5.4 Flue / Chimney.

Before you install the stove make sure the chimney flue outlet is correctly positioned
-
to align with the flue outlet on the stove and that the chimney is in good condition. If
not, a chimney liner must be installed or a suitable class 2 gas flue used.
The stove is approved for connection to a 102mm (4") twin wall flue complying to
BS715. A 127mm (5") single wall "Decorative flue length" maybe fitted over the inner
4" twin wall. Any deviation from a vertical flue run should be kept to a minimum, an
offset in the first 600mm of the flue is acceptable providing any deviation from the
vertical is no greater than 45 degrees and the maximum distance of the offset is no
greater than 200mm.
A draught is necessary to ensure the products of combustion are fully evacuated.
Connect and seal the stove flue collar to the chimney using full depth of collar. The
flue must have a minimum effective height of 3 metres (10ft), however, to ensure
optimum performance we recommend 3.66 metres (12ft) or higher. The flue must be
free of obstruction and any dampers must be fixed in a permanently open position.
Ensure that the chimney is not closed and that it has been swept prior to the stove
being installed. Make sure that rain, birds or any foreign bodies cannot get into the
chimney and cause blockage or damage. This problem can normally be overcome by
fitting an approved gas cowl. It is essential to the effective running of your stove that
the chimney draws properly and allows the products of combustion to escape.
5.5 Ventilation.
Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
-
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS5871 Part 1
and in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 " Domestic gas
installations" which make clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available.
An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
-
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on
in this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.

5.6 Location.

This appliance must not be installed in a private garage or any room, which contains
a bath, or shower or where steam is regularly present.

5.7 The Atmosphere sensing device (ASD).

The appliance is fitted with an A.S.D (Atmosphere sensing device). If the appliance
closes down after a period of operation for no apparent reason, the consumer should
be informed to stop using the appliance until the installation and appliance have been
thoroughly checked. The A.S.D will shut the appliance down if an unacceptable
amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no circumstances
should the A.S.D be altered or bypassed in any way. Only a genuine manufacturer's
replacement part should be fitted. The individual A.S.D components are not
replaceable.
