This stove must not share a chimney with any other appliance - this includes gas
appliances as well as solid fuel.
Where a masonry chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation,
it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen
deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequential risk of a flue
blockage. It is therefore recommended that a masonry chimney should be swept a second
time within a month of regular use after installation. It is important to clean the stove flue-
ways, flue-pipe and chimney prior to operating after a prolonged shut-down period,
keeping the stove well ventilated during long periods of not using is also important to
prevent a build-up of condensation and rust forming.
Check the chimney is in good condition, dry, free of cracks, obstructions and integral
throughout. The cross sectional diameter of the brick chimney should not be less than
125mm and not more than 230mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney
should be lined by a suitable method using a liner with a cross sectional diameter not less
than 125mm.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and
mortar to dry out, before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under fire check all seals for
soundness and check that the flue system is functioning correctly and that all products of
combustion are being removed safely and vented to atmosphere via the chimney
termination point, which must only be an approved terminal.
When installing this stove, a 125mm flue liner may be used in accordance with BS8303
and current Building Regulations. The chimney and connecting flue pipe should not be less
than the size of the outlet socket (collar) of the stove at any point.
The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal must be in accordance with
the current Building Regulations and conform to the latest edition of BS EN 15287-1:2007,
Design, Installation and Commissioning of Chimneys.
On commissioning the Stove, a flue draught reading must be taken and documented on
the commissioning certificate this reading ensures the stove is operating within its
designed parameters and its optimum efficiency. A sample point has been included on
this appliance and is located on the top right-hand side of the stove.
Light the appliance following the procedure on Page 14. Allow the appliance and
chimney to reach their normal operating conditions. Care should be taken when
proceeding with the test as all stove parts will now be hot.
