INSTALLATION
FITTING THE FLUE OUTLET AND
HOT PLATE
The flue outlet spigot is found packed inside the
appliance . The hot plate (blanking plate) is sup-
plied fitted to the top opening and is removed by
turning clockwise (as is the flue outlet).
Smear a very thin layer of fire cement on the
mating faces of the flue outlet and the hot plate. Fit
the outlet to the appliance in the desired position.
Lock into place by rotating anti-clockwise and
tighten by tapping with a block of wood and mallet
from inside of the appliance. Similarly, fit the hot
plate (blanking plate) to the unused opening. Clean
off any surplus fire cement.
Place appliance on the hearth and make sure that
it is level and does not rock.
Connect the chimney ensuring all joints are sealed
with fire cement.

Note : The flue pipe must be fitted inside the outlet
spigot. Failure to do so could result in the spillage
of condensation running down the flue.
SEALING OF TERMINALS
If an add in boiler is not to be fitted, please en-
sure that the two partially cut circular terminals
(located on the rear of the appliance) are sealed
with fire cement, and thus preventing surplus air
entering the firebox, resulting in less efficiency and
poor fuel consumption.

FLUES AND CHIMNEYS
The flue draw is critical on any installation and
should be checked to ensure that it matches what
is specified. If it is higher than recommended,
provision must be made to correct the over draw.
The draw can vary in different weather conditions
and the customer should be made aware of this.
Failure to correct an over-drawing flue will
invalidate the warranty.
Please remember that chimney draught is
dependent on four main factors :
The stove must be connected to a suitable and
efficient flue that products of combustion (fumes)
from the stove outlet to the outside air. To ensure a
good up draught it is important that the flue gases
are kept warm and that the flue size suits the
stove. The termination of the outlet at the top of the
flue also needs to comply with Building
Regulations. The minimum effective height of the
flue must be at least 4.5 metres from the top of the
Inside
stove to the top of the flue outlet. When warm the
flue draught should be between 0.1 to 0.2 mb.
A chimney may comply with regulations but still be
subject to down draught and similar problems. A
chimney terminating above the ridge level is
generally less likely to suffer such problems.
If a new chimney is being provided it should fully
comply with the relevant Building Regulations that
specify the requirements for solid fuel burning
installations. Suitable types of chimney include the
following :
Masonry Chimney : Built with clay or concrete
liners, or a chimney block system meeting Building
Regulations. These types of chimney should be
installed in accordance with the Building
Regulations and BS 6461:Part 1.
Factory Made Insulated Chimney : Complying
with BS 4543:Part 2 (often called "Class 1
Pre-frabricated metal chimney"). These types of
chimney should be installed in accordance with
Building Regulations and BS 7566: Parts 1 to 4.
