General Guidance
It is important that your stove is correctly
installed as Parkray Stoves cannot accept
responsibility for any fault arising through
incorrect use or installation.
These instructions cover the basic principles to
ensure satisfactory installation of the stove,
although detail may need slight modification to
suit particular local site conditions.
The installation must comply with current
Building Regulations, national and European
standards, Local Authority byelaws and other
specifications or regulations as they affect the
installation of the stove.
The Building Regulations requirements may also
be
met
by
adopting
the
relevant
recommendations in the current issues of
British Standards BS 8303 and BS EN 15287-1.
Competent Persons Scheme
Parkray Stoves recommend that this stove is
installed by a member of an accredited
competent persons scheme e.g. HETAS.
If the installer is not a member of a competent
persons scheme, it is a legal requirement to
notify your local building control body in
advance of any work starting.
CO Alarms
Building regulations require that whenever a
new or replacement fixed solid fuel or
wood/biomass appliance is installed in a
dwelling, a carbon monoxide alarm must be
fitted in the same room as the appliance.
Further guidance on the installation of the
carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN
50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a
substitute for either installing the appliance
correctly or ensuring regular servicing and
maintenance of the appliance and chimney
system.
Health and Safety Precautions
Special care must be taken when installing the
stove such that the requirements of the Health
and Safety at Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for
loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and
should not be allowed to come into contact
with the skin. In case of contact, wash
immediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a
possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the
course of installation then please seek specialist
guidance and use appropriate protective
equipment.
