Stove industry HAMER HD5, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual, Page: 8 / 18

Warn the customer that using excessive air (having the air controls open too wide for too long) can over-fire and irreparably
damage the stove. Damage caused by over firing is NOT covered by any warranty.
On completion of the installation and commissioning, check all parts of the appliance are correctly fitted and ensure that the
operating instructions and operating tools (including gloves) for the stove are left with the customer. You must be sure to advise the
customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the stove
and warn them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user on what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted into the room from the stove
– see Safety Notes section. The user
should be warned that they MUST use a suitable fireguard in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
A flue draught of minimum 1.2mm to a maximum 2.5mm water gauge (12 to 25 Pascals) is required for satisfactory appliance
performance. When this is measured at the draught reading point at the back-right hand side of the stove it equates to 12
Pascal’s
MINIMUM to approximately 25-30 maximum. The flue draught should be checked under fire at high output and, if it exceeds the
recommended maximum, a damper or draught stabiliser must be fitted so that the rate of burning can be controlled to prevent over-
firing.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a
dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the
carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the
alarm manufacturer’s instructions. Provision of an alarm
must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the
appliance and chimney system.
