Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately
before installation of the stove. If the stove is tted in place of an open re then the chim-
ney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have
occurred due to the dierence in combustion between the stove and the open re.
If there is no existing chimney then any new system must be to the designation described
above and in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
A single wall metal uepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not
suitable for use as the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting uepipe must have
a minimum diameter of 150 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size of the
outlet socket of the stove.
Any bend in the chimney or connecting uepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends should
not be used.
Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls
of replaces or ues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence
of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the separation of
combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these
stove instructions.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser should
be tted. Fitting of a draught stabiliser will aect the requirement for the permanent air
supply into the room in which the stove is tted in accordance with Approved Document J
(see also combustion air supply).
