    MATERIAL CLEARANCES The stove must have a minimum clearance of 1200 mm to a combustible ceiling above. Fig 3 It is recommended that the stove be installed at least 600 mm from combustible materials. However, any household furnishings should be at least 1000 mm away as they could be adversely affected by heat.

  • Page 9 Fig 4 As an alternative approach, the calculation procedure within BS EN 13384- 1:2005 can be used as the basis for deciding whether a chimney design will provide sufficient draught. If in doubt, consult the Building Regulations. The outlet from a flue should be above the roof of the building in a position where the products of combustion can discharge freely and will not present a fire hazard, whatever the wind conditions.
  • Page 10: Inspection And Cleaning

    INSPECTION & CLEANING Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry and free from cracks and obstructions. The diameter of the chimney should not be less than 150mm and not more than 230mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined by a suitable method.

    The UK Smoke Control Areas web-site (http:/ www.uksmokecontrolareas.co.uk) defines the location of smoke controlled areas throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and lists all fuels which are authorised for use in Smoke Control Areas. INITIAL SEASONING Following installation, and before regular use, the stove must be seasoned to prevent cracking of the metal casting.
