be adequate facilities for unloading and manoeuvring into position

The wrapping is first removed, then the stove released from the pallet

by either removing the single bolt (C-4) or 4 pallet bolts(C-5 to C-8)

using a 10mm spanner. The pallet brackets can now be removed from

the stove by tilting it and using a 13mm spanner to remove the bolts.

These 4 bolts are required for levelling or fixing on the Store Stand.

The Stove may now be moved to its final position. The pallet is

intended to be cut up and used for kindling fuel.

The

vent must be positioned such that it is not liable to blockage

HEALTH AND SAFET Y PRECAUTIONS

Please take care when installing the stove that the requirements of

the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are met.

Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to

come into contact with the skin. In case of contact wash with plenty

of water.

If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of

installation then please use appropriate protective equipment.

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the

stove as this can cause the appliance to emit fumes into the room.

Minimium areas are given in the following table:

This stove is capable of intermittent operation, and is not suitable for

use in a shared flue system.

In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS.8303 and

BSEN 15287-1:2007 must be fulfilled. Local Authority Bylaws and

Building Regulations, including those referring to national and

European Standards, regarding the installation of Solid Fuel burning

There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the

appliance is installed to provide combustion air. The combustion air

supply must be via a permanently open vent. The requirement for

minimum free area is partly dependent on the design air permeability

of the house. In older properties the air permeability will be above

5.0m³/(h.m²), but in some modern properties it may be less.

appliances, flues and chimneys must also be observed.

CO ALARMS

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 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.

The outputs in the table are based on a 45 minute re-fuelling cycle

burning seasoned hardwood logs. All tests are carried out in

accordance with BSEN 13240.

In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily the chimney

height must not be less than 4 metres measured vertically from the

outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney. The internal dimensions

of the chimney should preferably be 175 mm (7") or 200mm (8")
