HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Please take care when installing the appliance that the
requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 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 equipment.
There must not be an extractor fan in the same room as the
appliance as this can cause the appliance to emit fumes into the
room.
There must be an adequate air supply to the room in which the
appliance is installed totalling at least 8 square cm. (1.2 square
inches) to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if
the room is double glazed.
BSEN 15287-1:2007
This stove is capable of intermittent operation when burning

This stove 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

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 a excessive cross sectional area (e.g. greater than
250mm x 250mm). 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 found necessary to line
the chimney then a lining suitable for Solid Fuel must be used.

These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions and Building Regulations.
