o Voids in the chimney should be avoided, as these will prevent a steady
flue draught. The appliance flue pipe should pass beyond the narrowing
of the chimney.
o Terminate at least 1m above roof level so that the chimney does not
terminate in a pressure zone.
o If the appliance is installed as a freestanding appliance, it should not
support any part of the chimney.
o Be free from cracks, severe bends, voids, and obstructions.
o Be connected to this one appliance only.
o New chimneys must be in accordance with local regulations.
o The chimney must be capped to prevent ingress of rain.
o A flue/chimney access point is required so that the state of the chimney
can be checked and any fallen soot removed.
o External flues must be insulated to prevent heat loss.
o Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.
o Be a minimum 4.6m high from top of the cooker to the chimney pot.
o It is recommended that an inspection hatch is fitted to the chimney as
this will make future cleaning easier.
o A single wall starter length with a single to twin wall adapter will be
needed to use twin wall insulated flue. The stove will need to be moved
away from the wall to accommodate use of twin wall flue.
NOTE
The chimney/flue to which this appliance is being connected must be swept
and examined for soundness prior to installation. Remedial action should be
taken if required, seeking expert advice if necessary. Where the chimney is
believed to have served an open fire installation it is possible that a higher
flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were
firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore
recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of
regular use after installation.
Flue Draught
The chimney can be checked before the appliance is installed with a smoke
match. If the chimney doesn’t pull the smoke, it may suggest the chimney needs
attention.
