HEARTH
The fireplace and hearth should conform to at least the min imu m require ments la id out in the Building Regulations
Approved Document J. The hearth should be able to accommodate the weig ht of the stove and its chimney if the
chimney is not independently supported
Stoves must stand on a non-combustible hearth that must extend at least 300mm in front and 150mm to either side and
rear if the flue outlet is fro m the top.
DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES
No Co mbustible materials should be used in the construction of a fireplace or within the chimney or used in the
installation of a stove, flue or chimney.
Care should also be taken in the construction of hearths or firep laces to ensure that suitable provision is taken to allow
for e xpansion and contraction of the construction materials.
When installing a Bohe mia in a fireplace recess sufficient space must be provided on either side, behind and above to
allo w fo r heat convection and for access for ma intenance of stove, flue p ipe and chimney.
Reco mmended min imu m clearance fro m sides to solid masonry 50mm
Reco mmended min imu m clearance fro m rear to solid masonry 25mm
Reco mmended min imu m clearance fro m top to solid masonry 150mm
CLEARANCES FROM COMB US TIB LES
when installing in a freestanding situation
Reco mmended min imu m clearance fro m sides to combustible material 500mm
Reco mmended min imu m clearance fro m rear to combustible materia l 450mm
Reco mmended min imu m clearance fro m front to combustible materia l 800 mm
It is deemed safe to install a Bohemia stove on a combustible floor provided it is covered by a non -combustible
hearthplate of at least 12mm thickness and extends at least 300mm in front and 150mm to either side and rear if the flue
outlet is fro m the top.
Note un-insulated flue pipe must be installed to local building regulations (we reco mmend that not more than a 1 metre
length of plain un-insulated pipe is used before connection to a chimney system and that no combustible materia ls are
within 500mm o f the flue pipe).
Note if the stove is to be installed in front of combustible materia ls nearer than 500mm a heat shield must be fitted (not
supplied).
BOHEMIA, baffle plate
On installat ion check that the steel flue baffle is correctly located. The baffle sh ould sit on the rear firebricks and rest on
the two lugs on the sides of the stove; the baffle is designed to direct the flame path towards the front of the stove.
Re moval o f the steel baffle allows immed iate access into the flue system for sweeping.
CHIM NEY IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
The chimney must be a minimu m height of 4.5 metres overall height and be in accordance with Building Regulations
Approved Document J.
Any chimney, either masonry or a prefabricated stainless steel system must be constructed and installed according to
building regulat ions. It is reco mmended that the minimu m dia mete r of the flue liner be 125mm.
For new masonry chimneys we recommend pumice ce ment lin ers. A chimney draught of at least .06” (1.5mm) is
recommended.
If it is found that there is e xcessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser should be fitted.
