Installation
Key Installation Requirements
We recommend that this stove is fitted in a tiled or stone frame, or a suite. It is possible to install the stove directly in the wall using high temperature render
and plaster, however even this can show hairline cracks due to the high temperatures that can be generated above the stove.
There should be no gaps behind or to the side of the stove in order to prevent chimney debris collecting.
If there is a gap behind the stove it should be filled with vermiculite granules topped with mortar. The fire should have an absolutely airtight seal against the
fireplace. When fitting this stove with a trim, a gap will be required between the flange and back panel to allow the trim to be attached, please see the
relevant trim instructions for further guidance.
A non-combustible base should be created for the stove to sit upon.
The appliance should be installed on floors with an adequate load-bearing capacity. If an existing construction does not meet this pre-requisite, suitable
measures (e.g. load distributing plate) should be taken to achieve it.
Fixing Stove in Place
A clearance of at least 600mm in width is required to fit the stove; it is designed
to fit under most lintels.
The flue collar is secured in place by two M6 nuts that can be accessed from the
inside of the stove. The collar should be removed before the stove is positioned
and then re-attached (for details of how to remove stove internals to access flue
collar see the “Maintenance” section on previous page).
It is the responsibility of the installer to confirm if a flue liner is required, see the
“Your Chimney” section on previous page for more details.
Some suggested methods of installation are detailed below:
In specifically designed suites:
With specifically designed tile sets:
With specifically designed frames:
Key Points for this installation:
The slips must be backfilled
A choice of trims, either bevelled or square
profiled, can be used.
Key Points for this installation:
The wall must be structurally sound.
All surrounding plasterwork must be sound.
It is recommended that the wall above the stove is
rendered and plastered using products with a high
temperature resistance. Even if this precaution is
taken it should be noted that over firing the stove can
still result in hairline cracks appearing due to the
excessive temperatures generated.
High temperature adhesive should be
used and
applied to the whole tile, ask your retailer for a
suitable product.
Key points for this installation:
The wall must be structurally sound.
All surrounding plasterwork must be sound.
A specifically designed bracket is included with the
frame and must be chased into the wall to a depth of
10mm such that the bottom of the slip is 160mm
below the bottom of the stove (excluding the trim). It
is the responsibility of the fitter to ensure that
adequate fixings are used such that the bracket is
securely fixed to the wall and can take the weight of
the whole frame.
Suitable high temperature adhesive must be used and
must be applied to the whole rear surface of each slip
of the frame.
