2. Installation instructions
2.1. Warning to the user
All the local and national regulations, and in
particular those relating to national and European
standards, must be observed when installing the
appliance.
An incorrectly installed heating appliance can
cause serious accidents
(chimney fires, burning of
plastic insulation materials, in partition walls, etc.).
The insulation of both the appliance and the
exhaust gas pipe has to be reinforced
and done
a c c o r d i n g t o t h e St a n d a r d s a n d t h e B u i l d i n g
Regulations for safety reasons.
Failure to respect the mounting instructions leads to
engage the responsibility of the one doing the
installation.
The manufacturer’s responsibility shall be limited to the
supply of the equipment.
2.2. Location of the unit
Ventilation
: For satisfactory appliance operation with a
natural draught, check that sufficient air for combustion
is available in the room.
Position of the unit :
For new installations, select a
central position within the house, to provide a good heat
distribution around the building. The heat distribution
towards the other rooms will be made through the
communicating doors.
These rooms must be in negative pressure or must
include ventilation gratings.
Floor and walls :
Make sure they are not combustible
or covered with combustible material (as per the
Building regulations).

a
non-combustible protection.
There must be a clearance of at least 150 mm at each
side of the appliance and at the back of the appliance
from a non-combustible wall.
This distance must be extended to a minimum
clearance of 350 mm from any combustible materials.
This measurement may be reduced to a minimum gap
of 50 mm when the non-combustible wall is at least
200 mm thick.
When using a single wall
flue pipe, there must be a
clearance (A) of at least
three times its diameter
(B) from any combustible
materials.
If the appliance has to be
located in an opening, this
d i s t a n c e
m u s t

extended to a minimum
clearance (A) of 375 mm
from the pipe or the stove
body to any combustible
materials.
Hearth :
-
T h e a p p l i a n c e m u s t
s t a n d o n a f i r e p r o o f
hearth.
-
It is possible to provide a hearth made of non
combusible board/sheet material or tiles at least 12
mm thick.
-
Constructional hearths should be constructed of solid
non combustible material at least 125 mm thick
(including the thickness of any non combustible floor
under the hearth).
-
The hearth must protrude at least 225 mm in front of
the stove and 150 mm each side.
-
If the hearth is constructed on timber, there must be a
clearance of at least 250 mm from the timber to the top
surface of the hearth.
-
See section J of the Building regulations.
2.3. Chimney
The chimney must comply with Current Building
Regulations. If in doubt, consult your Dealer or local
Building Inspector.
Existing flue :
-
The flue must be suitable for the installation of fuel
burning appliances, otherwise it must necessary to
install a tubing.
-
The flue must be in good condition and must provide
sufficient draught. (refer to technical details p. 3).
-
The flue must be clean. It should be swept to remove
soot and dislodge tar deposits.
-
The flue must be well insulated. If the flue inner wall
surfaces are cold, a good thermal draw is impossible
causing condensation problems (tar formation etc) to
occur.
-
The flue must be watertight.
-
The chimney must have a constant cross section.
-
The flue must not be shared with any other appliance.
-
The chimney must be at least 4.5 m (15 ft high).
-
In case of a flat roof or when the roof gradient is lower
than 15°, the stack must be 1,2 m (4 feet) high at least.
-
The capping must not restrain the draught.
-
If the chimney has any downdraught tendency, due to
its position in relation to nearby obstacles, an
anti-downdraught cowl must be installed on the
chimney or the chimney height must be increased.
