Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air
supply into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is
particularly necessary if the room is double-glazed or a flue draught stabiliser is
operating in the same room as the appliance. It may be necessary to increase the air
vent size in property with low air permeability ( < 5.0 m
3
/(h.m
2
).
The provision of air supply to the stove must be in accordance with current Building
Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this
purpose.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If applicable and the appliance is being fitted within an existing
fireplace recess, specialist advice should be sought before fitting any permanent
ventilation within this area.
Connection to chimney
Stoves may have a choice of either a rear or top flue gas connector that allows
connection to either a masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal
chimney in accordance with their instructions. In some cases it may be necessary to fit
an adaptor to increase the diameter of the flue to the minimum required 150 mm section
of the chimney or liner.

carried out by a registered competent electrician and in accordance with the
requirements of the latest issue of BS 7671
Carbon Monoxide Alarm
A carbon monoxide alarm complying with BS EN 50292 must be fitted in the same room
as the appliance. It should be positioned on the ceiling at least 300mm from any wall or,
if it is located on a wall, as high up as possible (above any doors and windows) but not
within 150mm of the ceiling. The alarm should also be between 1m and 3m horizontally
