INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT WARNING: This stove must not be
installed into a chimney that serves any other
heating appliance. There must not be an extrac-
tor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as
this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the
room.
The installation must be completed in accordance
with current National and European Standards and
Local Codes. It should be noted that the require-
ments and these publications may be superseded
during the life of this manual.
PRE-INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY
1. After removing the stove from the packaging,
open the fire door and remove all contents from
inside.
2. Fit the fire door handle using the screw provided.
3. Remove the stove from the pallet and position it
in the final installation position (See Location
& Clearance to Combustibles Section).
FLUES
Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45
flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a
back outlet from the appliance, when the length of
the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm.
In order to minimise flue resistance and to make
sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45
bends rather than a 90
The flue termination point must be located to min-
imise any wind effects.
pressure zones and turbulence can be created by
the roof and adjacent objects. Wind effects can also
be created by natural land contours.
To minimise the wind effects, the flue termination
point should be located a minimum of 600mm from
the roof measured vertically and 2300mm measured
horizontally. Where this termination point does not
suffice it may be necessary to extend the flue pipe
so that the termination point is above the apex. See
