WARM AIR DUCTING SYSTEM
This appliance can be fitted to a Warm Air Ducting
System that will allow to distribute warm air to ele-
vated positions within the room or other parts of the
building.
All duct runs must always rise from the appliance
and be as straight as possible, with the minimum of
bends to ensure a good airflow. All ducts should be
suitably supported along the full length.
If the appliance is installed in a property with a gas
appliance fitted consideration should be given to the
ventilation air requirements of the gas appliance,
and an assessment made by a suitably trained and
appropriately qualified gas engineer.
Ducts must not be connected to areas designated as
a protected stairway as defined by the Local Building
Regulations.
Where ducts pass through walls or ceilings they
must be adequately supported and the space
around them filled with suitable non-combustible
filler.
It is recommended to fit a CO alarm in the area
where the ducts exit in addition to the one required
to be placed in the room with the appliance.
POSITIONING OF THE WARM AIR DUCT
The following must be adhered to when locating the
warm air duct system:
*
The air duct must not touch any combustible
materials within 550mm of the back of the
appliance.
*
Take care when routing the duct to ensure it
is not deformed and restricting the airflow.
*
Due to the possible high temperature of the
ducts, combustible material must be placed
no closer than 100mm to the surface. The
duct exits and grills must only be placed in a
non-combustible wall panel.
*
Protect or place the exit ducts at a high level,
as the grill surfaces can become very hot
when in use.
*
Use a suitable guard if the exit is at low level
to prevent touching or obstruction.
*
Do not place combustible items near the
operating duct exit.
FITTING THE WARM AIR DUCTS TO STOVE
1.
Remove the cover plates on the top of the
firebox.
2.
Fit the warm air duct spigots to the top of the
firebox using self tapping screws (see Fig
11).
3.
Position the vents as advised in the previous
section.
4.
Fit the flexible pipe to the spigots & vents and
secure with the clamp bands.
