5. Pay attention to the following before and during installation:
In the first step, the location and the way of connection of the purchased appliance has to be chosen with consideration of
the safety instructions.
The chimney must be suitable for operating the stove.
Installation of your stove must be installed by a competent person; an example is a person or organisation that is registered
with HETAS. Applying the local regulations a chimney sweep/competent expert has to issue a written authorization to use the
stove. Make sure you get a record of the receipt.
Examination of the chimney happens according to the local rules which are usually national or European standards.
The local rules should be taken into consideration during the installation of the connecting flue pipe as well. These are usually
national or European standards.
Permanent Air Vent
The stove requires a permanent air vent to the room . This is to provide adequate air supply in order for the stove to operate
safely and efficiently. In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply
vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances
be shut off or sealed.Necessary air supply for proper burning has to be ensured. In hermetically insulated rooms a separate air
inlet pipe is needed to guarantee a sufficient supply of air for the operation of the fireplace. It is also necessary in the case of
rooms with forced aeration system (e.g. an extractor fan)
If it is possible, a solution must be found for turning off these appliances.
Use of DANBURN stoves in buildings with hermetic insulation and mechanical airing systems is NOT allowed unless a
independent air supply is supplied.
Choose a location for the stove close to the chimney to prevent the use of an extended connecting pipe.
The location of the stove installation has to be flat and level.
Make sure that the floor has the necessary load-bearing capacity. The weight of the appliance can be found in this manual. In
case the load-bearing capacity of the floor is too low, usage of a plate for better load distribution might help. If the problem
exists you should seek professional help.
Commissioning and Handover
Ensure loose parts (brick and grates) are fitted in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction booklet. On
completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, a small fire may be lit
to check that smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely into the atmosphere. Do not run
at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left with the
customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used in the stove and
notify them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove. Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted
from the stove.
The customer should be warned to use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
