A flue draught of 12-15 Pascals is ideal for good appliance performance. The
flue draught should be checked under fire at high output. A flue draught
exceeding 15Pa will result in an over-firing stove with excessive fuel
consumption and could cause a chimney fire. A draught stabiliser may be
required so that the rate of burning can be controlled. Over-firing can cause
irreversible damage to your stove.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local
dealer/stockist. They will also be able to provide advice about the possible need
for a specialist cowl.
The chimney must be swept before connection to the stove and it is
recommended that it should be swept every twelve months thereafter. If used
regularly, it is recommended that your chimney is swept every six months.
An existing fireplace opening can be modified to accommodate the stove. The
following pages identify some typical installation scenarios and provides the
necessary specific installation information for your new stove. Always consult
your stove supplier for a detailed survey of your particular circumstances.
To make it easier to handle the stove on installation, remove the baffle plates,
bricks and door.
Place in a secure place to avoid damage.
Refit after
installation.
Upon completion of installation, the appliance should be checked under fire for
soundness of joints and seals, and also that all smoke and fumes are taken from
the appliance, up the chimney and emitted safely by measuring and noting the
flue draught value in Pascals.
