interior so that it can be cleaned especially at the entrance of the hood.
The MALLORCA fireplace must not be installed when there is a shared
chimney.
Special requirements for places where the fireplace is installed for open fires.
Open fires may only be positioned in places where the situation, construction conditions
and the type of use will not be dangerous. If the fireplace depends on external air sufficient
air must be provided for combustion.
It is not advisable to install open stoves in:
• Airtight premises,
• Shared halls,
• Garages,
• Places where inflammable or explosive products are prepared or stored in large
enough quantities which could be dangerous if there is a fire.
• Rooms or dwellings which are ventilated or heated by air conditioning or air heating
equipment (hot and cold) with the help of ventilators unless it is certain that the
stove will function correctly.
A.- Assembly.
In order to assembly the Mallorca fireplace a chimney must be installed ("draft"),
with metal pipes which are long enough to be at least 1 metre higher than the top of the
roof.
If there is an existing chimney the assembly has to be carried out by joining it with
the Mallorca fireplace.
