Check Building Codes
• When installing, operating and maintaining your stove, follow the guidelines presented in
these instructions, and make them available to anyone using or servicing the stove.
•
Your city, town, county or province may require a building permit to install a solid fuel
burning appliance.
• In the U.S., the National Fire Protection Association's Code, NFPA 211, Standards for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, or similar regulations, may
apply to the installation of a solid fuel burning appliance in your area.
•
Always consult your local building inspector or authority having jurisdiction to
determine what regulations apply in your area
.
Before installing your stove
You need to consider the following to ensure the safe operation of your stove:
• Provision of adequate air to support efficient combustion of the fuel
• A well-sealed flue/chimney system, herein after referred to as the "flue system"
• The protection of combustible materials in proximity to the stove
Adequate air provision
It is essential for the safe and efficient use of your stove that you provide an adequate air supply
when lighting a fire, especially if there are extraction units such as cooker hoods or clothes
dryers in the vicinity. Crack the door open a little and allow air to enter. Once the air in the stove
and the flue stabilize, you can then close the door of the stove. Failure to do so will mean that
fuel is burned inefficiently, causing smoke and blackening the glass and may also cause smoke
to come back into the room.
