SUPPLEMENTARY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UK MARKET
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLATION
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles to
ensure the satisfactory installation of the boiler, 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 and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the boiler.
If any guidance contained within this manual contradicts advice given in the main manufacturer’s
instruction manual then the most stringent advice must apply.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the
relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007 as an
alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the
guidance given in Approved Document J.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the
installation of the boiler is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or
is installed by a Competent Person registered with a Government approved Competent Persons
Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their Registered Competent Persons
can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.

CO Alarms
Building regulations require that when ever 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 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.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
All joints in the connection between the appliance and the chimney must be made
gas-tight using fire cement and where necessary fire-proof rope infill.
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 boiler 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 boiler care should be taken to avoid the possibility
of personal injury.
BOILER PERFORMANCE
The technical details for the boiler’s performance are given in the main instruction
manual.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Special care must be taken when installing the boiler such that the requirements of
the Health and Safety atWork Act are met.

3. PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS
IMPORTANT WARNING
This boiler must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating
appliance.
If a boiler is to be fitted where there is mechanical extraction in same or adjoining
room as the boiler a safety test must be undertaken in accordance with Building
Regulations Approved Document J, to ensure that the appliance operates safely
whether or not the fans are running.
Chimney
In order for the boiler to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient
to ensure an adequate draught of approximately 15 Pa so as to clear the products of
combustion and prevent smoke problems into the room.
NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the
outlet of the boiler to the top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively
the calculation procedure given in EN 13384-1 may be used as the basis for deciding
whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance
with the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Because the boiler runs at high efficiencies, the temperature of the flue gases is at
times lower than conventional solid fuel appliances. Although it is not classed as a
condensing appliance, the low flue gas temperature results in condensation occurring
within the flue. Any chimney flue system must therefore be able to withstand the
effects of condensate and operate under wet conditions (designation letter W). In
addition it should be soot fire resistant and able to withstand the corrosive effects
of flue products generated by solid fuels (designation G and 3 respectively). If
installation is into an existing masonry chimney then it will require re-lining with
a liner meeting the specification described above. Existing concrete or clay lined
chimneys are not suitable for this boiler and must be lined as described above. All
installations must be in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.

Supplementary Installation Instructions
IN 2025 Edition 2 Supplementary Installation Instructions 6
Front cover seal inspected and tightened
Combustion air fan checked, cleaned, bolt tightness
inspected
Air adjusted for pressure equalisation checked, cleaned
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean
immediately before installation of the lining system. Where the chimney is believed
to have previously 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.
If there is no existing chimney then any new system must be to the designation
described above and in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the boiler to the chimney but
is not suitable for use as the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting fluepipe
must have a minimum diameter of 150 mm and its dimension should be not less than
the size of the outlet socket of the boiler.
Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°, 90° bends
should not be used.
Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the
walls of fireplaces or flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the boiler in the
presence of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the
separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document
J and also in these boiler instructions.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser
should be fitted in the chimney above the flue pipe connection. Fitting of a draught
stabiliser will affect the requirement for the permanent air supply into the room in
which the boiler is fitted in accordance with Approved Document J (see also combustion
air supply).
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for
sweeping the chimney and connecting fluepipe.
A gravity heat-leak radiator or towel rail is not necessary to dissipate heat when the
pump is off.

Edition Supplementary Installation Instructions
Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the boiler fully loaded and
its chimney, if the chimney is not independently supported. The weight of the boiler is
indicated in the brochure.
The appliance should preferably be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and
construction that is in accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations
Approved Document J.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth
and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of
combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in the
boiler instructions.
If the boiler is to be installed on a combustible floor surface, it must be covered with a
non-combustible material at least 12mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations
Approved Document J, to a distance of 30 cm in front of the boiler and 15 cm to each side
measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
Electrical connections
The installation of any electrical services during the installation of this boiler and any
associated heating system controls must be carried out by a registered competent
electrician and in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of BS 7671.
Combustion Air Supply
In order for the appliance to perform efficiently and safely there must be an adequate
air supply into the room in which the boiler is installed to provide combustion air. The
provision of air supply to the boiler must be in accordance with current Building Regulations
Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this purpose.

