Important To remember
Installation By Authorised Technician
This manual contains instructions on how the stoves must be assembled, maintained and installed. To ensure the
function and safety of the stove, the installation must be carried out by an authorised technician. Contact one of our
dealers to find a suitable fitter.
Structural Support
Check that the wood joists are strong enough to bear the weight of the stove and chimney. The stove and chimney can
usually be placed on a normal wooden joist in a single occupancy house, if the total weight does not exceed 400kg.
Building Permission
Before installing a stove or erecting a chimney, it is necessary for you to make an application for building permission to
your local authority. Ask your local authority for advice regarding building regulations and the application.
Hearth Plate
Due to the risk of embers falling out, a flammable floor must be protected by a hearth plate. It must extend 300mm in
front of the stove and 300mm on each side of the stove, or have a 200mm extension on each side of the opening. The
hearth plate can consist of natural stone, concrete, metal plate or glass. 12mm light duty hearths are acceptable.
