INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SITE REQUIREMENTS
1. FLUE AND CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
1.1 The chimney or flue system must comply with the rules in
force and must be a minimum of 127mm in diameter. (5").
1.2 The minimum effect height of the flue or chimney must be 3
metres (10ft). Any horizontal flue run from the rear outlet
should not exceed 100mm from the back of the appliance.
1.3 The chimney or flue must be free from any obstruction. Any
damper plates should be removed or secured in the fully
open position and no restrictor plates should be fitted.
1.4 The chimney should be swept prior to the installation of the
appliance. However, where it can be seen that the chimney
is clean and unobstructed throughout its entire length, it
need not be swept.
NOTE: If it is intended to fit the stove into a existing brick
built chimney without a closure plate, a 5" (127mm) liner
must be used. Larger lined flues may work, but in some
instances could cause cold start flue problems resulting in
nuisance shutdown. Lined flues above 7" (175mm) are not
recommended.
Due to recent changes to European chimney standards, new
flues and chimneys are now described by their temperature,
pressure and resistance to corrosion, condensation and fire.
To assist in identifying the correct flue system, the minimum
flue specification is shown in the technical specification of
this book. Existing chimneys are not covered by this system.
NOTE: THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT APPROVED FOR
CLOSURE PLATE INSTALLATIONS
