A non-combustible register plate
minimum 1.5 mm thick should be fitted
to all installations between the flue and
the building structure. It’s suitability and
fit should be checked by a qualified
stove installation engineer against the
current Building Regulations.
Fig 10
There are several ways of connecting the stove to the flue as shown in Figures
6-9. If the vertical rear flue is used, the chimney may be swept through the
appliance. If it is not possible to pass the sweeps brush through the stove, a
soot door will be necessary. This may be either in the actual brickwork of the
chimney or fitted in the register plate. Various suitable positions of soot doors
are shown in Figures 6-9.
CLEANING THE FLUE
Access for cleaning the flue should be incorporated in the system other than
through the appliance (e.g. a soot door or access through a register plate).
Purpose-made soot doors and inspection lengths are available from the
Clarke range.
Ensure that the whole length of the flue can be reached from the soot door.
FUME EMISSIONS
To avoid chimney problems, your fire should not be burnt slowly for longer
than 12 hours without a period of fast burning.
Properly installed and operated, this stove will not emit fumes. Occasional
fumes from de-ashing and refuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission must
not be tolerated. If fume emission persists, the following immediate action
should be taken:-
1. Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
2. Let the fire out, or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the stove.
