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.
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.

!
contains a bath, or shower or where steam is regularly present.

bottom front of the appliance. The elbow can be rotated to allow a connection from
any direction. The elbow includes a valve for isolating the gas supply.
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
