INSTALLATION
Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating
instructions for the stove are left with the customer, the installer must advise
the householder on the correct use of the stove and warn them to use only the
recommended fuels listed in this document. The installer must also advise the
householder on the actions to be taken should smoke or fumes be emitted from
the stove.
Your Warm Home stove must not share a chimney with any other appliance
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire
installation it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a closed
appliance may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the
consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney
be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation. It is
important clean the appliance flue-ways, flue-pipe and chimney prior to lighting
up after a prolonged shut-down period.
Check the chimney is in good condition, dry, and free of cracks, leaks and
obstructions. The diameter of the flue should not be less than 125mm and not
more than 230mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney
should be lined by a suitable method.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire
cement and mortar to dry out, before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under
fire check all seals for soundness and check that the flue is functioning correctly
and that all products of combustion are vented safely to atmosphere via the
chimney terminal.
When installing your Helios
stove, a 125mm flue liner may be used in
accordance with the Building Regulations. The chimney and connecting flue pipe
should not be less than the size of the outlet socket (collar) of the stove at any
point.
The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal must conform to
Building Regulations and the latest edition of BS EN 15287-1:2007, Design,
Installation and Commissioning of Chimneys should be followed.
