See diagrams above for the recommended
distance from combustible materials.
However, any household furnishings should
be at least 1000mm away as they could be
adversely affected by heat
If the stove is to be installed in a non
combustible recess it is recommended that
100mm clearance is left at the back and sides
for maintenance and to allow air to circulate
around the stove.
Due to the heat of a hot stove, a suitable fire
guard should be used to provide additional
protection.
Never allow young children to be left
unsupervised in a room containing a hot stove.
VENTILATION
Your stove requires ventilation to supply it
with air for combustion.
Ventilation is also required to ensure the
proper operation of flues and chimneys to
ensure that the products of combustion are
safely dispersed to the outside air. Please
ensure the stove has sufficient ventilation for
operation.
Extraction fans lower the pressure in a building
which can cause spillage of combustion

products from an open-flued appliance. This
can occur even if the appliance and the fan
are in different rooms.
If mechanical extraction is unavoidable in
the same room as your stove, then seek
specialist advice to ensure safe operation of
the appliance.
A competent installer should be aware of
specific ventilation parameters.

FLOOR
National and local building regulations must
be complied with when considering the floor
or hearth where the stove is to be installed.
The floor must be capable of bearing the
weight of the stove and the maximum hearth
temperature measured on testing was above
100 deg C on full fire.
THE CHIMNEY
The stove is supplied with a flue pipe
connector for top or rear mounting with the
fixing screws supplied. The stove should
never be connected to a shared chimney/flue
system.
