Special care must be taken when installing a stove such that the requirements of the Health & Safety at Work Act are met.

PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS
IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other hea�ng appliance. There must not be an extractor
fan fi�ed in the same room as the stove because this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the coarse of installa�on then please
seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protec�ve equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
CO Alarms:-
Building regula�ons require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in
a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fi�ed in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the
installa�on of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instruc�ons.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a subs�tute for either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring
regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
Stove paint Aerosols
Paint aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Be sure to allow aerosols spray paints
to dry and ven�late the room well before ligh�ng the stove. The use of any aerosol around lit stove is dangerous and
care must be take in handling aerosols.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of Building Regula�ons
Approved Document J. If installa�on is into an exis�ng chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which
might allow fumes into the house. Older proper�es, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross sec�on may be too large .
Mendip Stoves recommend the use of a solid fuel flue lining system for all installa�on into exis�ng chimneys. All chimney
systems must be used in accordance with Building Regula�ons Approved Document J.
If an exis�ng chimney is used the chimney must be clear of obstruc�on and be swept clean immediately before installa�on of
the stove. The chimney should be tested to confirm the chimney will provide the correct chimney pressure for the stove. If the
stove is fi�ed in place of an open fire the chimney should be swept one month a�er installa�on to clear any soot falls which
may have occurred due to the difference in combus�on between the stove and the open fire. If there is no exis�ng chimney then
either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regula�ons Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated
stainless steel flue to BS 1856-1 . These chimneys must be fi�ed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc�ons and Building
Regula�ons. A single wall metal flue pipe is suitable for connec�ng the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for using for the
complete chimney. The connec�ng flue pipe must have a minimum diameter of 125 mm and its dimension should be not less
than the size of the outlet socket of the stove. Registered smoke exempt models burning wood only can be installed on flue of
125mm throughout. Any bend in the chimney or connec�ng flue pipe should not exceed 45
�
. 90 degree bends should not be
used other than within 150 mm of stove rear flue outlet.
