It is important that your stove is correctly installed and operated as Stove Industry Supplies cannot accept responsibility for any
fault arising through incorrect installation, use, maintenance or servicing.
These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight
modification to suit particular local site conditions.

by high temperatures on, or near, this appliance. Do not place furniture or other items within 1 metre of the front of this appliance.

Chimney Warning

If unavoidable the appliance must be checked with A.D. 1.21 and necessary action taken.
Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is ESSENTIAL for the safe and efficient operation of any solid fuel or wood burning appliance. Ventilation
MUST be provided where required by the stove output or flue under-performance. Keep all ventilation clear and free of blockage.
Competent Person Scheme
Stove Industry Supplies recommend that this stove is installed by a member of an accredited competent persons scheme. HETAS

Cleaning and Chimney Sweeping
It’s important to have your chimney swept at least twice a year when burning wood and at least once a year when burning
smokeless fuels. The best times to have your chimney swept are just before the start of the heating season and after your stove
has not been used over a prolonged period. If sweeping twice a year, the second time should be after the peak of the main heating
season. Always use a registered member of an accredited association:
