INSTALLING THE STOVE
INSTALLING THE AIR INLET CONNECTION
Ventilated air may be supplied directly from the outside via a 3”/Ø80.0mm heat
resistant pipe connected to the rear of the stove. This air inlet may be positioned
downwards or backwards (see Fig. 5). To re-position the air inlet, undo four screws, as
shown on Fig. 5, re-position the air inlet bracket and replace screws.
If rearrangement of the air inlet connection is needed it must be made
before the stove is positioned in the fireplace.
POSITIONING
The overall dimensions of the stove are shown in Fig. 3 along with a table that indicates
recommended distances between the stove and surrounding combustible materials. As
a rule, any surrounding combustible material should not exceed 80°C. There should be
sufficient space around the stove for service work.
HEARTH
The construction of the hearth must conform to Building Regulations, must be firm, non-
combustible and capable of supporting the stove. (Refer to Building Regulations
Document J). The stove has been independently certified as suitable to stand on a
12mm (½”) thick non-combustible hearth.
FLUE CONNECTION
The flue pipe used to connect the stove to the chimney is 125mm (5") in diameter. The
stove is supplied ready for top flue connection. To change to a rear connection, a cast
rear flue collar kit or a rear flue box kit is available from www.esse.com. The flue
blanking plug supplied with the kits is used to block the top flue outlet. The blanking
plate in the rear of the stove must then be removed (to access the bolts attaching the
blanking plate, the convector panel must first be removed) - see Fig. 6. The rear flue box
attachment allows the stove to be installed further out of any building recess. Fig. 1
shows suitable flue connections.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
1.
The installation must allow for adequate chimney sweeping.
2.
Avoid using bends greater than 45° to the vertical. All flue pipe sections should be
as close to vertical as possible.
3.
All joints in the flue system must be effectively sealed.
4.
All flue sockets must face upwards.
5.
Check the appliance for soundness of seals between castings and main components
and that all supplied parts and fittings are correctly fitted.
On completing the installation, check that all the internal components of the stove are
positioned correctly.
Check - Ashpan, iron grate, baffle, side and back bricks.
