JINCHW09 Rev A 12/05/14
If the chimney is believed to have previously
served an open fire installation, it is possible that
the higher flue gas temperature from the stove
may loosen deposits that were previously firmly
adhered, with the consequent risk of flue
blockage. It is therefore recommended that the
chimney is swept a second time within a month of
regular use after installation.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of
your chimney, consult your local dealer/stockist.
Both the chimney and flue pipe must be
accessible for cleaning and if ANY part of the
chimney cannot be reached through the stove
(with baffle removed), a soot door must be fitted
in a suitable position
.

D
RAUGHT
If the draught exceeds the recommended
maximum, a draught stabiliser must be fitted so
that the rate of burning can be controlled and to
prevent over firing.
If the reading is less than the recommended
minimum then the performance of the appliance
will be compromised.
The flue draught should be checked under fire at
high output.
Minimum Draught – 1.2mm Water Gauge
Maximum Draught – 2.5mm Water Gauge

ATERIALS
Excluding some fire surround installations (see
below) there should be no combustible material
within 200mm of either side of the stove or
275mm above.
No combustible furniture should be placed any
closer than 700mm from the front of the stove.

URROUNDS
Please check the suitability of any
fireplace/surround for closed solid fuel appliances
before installation.
Parkray Ltd cannot be held responsible for any
fault arising through incorrect use or installation.
Fire surround back panels suitable for solid fuel
are usually in three sections and slabbed. Many
fire surrounds are suitable only for use with gas
and electric fires and therefore not suitable for
solid fuel.
