Installation Instructions - RAIS Q-TEE Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

ENGLISH
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 15287­1:2007 as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of
performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved
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 appli­
ance 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
