Introduction May we take this opportunity to thank you for choosing one of our cast iron, multifuel stoves. The term multifuel refers to the fact that the appliance is capable of burning either wood logs or coal (that is suitable for closed appliances). Both of these fuels have very different air requirements in order for them to burn correctly, therefore the air controls need to be operated differently depending on the fuel being burned (see section “Stove Operation”).
Health & Safety Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act are met. Installation This appliance MUST be installed and commissioned by a HETAS registered installer in England and Wales and a fully qualified Heating Engineer in Scotland and Ireland. Handling Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Specifications In the UK these stoves have been tested and approved to EN13240 as an intermittent heating appliance for burning manufactured or naturally occurring smokeless coal and wood logs only.
Dimensions All dimensions are in millimetes JUL13GB Issue 1 6
Hearth Requirements & Clearances These appliances WILL require a full constructional hearth as laid out in building regulations approved document J. Your stove must be installed on a solid, level non-combustible hearth. The hearth protrusion in front of the stove to carpets or wooden floors must be at least 300mm. As it is possible, that on opening the door of the stove for fuel to fall out, a fender must be fitted if the hearth is flush with the carpet. These are just a few hearth specifications.
Chimney Requirements This appliance must not be fitted into a chimney serving another heating appliance. It is most important that there is no obstruction in the flue or chimney. Please ensure that any existing chimney is clear of obstruction and swept clean immediately before installation of the new stove. If the chimney has been used for an open fire it is recommended that it be swept for a second time having been used for a month following installation.
Chimney Requirements JUL13GB Issue 1 9
Combustion Air Requirements In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary in modern houses where drafts have been almost eliminated by double glazing etc. Under UK building regulations any appliance over 5kW MUST have a fixed permanent air vent.
Assembly The diagram below shows the main components of the stove and how it can be broken down for transport purposes. s from 6 down to 1.
Plumbing Advice Boiler installations should only be carried out by qualified heating engineers who hold a HETAS wet systems certificate or equivalent. A site survey prior to commencing installation is highly recommended to identify any potential problem areas. The stove is fitted with four 1” female pipe connections as shown below. It is important to note that the boiler on this appliance is one singular open vessel so it is perfectly possible to only use two connections (and cap the others off).
Plumbing Advice Open Vented Plumbing It is critical that this appliance is only connected to open vented systems, which must include a gravity circuit with an expansion tank open to the atmosphere. When installing this appliance on a gravity circuit, the system should consist of a tank/indirect cylinder fixed in an upright position and should be connected to the boiler by 28mm pipe (both flow and return). The pipes should not exceed 7.8m in length.

Controls Layout The stove is fitted with a number of controls which need to be correctly operated in order to light and maintain a fire.
Controls Explained Primary Air Intakes The primary air intakes are located at the bottom of each door, they are in the form of spinners. Having the spinners turned fully anti-clockwise indicates the intake is fully open (and fully clockwise means it is fully closed). This particular air intake is adjustable throughout its travel to control the total amount of air entering below the grate for combustion. The primary air intake is used on initial firing of the stove or when burning coal etc.
Recommended Fuels This appliance has obtained CE EN13240 approval for burning – * HETAS approved coal suitable for a closed appliance. * Split Wood logs not exceeding 35cms in length and not over 20% moisture content. Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the suitable fuels listed above. Although approval covers the use of the smokeless fuels listed, the claimed rated output, has been obtained burning a single representative smokeless fuel, under standard test conditions.
Lighting the Stove Curing On initial firing you will notice a very pungent odour, this is caused through the curing of the paint, we recommend starting with short burning sessions (with smaller quantities of fuel) and build up gradually to allow the components of the stove to settle. Opening doors and windows will allow the paint curing odour to dissipate and to allow ventilation into the room. Curing times can vary but typically should take around 8-12 hours (operation at high output) to complete.
Burning Wood With kindling complete you are now ready to add your wood logs. Stage 4 Place 3-5 small logs onto the bed of hot embers using the gloves provided, close the door and reduce the primary air intakes (turn spinners clockwise) to approximately half way. Once the logs turn black the primary air intakes can be fully closed. Stage 5 Once the smaller logs have burned down you can now add 2-3 larger (or full size) logs and close down the Secondary Air Intake as required.
Warning Notes Over-Firing It is extremely important that you do NOT leave all of the air controls in the fully open position for extended periods or run the appliance with the door open. Leaving the air controls fully open (or running with the doors open) will lead to “over-firing”. Over-firing is caused when too much heat is generated within the fire chamber, this will lead to warping, buckling and general damage to the stove and its internal components.
Maintainance Ash Removal The ash pans can be removed by using the ash tool to hook it forward so that you can grasp the pan using the gloves provided. We would recommend emptying the ash into a metal bucket for transportation. You should only empty the ash when the appliance and ashes are completely cool and can be disposed of in your normal household refuse.
Trouble-shooting Smoke comes out of the stove when the loading door is opened. D D D D The chimney cavity into which the 150mm flue pipe has been installed may be less than the minimum requirement. Deposits (soot or other obstructions) may have built up in the chimney and be restricting the flow of waste products. This flow rate is known as the ‘draw’. Insufficient draw, this is especially common during milder weather.

Warranty This appliance must be installed and commissioned by a fully qualified, registered engineer. A “Declaration of completion Certificate” must be obtained for the installation and retained by the end user. Failure to comply with these requirements may void your warranty. You, as the end user, have a contract by law with the supplier / dealer from whom you purchased the product. That dealer then has the same contract with the manufacturer or wholesaler and these have a contract with their suppliers.
