HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CHIMNEY
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.
This appliance is not suitable for use in a shared flue system. It is
capable of intermittent operation.
There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the
appliance is installed via a permanently open vent. Minimum free
areas are:-
Country 6 5.5cm (0.9in )
Country 8
This is particularly necessary if the room is double glazed. Air grilles
must be positioned such that they are not liable to blockage.
In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS.8303 and BS
EN 15287-1:2007 must be fulfilled. Local Authority Bylaws and
Building Regulations regarding the installation of Solid Fuel burning
appliances, flues and chimneys must also be observed, including those
referring to national and European standards.
n 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 175 mm (7 inches) or 200mm (8
inches) either square or round and MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 150
mm (6 INCHES).
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 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.
If there is no existing chimney then a prefabricated block chimney or
a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS.4543 can be used
either internally or externally. These chimneys must be fitted in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions and Building
Regulations.
Anki pumice liners or chimney blocks will give a highly insulated
chimney which will work well with all fuels. For details ring (01983)

Single wall flue pipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the
chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney.
If it is found that there is excessive draw in the chimney then a
draught stabilizer should be fitted.
It is important that there is sufficient draw in the chimney and that
the chimney does not suffer from down-draught. When the chimney
is warm the draw should be not less than 2.5mm (0.10 inches) water
gauge (25 Pa). If in doubt about the chimney seek expert advice.
There must be a gap behind the stove of at least 25mm to allow air
to enter the airwash inlets.
The positioning of the stove and the size of the hearth are
SPECIFICATION
HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND
The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth and must be situated at
least the following distances from any combustible material:-
The hearth temperature can, in extreme
conditions, exceed 100°C and therefore a constructional hearth is
required.
