Health and safety precautions
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health
and Safety at Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with
the skin. In case of contact wash immediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course
of installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of per-
sonal injury.
Note of references to the current UK regulations
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority
Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the
relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007 as an
alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following
the guidance given in Approved Document J.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that
the installation of the stove is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control ap-
proval or is installed by a Competent Person registered with a Government approved Com-
petent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their Registered
Competent Persons can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
More detailed advice about existing chimney usage
NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of
the stove to the top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation proce-
dure given in EN 13384-1 may be used as the basis for deciding whether a particular chimney
design will provide sufficient draught.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with
the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other
faults which might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chim-
ney faults or the cross section may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial
action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice, if necessary. If it is found neces
sary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in accordance
with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
