Installation Instructions
Introduction
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION.
CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS OF INSTALLATION WILL ENABLE YOU TO GET
THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR FIRE.
NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
There are three essential requirements for a successful installation.
A. The fire must be correctly fitted into the recess and surround.
B. The chimney must be of correct dimensions, be suitable for use with open fires and be
terminated clear of any possible wind effects.
C. There must be an adequate air supply of air into the room.
Dimensions
The table of installation data on pages 1 & 2 contains all the dimensional information necessary
to allow the installation to be properly planned.
Regulations
In the United Kingdom the installation must be in accordance with:-
• The Building Regulations issued by the Department of the Environment or the Building
Standards (Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations issued by the Scottish Development
Department.
•
All relevant codes of practice and relevant parts of any local regulations, including those
referring to National and European standards.
In your own interest and for safety, in the United Kingdom, it is the law that all solid fuel
appliances are installed by competent persons. The Heating Equipment Testing and Approval
Scheme (HETAS) require its members to work to recognised standards.
In other countries the installation must also conform to the national and local regulations in
force. This may include only the use of permitted fuels in some countries.
Important Points to Note Before Starting Installation
Flue Outlets
Flow from the outlets must be totally free from any obstruction.
Convection Inlet
This must never be restricted. The fire can be fitted on a small plinth for aesthetic reasons also
this will help prevent the ingestion of any ash from the hearth into the air inlet.
Smoke Gathering
The smoke from the two outlets must be gathered in as smooth a manner as is possible into the
flue, which is to serve the fire. Steps caused by lintels etc. that can cause eddies in the smokeway,
should be chamfered away, or, if space allows, filleted over to form smooth profiles.
