5.4 Appliances with fan(s)
Appliances that are made with one or more fans will heat a room more quickly and increase comfort. As soon as
the fan is switched on you will be able to sense a pleasant, warm air flow. The fan can be set in various positions.
The air flow can leave the appliance both at the front and via the convection openings. For more information on
appliances with fans, we would like to refer you to chapter 9 "Appliance specific information".

Note of references to the current UK regulations
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.
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance. More detailed advice
about existing chimney usage.
A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the
!Note
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.
