INSTALLATION
Ensure all parts are tted in accordance with the instructions. On completion of the
installation allow a suitable period of time for any re cement and mortar to dry out,
before lighting the stove. Once the installation is complete, the installer must advise
the householder on the correct use of the stove and warn them to use only the
recommended fuels listed in this document. The installer must also advise the householder
on the actions to be taken should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove.
This stove must not share a chimney with any other appliance.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open re installation it
is possible that the higher ue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen
deposits that were previously rmly adhered, with the consequent risk of ue blockage. It
is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of
regular use after installation.
Check the chimney is in good condition, dry, free from cracks, leaks and obstructions. The
diameter of the ue 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.
A 125mm ue liner may be used in accordance with the Building Regulations. The
chimney and connecting ue pipe should not narrow to less than the size of the outlet
socket (collar) of the stove at any point. It is essential that only recommended fuels are
used - see page 13 for more information.
The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal must conform to
Building Regulations and the latest edition of BS EN 15287-1, Design, Installation and
Commissioning of Chimneys should be followed.
A ue draught of minimum 12 Pascals is required for satisfactory appliance performance.
The ue draught should be checked under re at high output and if it exceeds 25Pa, a
draught stabiliser may be required so that the rate of burning can be controlled, and to
prevent possible over-ring.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local
dealer/stockist. He will also be able to provide advice about the possible need for a
specialist cowl.
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement xed solid fuel or
wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must
be tted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation
of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the
alarm manufacturer’s instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be considered a
substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and
maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
