items:
•
Rear Heat Shield
– fitted to the stove
•
Ashpan with Handle & Glove

FLUES
Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45
o
with the vertical. Horizontal
flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a
back outlet from the appliance, when the length of
the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm.
In order to minimise flue resistance and to make
sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45
o
bends rather than a 90
o
bend.
CHIMNEY
Do not connect to a chimney serving another
appliance.
The stove is a radiant room heater and must be
connected to a chimney of the proper size and type.
The stove is design
ed to be installed with a 5”
(125mm) flue throughout. The stove is supplied with
a 5” flue spigot. It is best to connect to a chimney of
the same size, as connection to a larger size may
result in a somewhat less draught.
A flue that has proved to be unsatisfactory,
particularly with regard to down draught should not
be used for venting this appliance until it has been
examined and any faults corrected. An existing
masonry chimney should be inspected and if
necessary repaired by a competent mason or relined
using an approved lining system.
All register plates, restrictor plates, damper etc.,
which could obstruct the flue at a future date should
be removed before connecting this appliance.
The complete installation must be done in
accordance with current Standards and Local
Codes. It should be noted that the requirements
and these publications may be superseded during
the life of this manual.
