INSTALLATION

REGULATIONS

You must ensure that your stove is
installed by a recognised competent
person who is appropriately qualiﬁed
in the installation of stoves and that
the installation complies with all local,
national and European building
regulations.

In the UK we strongly recommend using
a Hetas registered installer (

www.hetas.

co.uk

) and in Ireland a registered

installer from INFO – the Irish
Nationwide Fireplace Organisation
(

www.ﬁreplace.ie

). Your authorised

Hi-Flame dealer will also be able
to help and advise you.
