CSP 9768 01/2019 Short Penguin Chubby 5 Woody Hungry Penguin Fat Penguin High and Mighty Penguin 8 Chubby 8 Eighty Ate “88” Installation and Operating Manual www.chillipenguin.co.
Simple guide to your first fire We recommend the goldilocks and the three bears method; small fire, medium fire, hot fire.
Important - read before first fire To Set / Cure the paint The painted finish must be cured and set properly. We use a high temperature stove paint on all of our stoves. It is extremely important that the paint is cured properly the first time that you light the stove. This is done to ensure the paint finish will be able to withstand the high temperatures needed. Curing is done by following the three step process on the facing page.

Section 3 Installation instructions Page 17-28 17 www.chillipenguin.co.
3. Installation Instructions 3.a Warning All local and national regulations must be observed when installing the appliance. If installed incorrectly serious accidents can be caused. Building Regulation Document J must be referred to when installing this appliance. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the manufacturer’s instructions are complied with.
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland.
3.d Hearth A hearth is made up of 2 layers: a constructional hearth (base concrete layer) and a superimposed hearth (top decorative layer). In some circumstances a superimposed hearth is acceptable on its own. All of our stoves require a constructional hearth unless the stoves are either on a plinth or have a base heat shield fitted. (The Penguin 8 has not currently been tested for use with a base heat shield but it can go on a plinth).
3.f Clearance to Combustible Walls Diagram illustrating the minimum distances to combustible surfaces (i.e.
3.g Non Combustible Walls Diagrams illustrating the minimum distances to non combustible walls. (i.e. stone/brick) Rear Side MINIMUM DISTANCES TO NON COMBUSTIBLE WALLS Model Rear Sides Above All Models 50mm 100mm 150mm Rear wall thickness needs to be at least 200mm thick. These are minimum distances. NB. Flue pipe safe distances can be greater than the appliance, depending on type 3.
3.i Heat Shielding FREE STANDING STOVES, 5kW It is possible to reduce the distances to combustibles with an appropriate heat shield, (British Standard 8303). We manufacture several sizes of wall mounted heat shield made from 1.5 mm steel which maintain a 40 mm air gap. (This is greater that the minimum distance required by BS8303). They have an open top and bottom to allow for a flow of cool air between the heat shield and combustible material.

3.j Ventilation In order for the stove to operate correctly there needs to be sufficient combustion air. For stoves over 5kW a permanantly open air vent is required. For stoves of 5kW and under it may sometimes be required. In new build houses air vents are required for all sizes of stoves, this can apply to new extensions as well. This will depend on the air leakage (air permeability) of your property. Your HETAS installer should be able to guide you on your particular property.
3.l Rear Fluing The usual route for a flue is out of the collar on top of the stove. However the way some chimneys and fireplaces are set up, fluing out of the rear can be a better option. Our stoves fall into two groups as far as rear fluing, as follows. The oven models; the Hungry, the Fat, the High & Mighty and the Eighty Ate “88” have a removable blanking plate, so that a rear adaptor is not required, (a rear swept bend with soot trap or a 90° T and cap would be required).
3.n Direct Air Kit (non-room sealed only) All of our models have the option of a factory fitted direct air kit. There are a large number of criterias that need to be assessed prior to fitting and commissioning. Please refer to the HETAS Guidelines and Commissions Procedure (HETAS TN-0020).
3.p Chimney and Access for Sweeping Chimney / Flueway Must comply with all current building regulations. We recommend that all masonry chimneys are lined. Minimum Flue Height 4.

