Fasten the flue outlet and blanking plate to the top or back flue outlet opening, on a thin bead of
fire cement. Do not over tighten. Place the stove on a noncombustible
hearth conforming to building regulations, noting the distances to
combustible materials given in the table on the front of this document.
Fix the stove securely to the earth by drilling through the fixing holes
inside the stove, into the hearth, with a 6mm masonry drill. Screw down
with the bolts and washers provided. If you chose to secure the stove
using an alternative method you should seal the two holes in the base of
the stove to prevent air being drawn in when the bottom valve is closed.
Your stove can be sealed to the chimney using a short (up to about
500mm) length of uninsulated pipe in several ways, four of which are shown below.
Whichever method is used it is imperative that:
1)
The route for gases from the stove to the chimney terminal is completely air-tight; even the
tiniest gap or crack can spoil the updraught. Seal all joins with fireproof cement and/or
heatproof rope.
2)
It is possible to sweep the entire length – access doors may be required.
3)
The entire construction is of durable fireproof materials.
Check the Installation
Once installed, light the fire, demonstrate it to the householder and check that:
1)
It burns controllably and does not emit fumes to the room.
2)
The route for gases from the stove to the chimney terminal is completely airtight, unobstructed
and able to be swept.
3)
The entire construction is of durable fireproof materials.
4)
The flue presents a draught in use of at least 12Pa and not in excess of 25 Pa.
