Flue duct

The following requirements apply for the flue duct:

  • The flue duct must be inspected by a specialist beforehand.
  • The flue duct must be suitable for a woodburning appliance.
  • The fire must be connected to a single, one-piece flue duct.
  • The flue duct must be clean and leakproof.
  • For the flue duct use material that at least suffices with regard to EN 1856-1 T450.
  • For the fire pipe use material that at least suffices with regard to EN 1856-2 T600.
  • The offset in the flue duct may be a maximum of 1.5 metres with a maximum angle of 45 degrees from the horizontal plane, providing the chimney draught is not too weak.
  • With a rear fire connection the horizontal part of the flue duct may be a maximum of 500 mm.
  • With a rear fire connection to a vertical flue duct a T-piece with soot bag must be used.
  • The diameter of the flue duct must be at least equal to the diameter of the flue gas discharge pipe from the fire.
  • The flue duct draught must be at least 12 Pascal.
  • Fit a flue ventilator if the draught is too weak or if mechanical ventilation in the home causes underpressure in the installation space.
  • A flue gas regulator must be used in a duct with a (too) strong draught (30 – 40 Pa). The draught can then be controlled. Your appliance can be fitted with a “restrictor cap” to slow any strong draughts (if applicable see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).
  • When fitting a flexible pipe always use a double-walled stainless steel design with a “smooth” interior.
  • A rain cap must be fitted on top of the flue duct to limit rusting and damage to the interior lining of the fire due to moisture.
  • The flue duct must be self-supporting and may not rest on the fire

Convection

When installing an appliance in a hollow chimney breast, it is necessary to create convection openings. If applicable, open the convection openings on the appliance, as described in chapter 9 ‘Appliance specific information’. If there are no convection openings on the appliance, you must create the required chimney breast aeration and de-aeration yourself. For this, you should assume a minimum chimney breast de-aeration of 200 cm2 (at the top side) and a minimum aeration of 200 cm2 (at the bottom side). Place the de- aeration at the top side at least 30 cm below the ceiling and at least 180 cm above the floor.

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”.

Country-specific installation requirements

Install the appliance according to the applicable European, national, local and construction (installation) regulations.
In the Netherlands this includes the Building Decree.

HETAS amendments
For supplementary information for the verification of Ecodesign Compliance under the HETAS product approval scheme see appendix 3 if applicable.

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.

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.

Note
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 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 the chimney but is not suitable for use as the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting fluepipe must have a minimum diameter and its dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove (see Annex 1, table 2).
Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends should not be used.
Combustible material 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.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser should be fitted. Fitting of a draught stabiliser will affect the requirement for the permanent air supply into the room in which the stove is fitted in accordance with Approved Document J (see also combustion air supply).

Commissioning and handover

Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under fire check all seals for soundness and check that the flue is functioning correctly and that all products of combustion are vented safely to atmosphere via the chimney terminal. On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance and warn them to use only the recommended fuel for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be warned to use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

Warning note on fume emission

Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken:
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.

Extractor fan

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit smoke and fumes into the room.

Permanent air vent

The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.

Chimney cleaning

The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney will require sweeping after a month of continuous operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any “softer” deposits left from the open fire usage have not been loosened by the higher flue temperatures generated by the closed stove.

Periods of Prolonged Non-Use

If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.

Use of fireguard

When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539).

CO Alarm

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.

Use of operating tools

Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use.

Aerosol sprays

Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.

The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas

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.

Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision
of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements.

Additional Operational Information:

Refuelling on to a low fire bed

If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.

Fuel overloading

The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess smoke.

Operation with door left open

Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.

Dampers left open

Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the instructions.

