5 – Installation of the Salamander Range
5.1
Regulations
All national and local regulations, including those referring to national and European
standards need to be complied with when installing the Range.
5.2
Installation
The Range must be installed by a registered installer or approved by your local
building control officer.
5.3
Safety clearances
The Range must be installed with the following minimum safety clearances from
combustible materials:
Without shielding option
Side 450mm, Rear 500mm
With shielding option installed
on sides and rear
Side 250mm, Rear 200mm
If the Range is to be installed in a non-combustible recess, it is recommended that
100mm clearance is left at the back and sides for maintenance and to allow air to
circulate around the Range.
Note that any connecting flue (whether single skin or insulated) used in the
installation should be installed in accordance with the requirements of the applicable
national and local regulations and the applicable safety distances applied to the flue.
(In the UK this is the Building regulations part J)
5.4
Floor
National and local building regulations must be complied with when considering the
floor or hearth where the Range is to be installed. The floor must be capable of
bearing the weight of the Range (90kg).
5.5
Access for cleaning
Although access to the flue can be gained by removing the flue box cover plates on
the Range, consideration must be given to installing extra access in the flue system
to ensure all sections can be cleaned and maintained.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
For your safety it is very important that your Range is correctly
installed.
Salamander Stoves cannot accept any responsibility for any fault
arising through incorrect installation or use.
