SAFETY WARNINGS FOR YOUR GUIDANCE
THIS FIREPLACE WILL BE HOT when in operation and due care should be taken. Thick gloves
should be used to operate the primary/ secondary controls or reaching inside the fireplace to
position fuel or remove ash.
FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS - Always use a fireguard in the presence of children, the elderly or
the infirm.
DO NOT OVERFIRE - it is possible to fire the fireplace beyond its design capacity. This could
damage the fireplace, so watch for signs of over firing - if any part of the fireplace starts to glow
red, the fireplace is in an over fire situation and the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never
leave the fireplace unattended for long periods without first adjusting the controls to a safe setting.
Careful air supply control should be exercised at all times.
THIS FIREPLACE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A SUITABLE FLUE OUTLET. Due to high
temperatures this fireplace should be located well away from furniture and curtains.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of hot surfaces. Young children
should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the fireplace. Do not
place clothing or other flammable material on or near the fireplace. Keep the fireplace area
clear of combustible materials, flammable liquids or vapours.
6
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CAN BE FATAL. Due consideration should be given to the
dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning following incomplete combustion of solid fuels in an
enclosed space. Ensure the room were this product is installed is well-ventilated, additional air
bricks may need to installed to allow for a source of permanent ventilation.

TOOLS REQUIRED
•screwdriver
•Adjustable spanner
•Fire Cement
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
You can either:
•Use a registered installer who can self-certify that the work he does complies with the
relevant
Building Regulations; or
•The consumer applies to their local authority building control department for a building
notice, and pays the appropriate fee.
It is generally worthwhile to use an accredited installer who will supply a Certificate of Compliance
as a record of the job and that it complies with Building Regulations.
SUPPORTING FLOORS
The fireplace must only be installed on floors with an adequate load bearing capacity and if the
existing construction is not suitable, additional measures such as a load distributing plate must be
provided. The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the fireplace and its chimney if
the chimney is not independently supported.
Fireplaces should stand wholly above hearths made of non-combustible board/sheet material or
tiles at least 12mm thick, if the fireplace is not to stand in a recess and has been tested to an
applicable standard to verify that it cannot cause the temperature of the upper surface of the
hearth to exceed 100oC.
Constructional hearths should be made of solid, non-combustible material such as concrete or
masonry, at least 125mm thick, including the thickness of any non-combustible floor and/or
decorative surface. An additional 400mm hearth gap should be provided in front of the fireplace in
case logs, coals or other burning or hot objects fall from the fireplace when the door is opened.
Specific guidance for surfaces on which the fireplace may be allowed to stand should be of
ceramic or concrete construction. When the fireplace is positioned near a wall constructed of
flammable material, the distances shown on Fig must be adhered to. Alternatively, a heat shield
may be used, mounted according to the position of the fireplace. A firewall must be at least
100mm thick and typically made of brick, or concrete/stone.
MATERIAL CLEARANCES
The fireplace must have a minimum clearance of 1200mm to a combustible ceiling above.
8
It is recommended that the fireplace be installed at least 800mm from combustible materials.
However, any household furnishings should be at least 1000mm away as they could be
adversely affected by heat.
The fireplace can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free air gap of at least
200mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50 mm at the back of the fireplace to
obtain maximum heat output and for access to the rear of the fireplace.
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Note: combustible material refers to any material that will degrade when subjected to heat e.g.
plaster. Due to the heat of a hot fireplace, a suitable fireguard should always be used to provide
additional protection. Never allow young children to be left unsupervised in a room containing a
hot fireplace.
THE CHIMNEY (FLUE)
The fireplace should never be connected to a shared chimney/flue system.
Flue pipes with a smaller cross-sectional area than that of the fireplace outlet should never be
used. Flue pipes must not project into the chimney connector, such as to cause a restriction to the
gas flow.
The flue pipe must be fitted INSIDE the flue spigot and must be sealed with a generous amount of
Fire Cement or rope seal.
The minimum size for a masonry chimney (not flue) is 170mm in diameter. A larger chimney size
can affect the performance of the fireplace.
Liners should be installed in accordance with their manufacturer’s instructions. Appropriate
components should be selected to form the flue without cutting and to keep joints to a minimum.
9
Bends and offsets should be formed only with the matching factory-made components. Liners
need to be placed with the sockets or rebate ends uppermost to contain moisture and other
condensates in the flue. Joints should be sealed with fire cement, refractory mortar or installed in
accordance with their manufacturer’s instructions.
Ensure the joints are completely sealed, as air leakage will lead to poor performance. Avoid having
more than two bends in the flue system. Any offset between bends should be minimized and the
flue should be equipped with suitable access doors for inspection & cleaning.
THIS FIREPLACE 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 FIREPLACE, AS THIS CAN CAUSE THE FIREPLACE TO EMIT FUMES
INTO THE ROOM.
FLUE HEIGHT
The chimney height and the position of the chimney should conform to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Flues should be high enough to clear the products of combustion. The height
necessary for this will depend on the type of the appliance, the height of the building, the type of
flue and the number of bends in it, and an assessment of local wind patterns. However, a
minimum flue height of 4.5m could be satisfactory. External flue pipes should be ‘twin wall’. These
retain the heat, enabling it to rise and disperse from the chimney. See diagram Fig 1 below for
effective flue height recommendations.
The outlet from a flue should be above the roof of the building in a position where the products of
combustion can discharge freely and will not present a fire hazard, whatever the wind conditions.
Fig 1
10
BENDS IN FLUES
Offsets in flues are only acceptable if the following rules are respected:
a) The chimney system shall have no more than 4 bends in total; - 2 bends in the chimney and 2
bends in the flue pipe connection.
b) The offset shall provide a change of direction no more than 45 degrees from the vertical.
c) The run of the chimney between bends shall not exceed 20% of the total chimney length.
d) The maximum length of the horizontal flue must not exceed 300mm, and it must be followed by a
vertical section of at least 2.5 meters in length, preferably insulated chimney components.
INSPECTION & CLEANING
Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry and free from cracks and obstructions. The
diameter of the chimney should not be less than 150mm. If any of these requirements are not met,
the chimney should be lined by a suitable method.
The chimney must be swept before connection to the fireplace. Where the chimney is believed to
have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature
from the fireplace may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent
risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within
a month of regular use after installation.
Assuming that when the fireplace is first installed, the chimney is clean, and sound, then the
chimney flue should be inspected part way through the burning season to establish the regularity
of sweeping required. If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your
local dealer/stockist.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
For Air Tight Houses: Any room or space containing a fireplace should have a permanent air vent
opening of at least the sizes shown in the table below. For fireplaces designed to burn “hardwood”
solid fuels, the air supply should be designed to accommodate burning the fuel that produces the
highest heating output.
FIREPLACE AIR SUPPLIES
Permanently open vents as below:
If design air permeability>5.0m3/(h.m2) then
Stove with no flue draught
550mm2/kW of appliance rated output above 5kW
stabilizer
If design air permeability<5.0m3/(h.m2) then
550mm2/kW for balance of appliance rated output
