Fig.4 Fig.3 2300 600 Ash Tray & Legs Assembly FLUES Flues should be vertical wherever possible and where a bend is necessary, it should not make an angle of more than 45o with the vertical. Horizontal flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a back outlet from the appliance, when the length of the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm. Appliance In order to minimise flue resistance and to make sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45o bends rather than a 90o bend.
TOP FLUE EXIT CHIMNEY When connecting to a flue pipe it is necessary to provide an access door in the pipe for flue and chimney cleaning. It is not possible to clean the chimney through the stove. Take the flue spigot and before fitting it to the stove place a small amount of fire cement on the inside flange of the outlet and push the flue spigot into place making sure the spigot is properly sealed to the stove.
LOCATION Fig.8 There are several conditions to be considered in selecting a location for your stove. a. Position in the area to be heated- central locations are usually best. 318mm (121/2) b. Allowances for proper clearances to combustibles.

IMPORTANT NOTES Now that your Solid Fuel Stove is installed and no doubt you are looking forward to many comforts it will provide, we would like to give you some tips on how to get the best results from your stove. 1. We would like if you could take some time to read the operating instructions/hints, which we are confident, will be of great benefit to you. 2. Do not burn fuel with a high moisture content, such as a damp or unseasoned timber.
LIGHTING Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks described in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stove’s commissioning and handover the installer should have demonstrated how to operate correctly. Fig.13 1.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Fig.14 WOOD BURNING GRATE The standard grate in this appliance consisting of three moving firebars is suitable for burning all fuels but more suited to burning solid mineral fuel (coal). A flat grate with holes is provided to burn wood only. Do not use this plate to burn solid mineral fuels as it will overheat and damage will be caused. If this appliance is used to burn wood only, insert the wood burning grate on top of the standard grate.
