GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Note : All local regulations, including those
referring to National standards need to be
complied with, when installing the appliance.
Any Manufacturer’s Instructions must not
be taken as overriding statutory
requirements.
Before any installation work is undertaken
consideration must be given to the Health
and Safety . Safe working practices should
be followed at all times.
During installation ensure that adequate
precautions are taken to avoid unnecessary risk to
yourself or any householder. In particular the
danger from caustic nature of the fire cement
should be avoided by using these accepted
methods :
• Wear gloves when handling fire cement
• Wear goggles when chiselling or looking up
chimneys.
Make sure that Building Regulations are adhered
to during installation along with any local by-laws.
In the case of heating systems make sure that the
pipe work is correctly bonded to ensure electrical
earth continuity.
ASBESTOS
All Arada stoves contain no asbestos in their man-
ufacture or construction. If there is a possibility of
disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation, then please seek specialist guidance
and use appropriate protective equipment.
HANDLING
The safe handling guidelines are set out on page 5
of this manual, to make movement easier, internal
fittings, fuel retainers, grates, firebox liners, flue
outlets, hot plates, throat plates etc, can be
removed. Care should be taken to make sure that
the hinges are not damaged during installation.
HEARTH
The stove shall be installed on a floor with
adequate load bearing capacity. If the existing
construction does not meet this prerequisite,
suitable measures (e.g.: load distributing plate)
should be taken to achieve it.
Ideally, the appliance should stand on a
constructional hearth of non-combustible
materials not less than 125mm (5”) thick
conforming to Building Regulations.
Dimensions of the hearth should project at least
458mm (18”) forward of the front of the appliance
and 203mm (8”) at the sides.
The surface of the hearth should be free of
combustible materials. In most buildings with solid
concrete or stone floors, the requirement will be
met by the floor itself, but mark the hearth to
ensure floor coverings are kept well away or use
different levels to mark the hearth perimeter.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Please view the technical data (See page 9) and
observe the minimum distance to combustible
materials, which is applicable to your stove model.
Ideally, adjacent walls should be of suitable non
combustible construction, preferably brickwork. In
large fireplaces take care that any supporting
beam is protected by a 13mm (0.5”) sheet of
Fire proof board spaced 13mm (0.5”) off the sur-
face with strips of non combustible material. Make
sure that there is a gap between an
un-insulated flue system and any combustible
material. This gap must be at least 3X the outside
diameter of the flue pipe, or 1.5X the flue diameter
to non combustible surfaces.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
There must always be a permanent means of
providing air for combustion into the room in which
the stove is installed. Failure to provide an
adequate air supply can result in the stove
smoking back into the room and poor draw on the
chimney. A permanent vent with a total free area of
at least 550mm² for every KW rated above 5KW
should be connected directly to the outside air or to
an adjacent room which itself has a permanent
vent of the same size direct to the outside air. The
positioning of any air vent must be so that it cannot
be liable to blockage or
obstruction. Please note : The fitting of an
extractor fan to either of these rooms is not
recommended.
