Your stove will require a constant air supply, and should not be used at the same time and in the same
room/space as extractor fans or any device which may draw air supply away from the stove. The stove
should be installed on a level floor with adequate load bearing capacity.
Normally for most houses in the UK no extra ventilation is required when installing a stove rated at
5kW or less.
Note: The requirements regarding ventilation have been updated in the most recent version of the
Building Regulations and are now based on the air permeability of the house.
The stove is NOT suitable for installation in a shared flue system.
If installed in a standard type chimney, a register plate needs to be fitted inside the chimney.
When purchasing flue pipe, 6” diameter is required on the standard version. If you have a purchased
the SE / Defra version a 5” can be installed. The flue pipe must be fitted INSIDE the flue spigot, and
sealed with a generous amount of Fire Cement.
Access should be provided for cleaning the flue to ensure that the passageways for exhaust gases
remain free from obstruction.
