5. Installing the wood-burning stove

Requirements concerning the site of installation The wood-burning stove may only be installed in rooms and places where, according to the position, struc- tural circumstances and type of use, no hazards will occur. To ensure correct operation of the wood-burning stove, the area around the site of installation must be appropriately designed and large enough to ensure an adequate inflow of air for combustion . When installing the wood-burning stove, the building regulations and fire protection regulations of the country of use must be observed. Your authorised local chimney sweep can provide you with the neces- sary information about this. He will also provide you with the approval for the connection to the chimney. Your wood-burning stove corresponds to design type 1. This means that several stoves of this type may be connected to one chimney. The chimney is assessed in accordance with DIN 4705 part 1 or part 2. The trip- le-point values required for this purpose can be found in the technical data for the individual types. The connection to the chimney must be carried out professionally, taking into account the requirements from DIN 18 160. Make sure that the installation surface is firmly secure with respect to fire safety. The load-bearing capacity of the installation surface must be verified, taking the weight of the wood-burning stove into consideration. Notifying the authorities Before installing a new chimney flue, you must notify the competent authorities of the building work. The building authorities will provide you with more precise information Inspections After completing the installation of your wood-burning stove, your authorised local chimney sweep (in Ba- varia, this also includes registered specialist companies) must always inspect your work before you are allowed to light the stove for the first time. This applies regardless of whether you have connected the stove to an already existing chimney flue or whether you have installed a completely new flue. Chimney flue The diameter of the flue must be at least 150 mm. If you intend to connect your stove to an existing flue installed in your house, ask a chimney sweep to inspect

the flue so that he can suggest any possible renovation work that may be required. The connection pipe must be approved for a minimum smoke temperature of 350°C.

Flue pipe Flue pipes represent a particular source of danger with regard to leaking toxic fumes and the risk of fire. You must seek the advice of a licensed specialist company concerning their assembly and installation. When connecting your flue pipe, follow the appropriate installation guidelines in areas which have wood panelling on the walls.
