• The chimney has been swept and
tested prior to installation.
• The proximity of all combustible
materials to the intended stove
installation conforms to the minimum
requirements outlined within this
handbook (page 8) as well as local,
national and European building
regulations, whichever is the greater. A
combustible material is anything which
can burn once it gets hot enough and
includes skirting boards, wooden fire
surrounds, wooden mantles, wallpaper,
fabrics and floor coverings. Remember
these materials could be concealed
behind other materials which on the
surface may appear to be non-
combustible, for example, stud
partitioned walls.
• The fireplace recess or opening is
suitably constructed and conforms to
all applicable building regulations and
can accommodate the stove along with
the safe minimum operating distances
required – see page 25 opposite.
• Any adjacent walls, next to which a
free-standing stove is installed, are of
a suitable thickness and are of non-
combustible material and conform to
all applicable building regulations.
• Any extractor fan inside the room
should be removed or permanently
disabled.
The HF217-SE Baby Gabriel has been
officially rated at a nominal output of
4.6kW. In homes built before 2008
stoves with an output below 5.0kW
do not require a permanently open air
supply within the room. For properties
which have been built or modified so
that their design air permeability is less
than 5m /h.m , (generally post 2008
homes) a permanent ventilator, which
must conform to building regulations,
for the full 4.6kW must be fitted.
Building Regulations Approved Docu-
ment J gives more detailed information.
• The chimney is of sufficient height,
is suitably constructed and is in good
condition and conforms to all applicable
building regulations regarding stove
installation. Please refer the to the
current issues of British Standards
BS
EN 15287-1:2007 Design, installation
and commissioning of chimneys.
The minimum flue height required for
the Baby Gabriel is 4.5 metres (15’)
from the hearth to the top of the
chimney terminal.
