This appliance must be installed as per these instructions. No modifications or alterations of any
kind are permitted and will invalidate the warranty. All relevant regulations must be complied with
and installation should be in accordance with the latest version of Building Regulations Document
J in England and Wales, Document L in Northern Ireland and Part F of the Building Regulations in
Scotland.
•
With correct installation, operation and maintenance this appliance will not emit fumes into the
dwelling. However, occasional fumes may be emitted when refuelling or removing ash.
•
An adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation is required. If the stove you have purchased
exceeds 5.0kW nominal heat output, a purpose provided air vent is always required.
•
If your stove has a lower nominal heat output than 5.0kW, a purpose provided air vent is not usually
required. However, one may need to be fitted in small or tightly sealed rooms. Air openings provided
for this purpose must not be restricted. See Building Regulations Document J (Document L in Northern
Ireland) for further information and seek expert advice if in any doubt.
•
Always ensure your stove is maintained and kept in good mechanical order. This will ensure safety
and maximise efficiency.
•
Flueways must be cleaned frequently and chimneys must be swept regularly. The chimney should be
swept at least once a year for smokeless fuel. If using other fuels, this should be carried out twice per
year. Please contact your local, HETAS
†
registered chimney sweep for advice.
WARNING:
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. If a chimney fire
does occur, turn off the stove immediately and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause
the chimney fire to go out.
If it does not go out as a result of the above action, the fire brigade should be called immediately.
Do not relight the stove until the chimney and flueways have been cleaned and examined by a
professional.
