SUPPLEMENTARY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS UK
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE SUPPLEMEN-
TARY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet co-
ver the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the
stove, although detail may need slight modication to suit particular
local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regu-
lations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specications or regulati-
ons 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 15287-1:2007 as an alternative means
to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained fol-
lowing 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 car-
ried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or is instal-
led 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
xed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a
carbon monoxide alarm must be tted in the same room as the ap-
pliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide
alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manu-
facturer’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.
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or
part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It
is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a
furnace or from any xed boiler if located in a designated smoke
control area. It is also an offence to acquire an ”unauthorised fuel”
for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an ”exempt”
appliance (”exempted” from the controls which generally apply in
the smoke control area).

pliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and
