The stove must not be installed within the specified minimum distances to combustible materials: A gap of at least
800mm needs to left between the stove and any combustible materials at the sides and 820mm to the rear. Adjacent
walls should be of non-combustible materials and construction, preferably masonry or brickwork.
Your stove will require a constant air supply, and should not be used at the same time and in the same room/space
as extractor fans or any device which may draw air supply away from the stove.
The stove should be installed on a level floor with adequate load bearing capacity.
The stove needs to stand on a hearth of non-combustible materials not less than 12mm thick conforming to
Building Regulations.
NOT suitable for installation in a shared flue system.
If installed in a standard type chimney, a register plate needs to be fitted inside the chimney.
When purchasing flue pipe, 5” diameter is required. The flue pipe must be fitted INSIDE the flue spigot, and sealed
with a generous amount of Fire Cement.
Access should be provided for cleaning the flue gas connector and chimney flue to ensure that the passageways for
exhaust gases remain free from obstruction. Ideally the first section of flue should have an access door.
We recommend that you have a qualified fitter install your stove. The British recognised standard for solid fuel
installations is HETAS. You can find a HETAS qualified installer in your area by going to the HETAS website –
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a
smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed
boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use
within a smoke control area unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which
generally apply in the smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise smokeless
fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with
Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland)
Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke
control areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas
