INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING THE STOVE
The stove arrives bolted and strapped to its pallet. There must be
adequate facilities for unloading and manoeuvring into position. The
wrapping is first removed, then the stove released from the pallet by
removing 4 pallet bolts using a 10mm spanner. The pallet brackets
can now be removed from the stove by tilting it and using a 13mm
spanner to remove the bolts. The bolts should be refitted and used
for levelling the stove. The pallet is intended to be cut up and used
for kindling fuel.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please take care when installing the stove.
Ideally there should not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room
as the appliance. If this situation is unavoidable then specialist advice
should be taken to ensure that the extractor fan does not cause the
appliance to emit fumes into the room. The external air kit will help
with this in some situations. Alternatively, an additional air supply
correctly positioned may be necessary. It is essential to carry out a
spillage test to ensure that the appliance can operate safely when the
extractor fan is operating.
There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the
appliance is installed to provide combustion air. The combustion air
supply must be via a permanently open vent. The requirement for
minimum free area is partly dependent on the design air permeability
of the house. In older properties the air permeability will be above
5.0m³/(h.m²), but in some modern properties it may be less.
The vent must be positioned such that it is not liable to blockage.
Minimium areas are given in the following table:
A fixed ducted air supply may be used as an alternative to the
traditional method of using a permanent open vent into a room to
supply air for combustion.
External air supply kits are available please contact Charnwood for
more information. Instruction sheet ref: TIS 120
It is recommended that a carbon monoxide alarm is installed
in the same room as the appliance, in accordance with the alarm
manufacturer’s instructions.
SPECIFICATION
FLUE
In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily the flue
must give sufficient draw when warm (minimum of
12pa/0.05” wg). The height of the flue must comply with
local building regulation requirements. The internal dimensions
of the flue
MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 150mm (6”).
The listed flue’s construction and installation must comply with
the requirements of AS/NZS2918:2018 and must also meet local
building codes. The flue must be suitable for burning solid fuel, lined
in good condition and at least 4.6m in height from the base of the
appliance. The flue and all its component’s must be installed according
to the manufacturer’s instructions. The flue exit requirements of AS/
NZS2918:2018 are 1000mm above the roof and 600mm above any
projection within 3000mm, see flue clearances diagram (page 15).
This stove is not suitable for use in a shared flue system.
It is important that there is sufficient draw in the flue and that the flue
does not suffer from down-draught. When the flue is warm the draw
should be not less than 1.25mm (0.05”) water gauge (12 Pa). If in
doubt about the chimney seek expert advice.
HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND
The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth and must not be situated
closer than the minimum distance from combustible materials to
the sides or rear above hearth level unless adequately fireproofed
in accordance with local building regulations. If installed on a
combustible floor, floor protection must be provided in the form of
a non-combustible material to the minimum specifications described
