Installation & Use
The Atlas 1 is designed to be flexible for many UK homes. It can be installed on a 12 mm decorative hearth (removing the need for a bulky traditional hearth), making it ideal for modern interiors where aesthetics and minimal footprint matter.
For the cleanest burn and best performance:
-
Use seasoned or kiln-dried hardwood logs (low moisture) — this gives better heat output and reduces soot buildup.
-
Ensure a qualified, HETAS-registered installer completes the installation to meet UK regulations and to secure any warranty.
-
Regular sweeping of your chimney/flue is recommended — typically twice a year for wood-burning stoves.
