Health And Safety Precautions - TermaTech TT30S Montage- Und Bedienungsanleitung

authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In
Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those
countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern
Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas
have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas
(other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secre-
tary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.

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.

PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS
IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the
stove to emit fumes into the room.
Chimney
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an
adequate draught of approximately 15 Pa so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent
smoke problems into the room.
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 pro-
visions 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 Ap-
proved 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 suita-
