In other parts of the UK there are variations in legislation and processes. You can either: • Use a registered installer who can self certify that the work he does complies with the relevant Building Regulations;...
MATERIAL CLEARANCES The stove must have a minimum clearance of 1200 mm to a combustible ceiling below. Fig 4 It is recommended that the stove be installed at least 800 mm from combustible materials.

Fig 5 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.
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.

stove on a low setting. 4. After a couple of days burning at this level, increase the brightness & intensity of the fire gradually over the next 10 days. Full strength fires should not be used until completion of approx 20 days of mild use.
Be sure to remove the ash when the fire is at its lowest point, such as first thing in the morning. The Ash Can Filter is ideal for use in conjunction with the Clarke range of vacuum cleaners, for collecting hot ash and debris from stoves.
Wait until the stove has cooled down before doing this. This finish can be renovated with Clarke stove paint, although the paint may not be an exact match and it may be necessary to repaint the complete stove.

GLASS PANELS Clean any glass panels when cool, avoiding abrasive substances which could scratch the glass and make subsequent cleaning more difficult. Wet logs against a heated glass, a badly aimed poker or heavy slamming of the doors could crack the glass panels. The glass will not fracture with heat. Never replace any broken glass with glass NOT approved for use with cast iron stoves.
