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 Stove may now be moved to its
final position. The pallet is intended to be cut up and used for kindling
fuel.
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.
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
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.
CO ALARMS
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.
