USER MANUAL FOR STOVES WITHOUT BOILERS
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 INSTRUC-
TIONS 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 recom-
mendations 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 Approved Document J.
Should any conflict apply between these instructions and the original manufacturers instructions then the
most stringent advice must apply.
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 gui-
dance 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.
