Below is a typical schematic showing connection to an open vented system with a thermal
store. Again care and attention should be paid to how, and where, the heat leak radiator,
and fill and expansion tank are connected.
8. Advice on fitting suitable alarms
At least one suitable and effective smoke alarm should be fitted in a suitable location.
Alarms should be mounted on the ceiling at least 300mm from any walls and within 5
meters of the protected area. This may mean installing more than one alarm, and it is
recommended to choose units that can be linked together. The smoke alarm should be
capable of waking any occupants sleeping. The alarm should be tested with this in mind
before the final fixing is made. The smoke alarm should be of the optical or photo
electrical type since this is particularly sensitive to dense smoke such as produced from a
smouldering fire. The smoke alarm should be fitted with an extra-long life battery and have
a hush button to allow for temporary deactivation. This should be tested routinely.
A carbon monoxide alarm certified to BS EN 50291 should also be fitted and, on boats, it
should be suitable for marine use.
9. Operating Instructions
Before starting to use the stove please read these installation and operating instructions
carefully. Please remove any loose items and packaging remnants (except the combustion
chamber lining) from the combustion chamber and the ash pan.
Your installer should show you the function and operation of the stove during the handover
and ensure that you fully understand the controls and how the stove should be used.
