IMPORTANT
.
The installation of this appliance must comply with all local regulations, including those referring to national
and European Standards before it can be operated. The stove is not suitable for a shared flue. However, for England
and Wales, only, the coming into force on 1st April 2002 of SI 2002 No 440 exempts the householder from this legal
requirement for the installation of solid fuel fired appliance whose rated heat output is 50kW or less in a building
having no more than 3 storeys (excluding any basement) if a Competent Engineer is employed who is registered
under the Registration Scheme for Companies and Engineers involved in the Installation and Maintenance of
Domestic Solid Fuel Fired Equipment operated by HETAS Ltd. These registered Competent Engineers may also carry
out associated building work necessary to ensure that the installed appliance complies with Building Regulations
without involving the Local Authority Building Control Department. The installing engineer should refer to BS
8303: Code of practice for installation of domestic heating and cooking appliances burning solid mineral fuels.
Improper adjustment, alteration, maintenance or the fitting of replacement parts not recommended by the
manufacturer can cause injury or property damage. Do not operate the stove with faulty seals or damaged glass.
Due to the high operating temperatures of this appliance it should be located away from pedestrian traffic
and away from furniture and draperies. Do not store paper or wood near the appliance. Any mats and rugs put
in front of the stove should be fire proof and secured to prevent the possibility of tripping.
Advise all persons as to the stove’s high surface temperatures. If it is possible for children or infirm adults to
come into contact with the stove, fit a suitable fire guard.
It is imperative that all air passageways into, out of, and within the appliance are kept clean. All permanent
ventilation into the room provided for the stove must remain clear and unobstructed at all times. Consideration must
be given to the need for extra ventilation if another heating source needing air is to be operated simultaneously.
If an extraction fan is proposed to be fitted to a connecting area of the house, after the stove has been installed,
professional advice should be sought from a qualified engineer.
The user should be advised that the appliance should be inspected and cleaned regularly and the chimney
cleaned at least annually.
More frequent cleaning may be required and the advice of a qualified chimney sweep should be sought.
Our range of stoves is capable of operating with outstanding efficiency if the flue system is correct. Because
so little heat is wasted to the flue it is possible that moisture within the products of combustion will condense if
the heat losses within the flue way are too great and allow the flue gases to cool. For this reason we recommend
that the stove is fitted with a suitable flue liner, the same diameter as the flue spigot, to prevent the possibility of
acidic damage to the fabric of the chimney and damage to the stove which will reduce the longevity of the stove.
The flue pipe and chimney flue diameter must at no point be less than the diameter of the stove flue outlet. The
installing engineer should refer to BS EN 15287-1:2007 design, installation and commissioning of chimneys.
When correctly installed, the stove is designed to produce heat, safely. It cannot do so if the installation is
less than absolutely stable, constructed of materials suitable for such an installation and consideration has not
been given to the possibility of people with less than ideal common sense operating it.
Have the existing chimney swept by a chimney sweep. Although you will be lining the chimney, any deposits
left in the chimney will cause problems and may become a fire hazard.
Your attention is drawn to the precautions and responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Acts,
and whatever new legislation being introduced during the life of this document. Especially to the possibility of
disturbing asbestos when disturbing structures in older properties. Also the caustic nature of fire cement. The
personal risk of injury when moving heavy items with possible sharp edges.
