ApplePie User Manual

Installation Instructions
As every installation is unique, it is not possible to provide
a step by step guide to cover the entire installation. The in-
tention of these instructions is to provide basic information
for use by suitably trained Competent Persons.
This guide will help identify the key points to observe when
tting the ApplePie.
All installations need to be carried out in compliance with
local and national Building Regulations and relevant au-
thority guidelines.

This stove is heavy and requires at least 2 able bodied
people to lift, and may need more depending on optional
body extras (such oven and pedestal base).
Ensure that the stove and its constituent parts are never
dragged across the oor and are lifted carefully into
position.
A two wheeled ‘sack trolley’ or lifting trolley may be helpful
or necessary.
Inside the stove you will nd several components:
1) HeatResistant Glove
2) User Manual
3) Cast Iron Flue Collar with 3x Fixing Screws
4) Pizza/Griddle cook shelf (always remove before
lighting re and only replace above a bed of embers
once all ames have died (if intending to cook on)).
Unpacking & Manoeuvring
5) Multi-tool for ash-pan/ burn-tray and pizza cooking shelf
removal.
6) Grate with separate log retaining bars
7) Ash-pan/ burn tray
8) Spare hardwood handle
1) Check that the door handle mechanism locks the door
securely. Door seals can easily be checked at anytime by
tearing a small piece of paper. Trap the paper in the door
and secure the door. If the paper is easily pulled out without
resistance, the rope seal in that particular area needs
‘plumping out’ - do this by pinching the rope and gently
pufng it outwards. At some stage in the future the rope will
be attened so much that it will need replacing with a fresh
rope seal.
2) Check the smooth operation of the vent controls - if
there is friction or a non-smooth movement or jamming, it
is possible there is residue from steel shot blasting in the
vent mechanism - in this case, remove the grate, pizza
shelf and ashpan from the inside of the stove. On the oor
of the stove you will see a plate held in place with four
xings. remove this for inspection access as it is above the
vent mechanism. Insert a vacuum cleaner nozzle into the
inspection access whilst swiftly moving the vent control left
and right several times. (Figure 2.1)
3) Check that the inside door glass is correctly in position,
making a seal on its rope and that the xings are not loose,
but hand tight (never over-tighten glass retaining clips).
4) Check that the bafe plate above the burn area inside
the rebox is in position - it should be rmly located resting
on top of the rebrick plates to the sides, and pushed
