3.1.8 OVERFIRING WARNING

It is possible to over fire a stove by using too much air – having the air controls open too

wide - during the combustion cycle. This will cause overheating and potential damage to

parts such as the grate, baffle plates, firebox liners and fuel retainers. IF ANY METAL

PART OF THE STOVE GLOWS RED, INCLUDING THE BAFFLE PLATE OR FUEL

RETAINER, IMMEDIATELY REDUCE THE AIR CONTROL SETTINGS UNTIL THE

OVERHEATED PARTS OF THE STOVE COOL AGAIN. Failure to do so will damage

the stove and invalidate any warranty. Parts damaged by overheating, thermal

cracking or even melting are NOT covered by any warranty.

Health And Safety Precautions

Special care must be taken when installing this stove to meet all requirements of

the Health & Safety at Work act.

3.1.9 Handling

Adequate facilities must be available for unloading and site handling. Fireline Stoves are

very heavily built so always ask for assistance when lifting and siting the stoves.

3.1.10 Fire Cement

Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact

with the skin. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.

3.1.11 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.

3.1.12 Metal Parts

When installing or servicing this stove, proper care should be taken to avoid the

possibility of personal injury.

4.0 Installation Information

4.1 Chimney

The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to Building

Regulations. Minimum chimney height is 4.5m. Check that the chimney is in good

condition, dry, free from cracks and obstructions. The diameter of the flue should not be

less than 150mm and not more than 200mm. 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 stove.

Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is

possible that the higher flue gas temperature from the stove 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.

If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local

dealer/stockist or chimney specialist. If there is no existing chimney then either a solid

fuel compatible prefabricated block chimney or a twin-walled insulated stainless steel

flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions and Building Regulations.
