SUPPLEMENTARY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UK MARKET
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLATION
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles to
ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight modification
to suit particular local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws
and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant
recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007 as an alternative means
to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Ap-
proved Document J.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the
installation of the stove is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or is
installed by a Competent Person registered with a Government approved Competent Persons
Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their Registered Competent Persons
can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
CO Alarms:-
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance
is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further
guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the
alarm manufacturer's instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or
ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act
are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case of contact
wash immediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of installation then
please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
In the UK the stove has been approved by HETAS Ltd as an intermittent operating appliance for burning wood logs only.
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit fumes into
the room.
Chimney
For the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate draught of approxi-
mately 15 Pa so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems into the room.
