READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE SUPPLEMENTARY
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles
to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight
modification to suit particular local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority
Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the
relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 152871:2007 as an
alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following
the guidance given in Approved Document J.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations
that the installation of the stove is either carried out under Local Authority Building
Control approval or is installed by a Competent Person registered with a Government
approved Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of
their Registered Competent Persons can be found on their website at
www.hetas.co.uk

CO Alarms:
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/
biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the
same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide
alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the
appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and
chimney system.

Work Act are met.