Connection to chimney
All boilers have a flue gas connector that allows connection to either a masonry chimney
or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with the
instructions. This connection should never be reduced in diameter to lower than that of
the flue gas connector of the boiler. In some cases it may be necessary to fit an adapter in
the connection pipe to increase the diameter to the required minimum diameter of 150
mm for burning wood fuel in accordance with UK regulations. Any connections should be
made gas-tight and sealed with a suitable sealing agent such as fire cement.
Connection to the central heating system
The boilers may be installed on either open vented or sealed fully pumped systems. The
water system must be properly vented and a double-feed indirect cylinder to the current
specification in issue BS 1566 Part 1 for double indirect cylinders is necessary where there
is a combined hot water and central heating system.
The central heating system must be in accordance with BS EN 14336:2004: Heating
Systems in Buildings. Installation and commissioning of water based heating systems. BS
EN 12828: 2003; Heating Systems in Buildings. Design of water based heating systems.
BS EN 12831: 2003; Heating Systems in Buildings. Method for calculation of the design
heat load and BS 6880:1988 Parts 1 to 3, Code of Practice for low temperature hot water
heating systems of output greater than 45kW where appropriate.
Failed Ignition
In the event of the appliance failing to light after the initial ignition light-up process,
please switch off the appliance immediately and contact the manufacturer for guidance.
Please do not attempt to re-light the boiler until the issue has been resolved.

The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the
district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit
smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler
if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire
an “unauthorised fuel” for use within a smoke control area unless it is used
in an “exempt” appliance (“exempted” from the controls which generally
apply in the smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers
under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use
in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests
with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate
legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern
Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use
in smoke control areas have been “authorised” in Regulations and that
appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than “authorised”
fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary
of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found at:
www.smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993
including designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can
contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements

READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOK AND THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE BOILER
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the
dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent
fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does
persist, then the following immediate action should be taken: -
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire go out.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety
these must be kept clean at all times.
USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the important notices given above before referring to the main instruction book for
detailed operating instructions.
Frequency of cleaning ash and residues from combustion chamber and ash-box
The owner is required to regularly carry out this cleaning operation and the frequency will
depend on the heating load. When first put to use the boiler should be checked on a daily
basis and experience will show how often this will eventually be required. Remember also that
during the main heating season the cleaning interval will shorten as the load on the boiler will
be higher.
Recommended fuels
The boiler is designed to burn wood logs only as detailed in the main instruction book. Under
no circumstances should you attempt to burn any other type of fuel.
HETAS Ltd Approval
This appliance has obtained HETAS Ltd approval for burning wood logs only as specified in the
main instruction manual. Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed
with the recommended fuel, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels.

General
Before lighting the boiler check with the installer that the installation work and
commissioning checks described above have been carried out correctly and that the
chimney has been swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of
the boilers’ commissioning and handover the installer should have shown you how
to operate the boiler correctly.
Do not light the boiler if there is a possibility that any part of the heating system
may be frozen
Please make sure the ash-pit door and the hopper lid/charging door are firmly
closed at all times whilst the boiler is in operation.
CO Alarm
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If
the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note”
above.
Boiler Access
Access to the boiler should be restricted for children, aged and/or infirm persons by
way of a lockable door to the room in which the boiler is installed.
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the flue
connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown
period. 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.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the boiler the installer will
have provided alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney
the boiler flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the boiler to the chimney must
be cleaned with a flue brush.
IMPORTANT NOTES

Supplementary Operating Instructions
Important Notes
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the boiler is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given
a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. Empty the combustion
chamber of any unburnt fuel. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance
to reduce condensation and to avoid door seals becoming stuck and subsequently
damaged, leaving the filling hatch and combustion chamber doors slightly ajar, will
reduce the possibility of unnecessary damage and corrosion.
Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the boiler as this can
cause the boiler to emit smoke and fumes into the room
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the boiler when it is alight.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when
the boiler is in use.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur.
However, if a chimney fire does occur the fire brigade should be called immediately.
Shut the draught stabilizer, turn off the boiler, isolate the mains electricity supply and
check the primary and secondary air controls are closed along with the doors. This
may cause the chimney fire to go out.
Do not attempt to relight the boiler until the chimney and flue ways have been
cleaned and examined by a qualified engineer to determine the cause of the fire.
Permanent air vent
The boiler requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate
safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a
permanent air supply vent into the room in which the boiler is installed to provide
combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.
