CONTURA 690 STYLE (01) PDF Document

Before installing your CONTURA 690 STYLE, please consider the following:

Professional Installation: To ensure the function and safety of the stove, we recommend that the installation is carried out by an authorized technician.

Building Application: Before installing a stove or erecting a chimney, it is necessary to make a building application for permission from your local authority. The owner of the house is personally responsible for ensuring compliance with the mandatory safety requirements and must have the installation approved by a qualified inspector. Your local chimney sweep must also be informed about the installation.

Structural Support: Check that the wood joists are strong enough to bear the weight of the stove and chimney. The stove and chimney can usually be placed on a normal wooden joist in a single occupancy house if the total weight does not exceed 400 kg.

Hearth Plate: Due to the risk of falling embers, a flammable floor must be protected by a hearth plate. It must extend 300 mm in front of the stove and 100 mm on each side of the stove, or have a 200 mm extension on each side of the opening. The hearth plate can consist of natural stone, concrete, metal plate, or glass.

Final Inspection: It is extremely important that the installation is inspected by an authorized chimney sweep before the stove is used.

To connect your CONTURA 690 STYLE to a chimney, please follow these guidelines:

• The stove must be connected to a chimney dimensioned for a minimum flue gas temperature of 400°C.

• The external diameter of the connection sleeve is 150 mm.

• Normal chimney draw under nominal operation should be between 20-25 Pa close to the connector. The draft is affected by the length, area, and seal of the chimney.

• The recommended minimum flue length is 3.5 m, and its diameter should be Ø130 to Ø150 mm.

• A flue with sharp bends and horizontal routing reduces the draught. The maximum horizontal flue is 1 m, on the condition that the vertical flue length is at least 5 m.

• It must be possible to sweep the full length of the flue, and the soot hatches must be easily accessible.

• Carefully check that the chimney is sealed and that there is no leakage around soot hatches and flue connections.

When a stove is installed, the demand for air supply to the room increases. Air can be provided indirectly via a vent in the outer wall or via a duct from the outside that is connected to the connector on the underneath of the stove. The amount of air needed for combustion is 15 m³/h.

The connector for the combustion air has an external diameter of 67 mm. When duct routing is further than 1 m, the pipe diameter must be increased to 100 mm, and a correspondingly larger wall vent must be selected.

In hot areas, the duct should be insulated with 30 mm mineral wool with a moisture-inhibiting outer cover. It is also important to seal around the hole in the wall (or floor) of the lead-in using sealant.

The minimum distance in front of the stove opening to combustible parts of the building or interior decoration must be at least 1.2 m.

When connecting to a steel flue, the safety distance between an un-insulated flue and a combustible part of the building should be at least 450 mm.

Please note that a separate glass hearth plate (accessory) increases the connection height to the chimney by 10 mm.

The minimum distances to flammable materials are as follows:

• Rear: 100 mm

• Side: 528 mm

• Ceiling: 750 mm

• Front: 1200 mm

• Floor: 0 mm

• Corner: 100 mm

Yes, fire protection and safety distances to combustible building materials must be observed under all circumstances. A sufficient supply of combustion air must always be guaranteed. Air suction systems can interfere with the combustion air supply.

If the insert needs to be put down to be moved, loose components should be removed. The components to remove are:

1. Grille

2. Grate disc

3. Base cover

4. Hearth cladding (Vermiculite)

5. Type plate

6. Fire bars

The hot air grille must be installed before the chimney top connection.

A damper is supplied with the stones. Close the damper after the last addition of wood to obtain maximum cooling off time. It is important to open the damper at the next lighting. Otherwise, the convection air is prevented from cooling the insert during the firing.

Important notes:

• With top-connected chimneys, the heat tank and the damper must be installed before the chimney.

• Stoves with fans must not be equipped with a convection damper.

The door can be secured in the open position using the locking lever on the left side of the stove.

Please handle the vermiculite parts with care. To remove the hearth surround, follow these steps:

1. Remove the fire bars and grate.

2. Remove the top baffle plate.

3. Remove the side panels.

4. Remove the rear panel.
