Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not
independently supported. The weight of the stove is indicated in the brochure.
The stove should preferably be installed on a non­combustible hearth of a size and construction that is in
accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls adja­
cent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in
Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor surface, it must be covered with a non­combustible ma­
terial at least 12mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a distance of
30 cm in front of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there must be an adequate air supply into the room in
which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. The provision of air supply to the stove must be in
accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate
for this purpose.
Connection to chimney
Stoves may have a choice of either a rear or top flue gas connector that allows connection to either a ma­
sonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with their instruc­
tions. In some cases it may be necessary to fit an adaptor to increase the diameter of the flue to the mini­
mum required 150 mm section of the chimney or liner.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out,
before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under fire check all seals for soundness and check that the flue
is functioning correctly and that all products of combustion are vented safely to atmosphere via the chimney
terminal.
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 and warn them to
use only the recommended fuel 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 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of children, aged and/or
infirm persons.
