PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS

IMPORTANT WARNING

This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit
fumes into the room.

Chimney

Note: The flue is under a small positive pressure so all flue joints must be sealed with a suitable
high temperature silicone sealant to ensure there is no flue product leakage into the room.

For the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate draught
of  approximately 12 Pa so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems into the
room.

NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 3.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the
top of the chimney should be satisfactory. If using factory made metal flue pipe refer to the detailed
appliance instructions.  Alternatively the calculation procedure given in EN 13384-1 may be used as the
basis for deciding whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught.

Please Note, this appliance has been tested by the manufacturers and works

on a 3.5m straight flue.

The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of
Building Regulations Approved Document J.

If installation is into an existing chimney then it is essential that it is sound and have no cracks or other faults
which might allow fumes into the house. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert
advice, if necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must
be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.

Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before
installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one
month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion
between the stove and the open fire.

If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building
Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used.
These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.

Please Note, pellet stoves have a flue outlet size of 80mm and are suitable for

use with 100 and / or 125mm flues depending on site conditions.

Please refer to Robeys website, Brochure Downloads / Help & Advice for flue

sizes etc.

Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°.  90° bends should not be used
except at the stove connection to the flue.

Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or
flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due
account must be taken of the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building
Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
