The chimney must be swept before connection to the stove and swept every
twelve months thereafter. It is recommended that your chimney is swept every
six months.
An existing fireplace opening can be modified to accommodate the stove. The
following pages identify some typical installation scenarios and provides the
necessary specific installation information for your new stove. Always consult
your stove supplier for a detailed survey of your particular circumstances.
To make it easier to handle the stove on installation, remove the baffle plates,
bricks and door. Place in a secure place to avoid damage. Refit after
installation.
Upon completion of installation, the appliance should be checked under fire for
soundness of joints and seals, and also that all smoke and fumes are taken from
the appliance, up the chimney and emitted safely.
Typical Installation for Inglenook Fireplaces – top flue
Inglenook fireplaces can have very
large bore chimneys. Check with your
installer – you are likely to require a
stainless steel flexible liner for solid
fuel if your chimney is larger than
230mm x 230mm. A closure plate
with access for cleaning may also be
required together with a short length
of flue pipe of the same diameter as
the stove flue collar.
