The chimney must be swept before connection to the stove and it is
recommended that it should be swept every twelve months thereafter. If used
regularly, it is recommended that your chimney is swept every six months.
An existing fireplace opening can be modified to accommodate the stove. The
following pages identify some typical installation scenarios and provides the
necessary specific installation information for your new stove. Always consult
your stove supplier for a detailed survey of your particular circumstances.
To make it easier to handle the stove on installation, remove the baffle plates,
bricks and door. Place in a secure place to avoid damage. Refit after
installation.
Upon completion of installation, the appliance should be checked under fire for
soundness of joints and seals, and also that all smoke and fumes are taken from
the appliance, up the chimney and emitted safely by measuring and noting the
flue draught value in Pascals.
Typical Installation for Inglenook Fireplaces – top flue
Inglenook fireplaces can have very
large bore chimneys. Check with
your installer – you are likely to
require a stainless steel flexible liner
for solid fuel if your chimney is
larger than 230mm x 230mm. A
closure plate with access for
cleaning may also be required
together with a short length of flue
pipe of the same diameter as the
stove flue collar.
