FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Fixing the stove to the hearth
Firstly, remove the baffle plates, fire grate and carrier
frame from inside the stove because you will need
access to the flueway (to attach the flue collar) and
the stove base (to anchor the stove body to the
hearth). This will also make the stove lighter and
easier to make the minute adjustments for its final
position. See pages 8 and 9.
Any gaps at the back and sides of the stove and the
fireplace aperture should eventually be filled with a
non-combustible insulation material such as rockwool,
fireboard, vermiculite panel or vermiculite granules to
help maintain the stove’s performance.
Temporarily place the stove inside the fireplace recess
and ensure that it is both level and makes a good fit.
Where the stove anchor screws (not supplied) will
eventually penetrate the hearth (these go through the
two pre-drilled holes in the left and right hand sides
of the base of the stove) these area should be sound
and fit to take secure fixings.
Mark the two fixing points for later drilling. Use both
fixings to avoid the stove body rocking.
When finally drilling the fixing holes be sure to use the
correct drill bit so as not to damage or crack any
existing decorative hearth plate.
If you cannot find a suitable fixing point, then drill
new holes in the base of the stove where you know
that can eventually ensure a good fixing. A secure fit
will prevent the stove from moving as eve the slightest
movement over time could potentially break any air-
tight seal between the liner and the stove flue collar.
Attaching the flue collar and flexible liner
A flue collar and two bolts are provided to attach the
flexible liner to the top of stove and to make a safe
joint between the two.
Fit the bolts to the flue collar first (nut end down) as
it is easier and safer to do this now rather than when
the collar has been attached to the liner which will
have extremely sharp edges.
When the flexible flue liner has been pulled into place
through the chimney (firstly, ensuring that the liner is
the correct way up), the flue collar can then be
attached to the liner by using the self-tapping screws
(A) held in position through the pre-drilled holes on
the side of the flue collar.
The flue collar fits around the flue liner (see above)
so that any potential creosote or condensates will run
down the inside of the liner and then into the stove
rather than cause a build-up around the top of the
stove which could eventually leak or cause a possible
fire hazard.
If necessary use fire cement and / or fire rope to make
sure the joint is completely air-tight.
The stove can then be replaced and permanently fixed
inside the recess. If you need to insulate the sides and
rear of the stove with loose vermiculite, this can be
undertaken through the stove’s flueway once both
baffle plates have been removed and before the collar
is attached. By manipulating the vermiculite into place
by hand this will ensure that when you eventually fill
the void with vermiculite, from the top of the flue
liner, that no un-insulated gaps are created around the
stove.
The flue collar, with the liner attached, can finally be
