the stove and that the chimney is in good condition. If not,
a chimney liner must be installed or a suitable class 2 gas
flue used. An up-draught is necessary to ensure the
products of combustion are fully evacuated.

The stove must be installed in accordance with current gas
and building regulations applicable.

Connect and seal the stove flue collar to the chimney with
a length of pipe fitting for a depth of at least 20mm (3/4").
A minimum of 610 mm (2ft) of vertical pipe should be
established before the flue direction is changed, unless the
stove is to be used with a fanned (powered) flue.

The flue must have a minimum height of 3 metres (10ft),
however to ensure optimum performance we recommend
3.6 metres (12ft) or higher. The flue must be free of
obstruction and any dampers must be fixed in a
permanently open position. Ensure the chimney is not
closed and that it has been swept prior to the stove being
installed.

Make sure that rain, birds or any foreign body cannot get
into the chimney to cause damage or a blockage. This
problem can normally be overcome by fitting an approved
Gas Cowl. It is essential to the effective running of your
stove that the chimney draws properly to allow the
products of combustion to escape.

Gas Connection.

The gas supply must be properly sized to provide the
correct gas rate at running pressure when measured at the
inlet valve. The final connection to the stove must be made
with a suitable 8mm dia gas pipe.

It is essential that a gas isolation tap is provided upstream
of the stove, in a position that is easily accessible.

Gas Pressure.

Make sure that there is adequate gas pressure and volume
to the stove. The relevant pressures are on the data plate.

Ensure that the gas pressure to the stove is maintained
when it is operating at the same time as other appliances
in the building.

The gas pressure can be obtained by unscrewing the
pressure test nipple and applying a suitable pressure gauge
i.e. a manometer.

Pressures to be as stated on the data plate.

Before any coals are placed in position make sure that the
burner is operating correctly. The flame should be fairly
even across the burner top.

Ventilation

Under normal circumstances no additional room

ventilation is needed.

Coals Layout
