These instructions give a guide for the installation of the appliance but in no way
absolves the installer from responsibilities to confirm to British Standards, in particular
BS8303 and BS6461, relating to the installation of solid fuel appliances. All local
regulations, including those referring to National and European standards need to be
complied with when installing the appliance.
Warning: Parts of the appliance, especially the external surfaces, will be hot to touch
when in operation and due care will need to be taken.
CHIMNEY& FLUE
The successful operation of this appliance relies on the adequate performance of the
Chimney to which it is connected.
This Appliance is not suitable for installations in a shared flue system.
The chimney must:

Have an internal cross section of no less than 320cm
2
(Ø200mm). If a flue liner
is used it should be 5’’ diameter (125mm) and suitable for solid fuel.

Be a minimum 4.6m high from hearth level to pot.

Be terminated at least 1m above roof level so that the chimney does not
terminate in a pressure zone (see Fig.2).

Be free from cracks, severe bends, voids and obstructions.

Be connected to this one appliance only.

New chimneys must be tested in accordance with HETAS requirements.

If this stove is installed as a freestanding appliance, it should not support any
part of the chimney.

Voids in the chimney should be avoided, as these will prevent a steady flue
draught.

The stove flue pipe should pass beyond the narrowing of the chimney (see Fig.
1).

Consideration should be given to falling soot. For rear outlet stoves it may be
necessary to provide a soot catchment area in the flue pipe so that soot does
not settle in the path of the flue gases. The optional rear flue box attachment
available from ESSE has a detachable base that allows for fallen soot to be
removed (See Fig.1).
