Milan 4 Passive
The Milan Passive when connected to an outside dedicated air supply
provides all the air for combustion. When the door is closed air is directed into
the stove for combustion. During refuelling when the door is open the air is
directed to the front face of the stove where it is drawn into the furnace
reducing the spillage of CO and CO2 into the room.
Tested in a “tight room” (leakage level) of 1.3m 3 h-1 m-2.(0-57Pa)
With a flue draft of -6 and -12 Pa the spillage was insignificant (up to 2 ppm
CO and up to 100 ppm CO2)
With a flue draft of -12 Pa the spillage was insignificant (up to 1 ppm CO and
up to 100 ppm CO2) when the door is left open for 3 minutes.
This appliance is not air tight.
Air Supply Details:
The air supply is fed into the base of the stove via an 80 mm internal diameter
82 mm external diameter spigot. This provides all the air for combustion, both
primary and secondary. See Milan 4 Passive Figure 1
Maximum length air inlet: 4.1 meters.
Maximum bends: 4 x 90 degree and 2 x 45 degree.
Minimum internal diameter 80 mm.
The pipe must be non combustible and smooth on the inside. IE: Condenser
CD 80 mm.
Due to the variant in site requirement Chesneys do not supply any ducting or
grills.
The external grill must provide at least 5026 mm2 of free air and fixed open.
Due consideration must be given to the location of the air inlet.
1. Due to the pressure, positive or negative created around a building the air
inlet may have to terminate on two different external walls. Where only one air
inlet can be achieved this should be on the positive pressure side of the
building to windward.
2. No blockages can occur by animals or plants.

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.
Ventilation
Please refer to Document J section 2 (table 1)
There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the appliance is
installed to allow the appliance to function properly.
The installation of extract ventilation or other appliance that requires air for
combustion in the same area are not recommended and will effect this
appliance. Refer to page 17 Flue Requirements

16
Chesney’s recommend an appropriate spillage test be conducted with all
appliances post installation.
Air inlet grilles must be so positioned that they are not liable to blockage.
There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the appliance is
installed and make sure apertures provided for this purpose are not restricted
and are free from blockage
Carbon Monoxide
Building Regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid
fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide
alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance is
available in BS EN50292:2002 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.
It is now a requirement for an electronic carbon monoxide detector conforming
to BS EN 50291 to be fitted in the room where the appliance has been
installed. This should be maintained and tested in accordance with the
manufactures instructions.
Hearths
All Chesneys freestanding wood and multi fuel stoves can be fitted on a 12mm
hearth providing there is sufficient load-bearing capacity.
The inset Apollo’s must be fitted on a full constructional hearth.
Chesneys recommend a minimum distance in front of the stove that allows the
door to be opened fully and not overhanging the hearth. This is a Chesneys
recommendations only please refer to Document J Section 2 dia 26 & 27.

17
Flue Requirements
The chimney must be swept before installation and checked for soundness
and suitability. The chimney must also be free from cracks and blockages.
If you find the chimney is in a poor condition then expert advice should be
sought
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept
one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred
due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire.
The chimney and connecting fluepipe must not narrow to less than the size of
the outlet socket of the stove at any point
This appliance must not be used in a shared flue system.
The minimum flue draft is 12 pascals at nominal output.
Minimum flue height 5 meters.
The 150mm diameter flue models may be increased to 170mm diameter.
The 130mm diameter flue should be increased to 150mm. A 130mm flue may
be used when the stove is fitted in the smoke control mode, i.e. Smoke Tab
removed.
It is recommended that there should not be at any time an extractor fan fitted
in the same room as the appliance as this may cause the appliance to emit
fumes into the room. If unavoidable the appliance must be checked with
reference to ADJ 1.21, and necessary action taken.
If appliance is fitted in an area that has another flue (mechanical or otherwise)
a flue interference test must be completed and recorded.
