Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Chilli Penguin Stove. You have purchased a high quality eco design stove that has been built to last. It has been designed and manufactured in the UK with a cleanburn system to ensure a clean and efficient performance. We put a lot of time and energy into developing and improving our stoves to enable them to run as efficiently as possible and be simple to use.
Eco series summary This manual is for the following eco design stoves. Multi Fuel This is a non catalytic converter version and is suitable for both dry wood and smokeless fuel. The low emissions and high efficiencies are achieved by carefully designed flue and combustion air passageways. The advantage of this version is that it offers the option of using either dry wood or smokeless fuel.
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 surface must be cured or set properly during your first fire. 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.
The charter of the penguin We guarantee that your stove is good quality and well made We guarantee that your stove will give you years of warm and efficient heating We know this because we design and make them ourselves here in Wales We are convinced that stoves make the autumn fabulous and the winter sublime We hope that your stove will make the bad days bearable and the good days great We think that human beings with stoves are happier than those without We believe that your life has just got better Page

Section 3 Installation instructions Page 21-32 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. A HETAS qualified installation engineer should carry out the installation and issue a compliance certificate.
3.c Smoke Control Areas and Exemption of Appliances Chilli Penguin Eco design stoves are classed as exempt stoves which means you can use them in smoke control areas. If you live in a smoke control area (introduced by The Clean Air Act, 1993, see below) you are permitted to burn approved smokeless fuel only, this does not include wood. However if you use an Exempt multi fuel stove then you can burn both seasoned wood and approved smokeless fuels. NEVER BURN HOUSE COAL in a closed appliance like a stove.
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. All models without base heat shield or plinth Constructional total depth (incl.

These are minimum distances. NB. Flue pipe safe distances can be greater than the appliance, depending on type 3.
3.i CO Alarms Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/ biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s instructions.

3.l Ventilation It is essential that the fire has adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation. Apertures provided for this purpose shall not be restricted. For stoves of 5kW and under like the Woody a permanently open air vent 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.
3.n 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. The Short, Chubby 5 and both the Woody models would need a rear adaptor, either vertical or horizontal. The other models; the Hungry Penguin, Fat Penguin, High and Mighty do not need the chilli rear adaptors, they have a removable blanking plate suitable for a rear swept bend with soot trap or 90° “T” and cop. 3.
3.p 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).

4.d 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. PROTECTING THE STOVE SURFACE Your stove has been painted using a high temperature paint, this will give a long lasting and durable finish after the paint has cured.
WRONG FUEL Only burn dry, seasoned wood in the Woody Cat. In the Multi Fuel stoves, dry, seasoned wood or smokeless fuel can be used. DO NOT 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.f 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 stove with confidence.
If you are looking for a local wood supplier www.woodsure.co.uk has a list of certified fuel suppliers. 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. We do not advise you to try and keep a wood fire in overnight.
4.g 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. Only burn seasoned wood. Damp, impregnated or painted wood will damage the catalytic converter and tar up your flue. Damp wood will also give reduced heat to room and cause more emissions.
REFUELLING Wood will burn most efficiently when burnt in complete loads – let the fire burn down to a bed of glowing embers before refuelling the fire box with new logs. Open both controls fully again to get the new fuel burning – once alight re-adjust contols to the desired position. WARNINGS Refuelling on to a low fire bed (not much fuel glowing) If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new load of fuel, excessive smoke emission can occur.
4.h Instructions for use with Authorised smokeless fuels MAKING A FIRE 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. It is easy to smother the fire by adding too much fuel too soon.
REFUELLING Before refuelling open primary knob (LH) fully for a few minutes before adding new fuel – do not put too much on at once as you may smother the fire. WARNINGS Refuelling on to a low fire bed (not much fuel glowing) If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new load of fuel, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out on to a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash so that the new fuel load will ignite in a reasonable period.
4.i Cooking on a Penguin ALL MODELS: The top surface of all of our stoves (the top plate) is hot and can be used to boil a kettle or warm up a small saucepan. You will require a flat bottomed kettle or pans. If you plan to use it regularly you will want items with a heavy bottom. COOKER MODELS: All our cooker models have an oven box above the stove. Do not place cookware directly on to the oven bottom. If cookware is placed on the oven bottom the lower layer of food will burn.
Section 5 Maintenance Page 46-56
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. Use a soft cloth, dampened with water or an alcohol based stove glass cleaning solution.
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 (do not use an aerosol spray when the stove is lit). 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.
• 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 • 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 Principles of combustion, section 4) 2. Correct use of air controls (see Making a fire - wood/solid fuel, section 4) 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.g To Remove the Throat Plate Brick - Cat. Version Woody Eco (Cat) Diagram illustrating the location of the throat plate. Throat plate brick LOCATING THE THROAT PLATE STEP 1 Take note of the position of the throat plate brick before removal, the correct position is important, it can move in transit, and it needs be be removed regularly for soot clearance and chimney sweeping. STEP 2 Push brick up from inside the stove and withdraw it through the cut outs in the middle of the aperture.
5.h 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.i To Remove the Catalytic Converters Diagram illustrating the location of the catalytic converters. STEP 1 Take out top rear fire bricks. STEP 2 Lower Cat. cassette, remove catalytic converters. STEP 3 Pull out the catalytic converters from the cassette. STEP 4 Carefully drop in the new converters. Refit cassette and rear fire brick.
5.j 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.l 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 (see Making a Fire, section 4) SMOKE ENTERS ROOM 1. Blocked flue way 1. Let the fire go out then drop the throat plate or throat plate brick down and check for blockages. Sweep chimney 2.
