HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please take care when installing the stove that the requirements of
the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are met. Adequate facilities
must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.

Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to
come into contact with the skin. In case of contact, wash with plenty
of water.

If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please use appropriate protective equipment.

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the
stove as this can cause the appliance to emit fumes into the room.

The combustion air supply ducting must be connected to a suitable,
permanently open air inlet. See ‘Air supply’ section f

or details. This

stove is capable of intermittent operation. This stove is not suitable
for use in a shared flue system.

In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS 8303 and
BSEN 15287-1:2007 must be fulfilled. Local Authority Bylaws and
Building Regulations given in approved document J, including those
referring to national and European Standards, regarding the
installation of Solid Fuel burning appliances, flues and chimneys must
also be observed.

The installation of any electrical services must be carried out by a
registered competent electrician and in accordance with the
requirements of the latest issue of BS 7671

AIR SUPPLY

A spillage test must be carried

out during commissioning to verify adequate supply to the stove.

The ducted air supply provides combustion air to the stove, through a
100mm diameter duct. One end of the air supply ducting is
connected to the stove and the other can be terminated in the room
if the house design air permeability is greater than 5.0m³/(h.m²), or
can be ducted directly to outside. The ducting must be less than 5.5m
long and must not have more than five 90° bends and two 45°
elbows. In both cases the inlet must be permanently open and the
duct free of any constrictions. The inlet must have a suitable open
grille fitted to prevent entry by vermin.

CO ALARMS

Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement
fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a
carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the
appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon
monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the
alarm manufacturer's instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be
considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or
ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and
chimney system.

In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily the chimney
height must not be less than 4 metres measured vertically from the
outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney. The internal dimensions
of the chimney should preferably be 175mm (7 inches) or 200mm (8
inches) either square or round and MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 150
mm (6 inches).

If an existing chimney is to be used it must be swept and checked, it
must be in good condition, free from cracks and blockages, and
should not have an excessive cross sectional area. If you find that the
chimney is in poor condition then expert advice should be sought
regarding the necessity of having the chimney lined. If it is found
necessary to line the chimney then a lining suitable for Solid Fuel must
be used.

If the stove has been fitted in the place of an open fire, it is
recommended that the chimney is swept one month after installation
to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference
in combustion between the stove and the open fire.

If there is no existing chimney then a prefabricated block chimney or
a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BSEN 15287-1:2007 can
be used either internally or externally. These chimneys must be fitted
in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and Building
Regulations.

Single wall flue pipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the
chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney.

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 1.3mm (0.05 inches) water
gauge (12.5 Pa). If it is found that there is excessive draw in the
chimney then a draught stabiliser should be fitted. If in doubt about
the chimney seek expert advice.