Exempt appliances

Exempt appliances are appliances (ovens, wood burners and stoves) which have been exempted under the Clean Air Act 1993 or Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981.
Appliances which are exempt for use in Smoke Control Areas: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/appliances.php

Outside air connection (if applicable)

Some fires can be provided with an outside air connection. For an optimum operation of the appliance, the following should be taken into account in case of an outside air connection:

  • The passage of the outside air connection and possibly the passage of a grate may not be smaller than the passage of the outside air connection on the fire.
  • Make sure the maximum underpressure created in the combustion air supply pipe is 4 pascal. If a higher underpressure is created, the fire will not function properly and (hot) flue gases may flow back into the supply pipe.
  • Prevent placing the outside air supply in an underpressure area on the outside of the house. If possible, place a supply pipe with T piece to 2 sides of the house.
  • The combustion air supply pipe may not be placed higher than the bottom of the fire. This will prevent flue gases from flowing back.
  • The combustion air pipe that is connected to the fire should be made of non combustible material.
  • The fire will function properly with a flexible pipe with a maximum length of 11 metres and 4 bends. In case of a longer pipe or more bends, we recommend placing a pipe with a larger diameter (100-125mm).
  • If a crawl space is properly aerated with open grates, it is allowed to retrieve combustion air from there. If there is no proper aeration in the crawl space, it is possible that harmful radon gases are drawn in. This is not allowed according to national regulations.

Further information on the outside air connection, if applicable, can be found in section 9 ‘Appliance specific information’.

Please note that HETAS product approval remains valid for the appliance only when installed with its air supply taken from the room of installation and the room is ventilated permanently to outside air as necessary in accordance with the guidelines given in Approved Document J. HETAS product approval is not valid for appliances fitted with an external air supply ducted directly to the appliance.

Installing the fire, general

Caution

  • Do not make any changes to the fire yourself.
  • Use clean fabric gloves and avoid fingerprints on the fire and flue pipes.
  • Depending on the type of suspension, install the fire on a floor, against a wall or on a ceiling with sufficient load bearing capacity.
  • Lay a fire-resistant floor plate if the floor is combustible. The floor plate in non-combustible material must extend at least 300 mm away from the fire and be at least 300 mm wider than the fire. Check these distances before installation on the basis of applicable national/local laws.

Tip!
A floor plate offers protection against smouldering ash and prevents the soiling of a marble or flagstone floor, for example. We therefore also advise using a fire-resistant floor plate when installing appliances on a wall or ceiling.

  • Use the fire’s dimensional sketch to see which fire pipe diameter you need (see Annex 1, table 2).

  • Use a fire pipe that at least meets the requirements of standards as established in EN 1856-2 T600.

  • Install the flue pipes in such a way that a fire hazard can never originate.

  • When installing a free-standing fire take account of the minimum required distance from the fire to a non-combustible wall. This distance amounts to 50 mm.

  • When installing the fire and/or flue pipes respect the minimum distance to combustible objects and materials as shown in Annex 1, table 2.

  • Take adequate measures to avoid too high temperatures in any walls behind the chimney breast.
    This also applies for materials and/or objects behind the wall.

  • Respect the flue duct requirements as described in paragraph. 5.2.
    For any appliance-specific instructions we refer to section 9 ‘Appliance specific information’.

CAUTION
If you are installing a built-in appliance take account of:
The minimum building-in dimensions according to Annex 1, Table 2.

Free-standing/design fires

Conversion from fire top connection to rear connection (if applicable).

The fire is supplied with a top connection for connecting the flue duct.
The top connection can be converted to a rear connection.

To do this proceed as follows (see Annex 2, Fig. 2):

  • Take the flame baffle plate or baffle plates out of the fireplace (if applicable see section 9, ‘Appliance-specific information’).
  • Your appliance can be provided with an extra steel restrictor cap (if applicable see section 9, ‘Appliance-specific information’). Remove this by sliding the restrictor cap forwards and taking it out of the rails. This restrictor cap is not replaced with a rear connection.
  • Remove the fire’s convection back plate by undoing the bolts.
  • Remove the push-through plate from the convection back plate.
  • Remove the cover plate for the flue from the back wall of the fire by undoing the 2 or 3 nuts.
  • Remove the flue ring from the top plate by undoing the nuts and/or bolts.
  • Fit the flue ring on the back wall using the bolts and/or nuts.
  • Fasten the convection back plate again with the bolts.
  • Assemble the cover plate for the flue in the opening in the top plate using the nuts.
  • Replace the flame baffle plate or baffle plates in the reverse order.

