Installation Instructions
WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION!
These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight
modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current local regulations
including Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations including Ireland, UK or
EU standards referred to as they affect the installation of the stove. Approved Document J is particularly important for
England and Wales and can be downloaded for no cost at:
http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/professionals/en/4000000000503.html
Also of importance are Approved
documents L1 A and B conservation of fuel and power. The Domestic Heating Compliance Guide will also be found useful.
Important Chimney Warning
This stove must not
be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
Extractor Fan Warning
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit
fumes into the room.
Cleaning and Chimney Sweeping
The appliance, flue & chimney must be cleaned and checked internally and externally regularly in use
and especially after a period on disuse (e.g. after summer).
Lift down the baffle at least weekly to check
for build up of soot or debris on the top from the flue pipe. Remove the baffle and check the flue spigot and
connector is fully clear at regular intervals. The chimney and flue connector must be swept at least annually,
more often when used with sooty fuels or damp wood. Any loose, broken or leaking joints or flue ways
MUST be repaired immediately.
Fuels
Only use recommended fuels. The appliance can be damaged by burning petroleum coke, liquid fuels or
general rubbish and this will invalidate your warranty and risk your personal safety.
The appliance must
not be used as a rubbish incinerator
.
Maintenance
Annual checking and servicing of the appliance and flue by a competent engineer is recommended.
