AFTER INSTALLATION

Testing and Commissioning prior to first use

This is carried out using a flue flow test as described in BS EN 15287 Parts 1 & 2, with reference to the appropriate appliance type�

Appliance Operation

Appliance slumbering must be avoided, and if the appliance has been run on low fire conditions for an extended period, then it is advisable to run the appliance at controlled 
high fire condition for a minimum period of at least 30 minutes afterwards� Prolonged slumbering of the appliance at all times is a contributing factor to a system chimney 
failure� It is important to maintain sufficiently high flue gas temperatures in order to avoid condensate and acid corrosion problems, and to ensure complete combustion of the 
fuel at all times� If corrosion occurs due to slumbering, then the guarantee will be invalidated on the system�

Multi-Fuel Applications

Multi-Fuel refers to an appliance which may be used to burn either seasoned wood, or approved solid fuels� These fuels should not be mixed, as this increases the risk of 
deposits being built up in the liner�

Maintenance

Each chimney must be designed to allow for easy inspection; sweeping should be carried out by competent persons� On solid fuel applications a list of HETAS registered sweeps 
can be found at www�hetas�co�uk� Chimney flue cleaning and inspection require the use of appropriate tooling – under no circumstances should chemical cleaners or mild 
steel tools be used to sweep stainless steel chimneys� Cleaning/inspection of any chimney system should be carried out at least once a year, along with maintenance of the 
appliance, but it is recommended that chimneys serving solid fuel appliances be swept at least twice a year, at the end of the heating season to remove any deposits, which 
may have built up during the season, and prior to the start of the next heating season to ensure that the the flue way is clear of any blockages such as birds nests etc� We 
would advise that monthly checks are carried out to ensure that there is no build up of any deposits in the flue way of the connecting flue pipe or system chimney�

Fuel Storage and Usage

Where solid fuels are being used, correct storage is critical and fuels must be kept dry� Wood must be seasoned prior to use, with a maximum moisture content of 20%� Only 
approved fuels should be used� Refer to HETAS list for details on www�hetas�co�uk�The fuel used must be suitable for the appliance - please refer to manufacturer’s instructions�

CHIMNEY PLATE

The Notice plate should be marked up in indelible ink and securely fixed in an unobtrusive but obvious position 
within the building such as:

• Next to the electricity consumer unit�
• Next to the chimney installation described�
• Next to the water supply stop-cock�

See example alongside:
