INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Efficiency Declaration The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS EN 613 : 2001 and the result is 61% (coal) & 59% (log). The gross calorific value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation. The test data from which it has been calculated has been certified by BSI Testing Services.
VENTILATION This Portway stove has a nominal input not exceeding 7kw and therefore does not normally require additional purpose made ventilation when installed in G.B. If, however spillage is detected when commisioning the stove there may be insufficient natural ventilation in the property and additional ventilation may therefore be required.
Using a smoke pellet, check that there is an up-draught in the chimney / flue and that the smoke can be seen issuing from the terminal / chimney pot outside. There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is important to check inside upstairs rooms / loft spaces adjacent to the chimney / flue.
There are several methods of installing the Portway gas stove to the flue system. Please follow the installation criteria stated below dependent upon which type of flue you are intending to install this gas stove into :- 2.2.1...