Installing a free-standing fire, general

A free-standing fire is installed as follows:

  • Determine the fire location. The dimensions of the appliance are given in Annex 1, Table 2.
  • For any appliance-specific instructions we refer to section 9 ‘Appliance specific information’.
  • Make sure there are no combustible materials present.
  • Lay the floor plate if applicable.
  • Place the fire on a blanket or sheet of cardboard (to avoid damaging the floor) then put it in the desired place.

  • Lift the fire a little if necessary so the blanket or cardboard can be removed.
  • For completing installation we refer to paragraph 5.8.

Design fire installation

To install a design fire we refer to Section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’.

Insert fires (existing and new situation)

With an existing chimney or chimney breast

To install an insert fire with an existing chimney or chimney breast proceed as follows:

  • Determine the fire location. The dimensions of the appliance are given in Annex 1, Table 2.

  • Leave a space of at least 10 mm between the fire and construction materials.

  • Check the size of the recess. If necessary the walls of the open hearth can be broken out a little. Make sure that the chimney top is still sufficiently supported.

  • If applicable make room for the connection of the convection openings (if applicable see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’) and section 5.3 ‘Convection’)) with a flexible aluminium pipe and ventilation elements (see section 5.4 ‘Appliances with fan(s)’. These accessories can be ordered from your supplier.

  • Be careful with the chimney breast plaster. Plaster beading makes the recess smaller.

  • Remove any existing valve from the open hearth or slide and clean the chimney top so all soot is removed.

  • Remove the fire door and disassemble the frame when it is supplied separately (see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).

  • Carefully remove the inner lining plates (mark them), the baffle plate and (if present) the restrictor cap from the fire (if applicable see, section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).

  • Lay any bottom plate supplied where the fire is to be installed.

  • Turn the adjustable legs in with the hexagonal socket screwdriver supplied and check whether they are properly adjustable. There may still be some blasting grit present.

  • Make sure there is sufficient room under fire for the supply of combustion air when there is no outside air connection.

  • An outside air connection can be made (if applicable see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).

  • Carefully slide the fire into the hole. Make sure that no damage is caused.

  • If applicable connect the convection opening ( see section 5.3 ‘Convection’) with the flexible aluminium pipe and ventilation elements (see section 5.4 ‘Appliances with fan(s))’.

  • The fire may never support the flue.

  • Make a good, airtight seal between the fire and the flue, possibly with a register plate and preferably with a fixed fire pipe or stainless steel double-walled flexible pipe that at least suffices with regard to standard EN 1856-2 T600.

  • If applicable, and depending on national regulations, the connection between the existing flue duct and the fire may be plugged with heat-resistant ceramic wool Proceed as follows:

  • Check whether the open hearth valve has been removed.

  • Remove the frame (if the frame is already fitted).

  • Remove the bottom plates and turn the fire as far as possible downwards with the adjustable legs to make space for the ceramic wool.

  • Fill any space behind the fire with fire-resistant insulation material so no dirt can get in.

  • Remove the flame baffle plate.

  • Apply the ceramic wool between the top side of the fire and the chimney for an airtight connection.

  • Turn the fire up again with the adjustable legs and check whether the ceramic wool seals properly.

  • Replace the flame baffle plate (see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).
    !Caution After the chimney has been swept always check that the connection is still airtight.

  • A handy kit is available through your supplier for the direct connection of a stainless steel flexible pipe to the fire.
    The use of a kit is, however, not required for all appliances (if applicable see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).

  • After the fire has been connected turn the adjustable legs with the Allen key supplied until the fire is in the desired position. Make sure that the combustion air supply is not blocked.

  • Replace the restrictor cap for the outflow, fit the inner lining plates in reverse order and place the baffle plate against the back wall and on the profiles (if applicable see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).

  • Use a torch or a thin screwdriver to check that the secondary ventilation holes in the back wall are directly facing the recesses in the interior lining.

  • If applicable replace the frame around the fire (if applicable see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).

In a new situation

To install an insert fire with a newly built chimney breast proceed as follows:

  • Determine the fire location. The dimensions are given in Annex 1, Table 2.

  • Place the fire on a floor with a sufficient load bearing capacity.

  • If applicable make a recess for an outside air connection (if applicable see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).

