For further information on installing and using fireplaces and wood burning stoves, please see the relevant
brochure on building regulations that applies to the country in which WF 23 has been approved, as well as the
relevant brochure on the correct use of wood burning stoves available from your local stove supplier or your

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
You must comply with all applicable national and local building regulations when installing your wood burning
stove. Please see the applicable regulations for full details. The regulations state that flammable floors beneath
closed hearths must be covered by a fire-proof material that extends a minimum of 30 cm in front of the stove
opening and a minimum of 15 cm on either side. The fire-proof material may be e.g. a steel plate, a glass plate,
tiles or artificial slate.
Installation of insert: The minimum distance from a flammable floor to the underside of the stove is 500 mm.
The insert must only be installed in walls constructed using non-flammable materials. The opening in which the
insert is to be installed must be at least 59 cm in height, 59 cm in width and 39 cm in depth.
The floor on which the wood burning stove is to be installed must be sufficiently strong to carry the weight of the stove.
The minimum distances to flammable materials are specified on the EN 13240 plaque on the back of the stove.
There are no rules regarding the minimum distance to non-flammable walls, but we recommend leaving a gap of
at least 10 cm behind the stove to make cleaning easier.
Combustion requires air, and fresh air must therefore be available in the room in which the stove is installed. Air
inlets must be positioned in such a way that they cannot be blocked. An air inlet may be a vent (the vent must be
open and the capacity of the vent sufficient when the stove is lit) or a fresh air system linked to the stove.
All wood burning stoves from Westfire are fitted with a smoke plate which ensures that the smoke travels far
enough.
CHIMNEY CONNECTION
The chimney to which the stove is connected must have a diameter of at least 15 cm, which corresponds to an
area of 175 cm2.
The chimney must be sufficiently long to provide a good chimney draft, and to ensure that the smoke from the
stove will not cause a nuisance. The chimney must be fitted with an easily accessible cleaning hatch.
