POSITIONING & INSTALLATION All local regulations, including those referring to national and European Standards need to be complied with when installing this appliance. WARNING: IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, CONTACT THE LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
The stove must have a minimum clearance of 1200 mm to a combustable ceiling above. Due to the heat of a hot stove, a suitable fire guard should be used to provide additional protection. Note; All stoves should be installed in accordance with the local building regulations. THE CHIMNEY The stove is supplied with a flue pipe for top mounting with the fixing screws supplied. The stove should never be connected to a shared chimney/flue system.
USING YOUR STOVE CONTROLS The amount of heat emitted by the stove is regulated using two air controls. A) The primary air supply is controlled using the two lower air controls built into the doors. B) A second air inlet provides a constant, pre-heated air supply to the combustion just above the fire. This is controlled using the upper air controls mounted at the top of the doors. This air supply will not normally need to be regulated so will usually be kept open.
Take care not to open the stove doors too vigorously in case of causing smoke spillage. If smoke spillage occurs when the fire doors are opened this could be due to poor chimney draft. SEE TROUBLESHOOTING. FIRE-LIGHTING WITH WOOD 1. Open the air controls. 2. Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a reasonable quantity of dry kindling wood. Place 2 or 3 small logs on top. 3. Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the doors. 4.
A mixture of fuels can be used in conjunction with wood, provided the base of the fire remains as wood or compressed block fuels, with coal products being added to this with the volume of coal products being less than that of other fuels. With solid fuels, there is less need to burn the stove hard after refuelling. The rate of refuelling will also be less often than with wood. WARNING: OVER-FIRING THE STOVE MAY CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE. IF THE CHIMNEY IS SEEN TO BE GLOWING THE STOVE IS OVER-FIRED.
MAINTENANCE The stove and flueway should be inspected and maintained when in a cold condition. CHIMNEY SWEEPING Inspect the flue and chimney for a buildup of deposits especially following prolonged periods without use. The entire chinmey/flue should be swept frequently from top to bottom by a registered chimney sweep to remove any buildup of soot etc, the frequency being dependant upon the usage and the fuels being burnt.
In the event of the glass being broken, it can be removed by unscrewing the retaining clips, taking care not to damage the fireproof seal. The replacement glass should be carefully placed against the seal and the retaining clips re-tensioned. Take care to tension these evenly or there is a risk of breaking the new glass pane.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Fire difficult to start. Wood green, too damp or poor quality. Use recommended fuel. Logs are too big. When lighting the fire use small, dry twigs. To maintain the fire use split logs. Air starvation. Open upper and lower air controls. Insufficient draught. Check that flue is not obstructed, sweep flue if necessary. Too much draught. Ensure that the lower air control is closed. Partially close the top air control. Excessive draw.
