As a guideline, materials that are in 'line of sight' to the stove are more likely to overheat

than materials that are not in 'line of sight' due to direct radiation from the stove body.

Materials above the stove are more likely to overheat than materials alongside or below.

A guideline limiting temperature for solid timber (not surface finishes) is approximately

80-85 degrees C with a normal ambient room temperature. Temperatures of

combustible materials can be substantially lowered with a simple heat shield

constructed of a non-combustible material and small air gap between the shield and

combustible material.

Distances from NON-combustible materials:

The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized non-combustible fireplace. To conform to

building regulations the fireplace recess walls should be at least 200mm thick or each

rear leaf at least 100mm thick in the case of a cavity wall at the rear. If these dimensions

are not met further protection for any combustible materials must be provided. The walls

of the fireplace recess and the hearth must be made of non-combustible material.

4.7 Hearths:

All FGi/FXi/FPi inset stoves require a 125mm thick non-combustible constructional

hearth beneath them to protect the building; this can include any solid non-combustible

floor. A non-combustible superimposed hearth forming an apron of at least 225mm at

the front of the stove and 150mm on either side must also be provided. The

superimposed hearth must not be less than 12mm thick and must have a clearly defined

edge (change of level) to discourage placing of any combustible materials on or partially

over it. Ensure the hearth is flat & level and the back panel and surround are at right

angles to the hearth.

The appliance shall be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. If the

existing construction does not meet this requirement, suitable measures (e.g. load

distributing plate) should be provided to achieve it.

4.8 Commissioning and Handover

A CO detector must be fitted in the same room as the stove according to current

standards or codes of practice. Advise the customer of the importance of this device and

maintaining it.

Upon completion of the installation, allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement

and mortar to dry out. A small fire may then be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and

fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere.

Advise the customer not to run the stove at full output for 3 – 4 days. Explain that the

stoves can provide much more or less than their rated heat outputs depending upon

how they are burnt and fuels and fuel loads used. Warn the customer that using

excessive air (having the air controls open too wide for too long) can over-fire and

irreparably damage the stove. Damage caused by over firing is NOT covered by

any warranty.

On completion of the installation and commissioning, check all parts of the appliance are

correctly fitted and ensure that the operating instructions and operating tools (including

glove) for the stove are left with the customer. You must be sure to advise the customer

on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn

them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove.
