Air supply
A permanent, unobstructed air vent is required. It must
communicate directly with the outside or an adjacent
room which itself has a permanent air vent. The vent
must have a minimum effective area of 550mm
2
per kW
of rated output above 5kW. Position the vent in a place
not liable to accidental blockage.
Extractor fans
If an extractor fan is located close by, it could affect the
stove's performance. The supply of air should be such
that the operation of the stove and chimney are
unaffected when the extractor fan is running. A separate
air supply may be required.
A flue draught interference test will determine whether
the extractor fan is having an effect. Where the fan is in
the same room as the appliance, close all windows and
doors. Where the fan is in an adjacent room, close all
external doors and windows, but leave the internal
doors open. Set the extractor fan to full capacity; after
the fan has established its normal airflow pattern,
perform combustion analyses of the stove at minimum
and maximum outputs. Perform similar tests while the
fan is switched off.
Interference tests should also be carried out if there are
other appliances close by that move air to the outside,
such as tumble dryers.
COMMISSIONING
Ensure all parts are correctly fitted, and that the
stove is set for the correct fuel.
Check the operation of: the door catch (ensuring it
holds the fire door tight); the bottom grate riddling
mechanism (using the tool supplied); the air
regulator wheel; and the air wash control.
Test the flue draught. The minimum draught
required is 0.04 in WG; the maximum allowed is
0.06 in WG.
Light the stove and allow it to reach a steady burn
before checking for fume leakage into the room
open the door and carry out a spillage test.
Demonstrate the methods of operation to the end
user. Explain the need for an annual service and
regular maintenance schedule. Record your details
in the space provided at the rear of this manual.
Ensure these instructions are left in the end user's
possession.
