than 200mm.
A draught is necessary to ensure the products of combustion are fully evacuated.
Connect and seal the stove flue collar to the chimney using full depth of collar. The
flue must have a minimum effective height of 3 metres (10ft), however, to ensure
optimum performance we recommend 3.66 metres (12ft) or higher. The flue must be
free of obstruction and any dampers must be fixed in a permanently open position.
Ensure that the chimney is not closed and that it has been swept prior to the stove
being installed. Make sure that rain, birds or any foreign bodies cannot get into the
chimney and cause blockage or damage. This problem can normally be overcome by
fitting an approved gas cowl. It is essential to the effective running of your stove that
the chimney draws properly and allows the products of combustion to escape.
3.5 Ventilation.
-
Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS5871 Part 1
and in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 “ Domestic gas
installations” which make clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available.
-
An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on
in this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
3.6 Location.
This appliance must not be installed in a private garage or any room, which contains
a bath, or shower or where steam is regularly present.
3.7 Propane gas (944 Manual Only). -
Propane gas appliances must not be installed
in a cellar, basement or other room which is built entirely below ground level (See
Gas Safety (Installation and use) Regulations)
Gas connection.
-
A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the elbow at the
bottom front of the appliance. The elbow can be rotated to allow a connection from
any direction. The elbow includes a valve for isolating the gas supply.
-
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
-
Note: Prior to connecting the gas supply it is advisable to blow out the gas
supply so that any dirt which may be present in the pipe is cleared and cannot
enter the gas valve or pilot burner and so cause a blockage
-
With the supply connected pressure check the installation pipework for gas
soundness. In the United Kingdom check in accordance with the current edition of
BS6891. In the Republic of Ireland check in accordance with the rules in force.
Securing the stove.
The stove is supplied with two wood screws and wall plugs. Secure the stove in place
through the holes in the rear feet.
