Classic Cast Iron Stove PARLOUR PART NO: 6910085 USER GUIDE GC0710
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Classic Cast Iron Stove. Before attempting to install or use the stove, please read this manual throughout and follow the instructions carefully. Thoroughly familiarise yourself with this stove & it’s operation in order to ensure the safety of yourself and others around you. Henceforth, you can look forward to the stove giving you long and satisfactory service.
INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT WARNING! AN ACCREDITED HEATING ENGINEER MUST CARRY OUT THE INSTALLATION OF THIS STOVE. ALTERNATIVELY, SHOULD A NONACCREDITED ENGINEER UNDERTAKE THE INSTALLATION, YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CONTROL OFFICER WILL BE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE COMPLETED INSTALLATION. IT IS AN OFFENCE UNDER UK LAW, NOT TO COMPLY WITH THIS MANDATARY REQUIREMENT. IF THE STOVE IS NOT FITTED CORRECTLY, BY AN APPROVED PERSON, IT COULD RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
THIS STOVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A SUITABLE FLUE OUTLET. Due to high temperature this stove should be located well away from furniture and curtains. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of hot surfaces. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the stove. Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the stove. Keep the stove area clear of combustible materials, flammable liquids or vapours. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CAN BE FATAL.

4. Set the grate in position inside the stove as in Fig 3, complete with its side rails. Fig 3 5. Slip the wood retainer onto its pegs inside the front door as shown in Fig 4. Fig 4 6. Set the top plate and cooking lids in position on top of the stove 7. Place stove in desired location according to the chimney position in the building. Refer to POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION. 8. Check that the door catch is adjusted via the bolt on the inside to provide a secure closing action.
For specific guidance when cast iron stoves are being installed in boats or homes with thatched roofs, please refer tothe SOLIFTEC website at; www.soliftec.com/installation.htm SUPPORTING FLOORS The stove must only be installed on floors with an adequate load bearing capacity and if the existing construction is not suitable, additional measures such as a load distributing plate must be provided.
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free air gap of at least 200mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50mm at the back of the stove to obtain maximum heat output and for access to the rear of the stove. MINIMUM DISTANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS Note: combustible material refers to any material that will degrade when subjected to heat e.g. plaster. Due to the heat of a hot stove, a suitable fire guard should always be used to provide additional protection.
THIS STOVE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED INTO A CHIMNEY THAT SERVES ANY OTHER HEATING APPLIANCE. THERE MUST NOT BE AN EXTRACTOR FAN FITTED IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE, AS THIS CAN CAUSE THE STOVE TO EMIT FUMES INTO THE ROOM. FLUE HEIGHT The chimney height and the position of the chimney should conform to the Building Regulations document “J”. Flues should be high enough to clear the products of combustion.
BENDS IN FLUES Openings for inspection & cleaning should be formed using purpose factorymade components compatible with the flue system, having an access cover that has the same level of gas-tightness as the flue system and an equal level of thermal insulation. Offsets in flues are only acceptable if the following rules are respected: a) The chimney system shall have no more than 4 bends in total; - 2 bends in the chimney and 2 bends in the flue pipe connection.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION Any room or space containing a stove should have a permanent air vent opening of at least the sizes shown in the table below. For stoves designed to burn a range of different solid fuels, the air supply should be designed to accommodate burning the fuel that produces the highest heating output. There must always be a permanent means of providing air for combustion into the room in which the fire is installed.
Fig 7: Horizontal register plate with top flue connection Fig 8: Horizontal register plate with optional vertical rear flue connection There are several ways of connecting the stove to the flue as shown in Figures 7-10. If the vertical rear flue is used, the chimney may be swept through the appliance. If it is not possible to pass the sweeps brush through the stove, a soot door will be necessary. This may be either in the actual brickwork of the chimney or fitted in the register plate.
A non-combustible register plate minimum 1.5 mm thick should be fitted to all installations between the flue and the building structure. It’s suitability and fit should be checked by a qualified stove installation engineer against the current Building Regulations. Fig 9 CLEANING THE FLUE Access for cleaning the flue should be incorporated in the system other than through the appliance (e.g. a soot door or access through a register plate).
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS Due consideration should be given to the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning following incomplete combustion of solid fuels in an enclosed space. Carbon monoxide detectors to BS EN 50291 are available for use in domestic premises and details are available in the official HETAS guide that can be viewed on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
USING YOUR STOVE THE CONTROLS The heat emitted by the stove is regulated using the following air controls: A) The primary air supply is controlled using the lower air regulators built into the front door. This controls the burn rate and is opened to enable the stove to create more heat. B) A second air inlet positioned in the righthand side of the stove provides a constant air supply to the combustion just above the fire. This air supply will not normally need to be regulated but should always be kept open.
Avoid using the stove to incinerate other materials including household waste. Avoid using ‘green’ unseasoned wood, treated wood such as telegraph poles, or plywood / chipboard containing glues and resins which pollute the environment and cause the fire to burn too quickly. Such materials can produce excessive tar or creosote which can be damaging and in extreme cases cause a fire inside the chimney. The dryness of wood can be assessed by looking at the end of the log.
given off. The gas is not toxic but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn with a high draught until no smells can be detected. Take care not to open the stove doors too vigorously in case of causing smoke spillage. If smoke spillage occurs after the fire door has been opened this could be due to poor chimney draft. SEE TROUBLESHOOTING. FIRE-LIGHTING WITH WOOD 1. Open the air controls. 2.
However, by reducing the burn rate to such a level that the fire is still burning the following day, the burning process creates heavy, tarry chemicals which will become deposited on the inside of the flue or chimney. This is an inefficient process which greatly increases the risk of a chimney fire and makes it necessary to sweep the chimney more often. ASH REMOVAL Keep the stove free from a heavy buildup of ash. The frequency of this is dependant upon the type and quality of fuel being used.
(available from your Clarke dealer) must be used, in either aerosol or brush applied form. Should rust become apparent, clean thoroughly with a wire brush and apply a suitable anti-rust treatment. During prolonged periods out of use, the air inlets should be left open and the door left slightly ajar in order to circulate fresh air and discourage condensation from forming which could encourage corrosion.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Fire difficult to start. Wood green, too damp or poor quality. Use recommended fuel. Logs are too large. When lighting, use small, dry kindling. 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.
