above operation, an additional air vent of sufficient

size to prevent this occurrence should be installed.

PERMANENT AIR VENT

The stove requires an adequate air supply in order

for it to operate safely and efficiently. The installer

may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the

room in which the stove is installed to provide com-

bustion and/or ventilation air. This air vent should

not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.

Extractor Fan

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same

room as the stove as this can cause the stove to

emit smoke and fumes into the room.

COMMISSIONING AND HANDOVER

Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the

instructions.

On completion of the installation allow a suitable

period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry

out, before lighting the stove. Once the stove is

under fire check all seals for soundness and that the

boiler and water system are operating correctly.

Ensure that the flue is functioning correctly and that

all products of combustion are vented safely to

atmosphere via the chimney terminal.

On completion of the installation and commissioning

ensure that the operating instructions for the stove

are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the cus-

tomer on the correct use of the appliance and warn

them to use only the recommended fuels for the

stove.

Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes

be emitted from the stove. The customer should be

warned to use a fireguard to BS 6539 in the pres-

ence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

FLUE PIPES

Flue pipes with spigot and socket joints should be fit-

ted with the socket upper most. Clearance to com-

bustibles must be adhered to when fitting the flue

pipe. The connecting flue pipe must not be less than

the diameter of the stove outlet. The flue gas mass

flow is 7.6 g/s mineral fuel and 7.9 g/s wood logs.

The mean flue gas temperature directly downstream

of the spigot at nominal heat output is 317°C. The

appliance is suitable for continuous operation on

solid mineral fuel and intermittent operation on wood

logs.

VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR

REQUIREMENTS

This appliance is rated at less than 9kW. It is imper-

ative that there is sufficient air supply to the stove in

order to support correct combustion. The air supply

to this appliance must comply with B.S. 8303: Part 1

and current Building Regulations. The minimum

effective air requirement for this appliance is 22cm

If a draught stabiliser is used then this increases to

49cm

When calculating combustion air requirement for

this appliance use the following equation: a total

free area of at least 550mm

per kW of rated output

above 5kW shall be provided. If there is another air

using appliance fitted in the same or adjacent room,

it will be necessary to calculate additional air supply.

All materials used in the manufacture of air vents

should be such that the vent is dimensionally stable

and corrosion resistant.

The effective free area of any vent should be ascer-

tained before installation. The effect of any screen

should be allowed for when determining the effec-

tive free area of any vent.

Air vents direct to the outside of the building should

be located so that any air current produced will not

pass through normally occupied areas of the room.

An air vent outside the building should not be locat-

ed less than the dimensions specified within the

Building Regulations from any part of any flue ter-

minal. These air vents must also be fire proofed as

per

Building Regulations.

Air vents traversing cavity walls should include a

continuous duct across the cavity. The duct should

be installed in such a manner as not to impair the

weather resistance of the cavity. Joints between air

vents and outside walls should be sealed to prevent

the ingress of moisture. Existing air vents should be

of the correct size and unobstructed for the appli-

ance in use. If there is an air extraction fan or other

air using appliance fitted in the room or adjacent

rooms where this appliance is fitted, additional air

vents will be required to alleviate the possibility of

spillage of products of combustion from the appli-

ance/flue while the fan is in operation.

Where such an installation exists, a test for spillage

should be made with the fan or fans and other appli-

ances using air in operation at full rate, (i.e. extrac-

tion fans, tumble dryers) with all external doors and

windows closed. If spillage occurs following the
