cm above the ridge. If the chimney is placed at side walls, the top of the chimney should always be higher
than the ridge or the tallest point of the roof. Always be aware of any national and/or local regulations
applying to thatched roofs and the location of the chimneys.
The stove requires a draft of at least 12 Pa.
The chimney must have a minimum clearing of Ø 150 mm. The chimney must be provided with an
easily accessible cleaning door. The chimney and flue duct must be of flue class T400 and be CE marked.
Furthermore, it must have obtained the classification of G in soot fire testing. The required distance to
combustible material must be complied with in accordance with the brand label. Ask your HWAM retailer
for further information.
Connection to chimney
All the stoves have both rear and top smoke outlet that can be connected to an approved steel chimney on
top or directly out at the rear to a chimney.
Make sure that the chimney is tight and that no false draft is caused around neither the cover plate, in
connection with a covered smoke outlet, nor the cleanout door and pipe connections. Please note that
bent and/or horizontal smoke pipes will reduce the effect of the chimney draft.

• Steel chimney (9).
• Flue gas elbow (10). Fits into smoke flue socket.
• Brick-built jamb of flue (11).

• Wall rosette (13). Covers disruption to wall around pipe sleeve.
• Joint (14). Sealed with packing material.
• Smoke outlets (15) of the HWAM stove.
• Smoke flue regulating damper (16).
• Soot door (17).
Fitting the loose parts
Before the stove is installed, you must ensure that all loose parts are fitted correctly. Check that all insula-
tion plates of the combustion chamber have been properly placed, i.e. that the bottom plate is horizontal
and that the side plates are vertical and reach all the way up to the steel sides of the combustion chamber
and down to the bottom plate.

• The smoke shelf (5). To be placed on top of the steel rail and on the holders in the sides
• Two-piece smoke defector plate (6). Each half is hung on the hooks located beneath the top plate. The two
halves join in the holders (7a) behind the air pipe. Once the stove has been installed, remove the safety
fittings for transportation (7b) from the two hooks
• Rear plate (2a), covering HWAM

Chimney
The chimney is the “engine” of the stove and it is crucial for the functioning of the woodburning stove.
The chimney draft provides a partial vacuum in the stove. This vacuum removes the smoke from the stove,
sucks air through the dampers for the so-called glass pane rinse which keeps the glass free of soot, and
sucks in air through both primary and secondary dampers for the combustion.
