Installing the Stove Page 6
• Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
However occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. Persistent fume emissions is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, open doors and windows
to ventilate the room. Let the fire burn out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. Once the
fire is cold, check the flue and chimney for blockages and clean if required. Do not attempt to relight the
fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected. Seek expert advice if
necessary.
• Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.
• An adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation is required. As this stove does not exceed 5.0 kW
nominal heat output (Refer to Building Regulations Document J) a purpose provided air vent is not
normally required. However, in certain circumstances a purpose provided air vent may be necessary – for
example, small or tightly sealed rooms. Air openings provided for this purpose must not be restricted.
• It is important that flue ways are cleaned frequently and the chimney swept regularly. Also the stove must
be maintained in good mechanical order. Regular sweeping means at least once per year for smokeless
fuel and a minimum of twice per year for other fuels.
• If the chimney was previously used for an open fire, it is possible that the higher flue gas temperatures
generated by the stove may loosen deposits that were firmly adhering to the inner surface of the chimney
and cause blockage of the fluepipe. We recommend that in such a situation a second sweeping of the
chimney should be carried out within one month of regular use of the stove after installation. Also, lock
or remove any existing dampers in the flueway.
• Should it be likely that children, aged or infirm people approach the fire, then a fireguard should be fitted.
• Avoid the use of aerosol sprays in the vicinity of the stove when it is in operation.
• This appliance must be installed as per these instructions and regulations complied with. No
modifications or alterations of any kind are permitted.

GENERAL SAFETY NOTES
3
The installer has a responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to provide for the safety of persons
carrying out the installation. Attention is drawn to the fact that fire cement is caustic and hands must be washed
thoroughly after use. The appliance is heavy and care must be taken during handling. Although the appliance does
not contain asbestos products, it is possible that asbestos may be disturbed in existing installations and every
precaution must be taken.
These instructions give a guide for the installation of the appliance but in no way absolves the installer from
responsibilities to confirm to British Standards, in particular BS9303 and BS6461, relating to the installation of solid
fuel appliances. All local regulations, including those referring to National and European standards need to be
complied with when installing the appliance.
This successful operation of these appliances relies on the adequate performance of the chimney to which it is
connected. The chimney must:
• Have an internal cross section of no less than 320cm2 (200mm dia). If a flue liner is used it should be 5’’
diameter (125mm) and suitable for solid fuel.
• Be a minimum 4.6m high from hearth level to pot.
• Be terminated at least 1m above roof level so that the chimney does not terminate in a pressure zone (see
Fig.2).
• Be free from cracks, severe bends, voids and obstructions.
• Be connected to this one appliance only.
• New chimneys must be tested in accordance with HETAS requirements.
• If this stove is installed as a freestanding appliance, it should not support any part of the chimney.
• Voids in the chimney should be avoided, as these will prevent a steady flue draught.
• The stove flue pipe should pass beyond the narrowing of the chimney (see Fig. 1).
• Consideration should be given to falling soot. For rear outlet stoves it may be necessary to provide a soot
catchment area in the flue pipe so that soot does not settle in the path of the flue gases. The optional rear
flue box attachment available from Dimplex has a detachable base that allows for fallen soot to be
removed (See Fig.1).
• A flue/chimney access point may also be required so that the state of the chimney can be checked and any
fallen soot removed.
• External flue must be insulated to prevent heat loss.
