The installation of this appliance must comply with all current BS 8303 local regulations, including
those referring to national and European Standards before it can be operated. The stove is not suitable
for a shared flue. However, for England and Wales, only, the coming into force on 1st April 2002 of SI
2002 No 440 exempts the householder from this legal requirement for the installation of solid fuel
fired appliance whose rated heat output is 50 kW or less in a building having no more than 3 storeys
(excluding any basement) if a Competent Engineer is employed who is registered under the Registration
Scheme for Companies and Engineers involved in the Installation and Maintenance of Domestic Solid
Fuel Fired Equipment operated by HETAS Ltd. These registered Competent Engineers may also carry
out associated building work necessary to ensure that the installed appliance complies with Building
Regulations without involving the Local Authority Building Control Department.
Improper adjustment, alteration, maintenance or the fitting of replacement parts not recommended by
the manufacturer can cause injury or property damage. Do not operate the stove with faulty seals or
damaged glass.
Due to the high operating temperatures of this appliance it should be located away from pedestrian
traffic and away from furniture and draperies. Do not store paper or wood near the appliance. Any mats
and rugs put in front of the stove should be fire proof and secured to prevent the possibility of tripping.
Advise all persons as to the stove’s high surface temperatures. If it is possible for children or infirm
adults to come into contact with the stove, fit a suitable fire guard.
It is imperative that all air passageways into, out of, and within the appliance are kept clean. All
permanent ventilation into the room provided for the stove must remain clear and unobstructed at all
times. Consideration must be given to the need for extra ventilation if another heating source needing
air is to be operated simultaneously. If an extraction fan is proposed to be fitted to a connecting area
of the house, after the stove has been installed, professional advice should be sought from a qualified
engineer.
The user should be advised that the appliance should be inspected regularly and the chimney cleaned at
least annually.
More frequent cleaning may be required and the advice of a qualified chimney sweep should be sought.
Our range of stoves is capable of operating with outstanding efficiency if the flue system is correct.
Because so little heat is wasted to the flue it is possible that moisture within the products of combustion
will condense if the heat losses within the flue way are too great and allow the flue gases to cool. For
this reason we recommend that the stove is fitted with a suitable flue liner, the same diameter as the
flue spigot, to prevent the possibility of acidic damage to the fabric of the chimney and damage to the
stove which will reduce the longevity of the stove.
When correctly installed, the stove is designed to produce heat, safely. It cannot do so if the
installation is less than absolutely stable, constructed of materials suitable for such an installation
and consideration has not been given to the possibility of people with less than ideal common sense
operating it.
Have the existing chimney swept by a chimney sweep. Although you will be lining the chimney, any
deposits left in the chimney will cause problems and may become a fire hazard.
Your attention is drawn to the precautions and responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Acts,
and whatever new legislation being introduced during the life of this document.
