RIKA IDEA Montageanleitung Seite 32

Prior to set up
Floor bearing capacity
Ensure that the substructure is capable of bearing the weight of the stove prior
to set-up.
Note
No modifications may be made to the firing installation. This also leads to loss
of warranty and guarantee.
Floor protection
A base is required (glass, sheet steel or ceramic) if the floor is combustible
(wood, carpet, etc.).
Flue pipe connection
Flue pipes pose a particular source of hazard regarding gas leaks and
Q
fire. Get the advice of an authorised specialist company for the layout and
assembly.
Please observe the corresponding installation guidelines for walls panelled
Q
with wood when connecting your flue pipes to the stove.
Observe the formation of flue gas (atmospheric inversion) and draughts
Q
when the weather is unfavourable.
Infeed of too little combustion air can lead to smoke in the rooms or to flue
Q
gas leaks. Hazardous deposits in the stove and chimney may also occur.
If flue gas escapes, let the fire burn out and check whether all the air inlet
Q
openings are free and the flue gas pipes and the stove pipe are clean. If in
doubt notify the master chimney sweep since draught malfunctions may be
connected to your chimney.
Stoves type 1 (BA 1):
Suitable for multiple occupancy. (Note the different country regulations.)
Q
These may only be operated with the combustion chamber door closed.
Q
The combustion chamber door may only be opened to add fuel and must
Q
then be closed again otherwise other firing installations connected to the
chimney may be endangered.
The combustion chamber door is to be kept closed when the stove is not
Q
in operation.
Fouling of the chimney i.e. deposits of highly inflammable materials such as
Q
soot and tar and subsequently fire in the chimney may occur if wet fuel is
used and operation is damped too much.
If this occurs, close the fresh air support (slider, regulator, flaps - depending
Q
on model)! Disconnect the mains plug at the stoves type Rikatronic.
Phone the fire brigade and get yourself and other residents out of harm's
way.
Note
The size of the combustion chamber door makes it necessary, particularly
with post-heating when ablaze, not to open the door too abruptly to prevent
the tips of the flames reaching out.
Note
on ROOM-AIR DEPENDENT and ROOM-AIR INDEPENDENT OPERATION:
Combustion chamber door without a locking mechanism:
Your stove has been tested as a room-air dependent stove according to EN
13240 and takes all the combustion air from the installation room via the
central air intake on the back of the stove.
In combination with room-air installations (e.g. controlled ventilation
and venting systems (extractors etc.) it must be ensured that the stove
and the room air system are monitored and safeguarded mutually (e.g.
via a differential pressure controller etc.). The combustion air infeed of
approx. 20 m3/h must be ensured.
Combustion chamber door with a locking mechanism:
Only in case of the airtight connecting of the air supply line and flue pipes
the stove is certificated for FC41x (for the LAS system) and FC51x models
the approval principles for the inspection and evaluation of ambient air
independent fireplaces specified by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik
(DIBT) (German Institute for Building Technology) and the draft standard
"Requirements for testing ambient air independence, Part 1: Room heaters"
of the FNH standards committee (dated February 2004). The stove may
be operated in air-tight rooms and in rooms with room-air installations (e.g.
controlled ventilation and venting systems, extractors etc.)
Please observe the respective local regulations and rules in consultation with
your master chimney sweep. For changes after the printing of this manual, we
can not assume any liability. We reserve the right to change without notice.
