Install to manufacture’s specifications.
All new installations require a permit.
For special requirements concerning materials (timber mantle and surrounds) within close proximity of Warmington products, please contact
your local Warmington Technical Consultant or designated Installer.

Finish Hebel enclosure and Hearth to Customers requirements (e.g. paint / tiles ).
Close in Hebel enclose and chimney chase . ( If in timber Alcove ).

Ensure that the Warmington and flue system is swept annually or more frequently if required.
INSTALLATION ORDER OF OPERATIONS Installation is not provided
Location of the Fire. Open fires are better located at one end of a room or area, as they project the heat away from their op ening.
The Topography of the land .
The slope and position of the land in relation to the home has a bearing on how the wind will interact with the fire an d flue system. Care needs to be taken to ensure
that the flue termination is in the correct position to maximise performance.
The Prevailing Wind.
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the flue termination is in the correct position as wind and gusts that hits the flue and cowl system may overcome the cowl and
draft back down the flue into the home. This can be a combination of down draft and high pressure.
Hearth and Plinth:
The Height of the Hearth off the Floor. The Finishing that is to be used on the Hearth is to be allowed for at the desi gn stage.
Note : Ensure Air Intake at Base of Firebox is not blocked or restricted .
Positioning of the Flue System:
There is a maximum distance that an offset flue can be Installed . Reference to relevant standards.
Flue And Fire Clearance:
To be maintained to the Manufactures Instructions &/or Comply with appropriate Standards & Building Codes .
Pressure Differential, Venting & External Air into the Building :
All fires need air to burn and draw correctly, Kitchen Fans, Air Conditioning units, High Wind Zones, Naturally forming Draft spaces, can all have an effect on the
pressure difference from inside the building to the outside. A lower pressure in the building may induce a draft down the flue system and back into the building causing the fire to smoke or spill into the building. Care needs to be taken at the design and installation stage to adequately vent the building, or some mechanical system
to ensure that there is always a neutral or positive pressure at the fireplace and a negative pressure at the flue outlet. Thi s w ill ensur e t hat the draf t i n th e
flue system is always to the outside.
