Installation Instructions

Location of the unit

Clearances to non-combustible
materials
• Neo 1P/1C/3P/3C Models
There is a recommended minimum
clearance of 150mm at each side of the
appliance. A clearance of 150mm is
required at the back of stove (if the rear
wall has a thickness of 200mm or more
this measurement can be reduced to
50mm) a minimum clearance of 300mm
is required above the appliance.
• Neo 1W/3W Models
There must be a minimum clearance of
150mm at each side of the appliance.
The wall behind the appliance must be a
minimum thickness of 200mm and be
able to bear the weight of the appliance.
The wall must consist of, or be insulated
with, fire proof materials. The insulation
material must resist a temperature of
700ºC and have a density of 80 Kg/m³,
such as Vitcas fireplace render and Vitcas
Heat Resistant plaster (www.vitcas.com)
Avoid heat transmission when placing the
stove. Heat transmission of a burning
stove can penetrate the wall and even
cause fire damage on the other side of
the wall. Prevention is better than cure.
Clearances to combustible
materials
• Neo 1P/1C/3P/3C Models
For the 1P/1C models there must be a
minimum clearance of 300mm at each
side of the appliance, for the 3P/3C
models there must be a minimum
clearance of 500mm at each side of the
appliance, all models require a 300mm
clearance at the rear of the appliance
from any combustible materials. If using
single wall flue pipe, there must be a
clearance of at least 3 times the diameter
of the flue pipe (e.g. 125mm diameter
pipe = 375mm minimum clearance) from
any combustible materials e.g. wooden
beam.
• Neo 1W/3W Models
There must be a minimum clearance of
500mm at each side and 300mm at the
rear of the appliance from any
combustible materials. If using single
wall flue pipe, there must be a clearance
of at least 3 times the diameter of the flue
pipe (e.g. 125mm diameter pipe =
375mm minimum clearance) from any
combustible materials e.g. wooden
beam.
Curtains and soft furnishings should be a
minimum of 1m away from the appliance.
Adequate space should be provided for
servicing the appliance.
We do not recommend that plasma
televisions and expensive artwork are
hung over the fireplace.
Please remember that this appliance has
been designed to provide heat and if
installed into a recess enough space
should be left around the appliance to
enable the heat produced to rise and
escape from the recess back into the
room.
Hearth Requirements
The appliance must stand on a level
fireproof hearth with a minimum thickness
of 12mm. The hearth temperature
created by this stove is below 100˚C. The
hearth must protrude at least 300mm in
front of the appliance and 150mm either
side of the appliance.
The appliance shall be installed on a floor
with an adequate load bearing capacity. If
an existing construction doesn't meet
with prerequisite, suitable measures
(e.g.load distributing plate) shall be taken
to achieve it.
Flue Requirements
The chimney must comply with current
Building Regulations. Provision must be
made to provide access for cleaning the
appliance, the flue gas connector and the
chimney flue.
The flue must be:
In sound condition and provide sufficient
draft (minimum 12 Pa)
Suitable for use with solid fuel burning
appliances
Be able to clean the entire length of the
