INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

These instructions give a guide for the installation of the stove but in

no way absolves the installer from responsibilities to conform to all

relevant standards relating to the installation of solid fuel appliances.

We recommend that for UK installations a HETAS registered installer

should be used, who will be able to give a Certificate of Compliance to

prove that installation complies with Building Regulations. In Ireland a

registered installer from the Irish National Fireplace Organization should

be used.

2.1. OPERATING AREA

For good operation and good heat distribution, your stove should be

installed in a room that is large enough for heat to circulate.

To allow

sufficient area for heat dissipation and prevent room overheating, the

room volume must not be less than 60 m

Please note:

• Fireplace stoves may not be installed in

bedrooms, bathrooms or where another heating

device is installed without autonomous air flow

(fireplace, stove, etc.).

• Placing the fireplace stove in explosive

environments is prohibited.

• In all instances the stove should be positioned on

a non-combustible hearth. The construction of the

hearth must conform to Building Regulations,

must be firm, non-combustible and capable of

supporting the stove.

• A protective hearth must provide an apron of

300mm to the front of the stove at floor level in

case of spills when refuelling or de-ashing.

• The walls surrounding the stove should be made

from non combustible materials where possible

and at all times minimum safe distances to

combustibles (100mm to sides and rear) must be

observed.

• A minimum air gap of at least 5mm should be

observed from any masonry, brick or other non

flammable type walls surrounding the stove.

2.2. PRECAUTIONS

The fireplace stove must be installed in a suitable location that permits

routine opening and maintenance operations. The room must be:

• suitable for stove operating conditions

• equipped with an adequate smoke exhaust system

• equipped with outdoor ventilation
