Installation Instructions
READ
THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY
BEFORE
INSTALLATION
These
instructions
cover
the
basic
principles
to
ensure
satisfactory
installation
of
the
stove
and
cannot
cover
all
situations
due
to
the
site
of
location
conditions.
In
all
cases
the
installation
must
comply
with
National
and
European
Building
Regulations,
Local
Authority
Byelaws
and
other
specifications
or
regulations
as
they
affect
the
installation
of
the
stove.
Health and Safety Precautions
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for unloading and site handling.
Fire
Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In
case of contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.
Metal
Parts
When installing or servicing the stove, take care to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
Note:
Any white deposits on the stove joints are caused by humidity reacting with the joint sealant. These
deposits may be brushed off and, if necessary, blackened with a proprietary stove polish.
Important
Warning
This stove MUST NOT be installed into a chimney that is shared with any other heating appliance.
No purpose provided ventilation is required for stoves rated under 5kW. For each kW above 5kW, 550
mm
2
of fixed ventilation is required i.e. a stove rated at 8kW would require 3 x 550 mm
2
= 1650 mm
2
of fixed ventilation.
If more than one appliance is installed in the same room, the ventilation requirements for each
appliance must be added together.
There MUST NOT be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove
to emit fumes into the room.
Installation
Chimney
The chimney must be fitted in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and the relevant part of the
Building Regulations. The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to
Building Regulations. Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry, free from cracks and
obstructions. The diameter of the flue should not be less than 125mm and not more than 200mm. If any
of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined by a suitable method. The chimney
must be swept before connection to the stove.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served as an open fire installation, it is possible that
the higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that were previously securely in
place, with the possible risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a
second time within a month of regular use after installation. If you have any doubts about the suitability
of your chimney, consult a local installer.
