TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic
principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may
need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local
Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation
of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting
the relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007
as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained
following the guidance given in Approved Document J.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building
Regulations that the installation of the stove is either carried out under Local
Authority Building Control approval or is installed by a Competent Person registered
with a Government approved Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such
a Scheme and a listing of their Registered Competent Persons can be found on their
website at www.hetas.co.uk.
CO Alarms:-
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/
biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the
same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide
alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer's instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance
correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney
system.
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and
Safety at Work Act are met.
Handling
