IMPORTANT
Co2 DETECTOR
It is the responsibility of the installer to fit a fully operational Co2 detector in the same room as this appliance.
INSTALLATION
THIS APPLIANCE CAN PRODUCE POISONOUS GASES IF NOT FITTED CORRECTLY.
THE STOVE AND ITS SURROUND CAN BECOME EXTREMELY HOT
A fire-guard should be used if children or infirm persons are present.
The installer is required to EXACTLY follow these instructions and to completely comply with all local, national and
international standards.
INSTALLING a stove is a 'controlled service', the law expects that it is either supervised by a qualified installer or that the building
inspector is informed. Check with your local authority.
ASBESTOS: Your stove does not contain any asbestos, but take care to avoid disturbing asbestos in an old installation.
WEIGHT: Your stove is heavy - take great care when moving it and ensure that the intended fireplace can support the weight- consider
fitting a load distributing plate.
YOUR CHIMNEY: by becoming warm, makes the gas inside it rise, pulling fresh air into the stove to make it work. It must:

Generate a draught in use of at least 12Pa (0.05ins wg)
 Be capable of withstanding the temperatures generated.
 Be incapable of leaking fumes into the dwelling
This will commonly be achieved by it:
 Being at least 5m high.
 Terminating at least 1m above any roof ridge.
 Having an internal cross-section not less than 0.018m² (e.g. 150mm diameter) and never more than 0.14m² (e.g. 375 x 375mm)
 Being free from even the slightest crack or source of leakage.
 Having no bends sharper than 45º.
 Being entirely free of obstructions and swept by a qualified chimney sweep.
 Being connected only to this one appliance.

Being of thick masonry or otherwise adequately insulated.
 Conforming to local building regulations.
Special rules apply where the flue passes through timber, thatch or other vulnerable materials- take specialist advice.
Although it is possible to access the chimney through the fire with the throat plate removed, fit hatches to provide access if needed.
AIR SUPPLY: Your stove needs air to breathe - there must be a permanent fresh air supply into the room in which it is installed equal
to about 550mm² (e.g. 23mm square). This can often be provided by air naturally leaking into the building (it is commonly accepted
th
at this alone can suffice for appliances <5kW) but in any case of doubt, fit a purpose-made air vent. An extractor fan, or another fuel-
using appliance, even in a different room, can remove this air.
LOCATION:
To prevent the risk of fire, the location into which your 1622 is fitted must always:
 Have no combustible materials (such as a wooden surround) within 250mm of the stove sides or 400mm above
 Be made of materials able to continuously withstand 250ºC
 Even outside these distances take care in locating vulnerable materials such soft furnishings, decorations and other
flammable materials.
CHIMNEY SWEEPING:
A
lthough it is often possible to sweep the chimney through the fire with the baffle plate removed, consider fitting cleaning hatches to
provide access if needed.
PRE-FITTING:
The 1622 can fit straight into a standard fireplace (Fig 9 on page 4) conforming to BS1251 & BS8303, which will:
 Have an opening width (A) of between 400 and 420mm.
 An opening height (B) of between 550mm and 570mm.
 A flat area (C) extending 70mm around the opening.
 Have a heat-resistant hearth extending at least 300mm (D), without obstructions to prevent the door opening.
 Have the chair brick removed.
 Where thin slabs of mineral material (marble, limestone etc.) are
used to face a fireplace, we recommend using separate panels, as
shown, to allow for differential expansion.)
