COMMISSIONING
It is possible to pass a 16 inch diameter sweeps brush through the
appliance but in most back outlet installations it will be necessary to
have a soot door to enable the chimney to be swept. The optional
vertical rear flue connector does allow the chimney to be swept
through the stove. Soot doors may either be in the actual brickwork
of the chimney or in the register plate. Various positions of soot
doors are shown in Figs. 7 to 10.
Ensure that the throat plate is fitted in the roof of the appliance. The
location and positioning of the throat plate is shown in Fig. 6.
Check that the front fence is fitted correctly and that the door closes
properly.
If removed, ensure that the slots in the heat shield are refitted over
the tabs on the left and right hand side panels into the correct
position see fig. 12.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for
the fire cement and mortar to dry out before lighting the fire. Make a
layer of ash or sand on the base of the stove before lighting. Check to
ensure that smoke and fumes are taken from the appliance up the
chimney and emitted safely. Also check all joints and seals. On
completion of the installation and commissioning please leave the
operating instructions with the customer and advise them on the use
of the appliance.

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).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the
Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20
and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation
