Installation Instructions
Health & Safety Precautions
Before you begin the installation process there are a number of things to consider:
• We recommend you avoid fitting the stove in the same room as an extractor fan.
However, if this is unaviodable, seek specialist advice to ensure safe installation and
operation of the stove.
• If work needs to be carried out that could potentially disturb any asbestos in your
home then ensure appropriate protection is worn before commencing work.
• The room you are fitting the stove in needs to have an adequate air supply, especially
if the room has double glazed windows. We recommend you check this with your
local building control officer and adhere to the building regulations requirements for
providing oxygen into the room
(your installer will confirm this with you)
.
• The requirements of both the BS 8303 and BS EN 15287-1:2007+A1:2010 standards
must be fulfilled.
• We recommend you only use a HETAS Approved Installer
to carry out the stove installation.
See hetas.co.uk.
• All local authority laws and building regulations must be
adhered to before installation and the required permission
to install must be obtained.
• Ensure you have a carbon monoxide and smoke alarm fitted in the same room as
the appliance.
Chimney
For the stove to perform correctly and safely your chimney height must not be less than
4 metres high, this height is taken from the outlet of the stove body to the very top of the
chimney. The outlet on our stove is 5 inches in diameter, therefore your chimney must have
a minimum width of 5 inches but preferably be 7-8 inches wide. Your chimney can be either
square or circular, as long as it meets the minimum width specifications.
If installing a stove into an existing fireplace, it must be swept and inspected to ensure that it is
in good condition and suitable for the type of stove you are installing. If any cracks, blockages
or excessive cross sections are found then you should consult a professional regarding
getting your chimney lined. The type of fuel you wish to burn needs to be considered before
getting your chimney lined so that a suitable lining is used.
If there is an excessive draw with the chimney then we recommend a draught stabilizer
be fitted. Alternatively if there is too little draw or down-draught then you must consult a
professional before lighting your stove. You should have a minimum draw of 2.5mm water
gauge.
Hearth & Fire Surround
The stove must be installed on a flat fireproof hearth for stability and the area in front and
around the fire must be clear of any combustible materials. The stove should not be flat
