USER MANUAL FOR STOVES WITHOUT BOILERS
SUPPLEMENTARY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UK MARKET
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles
to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight
modification to suit particular local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority
Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the
relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007 as an
alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following
the guidance given in Approved Document J.
Should any conflict apply between these instructions and the original manufacturers
instructions then the most stringent advice must apply.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations
that the installation of the stove is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control
approval or is installed by a Competent Person registered with a Government approved
Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their
Registered Competent Persons can be found on their website at
www.hetas.co.uk
.
CO Alarms:-
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or
wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted
in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon
monoxide alarm is availabl
e in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing
the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and
chimney system.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at
Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case
of contact wash immediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
