before installation. If the chimney requires lining a lining must be used which is suitable
for wood and solid fuel, with a minimum of 125mm internal diameter. A meter of flue pipe
should be used from the stove before the chimney lining, and the lining must be installed to
manufacturers’ instructions. Alternatively, if there is no chimney, then an insulated
stainless steel flue may be used to BS EN 15287-1:2007 + A1:2010with a minimum of
150mm internal diameter and must be installed to manufacturers’ instructions and to
relevant Building Regulations.
The length of the chimney or flue must be at least 4.5 meters from the top of the stove and
must finish in a down draught free area.
A stove must not be installed into a room where there is an extractor fan or fumes could be
pulled down the chimney.
It is essential to provide a facility for sweeping the chimney, this may be done by installing
a soot door in the brickwork, or providing an access plate in the register plate or flue pipe.
The flue is fitted from the top of the stove and the baffle can be removed to sweep up
through the stove.
To connect the flue pipe to an existing chimney, a register plate is required, preferably
made of metal. A collar is welded to the underside of the register plate so that the flue
pipe can be placed into the spigot on top of the stove and round the outside of the collar on
the register plate, so forming a ‘funnel’ effect. In this way, any moisture running down the
chimney will be directed back into the stove instead of seeping out onto the top of the stove.
Connect the stove to the chimney using vitreous enameled flue pipe, from the top of the
stove. Make sure that all joints and connections are well sealed.
TO INSTALL EXTERNAL AIR SUPPLY
Put one jubilee clip over the flexi vent pipe. Push the vent pipe onto the rear air outlet on
the stove and tighten the jubilee clip. Drill a 100mm hole through the wall with a core drill
and push the vent pipe through the wall, cutting to correct length. Put the second jubilee
clip round the vent pipe then fasten to louvre grill. Back fill round the outside of the vent
pipe with insulating material to prevent draught getting into the house. Then fasten the
louvre grill onto the wall.
When installation is complete, allow a suitable time for fire cement and mortar to dry, light
a fire and make sure all joints are sealed. The stove is painted with a high temperature paint
finish. The paint will be cured when most surfaces have reached about 246 degrees C.
During this burn off period you will notice an unpleasant smell; you should not touch or
wipe the paint during this period as it will be soft and may mark. The room should be well
ventilated, children and pets should be kept away. Do not use water to clean the stove,
either before or after it is cured.
