Zeta 10 Series Manual - V1.1

Building regulations regarding these appliances govern that the hearth must extend at least
300mm out in front of the stove and 250mm to each side. For safety we recommend that you
ensure there is a minimum of 300mm clearance around the entire appliance. This appliance
needs a good amount of air circulation around it, however if you are installing the stove in a
fireplace ensure that there is at least 250mm gap to each side and at least 300mm above the top
of the stove in order to prevent overheating and allow for good heat output.
You may wish to connect the rear Air Wash vent up to an external supply of air, this can be done
provided the connection is secure and doesn’t prevent the Air Wash Control from opening and
closing fully. A rear clearance of 75mm is still recommended in these circumstances. Also you will
need to consider how close your mantelpiece or any other objects directly above the fireplace
are, to prevent damage due to high temperatures.
Flue Connection
The Zeta Series has a top output connection, the type of installation that is best for your home
will depend on the chosen location for the stove. You must ensure that all building and health and
safety regulations that apply to your chosen type of installation are conformed to before you begin
to use the stove. Your stove will normally be delivered assembled ready for connection.
Connecting The Flue
The flue collar must be sealed with fire cement and all flue connections must be well sealed.
Any horizontal sections of flue must not be longer than 150mm. With most flue connections
your installer should fit a soot door in your chimney to allow access to sweep it, alternatively this
chimney can be swept through the stove
(see Chimney Sweeping section)
.
Permanent Air Vent
In order for this stove to operate safely and efficiently it requires an adequate supply of air. This
stove is rated at over 5kW, therefore a permanently open air vent is required. Please refer to
Document J, 2.3 - Table 1 for more information

On Delivery Of The Stove
Please ensure that the vermiculite bricks, throat plate and baffle plate have not moved in transit
(see page 18)
and that the glass window is intact. Also check that you have all the required parts
(see back page)
before installation.
After Installation
Upon completion of the installation you should allow time for the fire cement and mortar to dry out
and set properly. Once dry you may begin preparing the fire for its first fire. Ensure that the throat
plate, baffle plate and front grill are in place and that the door and vents close properly before
lighting.
When you’re ready to start the fire, follow the instructions detailed in the Lighting section relevant
to your type of fuel. Once alight, check that the fumes and smoke are being drawn up through the
chimney correctly and that all joints and seals are not emitting fumes.
Your installer should advise on the operation and maintenance of your stove and chimney and
retain this manual for future reference.
