INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Because each installation is unique to the property, it is not possible to give full details to suit every setting. However, the installation should comply with the requirements of the Building Regulations and be made using "best practice" construction methods.
Remember that many fireplace openings will have a supporting lintel. Do not remove this without making provision to support the remaining structure of the building. The stove must not form any part of the supporting structure or support the full flue system.
