Contura 750, Installation Instructions Manual

Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or flues 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 fitted. Fitting of a 
draught stabiliser will affect the requirement for the permanent air supply into the room in which the stove is fitted 
in accordance with Approved Document J (see also combustion air supply).

Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney and con-
necting fluepipe where it is not intended for the chimney to be swept through the appliance.

Hearth

The hearth should be level and able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not 
independently supported. The weight of the stove is indicated in the brochure.

The stove should preferably be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and construction that is in accor-
dance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J.

The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls adjacent to the 
hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations 
Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.

If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor surface, it must be covered with a non-combustible material at 
least 12mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a distance of 30 cm in front of 
the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
