INSTALLING

a ‘controlled service’, the
law expects that it is either
supervised by a qualified
installer or that the building
inspector is informed. Check
with your local authority.
A certificate of installation
must be issued by building
control or a competent person
scheme.
ASBESTOS
Your stove does
not contain asbestos, but take
care to avoid disturbing
asbestos in an old installation.
WEIGHT
Your stove is heavy
(187kg) take great care
when moving it and ensure
that the intended fireplace
can support the weight-
consider fitting a load
distributing plate.
YOUR FIREPLACE
Stoves
become VERY hot, the setting
must be made entirely of
durable non-combustable
materials. take care to
observe the safe distances to
combustibles shown on the
back page.
YOUR CHIMNEY
Specific rules apply where
the flue passes through
timber, thatch or other
vulnerable materials - take
specialist advice. It is not
possible to access the
chimney for cleaning through
the stove, inspection and
sweeping access must be
provided. The chimney must:
• Generate a draught in use
of at least 12Pa (0.05ins wg)
• Be capable of withstanding
the temperatures generated.
• Be absolutely incapable
of leaking fumes into
the dwelling
Several different forms of
chimney may be suitable,
but they will commonly need
to be:
• At least 5m high.
• Terminating at least 1m
above any roof ridge.
• Have an internal cross-
section equivalent to not
less than 150mm dia and
not more than 0.14m²
(eg 375 x 375mm)
• Be free from even the slightest
crack or source of leakage.

• Be of thick masonry or
otherwise adequately

• Conform to local and
national building
regulations.
AIR SUPPLY:
The stove
needs a fresh air supply
complying with the
requirements of building
regulations to operate
correctly. Where needed,
it is wise to fit an outside
vent as close to the fire as
possible. Correctly sited
and sized, air will only
move between the vent
and the stove, preventing
unpleasant draughts.
An extractor fan, or another
flue-using appliance, or an
open fireplace or chimney,
in the same building,
may remove this air.
