Figure 5. Dimensions and Clearances
Flue / Chimney.
The stove is approved for use with 125mm (5 inch) diameter insulated flue.
!
Before you install the stove make sure the chimney flue outlet is correctly positioned
!
to align with the flue outlet on the stove and that the chimney is in good condition. If
not, a chimney liner must be installed or a suitable class 2 gas flue used. A draught is
necessary to ensure the products of combustion are fully evacuated. Connect and seal
the the stove flue collar to the chimney using full depth of collar. The flue must have a
minimum effective height of 3 metres (10ft), however to, to ensure optimum
performance we recommend 3.66 metres (12ft) or higher. The flue must be free of
obstruction and any dampers must be fixed in a permanently open position. Ensure that
the chimney is not closed and that it has been swept prior 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.
