ITTING THE
S
TOVE
IMPORTANT – Read this section carefully and
ensure that any required access holes,
register plates or flue connections are in
place before carrying out the installation.
If the installation is to be back filled with
vermiculite concrete the convection chamber
flange should be sealed to the fireplace using
fire cement, heat proof silicone or similar
material. All seams in the convection
chamber should also be sealed.
It is recommended that the convection
chamber flange is sealed to the fireplace in
all cases as this will reduce the chance of
airflow into any voids reducing the stoves
efficiency or the ingress of unpleasant smells
into the room.
If fitting the Direct Air Adaptor Kit the
instructions supplied with the kit should be
read in conjunction with these instructions.
1.
Offer the convection chamber into
position in the recess pushing it back
far enough so that the flanges on the
edges are pushed up tightly against
the front face of the chimney
breast/fireplace.
2.
Drill a 6mm hole into the hearth in the
centre of the base plate fixing hole.
Use the screw supplied to fix the
stove in place.
Any voids around the stove must be in-filled
with vermiculite concrete with a
recommended mix of six parts vermiculite to
one part Ordinary Portland Cement. This may
be carried out once the flue has been fitted
provided a suitable access hole for backfilling
is made in the chimney breast (see section on
connection to a masonry chimney). Sufficient
water should be added so that when a
handful of the mixture is squeezed no more
than one or two drops of water are released.

LUE CONNECTION
The flue connection is made to the convection
chamber and not to the firebox. The
connection between the flue and firebox is
completed when the firebox is re-fitted to the
convection chamber.
Dependent on the type of installation the flue
collar may need to be connected to the
convection chamber before or after
installation of the flue/liner.
1.
Determine the required orientation of
the flue collar (vertical or leant
backwards by 30°).
2.
Offer the flue collar into position from
inside the convection chamber and fix
in place using the four M8
countersunk screws.
Ensure that the
screw heads are not proud of the flue
collar flange.
If connecting to a stainless steel liner
, the flue
liner and single skin adaptor can be lowered
down the chimney and the spigot end of the
adaptor lowered into the convection
chamber. The flue collar can then be
connected to the adaptor.
The completed flue collar assembly can then
be pushed up to the top of the convection
chamber and secured in position using the
four M8 countersunk screws. Check the
clearance of the flue liner adaptor through the
top of the convection chamber before
deciding on this method.
