User guide

The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free

air gap of at least 200mm must be left around the sides and top and at least

50mm at the back of the stove to obtain maximum heat output and for

access to the rear of the stove.

MINIMUM DISTANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

Note: combustible material refers to any material that will degrade when

subjected to heat e.g. plaster.

Due to the heat of a hot stove, a suitable fire guard should always be used to

provide additional protection. Never allow young children to be left

unsupervised in a room containing a hot stove.

Note; If in doubt, refer to the Building Regulations 2000 Approved Document

“J”.

THE CHIMNEY

The stove is supplied with a flue pipe connector for top or rear mounting with

the fixing screws supplied. The stove should never be connected to a shared

chimney/flue system.

Flue pipes with a smaller cross-sectional area than that of the stove outlet

should never be used. Flue pipes must not project into the chimney

connector, such as to cause a restriction to the gas flow.

Sizes of flues in chimneys are stipulated in Table 2 of the Building Regulations

2000 Approved Document “J” as follows:

1. Stoves under 20kW rated output which burn smokeless or low volatile fuel

require a minimum flue size of 125mm diameter (or rectangular flues

having the same cross-sectional area and a minimum dimension not less

than 100mm for straight flues or 125mm for flues with bends or offsets.

2. Stoves of up to 30kW rated output burning any fuel require 150mm diam-

eter (or rectangular flues having the same cross-sectional area and a

minimum dimension not less than 125mm.

Liners should be installed in accordance with their manufacturers instructions.

Appropriate components should be selected to form the flue without cutting

and to keep joints to a minimum. Bends and offsets should be formed only

with the matching factory-made components. Liners need to be placed with

the sockets or rebate ends uppermost to contain moisture and other

condensates in the flue. Joints should be sealed with fire cement, refractory

mortar or installed in accordance with their manufacturers instructions. Ensure

the joints are completely sealed as air leakage will lead to poor

performance. Avoid having more than two bends in the flue system. Any

offset between bends should be minimised and the flue should be equipped

with suitable access doors for inspection & cleaning. For further detail refer to
