INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installer has a responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to
provide for the safety of persons carrying out the installation.
Attention is drawn to the fact that fire cement is caustic and hands must be washed
thoroughly after use.
The appliance is heavy and care must be taken during handling.
Although the appliance does not contain asbestos products, it is possible that
asbestos may be disturbed in existing installations and every precaution must be
taken.
All local regulations, including those referring to National and European standards
need to be complied with when installing the appliance.
The Esse 700SE Free-Standing solid fuel appliance conforms to the
requirements of Australian/New Zealand Standard 2918:2001, with
respect to floor, ceiling, side wall and rear wall surface temperatures,
when tested in the two test positions shown in figure 4c & 4d in
accordance with Appendix B of AS/NZS2918;2001.
CHIMNEY& FLUE
The successful operation of this appliance relies on the adequate performance of the
chimney that it is connected to.
This Appliance is not suitable for installations in a shared flue system.
The chimney must:
Have an internal cross section of no less than 320cm² (Ø200mm). If a flue liner is
used it should be 150mm diameter (6") and suitable for solid fuel.
Be a minimum 4.5m high from hearth level to pot.
Be terminated at least 1m above roof level so that the chimney does not terminate
in a pressure zone (see Fig. 2).
Be free from cracks, severe bends, voids and obstructions.
Be connected to this one appliance only.
New chimneys must be tested in accordance with HETAS requirements.
If the stove is installed as a free standing appliance, it should not support any part
of the chimney.
Voids in the chimney should be avoided, as these will prevent a steady flue
draught.
The stove flue pipe should pass beyond the narrowing of the chimney (see Fig. 1).
A flue/chimney access point may also be required so that the state of the chimney
can be checked and any fallen soot removed.
External flues must be insulated to prevent heat loss.
