Commissioning

After Installation Is Complete

In your own interest and for safety, in the United Kingdom, it is the law that all solid fuel appliances are

installed by competent persons, a registered installer or approved by your local building control ofcer. The

Heating Equipment Testing and Approval Scheme (HETAS) require its members to work to recognised

standards.

Door Tension Adjustment

The door tension latch is factory set to give the optimum pressure on the door seal. It should not normally need

any adjustment until after the stove has had some considerable use or has had the glass replaced. However,

after installation and before commissioning adjust the door latch tension if required. The latch tension is adjusted

by adding or removing the shim washers behind the outer door latch.

This will adjust the tension of the door seal against the stove body.
