3. Pre-Installation

Products of combustion entering the room can cause serious health risks.

This appliance must be fitted in accordance with building regulations and by an
approved HETAS registered installer.

IMPORTANT: Seek specialist advice if the installation is in a dwelling with a thatched
roof.

The flue or chimney system must be in good condition, meet all regulations and work
correctly.

The flue must be inspected by a competent person and passed for use with the
appliance before installation.

The construction of the chimney and connecting flue pipe system must comply with
building regulations.

It is advised that provisions be made for the removal of the appliance without the need
to dismantle the chimney.

The flue or chimney system must be swept and inspected to ensure that it is structurally
sound and free from obstructions

NOTE - The flue must not be shared with any other appliance.
The flue must have suitable access to enable the collection and removal of debris.
Inspect the flue after the appliance has been installed.
NOTE – The smoke pellet gives a fair idea on the draw before fitting the unit but is

no guarantee that the products of combustion will clear from the fire unit after fitting,
so testing is to be done after the installation of the unit by carrying a spillage test.

Ventilation

In certain conditions room sealed appliances require a permanently open dedicated
air supply. This can be provided by means of an air vent in accordance
with Approved Document J, Section 2 (Table 1).

This appliance must have a permanent air vent opening with a total free area of at
least 1650mm².

The permanent air vent/s should be non-adjustable and positioned where they are
unlikely to become blocked. Carefully consider the placement of the vents to ensure
they are placed in areas that are unlikely to cause discomfort from draughts. This
can be avoided by placing vents near ceilings or close to the appliance.
NOTE – Window vents are not considered to be a permanent air supply.
