  • Page 2 HERCULES MULTIFUEL SAFETY BOILER STOVE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Thank You May we take this opportunity to thank you for choosing a Hercules, cast iron Multi-fuel Boiler stove. Please take time to read this manual and follow the guidelines on how to install and operate your new stove, as we feel sure it will enable you to use it to its best advantage for many years.
  • Page 3: Installation Of Stove

    INSTALLATION OF STOVE These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
  • Page 4 Additional Air A permanent air entry opening or openings with a total free area of at least 550mm per Kw of appliance rated output above 5Kw. If a flue draught stabiliser is used, extra ventilation will be required. 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.
  • Page 5 Chimney This appliance must not be fitted into a chimney serving another heating appliance. It is most important that there is no obstruction in the flue or chimney. Please ensure that any existing chimney is clear of obstruction and swept clean immediately before installation of the stove.
  • Page 6 SUMMARY Y OF FLUE PROBLEM Figu ure 1 – Sum mmary of flu ue problems e chimney should be e insulated d and be a minimum of 4.5m h high to hieve suffic cient draw w. If there are any be ends in th e flue a hi gher chim...

  • Page 8 Connection to Chimney Flue A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney. It is important that the connection between the stove spigot and the flue pipe is effectively sealed with heat resistant fire cement and/ or glass fibre rope to prevent harmful gases leaking into the room.
  • Page 9 Boiler Connections All boiler models are fitted with 4 connections for piping. These connections are 1 ½ Inch BSP and are a female thread. It is possible to only use 2 of these connections, however opposite angles must be used – For example Flow top right, return bottom left.
  • Page 10 Fit the Front Plate Offer the vertically recessed rope seals to the leading edges of the Boiler Unit (the top edge of the Top Plate should be about 50mm above the top edge of the Boiler Unit) and allow the Front Plate to slide down until the catches engage with the pins located on the Boiler Unit.
  • Page 11 Commission/Handover Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions for “Assembly” given above. On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere.
  • Page 12: Operation Of Stove

    OPERATION OF STOVE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE STOVE It is very important not to leave the stove running with the doors open. This allows far too much air into the stove causing the fire to burn excessively hot and will severely damage the stove.
  • Page 13 Ash Pan The ash pans can be removed using the double end of the poker which fits under the top lip of the ash pan. Care must be exercised when opening the doors as the handle and this part of the stove will be very hot. Use the glove provided. Do not put hot ashes into anything other than a metal container unless you know the ashes are cold.
  • Page 14 The tertiary air control The tertiary air control, or afterburner control, is used to burn the smoky fumes and volatile gasses that would normally be lost up the chimney. Because of the lack of oxygen within these gasses, they would not burn any more. When the tertiary air control is used, additional heat will be generated.
  • Page 15 Permanent air vent The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently. In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer should have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air.
  • Page 16 NON RECOMMENDED FUELS • Wood off cuts and building materials must not be used as fuel at any time. Off cuts can contain chemicals etc that accelerate the burn rate or produce excessive tar deposits and on some occasions harmful gases. The fuels below are suitable for open fires and therefore are not recommended to burn in a closed appliance.
  • Page 17 Burning Solid Fuel Solid fuel needs a flow of air for combustion though the bottom of the grate. Wood does not require this and will readily burn on a bed of ash with a flow of air over the top. Use the single end of the poker provided to push the ash and debris through the grate before refuelling.
  • Page 18: Warning Note

    WARNING NOTE Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken:- a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
  • Page 19: Troubleshooting

    Trouble-Shooting 1. Smoke comes out of the stove when the loading door is opened. • The chimney cavity into which the flue pipe has been installed may be less than the minimum requirement. • Deposits (soot) may have built up in the chimney and be restricting the flow of waste products.
