1. FLUE AND CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
WHEN INSTALLING A FLUE SYSTEM PLEASE REFER TO
THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
The European chimney standards now describe chimneys
and flues by their temperature, pressure and resistance to
corrosion, condensation and fire. To identify the correct flue
system, the minimum flue specification is shown in the
Technical Specification. Existing chimneys are not covered
by this system.
The flue must be installed in accordance with all local and
national regulations and the current rules in force:
• A flexible liner must be continuous from the appliance
spigot to the roof terminal
• The minimum effective height of the flue must be 3
metres (10ft)
• The flue must be free from any obstruction
• Any damper plates must be removed or secured in the
fully open position and no restrictor plates fitted
• The chimney should be swept immediately before
installing the appliance, but it need not be swept if you can
see the chimney is clean and free from obstruction
throughout

5. APPLIANCE LOCATION
NOTE: It is recommended you construct the back panel
of the fireplace from natural materials cut into three or
more sections to prevent cracking. Resin-based materials
may not be suitable. This appliance is an effective heat
producer and attention must be paid to the construction
and finish of the fireplace.
When preparing the aperture for installation into a builder’s
opening, the front of the wall must be cut out down to the
level on which the appliance is to stand. Then, to obtain the
correct dimensions shown in Diagram 1a, the lower section
of wall must be reconstructed as shown in Diagram 1a
