Your Hothouse Stove comes packed in a cardboard box. Carefully remove any straps and remove all
cardboard and any plastic packaging, open the door and remove all the contents. See Listof
Components section and check contents carefully.

Remove the coal catcher by lifting it up and rotating it until it can be removed through the open door

of the stove

Now lift up the baffle plate and rotate it and remove from the stove, short side first.
The flue collar can now be fitted to the top or back of the stove as desired using the M6 fixings and

washers provided. Thread each nut onto the screw first, then put on the washer and place the screw

through the fixing hole on the stove and finally screw onto the collar.

Fit the blanking plate to the opening that is not to be used in same way as described above for collar.

3 Installation Instructions

WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
It is very important to understand the requirements of the National Building Regulations(England
and Wales – Document J / Scotland - Part F/Document J (Republic of Ireland only) and standards BS
8303, BS EN 15287, along with any local regulations and working practices that may apply. Should
any conflict occur between these instructions and these regulations then the regulations must apply.

Important Chimney Warning

This stove must notbe installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.

Extractor Fan Warning

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit
fumes into the room.

Cleaning and Chimney Sweeping
The appliance, flue & chimney must be cleaned and checked internally and externally regularly in use

and especially after a period on disuse (e.g. after summer). Lift down the baffle at least weekly to check

for build up of soot or debris on the top from the flue pipe. Remove the baffle and check the flue spigot and
connector is fully clear at regular intervals. The chimney and flue connector must be swept at least annually
by a Hetas approved or suitably qualified chimney sweep, more often when used with sooty fuels or damp
wood. Any loose, broken or leaking joints or flue ways MUST be repaired immediately.Where the chimney
is believed to have a served an open fire installation it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a
closed appliance may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of
flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular
use after installation.

Fuels

Only use recommended fuels. The appliance can be damaged by burning petroleum coke, liquid fuels or
general rubbish and this will invalidate your warranty and risk your personal safety. The appliance must

not be used as a rubbish incinerator.

Maintenance

Annual checking and servicing of the appliance and flue by a competent engineer is recommended.

VentilationNo purpose provided ventilation is normally required for stoves rated under 5KW. However for
newer build properties or properties that have been modified so that the design air permeability is less than
5m3/h.m2a permanent ventilator will need to be fitted. Approved document J of the building Regulations
gives more detailed information. For each KW above 5KW, 550 sq mm of fixed ventilation is required – i.e.
a stove rated at 8KW would require 3 x 550 sq mm = 1650 sq mm of fixed ventilation. If more than one
appliance is installed in the same room, the ventilation requirements for each appliance must be added
together.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit
fumes into the room.

Health and Safety Precautions
Works must be carried out with care to meet the requirements of Health and Safety (Health and
Safety at Work Act 1974) and comply with the Health and Safety rules contained therein, and any
new regulations introduced during the lifetime of these instructions.
Handling

Adequate facilities must be available for unloading and site handling. Hothouse Cassette Stoves are very
heavily built so always ask for assistance when lifting and siting the stoves.

Fire Cement

Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case
of skin 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, proper care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal
injury.

4.0 Installation Information

Chimney

The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to Building Regulations.
Minimum chimney height is 4.5m. Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry, free from cracks and
obstructions. The diameter of the flue should not be less than 150mm and not more than 200mm. If any of
these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined by a suitable method. The chimney must be
swept before connection to the stove.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible that the
higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with
the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time
within a month of regular use after installation.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer/stockist or chimney
specialist. If there is no existing chimney then either a solid fuel compatible prefabricated block chimney or
a twin-walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 1856-1 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in
accordance with the manufacturer‟s instructions and also please refer to the current issues of British
Standards BS EN 15287-1:2007 for design, installation and commissioning of chimneys.

Ventilation

No purpose provided ventilation is required for stoves rated under 5KW. For each KW above 5KW, 550 sq
mm of fixed ventilation is required – i.e. a stove rated at 8KW would require 3 x 550 sq mm = 1650 sq mm
of fixed ventilation. If more than one appliance is installed in the same room, the ventilation requirements
for each appliance must be added together.