  • Use non-combustible and heat-resistant material according to European fire classification A1 EN 13501-1 for the plate on the floor, chimney breast (including the upper face), the material in the chimney breast and the back wall against which the appliance is fitted. Plate material or stony materials can be used for this.

  • Leave a space of at least 10 mm between the fire and construction materials.

  • Be careful with the chimney breast plaster. Plaster beading makes the recess smaller.

  • Take account of the expansion of the fire. Keep the fire free of plasterwork.

  • If there is a combustible ceiling, place a fire-resistant plate with a 10 cm thick heat-insulating layer on top 30 cm below the ceiling in the chimney breast.

  • If are there combustible materials (e.g. wooden floor parts/beams etc.) below or behind the fire, sufficient non-combustible insulation material according to European fire classification A1 EN 13501-1 must be applied.
    Comply with national regulations here.

  • If there is a combustible wall build a 10 cm-thick fire-safe wall.

  • Build the base or elevation with heat resistant material.

  • Place the steel plate supplied in the place for the fire. If applicable make a recess in it for the outside air connection. Remove the fire door and disassemble the frame when it is supplied separately.

  • Remove the fire door and disassemble the frame when it is supplied separately (see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).

  • Install the fire.

  • Determine the place of the fire.

  • Slide the build-in frame into the desired position.

  • Use non-combustible and heat-resistant material according to European fire classification A1 EN 13501-1 for the plate on the floor, chimney breast (including the upper face), the material in the chimney breast and the back wall against which the appliance is fitted. Plate material or stony materials can be used for this.

  • If there is a combustible ceiling, place a fire-resistant plate with a 10 cm thick heat-insulating layer on top 30 cm below the ceiling in the chimney breast.

  • Place the fire level at the desired height and fix it with metal anchors.

  • Connect the flue duct to the fire ring.

  • Always connect any convection openings (see section 5.3 ‘Convection’) with heat-resistant flexible pipe and ventilation elements (see section 5.4 ‘Appliances wit fan(s)) to protect the plasterwork against high temperatures.
    If the chimney breast is made of non-combustible materials (e.g. facing brickwork) this is not required.

  • Make sure there is sufficient space under the fire for the supply of combustion air. When the outside air connection ring is not used, it must remain at least 20 mm free for sufficient combustion air.

  • If applicable connect the outside air connection (see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’).

  • The fire is not suitable to support a flue duct, it must be self-supporting.

  • Stony materials may absolutely not rest on the fire. For this use e.g. a brick lintel with ceramic felt.

  • Make sure that the opening in the chimney breast is 6 mm wider than the built-in frame.

  • The chimney breast may not be warmer than 90 degrees Celsius on the outside.

  • Lay a fire-resistant floor plate for the fire if the floor is combustible. The floor plate in non-combustible material must extend at least 300 mm away from the fire and be at least 300 mm wider than the fire.

Completing installation

  • Check if grit, dust or other materials are left behind in the chimney breast (odours).
  • Use clean fabric gloves and avoid fingerprints on the fire and flue pipes.
  • Check whether the interior lining and the baffle plates are fitted properly in the fire (if applicable see section 9 ‘Appliance-specific information’). Correct the position of these plates if necessary.
  • Check whether the holes of the secondary ventilation in the back plate are immediately facing the recesses in the interior lining.
  • Clean the fire with a soft cloth and check it for damage. The fire can be sprayed with the spray can supplied.
    Before doing this read the instructions for use on the label. Always first check the colour on a piece of white paper or cardboard before you treat the fire.
    First carefully read the user manual before starting to use the fire. We refer to the user manual for lighting and burning the fire.

Delivery and maintenance

  • You must make the user familiar with the fire. Among other things you must instruct her/him about bringing the fire into use and its burning and maintenance.
  • When bringing into use point out that
    • after rebuilding or new building all building materials must have thoroughly dried out to avoid dust (including smoke particles) adhering to damp surfaces;
    • the first time of burning volatile components will evaporate from paint, materials etc.;
    • the space must then be well ventilated.
  • Point out the necessity to have the flue duct inspected and cleaned at least once a year by a specialist.
  • Give the user the user manual and installation manual (the installation manual must be kept with the appliance).

The user manual includes a number of tips/instructions for maintenance of the fire. It also mentions how a number of parts can be replaced.
