check the flue draught when fire is on high output.
Chimney Connection
You should brick up or seal an existing fireplace opening with a register plate. A
short length of flue pipe of a minimum 125mm internal diameter may then be used
to connect the stove to the chimney. This flue pipe should be of 316 grade stainless
steel or vitreous enamelled, nominal thickness 1.2mm. Ensure that the pipe end is
no closer than 76mm to the side or rear chimney walls.
Ideally, the old fireplace should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamline
entry into the flueway.
The length of any horizontal run of flue pipe must not exceed 125mm.
It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney-flue are sealed
and made airtight.
Both the chimney and flue pipe must be accessible for cleaning and if any parts of
the chimney cannot be reached through the stove(with baffle removed), a soot door
must be fitted in a suitable position to enable this to be done.
Water Connection (Boiler Model Only)
We recommend that the installation is carried out by a qualified heating engineer
who is fully experienced in solid fuel heating installations.
These must be provided
-an expansion tank open to the atmosphere,
-an indirect cylinder,
-a gravity circulation to one radiator to dissipate heat when the pump is off,
-the fitting of a low limit thermostat to the primary return to ensure the pump dose
not operate when return water temperatures are less than 50°C,
-a drainage tap in the return flow.
Air Supply
A permanent, unobstructed air opening is essential for the room or space containing
this appliance. The air opening should be at least 3625mm
2
when a draught
stabilizer is equipped. Due care for air requirements will need to be taken if any
other appliances are permitted to work in the same room and space.
Safety Clearances
It is workable for the appliance to be recessed in a prepared fireplace, but a suitable
free air gap (minimum 150mm) must be left around the sides and top and at least
50mm at the back of the appliance to reach maximum heat output and for access to
the rear of the stove. All non-combustible walls closer than 300mm to the stove
should be at least 75mm thick.
In all circumstances the back wall of the fireplace recess and the hearth should be
made of non-combustible material,
Allow an apron of a least 300mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either
side.
