Installation Instructions

These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure satisfactory installation of the stove,
although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all
cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority
Byelaws, European and national standards 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 6461 and BS 7566 as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent
level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved Document
J.

Health And Safety Precautions

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 personal
injury.

Important Warning

This stove must
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.

be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.

not

Installation

Chimney

The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to Building
Regulations.

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 230mm. 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.

If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with
Building Regulations Approved Document J, or a twin-walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS
4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and Building Regulations.

Flue Draught

A flue draught of minimum 1.2mm to a maximum 2.5mm water gauge is required for
satisfactory appliance performance. The flue draught should be checked under fire at high
output. If it exceeds the recommended maximum, a draught stabiliser must be fitted so that the
rate of burning can be controlled and to prevent over firing. If the reading is less than the
recommended minimum than the performance of the appliance will be compromised.

Connection to the Chimney

An existing fireplace opening can be bricked up or sealed with a register plate. A short length of
flue pipe of a minimum 152mm internal diameter may then be used to connect the stove to the
chimney. This flue pipe should be of 316 grade stainless steel or vitreous enamelled, nominal
thickness 1.2mm. Ensure that the pipe end is no closer than 76mm to the side or rear chimney
walls.

Ideally, the old fireplace should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamlined entry into the
flue way.
The length of any horizontal run of flue pipe must not exceed 152mm.
It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney-flue are sealed and made
airtight.
Both the chimney and flue pipe must be accessible for cleaning and if ANY parts of the chimney
cannot be reached through the stove (with baffle brick removed), a soot door must be fitted in a
suitable position to enable this to be done.

Air Supply

The room or space containing this appliance needs a permanent, unobstructed air opening of at
least 4950 mm2.
If a draught stabiliser is fitted, the air opening should be at least 9150 mm2. Due consideration
should be given to air requirements for any other appliances in the same room or space.
