INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Each installa�on is unique to the property so it is not possible to give details to suit every se�ng. The installa�on must comply with local and na�onal Building Regula�ons and be made using best prac�ce construc�on methods. Many fireplace openings have a suppor�ng lintel. Do not remove without suppor�ng the remaining structure of the building. - Page 9 All open flued appliances can be affected by temporary atmospheric condi�ons which may allow fumes to enter the house. Building regula�ons require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fi�ed in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installa�on of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in the latest edi�on of BS EN50292 and from the alarm manufacturer's instruc�ons.
