There must be a permanent unobstructed fresh air supply in to the room,
in which this appliance is installed. This must be equal to a total of
1375mm². Ventilation air may be supplied directly from outside via a
3”/Ø80.0mm heat resistant pipe connected to the rear of the stove.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installer has a responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to
provide for the safety of persons carrying out the installation.
Attention is drawn to the fact that fire cement is caustic and hands must be washed
thoroughly after use.
The appliance is heavy and care must be taken during handling.
Although the appliance does not contain asbestos products, it is possible that
asbestos may be disturbed in existing installations and every precaution must be
taken.
These instructions give a guide for the installation of the appliance but in no way
absolves the installer from responsibilities to conform to British Standards, in
particular BS8303 and BS EN 15287:2007, relating to the installation of solid fuel
appliances.
All local regulations, including those referring to National and European standards
need to be complied with when installing the appliance.
CHIMNEY& FLUE
The successful operation of this appliance relies on the adequate performance of the
chimney to which it is connected.
This Appliance is not suitable for installations in a shared flue system.
The chimney must:
Have an internal cross section of no less than 320cm² (Ø200mm). If a flue liner is
used it should be 125mm diameter (5") and suitable for solid fuel.
Be a minimum 4.5m high from hearth level to pot.
Be terminated at least 1m above roof level so that the chimney does not terminate
in a pressure zone (see Fig. 2).
Be free from cracks, severe bends, voids and obstructions.
Be connected to this one appliance only.
New chimneys must be tested in accordance with HETAS requirements.
If the stove is installed as a free standing appliance, it should not support any part
of the chimney.
Voids in the chimney should be avoided, as these will prevent a steady flue
draught.
The stove flue pipe should pass beyond the narrowing of the chimney (see Fig. 1).
Consideration should be given to falling soot. For rear outlet stoves it may be
necessary to provide a soot catchment area in the flue pipe so that soot does not
