dations given in British Standards BS 8303, BE EN15287-1:2007 design, installation and commissioning of chimneys.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Special care must be taken when installing the stove to ensure 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 please
seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
Metal parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
CO Alarms
Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass 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.
Stove paint aerosols
Paint aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Be sure to allow aerosol spray
paints to dry and ventilate the room well before lighting the stove. The use of any aerosol around a lit stove is
dangerous and care must be taken when handling aerosols.
