provided. The superimposed hearth must not be less than 12mm thick and must have a clearly
defined edge (change of level) to discourage placing of any combustible materials on or partially
over it.
The appliance shall be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. If the existing
construction does not meet this requirement, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate)
should be provided to achieve it.
5.8. Accessories
Purevision stoves are provided with a selection of accessories including stands, log store stands,
and a dedicated outside air kit. Only use genuine Purevision accessories.
5.9. Commissioning and Handover
CO Alarm: Building Regulations require that whenever 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 is available in BS EN50292:2002 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.
Upon completion of the installation, allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and
mortar to dry out. A small fire may then be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are
taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere.
Advise the customer not to run the stove at full output for at 3 – 4 days. Explain that the stoves
can provide much more or less output than their rated heat outputs depending upon fuels, fuel
loads used and how they are operated.
Warn the customer that using excessive air (having the air controls open too wide for too
long) can over-fire and irreparably damage the stove. Damage caused by over firing is NOT
covered by any warranty.
On completion of the installation and commissioning, check all parts of the appliance are
correctly fitted and ensure that the operating instructions and operating tools (including gloves)
for the stove are left with the customer. You must be sure to advise the customer on the correct
use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to use only the
recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user on what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted into the room from the stove
– see Safety Notes section. The user should be warned that they MUST use a suitable fireguard
in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
