Installation distance in case of combustible wall
To find out whether the wall next to where the stove is going to be installed is flam-
mable, you should contact your building contractor or the local building authorities.
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove. The chimney must
be independently supported by wall brackets or a ceiling support plate. The weight of
the stove is indicated in the brochure.
The stove should always be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and con-
struction that is in accordance with the provisions of the current UK Building Regula-
tions Approved Document J.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a noncombus-
tible material at least 12mm thick, in accordance with UK Building Regulations Ap-
proved Document J, to a distance of 300 mm in front of the stove and 150 mm to each
side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the
hearth and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the sepa-
ration of combustible material given in UK Building Regulations Approved Document J
and also in these stove instructions.
For the Installer
Finally before firing the stove for the first time a check should be made to ensure that
the assembly and stove installation has been satisfactory and that there are no leaks in
any seals in the appliance and appliance connections to the chimney.
Ensure that the appliance and chimney flue are functioning correctly before finally
handing over to the user. If necessary read the later parts of this manual for guidance
on care required when first lighting.
Inform the user that the appliance has been commissioned and ready to use and give
instruction on the safe operation of the stove.
These Instructions must be left with the user and the user should be instructed to keep
them in a safe place.
Operating instructions
Please note that HETAS Ltd Appliance Approval only covers the use of dry
seasoned wood logs on this appliance. HETAS Ltd Approval does not cover the
