should not have an excessive cross sectional area. If it was previously 
used by 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 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 BSEN 15287-1:2007 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 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 
stabiliser 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 1.25mm (0.05") water 
gauge (12 Pa). If in doubt about the chimney seek expert advice.

HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND

The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth and must not be situated 
closer than the minimum distance from combustible materials (see 
specification table) to the sides or rear above hearth level unless 
adequately fireproofed in accordance with local building regulations. 
The hearth must be of fireproof material and at least 12mm (1/2in.) 
thick. The positioning of the stove and the size of the hearth are 
governed by building regulations for Class 1 appliances. These 
building regulations state that the hearth must extend in front of the 
stove by at least 225mm (9 in.) and to the sides of the stove by at 
least 150mm (6 in.). 

If in doubt as to the positioning of the stove, expert advice should be 
sought either from the supplier or the local building inspector. The 
fireplace must allow good circulation of air around the appliance to 
ensure that maximum heat is transferred to the room and also to 
prevent the fireplace from overheating. A gap of 150mm (6") each 
side and 300mm (12") above the appliance should give sufficient air 
circulation. If a wooden mantelpiece or beam is used in the fireplace it 
should be a minimum of 460mm (18"), and preferably 600mm (24") 
from the appliance. In some situations it may be necessary to shield 

When the fire door is open, it extends beyond 

the flat front of the stove by 436mm.

the beam or mantelpiece to protect it.

In order for the fire to operate correctly and to allow for access, 
there must be an air gap behind the appliance of at least 75mm, but 
be aware that this distance will need to be greater in some cases to 
meet Building Regulation requirements.

The appliance should be installed on a floor with adequate load-
bearing capacity. If an existing construction does not meet this 
requirement then please take suitable measures to achieve this. (e.g. 
load distributing plate.)
