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
In order 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 smo e 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.
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 crac s or other faults which
might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross sec-
tion may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be ta en, if required, see -
ing 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 installa-
tion 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 be-
tween the stove and the open fire.
If there is no existing chimney then any new system must be to the designation described above and in ac-
cordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove 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 soc et 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 ac-
count must be ta en of the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regula-
tions 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.

Hear h
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 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 adja-
cent 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 ma-
terial at least 12mm thic , 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.
Combus ion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there must be an adequate air supply into the room in
which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. 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.
Connec ion o chimney
Stoves may have a choice of either a rear or top flue gas connector that allows connection to either a ma-
sonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with their instruc-
tions. In some cases it may be necessary to fit an adaptor to increase the diameter of the flue to the mini-
mum required 150 mm section of the chimney or liner.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out,
before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under fire chec all seals for soundness and chec that the flue
is functioning correctly and that all products of combustion are vented safely to atmosphere via the chimney
terminal.
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 and warn them to
use only the recommended fuel for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smo e or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be
warned to use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of children, aged and/or
infirm persons.

READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOK AND THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THE STOVE
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. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be ta en:‑
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire go out.
(c) Chec for flue or chimney bloc age 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 see expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flue way or chimney bloc age. For your own safety these
must be ept clean at all times.
IMPORTANT NOTES
General
Before lighting the stove chec with the installer that the installation wor and commissioning chec s de-
scribed 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 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 unex-
pectedly, 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).
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.

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 con-
densation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
Ex rac or fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit
smo e and fumes into the room.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of opera ing ools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts li ely 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 ta en then the fire brigade should be called immediately. Do not relight the
stove until the chimney and flue ways have been cleaned and examined by a professional.
Permanen air ven
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.
USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Recommended fuels
Stoves may be designed to burn dry seasoned wood logs and/or solid mineral fuel as indicated in the main
stove manuals.
HETAS L d Approval
HETAS approval may be limited to specific fuel types as detailed in the main instruction manuals. 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.
