11 SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCKTIONS UK
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLATION
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles to ensure
the satisfactory installation of the 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 recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007
as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the guidance
given in Approved Document J. Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the
installation of the stove is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or is installed by a Competent Person
registered with a Government approved Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their
Registered Competent Persons can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
CO Alarms: Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass
appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance
on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer's
instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring
regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area.
It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated
smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in
an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area). In England appliances are
exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean
Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. In Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish
Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. Similarly, In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted
by publication on a list by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the Environmental
Better regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
The TermaTech TT44 series have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs and
when fitted with a smoke control kit (damper control unit) to prevent closure of the primary and secondary air controls beyond
the 30% open position. Please read section 8 in the Installation and user manual. Further information on the requirements of the
Clean Air Act can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case of contact wash
immediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of installation then please seek
specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
STOVE PERFORMANCE
Please refer to the table in the main instruction manual for details of the stoves' performances
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
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate draught of
approximately 15 Pa so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems into the room. NOTE: A chimney
height of not less than 4.5 meters measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney should be
satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation procedure given in EN 13384-1 may be used as the basis for deciding whether a
particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught. 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 i.e. more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking
expert advice, if necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in
accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J. Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been
swept clean immediately before installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be
swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between
the stove and the open fire. If there is no existing chimney then any new system must be to the designation described above and
in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J. A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to
