INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

If it is found that there is excessive draw in the chimney then a

draught stabilizer should be fitted.

It is important that there is sufficient draw in the chimney and that

the chimney does not suffer from down-draught. When the chimney

is warm the draw should be not less than 0.05 inches water gauge

(12Pa). If in doubt about the chimney seek expert advice.

HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND

The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth and combustible

materials must not be used in the construction of the fireplace unless

adequately fireproofed in accordance with local building regulations.

The hearth must be at least 12mm (0.5inches) thick. The positioning

of the stove and the size of the hearth are governed by building

regulations for Class 1 appliances. These building regulations state

that the hearth must extend in front of the stove by at least 225mm

(9 inches) and to the sides of the stove by at least 150mm (6

inches).Where possible it is helpful for the hearth to extend as far as

the doors when fully opened. If in doubt as to the positioning of the

stove expert advice should be sought either from the supplier or the

local building inspector.

The fireplace must allow good circulation of air around the appliance

to ensure that maximum heat is transferred to the room and also to

prevent the fireplace from overheating. A gap of 150mm (6 inches)

each side and 300mm (12 inches) above the appliance should give

sufficient air circulation. If a wooden mantelpiece or beam is used in

the fireplace it should be a minimum of 460mm (18 inches), and

preferably 600mm (24 inches) from the appliance. In some situations

it may be necessary to shield the beam or mantelpiece to protect it.

In order for the fire to operate correctly there must be an air gap

behind the appliance of at least 40mm, but be aware that this

distance will need to be greater in some cases to meet Building

Regulation requirements.

The appliance should be installed on a floor with adequate load-

bearing capacity. If an existing construction does not meet this

requirement then please take suitable measures to achieve this. (e.g.

load distributing plate.)

CONNECTIONS TO FLUES

There are several ways of connecting the stove to the flue. These are

illustrated in figures 9 to 12.

If a top flue connection (as shown in Fig. 11) or the vertical rear flue

connector (shown in Fig. 12) are used, then the chimney may be

swept through the appliance.
