These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the WESTFIRE WF32/
UNIQ 32 inset wood stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other
specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant recom-
mendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BSEN15287 as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent
level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved Document J.

PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS – IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit fumes
into the room.
Chimney – Chimney Connection – Flue Diameter 125 mm
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate
draught so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems into the room.
IMPORTANT: Once the stove is unpacked and checked it is necessary to remove the central bar from the flue collar of
the stove before installation. To remove unbolt collar remove bar and replace collar.

NOTE: The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of
Building Regulations Approved Document J. If installation is into an existing chimney, then it must be sound and
have no cracks or other faults which might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have
chimney faults or the cross section may be too large. Westfire Aps recommend the use of a solid fuel flue lining
system for all installation into existing chimneys. All chimney systems must be used in accordance with Building
Regulations Approved Document J.
If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regula-
tions Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 1856-1. These chimneys must be
fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and Building Regulations. A single wall metal flue pipe is
suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney. The con-
necting flue pipe must have a minimum diameter of 125 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size
