INTRODUCTION 

 
SAFETY 
 

Safety is the most important consideration when using and installing your stove. If not installed and used correctly, a 
house fire could result. Installation must comply with relevant national and local Building Regulations and fire safety 
standards. 
 
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE, EVACUATE THE PROPERTY AND CALL THE EMERGENCY 
SERVICES. 
 
Your stove will be heavy and care needs to be taken when lifting - 2 people will normally be required to lift. 

 
UNPACKING 
 

Your stove will have several of its components stored inside the stove itself for transportation.  
Take the legs out and attach them one at a time to the underside of the stove – it may help to sit the stove on some 
sturdy blocks of wood or bricks whilst you do this. Do NOT use a wrench to tighten any bolts, they should be hand-
tight only – cast iron is relatively brittle and can crack if over-tightened. 
Do NOT drag the stove on its legs – it must be carefully lifted into place. 
 
The flue spigot can also be bolted to the flue outlet – the stove has two options for flue outlet – one on the top and 
one at the rear. -  Most people use the top outlet – in this case, remove the blanking plate at the top and secure to the 
rear outlet instead, but depending on where you intend to position the stove in relation to your chimney, you may 
wish to use the rear outlet. 
 
Inside the stove will also be an ash-pan which sits underneath the grate, and will require regular emptying. You will 
also find a detachable tool for removal of the ash-pan. 
You will also find a glove which must be used when opening the door or when adjusting air vents when the fire is 
hot. 
 

INSTALLATION 
 

Installation of your stove must comply with relevant local and national Building Regulations and fire safety 
standards.

The stove must not be installed within the specified minimum distances to combustible materials: A gap of at least 
375mm needs to left between the stove and any combustible materials at the sides and 400mm 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.
