Although the appliance does not contain asbestos products, it is possible that
asbestos may be disturbed in existing installations and every precaution must be
taken.
These instructions give a guide for the installation of the appliance but in no way
absolves the installer from responsibilities to conform to British Standards, in
particular BS8303 and BS EN 15287:2007, relating to the installation of solid fuel
appliances.
Permanent ventilation may be required in accordance with the guidelines given in
Approved Document J of The Building Regulations.
All local regulations, including those referring to National and European standards
need to be complied with when installing the appliance.
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 320cm² (Ø200mm). If a flue liner is
used it should be 125mm diameter (5") and suitable for solid fuel.
Be a minimum 4.5m 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 the stove is installed as a free standing 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 soot to be removed (See Fig. 1).
A flue/chimney access point may also be required so that the state of the chimney
can be checked and any fallen soot removed.
External flues must be insulated to prevent heat loss.
