PRE-INSTALLATION
Before using the stove for the first time all remaining
stickers must be removed, all accessories must be
removed from the ashpan, check if any items have
become dislodged during transport.
CHIMNEY/FLUES
The stove is a radiant room heater and must be
connected to a proper type chimney/flue for safe
evacuation of products of combustion. The stove is
supplied with a 150mm spigot.
The chimney/flue must have a diameter of 150mm
or equivalent cross sectional area. Never connect to
a smaller size chimney/flue. Do not connect to a
chimney/flue serving another appliance. A minimum
chimney/flue height of 4.5 metres from the flue spig-
ot on the stove to the top of the chimney/flue is
required. The chimney/flue must be constructed of
material capable of withstanding a soot fire in the
chimney/flue which can lead to temperatures of
1000 degrees. The chimney/flue must be construct-
ed with sockets uppermost so that when condensa-
tion occurs within the pipe, it should flow down the
inside of the pipe that it will transfer to the inner of
the next pipe without seeping through the joints.
The chimney/flue should provide a minimum contin-
uous draught of 12 pascals, if the stove is connect-
ed into an existing chimney where the refractory flue
liner is of a diameter in excess of 200mm the chim-
ney should be relined using a flexible flue liner. The
flexi liner is not recommended to be connected
directly to the appliance, there should be a minimum
of 0.6 meters rigid flue pipe between the pipe and
the flexible flue liner. The chimney/flue should be
designed to allow for cleaning of the stove, use
pipes with cleaning doors where necessary.
Avoid the use of 90 degree elbows, use 2 x 45
o
bends instead. Horizontal runs of flue pipe should
be avoided, where it is unavoidable the maximum
permitted horizontal run is 150mm. The
chimney/flue must have the necessary clearance
distance from combustible material. The chimney
termination must be free of any obstructions, see
requirements under Approved Document J, avail-
able to download at www.planningportal.gov.uk
For guidance when installing new chimney systems
or relining existing chimneys please refer to BS EN

REAR FLUE EXIT
For rear flue outlet configuration, remove the flue
spigot from the hob and fix it to the back plate.
Ensure the flue outlet blanking plate is fixed to hob.
Push the flue outlet connector pipe (not supplied)
into the flue spigot and cement into place using
approved fire cement ensuring that no cement
blocks the flue passageway.
DOWN DRAUGHTS
However well designed constructed and positioned,
the satisfactory performance of the flue can be
adversely affected by down draught caused by near-
by hills, adjacent tall buildings or trees. These can
deflect wind to blow directly down the flue or create
a zone of low pressure over the terminal. A suitable
anti-down draught terminal or cowl will usually effec-
tively combat direct down blow but no cowl is likely
to prevent down draught due to a low pressure zone.

TOP FLUE EXIT
Push the flue connector pipe (not supplied) into the
flue spigot and cement into place using approved
fire cement ensuring that no cement blocks the flue
passageway (see Fig.1).
