HEALTH AND SAFETY 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.

This is particularly necessary if

the room is double glazed. It must be positioned such that it is not
liable to blockage.

This stove is not suitable for use in a shared flue system.

In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS.8303 and
BS EN15287-1:2007 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.

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 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.

CHIMNEY

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. For the

chimney must not be less than 150mm (6 inches) internal diameter or

There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the
appliance is installed to provide combustion air. The

5kW output and therefore a permanent air vent is not normally
required. The combustion air supply for Island 2 & 3 must be via a

permanently open vent. Minimum free areas are:

150 x 150mm internal square. For the

Island 3

be less than 175mm (7 inches) internal diameter or 175 x 175mm
internal square. 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 EN15287-1:2007 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 Anki
Chimney Systems on (01983) 527997.

Single wall flue pipe, of diameter no less than the stove outlet, 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 0.10 inches water gauge
(25Pa). If in doubt about the chimney seek expert advice.
