Press a sufficient amount of fire cement around the base under the stove and the bottom of the
fireplace opening, ensuring that all joints and connections are well sealed. Then seal up where
the throat area meets the flue outlet of the stove. This will prevent fumes coming out of the stove
and going back down behind it.
Commissioning and Handover
Upon completion of the installation, allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and
mortar to dry out. A small fire may then be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are
taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere. Do not run the stove at
full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning, ensure that the operating instructions and
operating tools for the stove are left with the customer. Be sure to advise the customer on the
correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to use
only the recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user on what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove.
The user should be warned to use a fireguard to BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or
infirm persons.
