PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS
IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
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.
Chimney
For the stove 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 stove
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.
Please Note, this appliance has been tested by the manufacturers and works
on a 3.5m straight flue.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the
provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults
which might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the
cross section may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if
required, seeking expert advice, if necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue
liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved
Document J.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before
installation of the stove. 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.
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.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for
using for 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
stove.
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 stove 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 stove instructions.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser should be fitted.
Fitting of a draught stabiliser will affect the requirement for the permanent air supply into the room in
which the stove 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 where it is not intended for the chimney to be swept through the
appliance, also to permit visual checks on the integrity of the flue when the appliance is serviced.

E903 5 July 2012
Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is
not independently supported. The weight of the stove is indicated in the brochure.
The stove should always 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 these stove instructions.
If the stove 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 stove and
15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the
room is double-glazed or a flue draught stabiliser is operating in the same room as the appliance. It
may be necessary to increase the air vent size in property with low air permeability ( < 5.0 m3/(h.m2).
The provision of air supply to the stove must be in accordance with current Building Regulations
Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this purpose.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If applicable and the appliance is being fitted within an existing fireplace recess,
specialist advice should be sought before fitting any permanent ventilation within this area.
Connection to chimney
Stoves may have a choice of either a rear or top flue gas connector that allows connection to either a
masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with their
instructions. In some cases it may be necessary to fit an adaptor to increase the diameter of the flue
to the minimum required 150 mm section of the chimney or liner.
Electrical Services
The installation of any electrical services during the installation of this appliance must be carried out
by a registered competent electrician and in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of
BS 7671
Carbon Monoxide Alarm
A carbon monoxide alarm complying with BS EN 50292 must be fitted in the same room as the
appliance. It should be positioned on the ceiling at least 300mm from any wall or, if it is located on a
wall, as high up as possible (above any doors and windows) but not within 150mm of the ceiling.
The alarm should also be between 1m and 3m horizontally from the appliance.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction booklet.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry
out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the
stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24
hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the
stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance
with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to use only the recommended fuels for
the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should
be warned to use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm per-
sons.

SUPPLEMENTARY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UK MARKET
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION
BOOKLET
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove 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. In the event of fume emission from the appliance,
then the following immediate action should be taken: ‑
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room and then leave the premises
(b) Let the fire go out
(c) When safe to do so, 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks
described in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has
been swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and
handover the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
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.
Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a
fireguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be
manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539).
If the fire is left unattended a spark guard to BS 3248, specification for spark guards for use with solid
fuel appliances should be used.
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.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney will require sweeping after a month of
continuous operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any “softer” deposits left from the open fire
usage have not been loosened by the higher flue temperatures generated by the closed stove.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided
alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue
pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
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 fur-

nace 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 author-
ise 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 requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found at:
http://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.
Fuel overloading:
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open:
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the
appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Dampers left open:
Operation with the air controls or dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not
be operated with air controls or dampers left open except as directed in the instructions.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove 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. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance
to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove
to emit smoke and fumes into the room.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove 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 turn off the stove immediately and isolate the mains electricity supply (if
applicable), and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out. If
the chimney fire does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be
called immediately. Do not relight the stove until the chimney and flueways have been cleaned and
examined by a professional.
Permanent air vent
The stove 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 stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not
under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.
