CHIMNEY

Do not connect to a chimney serving another
appliance.
The stove is a radiant room heater and must be con-
nected to a chimney of the proper size and type.
The chimney must have a diameter of at least 6"
(150mm). It is best to connect to a chimney of the
same size, as connection to a larger size may result
in a somewhat less draught. If installation is into an
existing chimney then it must be sound and have no
cracks or other faults which might allow fumes into
the house. Where the chimney diameter is greater
than 8" or the chimney is in need of repair the chim-
ney will need to be lined with a suitable approved
flue liner. Minimum chimney height 15' (4.5 meters)
from stove flue outlet measured vertically. The stove
must be connected to a chimney with a minimum
continuous draft of 12 Pascals poor draft conditions
will result in poor performance.
In adverse weather conditions, down drafts may be
experienced causing smoke or fumes to spill into the
room. If this occurs shut the appliance down by
closing the air controls. If the problem persists seek
the advice of a chimney sweep.
When installing a chimney care must be taken to
ensure the chimney/flue does not become a fire haz-
ard or a safety hazard where the flue pipe could be
touched. Follow the requirements from the relevant
building regulations.

Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction
and have been swept clean immediately before
installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place
of an open fire then the chimney should be swept
one month after installation to clear any soot falls
which may have occurred due to the difference in
combustion between the stove and the open fire.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting
the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for use
as the complete chimney.
