Reference: Pevex10004/AH/ver2 Date: June 2011
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit fumes
into the room.
Having decided on the ideal appliance then the installation should be fully assessed. The Bohemia X 40 inset is designed
to function as a built in unit, please note that high thermal build up in the chamber will be experienced it is therefore
essential that the fireplace and recess have been built using suitable materials that will accommodate the operating of
such an appliance.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST NOT BE USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION
. The
chimney requirements should be carefully assessed. Hearth requirements should be carefully specified, remember the
building regulations lay out the minimum requirements. The chances of damaging a floor or carpet will be much reduced
if the depth of a hearth is extended beyond the minimum. Any combustible materials should be at least 500mm distant
from the sides, 300mm from the back, 600mm above and 800mm clear of the front of the door and should never be
allowed to exceed 80 °C. For further advice on chimney and hearth also see details below.
Assess also the fireplace surround if any is to be used, it is essential that combustible materials are not used close to the
stove and flue pipe of a stove. This requirement may vary depending on the construction of a stove but is advised to keep
combustible materials at least 500mm or preferably 1metre away from the stove or flue pipe.
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE STOVE
A pair of leather gloves for operation of door handle and air sliders, flue collar and door handle and catch assembly,
ashpan and ashpan handle.
DOOR HANDLE AND CATCH ASSEMBLY

Bush Door & Bush Catch Washer Screw
HEARTH
The fireplace and hearth should conform to at least the minimum requirements laid out in the Building Regulations
Approved Document J. The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight 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.
DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES
No Combustible 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 fireplaces to ensure that suitable provision is taken to allow for
expansion and contraction of the construction materials.
CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLES
when installing in a freestanding situation
Recommended minimum clearance from sides to combustible material 500mm
Recommended minimum clearance from rear to combustible material 300mm
Recommended minimum clearance from front to combustible material 800mm
NOTES
uninsulated flue pipe must be installed to local building regulations (we recommend that not more than a 1 metre
length of plain uninsulated pipe is used before connection to a chimney system and that no combustible materials
are within 500mm of the flue pipe).
if the stove is to be installed in front of combustible materials nearer than 500mm a heat shield must be fitted
(not supplied).
