preferably be 175 mm (7 inches) or 200mm (8 inches) internal
diameter or square with sides of 175mm or 200mm internally and
MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 150mm (6 INCHES) INTERNAL
DIAMETER OR 150 x 150mm 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 (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 the stove is fitted in place of 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 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
can be used either internally or
externally. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions and Building Regulations.
Single wall flue pipe is suitable for connecting the appliance 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.

1. INSTALLATION AS AN INSET STOVE
The SLX 45 is supplied with one of two panel packs that makes it
either an Inset stove SLX45i or a Freestanding stove SLX45fs. The
following sections apply specifically to the Inset Installation. The
Freestanding installation is mentioned later
HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND
The appliance must be installed on a fireproof hearth. The positioning
of the appliance and the size of the hearth are governed by building
regulations for Solid Fuel appliances. These building regulations state
that the hearth must extend in front of the appliance by at least
300mm (12 inches) and to the sides by at least 150mm (6 inches). If
in doubt as to the positioning of the appliance expert advice should
be sought either from the supplier or the local building inspector.
The fireplace must allow sufficient airflow around the appliance to
provide combustion air and to allow the heat to be transferred to the
room. The fire surround must be able to withstand the temperatures
generated in normal use. If a wooden mantel is used it should be at
least 200mm (8 inches) above the appliance. Wooden surrounds
must be at least 100mm (4 inches) from the sides of the appliance. In
order for the appliance to fit into the fire surround there must be a
flat area around the opening, details are shown in Fig. 5.
PREPARATION OF FIREPLACE
Before fitting the appliance into an existing fireplace remove the
fireback and any loose in-fill material.
The surround and opening for the appliance must conform with Fig.
5. The flat area around the opening should be a minimum of 750 mm
wide and 660 mm high. Ensure that the hearth and the base in the
opening are flat, level, and at right angles to the surround.
