INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
•
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
However occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, open doors
and windows to ventilate the room. Let the fire burn out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the
appliance. Once the fire is cold, check the flue and chimney for blockages and clean if required.
Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. Seek expert advice if necessary.
•
Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.
•
An adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation is essential in accordance with Building
Regulations Document J Section 2. Air openings provided for this purpose must not be restricted.
•
It is important that flue ways are cleaned frequently and the chimney swept regularly. Also the
stove must be maintained in good mechanical order. The chimney should be swept at least
once per year for smokeless fuel and a minimum of twice per year for other fuels.
•
If the chimney was previously used for an open fire, it is possible that the higher flue gas temperatures
generated by the stove may loosen deposits that were firmly adhering to the inner surface of the
chimney and cause blockage of the flue pipe. We recommend that in such a situation a second
sweeping of the chimney should be carried out within one month of regular use of the stove
after installation. Also, lock open or remove any existing dampers in the flueway.
•
Should it be likely that children, aged or infirm people approach the fire, then a fireguard
should be fitted.
•
Avoid the use of aerosol sprays in the vicinity of the stove when it is in operation.
The installer has a responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to provide for the safety
of persons carrying out the installation. Attention is drawn to the fact that fire cement is caustic and
hands must be washed thoroughly after use. The appliance is heavy and care must be taken during
handling. Although the appliance does not contain asbestos products, it is possible that asbestos may
be disturbed in existing installations and every precaution must be taken.
These instructions give a guide for the installation of the appliance but in no way absolves the installer
from responsibilities to conform to British Standards, in particular BS8303

relating to the installation of solid fuel appliances. The installation should also comply with local
Building Regulations and Local Authority By-laws.
The stove must be placed at least 40cm away from any combustible materials. If necessary, any
adjoining walls should be protected from the effects of heat.

GENERAL SAFETY NOTES

The successful operation of the CANNONBURY COMPACT relies on the adequate performance of the
chimney to which it is connected. The chimney must:
•
Have an internal cross section of no less than 320 cm
2
(200mm dia). If a flue liner is used it should
be 125mm (5") diameter and suitable for solid fuel.
•
Be a minimum 4.6m high from hearth level to pot.
•
Be terminated at least 1m above roof level so that the chimney does not terminate in a pressure
zone (see Fig. 2).
•
Be free from cracks, severe bends, voids and obstructions.
•
Be connected to this one appliance only.
•
New chimneys must be built in accordance with local building regulations.
•
If the stove is installed as a free standing appliance, it should not support any part of the chimney.
•
Voids in the chimney should be avoided, as these will prevent a steady flue draught.
•
The stove flue pipe should pass beyond the narrowing of the chimney (See Fig. 1).
•
Consideration should be given to falling soot. For rear outlet stoves it may be necessary to provide
a soot catchment area in the flue pipe so that soot does not settle in the path of the flue
gases. The optional rear flue box attachment available from ACQUISITIONS has a detachable
base that allows for fallen soot to be removed (See Fig. 1).
•
A flue/chimney access point may also be required so that the state of the chimney can be checked
and any fallen soot removed.
•
External flues must be insulated to prevent heat loss.
