Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney
and connecting fluepipe, also to permit visual checks on the integrity of the flue when the appliance is
serviced. Ensure that all access doors in the flue can be adequately sealed after service.
Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not
independently supported. The weight of the stove is indicated in the brochure.
The stove should always be installed on a non-combustible hearth or base of a size and construction that is
in accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls
adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in
Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor surface, it must be covered with a
non-combustible material at least 12mm thick and extending in front and to the sides of the
stove as shown in the detailed instructions, and in accordance with Building Regulations
Approved Document J.
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 and well sealed. 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 have a total free area at least equal to the size given in the
Technical Data section in the instructions and 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 a fireplace recess, specialist
advice should be sought before fitting any permanent ventilation within this area.
For inset stoves built into a fireplace or enclosure, convection air vents must be fitted at high and low level to
ventilate the chamber with minimum free area as stated in the Technical Data section.
Connection to chimney
Stoves have a rear flue connector that allows connection to either a masonry chimney or a prefabricated
factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with the instructions. In some cases it will be
necessary to fit an adaptor to increase the diameter of the flue to the 150 mm section of the chimney or
liner. Ensure that there is access to sweep the flue completely including the internal parts of the stove.
Electrical Services
The installation of any electrical services during the installation of this appliance must be 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 from the appliance.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction booklet.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any sealants and cement to dry out. On
Thermo boiler stoves ensure that the system and stove has been fully vented and that system controls are
operating before lighting. When lit check to ensure that all smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the
chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere. Follow the detailed instructions in the relevant section.
