Installation Instructions

General

These instructions give a guide for the installation of the stove but

in no way absolves the installer from responsibilities to conform

to all relevant standards relating to the installation of solid fuel

appliances.

This stove is designed to be recessed in a standard 16” sized

replace opening. The stove is only suitable for use on a replace

and chimney that has been tted for use with solid fuel. The

replace backpanel and hearth must have the necessary expansion

joints and the backlling suitable for solid fuel use.

We recommend that for UK installations a HETAS registered

installer should be used, who will be able to give a Certicate of

Compliance that installation complies with Building Regulations.

In Ireland a registered installer from the Irish Nationwide Fireplace

Organisation should be used.

Please note that to the best of our abilities these instructions are

correct at time of printing, however we cannot be held responsible

for any differences in legislation which may occur in the future.

Chimney

Before installing, check the chimney is in good condition; dry and

free from cracks and obstructions. The diameter of the chimney

ue should not be less than 125mm and not more than 200mm.

If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be

lined by a suitable method by a qualied person.

The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should

conform to Building Regulations. If you have any doubts about the

suitability if your chimney, consult your local dealer or stockist.

The chimney must be swept before connection to the stove and

the stove should be removed to clean the chimney at least once

a year by a qualied chimney sweep.

If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block

chimney or a twin walled insulated stainless steel ue to BS4543

can be used. These chimneys must be tted in accordance with

the manufacturers instructions and in compliance with Building

Regulations.

This product must not be installed on a shared ue.

Flue Deposits

If the chimney was previously used as an open re, it is possible

that the higher ue gas temperatures generated by the stove may

loosen deposits that were previously adhered to the inner surface

of the ue pipe which could cause a blockage. We recommend

that in this situation a second sweeping of the chimney should be

carried out within one month of initial stove use after installation.
