HEALTH AND SAFET Y PRECAUTIONS
Please take care when installing the stove that the requirements of
the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are met.
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to
come into contact with the skin. In case of contact wash with plenty
of water.
If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please use appropriate protective equipment.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the
stove as this can cause the appliance to emit fumes into the room.
.
Minimium areas are given in the following table:
This stove is capable of intermittent operation, and is not suitable for
use in a shared flue system.
In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS.8303 and
BSEN 15287-1:2007 must be fulfilled. Local Authority Bylaws and
Building Regulations, including those referring to national and
European Standards, regarding the installation of Solid Fuel burning
appliances, flues and chimneys must also be observed.
Building regulations require that whenever 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 available 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.
CO ALARMS
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
5.0m /(h.m ), but in some modern properties it may be less.

The
vent must be positioned such that it is not liable to blockage
SPECIFICATION
CHIMNEY
The outputs in the table are based on a 45 minute re-fuelling cycle
burning seasoned hardwood logs. All tests are carried out in
accordance with BSEN 13240.
In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily the chimney
height must not be less than 4 metres measured vertically from the
outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney. The internal dimensions
of the chimney should preferably be 1
75 mm (7") or 200mm (8")
either square or round and MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 125 mm
(5") for C-Four and C-Five or 150mm (6") for C-Six, C-Seven and C-
Eight.
If an existing chimney is to be used it must be swept and checked, it
must be in good condition, free from cracks and blockages, and
should not have an excessive cross sectional area. If it was previously
used by an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month
after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due
to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire.
If you find that the chimney is in poor condition then expert advice
should be sought regarding the necessity of having the chimney lined.
If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a lining suitable for
Solid Fuel must be used.
