Flue Arrangement
The GAS SAFE REGISTERED ENGINEER commissioned to install this
appliance is wholly responsible for deciding the suitability of any flue
arrangement to operate in conjunction with this gas appliance.
The chimney or flue system that is to be fitted to the Verona gas stove must
comply with the current rules in force.
(The Verona range of stoves is also suitable for other specific class 2
installation arrangements: pre-cast flues, ridge-vent flues and pre-cast
chimney block and with the relevant adaption, the appliance will operate in a
closure plate type system.)
It is suggested to run flue pipe at least 615mm vertically from the unit before
there are any changes in direction of the flue system. Wherever possible
horizontal runs of the flue system should be avoided.
The flue must have a minimum of 2.6 meters of vertical height measured
from the top of the stove to the bottom of the terminal outlet. Please note for
rear flue appliances it is recommended that the vertical flue run be established
as soon as is practical from the rear flue exit. (Caution should be taken
locating the exit of the flue as explained in ‘The Building Regulations -
Document J’.)
Before commencing any installation work the installing engineer must check
that the flue is free from all blockages, the chimney should be given a
precautionary clean, and finally the chimney should be smoke tested to
ensure soundness. Additionally any flue dampers must be permanently fixed
open or removed altogether.
Additional Air Venting (GB Only)
The supply gas heat input into the appliance is nominally less that 7kw,
therefore under the directives of the current gas safety and use regulations
(1995) no additional air vents are required in the room the appliance is
situated.
Removing the Stove Body
First completely remove the 2 securing
bolts that are located behind the valve
cover plate by using a 10mm spanner,
as shown in Diagram 3. Make sure
that the 2 rear fixings (Diagram 18 –
Page 16) are loose.
