SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCKTIONS UK
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS CARE-
FULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles to en-
sure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit
particular local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Bye-
laws 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 rele-
vant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007 as an alterna-
tive 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.
CO Alarms:
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/bio-
mass 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.
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the aut-
hority 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).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to
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.
The TermaTech TT22 has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when
burning wood logs and when fitted with a smoke control kit to fix the primary air control at
250mm2 and secondary air control at 440mm2 in their minimum position
