Chimney Connection
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate
draught to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems into the room.

A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney
should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation procedure given in BS5854:1980 may be used as the basis for deciding
whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then either an adjustable flue damper or alternately a draught
stabiliser should be fitted. The adjustable flue damper should not close off the flue entirely but should in its closed position
leave a minimum continuous opening free area of at least 20 % of the total cross sectional area of the flue or flue pipe.
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney and connecting flue
pipe.
Your appliance needs to be maintained routinely, the throat plate/baffle should be cleaned regularly (monthly). The flue
pipe can be cleaned using a flexible brush. Only Use a dry cloth on external surfaces. Over time the glass may become dirty,
clean with a damp cloth and polish off with damp cloth. If the stove has not been used for some time the flue should be
checked for blockages before use. Do not modify the appliance; only use spares authorised by the manufacturer.

Distance to Combustible materials
Combustible materials should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or flues could ignite
it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance
on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove
instructions. The minimum distances to flammable materials are specified on the EN 13240 plate on the back of the stove.