It has 2 components, a steel plate and a vermiculite brick, the brick should be underneath the steel plate. It is designed to be easily removable for the removal of soot.
4.c Warnings and Pre-lighting Checks Chilli penguin stoves will not be responsible for any damage caused to the stove due to either the incorrect installation of the stove or the incorrect use of the stove, including the use of the wrong fuels. We strongly recommend the use of a qualified and experienced installer. Please read through these warnings and information carefully prior to use.
WRONG FUEL Only burn seasoned wood or smokeless fuels suitable for closed appliances. DO NOT burn house coal or treat your stove as an incinerator for gereral rubbish. DO NOT use any liquid fuels. CHIMNEY FIRE In the event of a chimney fire, close all stove doors and air vents. Evacuate the house and phone the fire service.
4.e Principles of Combustion All fuels need the presence of oxygen to burn. The more oxygen a fire gets the hotter and faster it will burn. When, where and how air is introduced into a firebox of a stove will greatly influence the heat output, burning rate, fuel efficiency and impact on the environment. Different fuels burn in different ways and it is important to know the basics in order to operate your multi-fuel stove with confidence.
The secondary combustion air supply on your stove provides the air necessary for burning off the volatile gases. It is important to burn wood in complete loads, this will ensure all the wood in the load is at the same stage of combustion as much as possible. By doing this the firebox temperature will stay in the gas burning stage for longer making the stove more efficient and cleaner burning. It is not advised to try and keep a wood fire in overnight.
4.f Instructions for use with wood Making a fire - wood We recommend placing scrunched up paper or firelighters in the centre of the grate. Arrange kindling in a tepee shape around it. Light the paper or firelighter. Once the kindling is burning gradually increase the size of log until the fire is established. THE AIR CONTROLS To start Pull both controls out to the open position and swing the boost disc up (the RH knob will protrude approx 10mm further than the LH knob in the fully open position).
FUEL OVERLOADING The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess smoke. DE ASHING De-ashing is only required periodically as wood burns better on a bed of ash, wood burns better with a down-draught. SAFETY Always use the glove provided when opening the doors of the stove.
4.g Instructions for use with authorised smokeless fuels Making a fire – authorised smokeless fuel Solid fuels can be more difficult to light in a cold stove – especially when damp. We recommend placing scrunched up paper or firelighters in the centre of the grate. Arrange kindling in a tepee shape around it. Then arrange the smokeless fuel on and around the tepee shape. Light the paper or firelighter. Leave this to start glowing before adding more fuel.
DE-ASHING De-ashing is carried out by using a poker to make the ashes fall into the ash pan for safe removal. When burning solid fuel it is necessary to de-ash daily, this allows combustion air to flow up through the fuel. Solid fuel burns better with an up-draught. SAFETY Always use the glove provided when opening the doors of the stove. Your stove has not been designed to run with the door open, it should therefore be kept shut except when refuelling is carried out. 3.
Section 5 Maintenance Page 40-48 40
5. Maintenance 5.a Routine Checks and Cleaning AS REQUIRED Stove surface should be cleaned with a soft brush or lint free cloth when cold, some people use a vacuum cleaner attachment. Ash pan should be emptied daily when using smokeless fuel, if this is done while the stove is still warm, use glove and tool provided. Ensure hot ashes are disposed of safely. Glass cleaning should be done when cold.
5.b Painting your Stove or Stove Pipe If you are painting your vitreous flue to match the stove colour or touching up an area of your stove there are 3 steps. 1. Preparing the surface 2. Applying the paint 3. Curing or setting the paint The most critical step is surface preparation. The paint will adhere to the surface coat, if there is rust, it will fail. If the stove/flue has a coating that is peeling, blistering or chalking in any way, the topcoat will release in the same way.
• You can apply the second coat after 15 minutes. The paint will be touch dry in about 20 minutes. We recommend leaving it 4 hours before lighting the first fire, described above • If you are touching up a stove be aware that there are minute variations from batch to batch of paint so you may need to paint a whole surface to avoid these variations showing. eg if you are covering a mark on the top you may want to apply a coat to the whole top plate.
5.c Keeping your Stove Glass Clear To maintain clear glass there are 2 factors. 1. Correct and dry fuel (see section 4, Principles of combustion) 2. Correct use of air controls (see section 4, Making a fire - wood/solid fuel) As a general rule the hotter the fire the clearer the glass will be. If you have wet fuel the fire will struggle to reach high temperatures, an inefficient burn = blackening.
5.f Vermiculite Bricks The vermiculite bricks which line the fire chamber will need replacing over time, they are a perishable item. They are a pressed board, not a ceramic brick so they should be treated with care. They insulate the stove allowing it to burn more efficiently and protect the steel body from the heat of the stove. The amount of time they will last depends on stove usage, the fuel you burn and the care you take re-fuelling.
5.g To Remove the Throat Plate Diagram illustrating the location of the throat plate. Locating pin Throat plate (metal) Throat brick (vermiculite) Throat Plate Pin Location Teritary air channel LOCATING THE THROAT PLATE STEP 1 Take note of the position of the throat plate before removal, the correct position is important, it can move in transit, and it needs be be removed regularly for soot clearance. STEP 2 To remove it – slide it forward until the back drops down. Lift it off the pins.
5.h To Remove the Grate Take care when doing this as the new grate is heavy and it is possible to trap your fingers. Wear gloves if possible and do not rush the job. Please see our online video at: www.chillipenguin.co.uk/faqs/looking-after-your-penguin/vermiculite-fire-bricks/ STEP 1 Remove the ash pan, place one hand inside and push the grate upwards, lifting the grate into the diagonal position (left to right, not front to back).
5.i Trouble Shooting Problem Possible cause Remedial Action CANNOT GET FUEL TO STAY ALIGHT 1. Fuel is damp 1. Ensure fuel is dry 2. Fire has been smothered 2. Load smaller amounts of fuel at a time – be patient! 3. Insufficient air 3. Air boost disc has been closed before the fire has been established SMOKE ENTERS ROOM 1. Blocked flue way 1. Let the fire go out then drop the throat plate down and check for blockages. Sweep chimney 2. Damaged chimney 2. Get chimney inspected 3.
