Page 3: Health And Safety Precautions
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet 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. It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 152871:2007 as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved Document J. Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the installation of the stove is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or is installed by a Competent Person registered with a Government approved Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their Registered Competent Persons can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk. 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. Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system. HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act are met. Handling Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling. Fire Cement Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case of contact wash immediately with plenty of water. Asbestos This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment. Metal Parts When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of ... - Page 4 STOVE PERFORMANCE In the UK the stove has been approved by HETAS Ltd as an intermittent operating appliance for burning wood logs only. It should be noted that it is an offence to burn wood logs in this stove if it is installed within a Smoke Control Area in the UK, unless it has been accredited as a Smoke Control Exempt appliance (Check with your supplier/installer). PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS IMPORTANT WARNING 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. Chimney In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate draught of approximately 15 Pa so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems into the room. NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation procedure given in EN 133841 may be used as the basis for deciding whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught. Please Note, this appliance has been tested by the manufacturers and works on a 3.5m straight flue. The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J. If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross section may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice, if necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J. Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire. If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations. 4 ...
- Page 5 A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting fluepipe must have a minimum diameter of 150 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove. Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends should not be used. Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions. If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser should be fitted. Fitting of a draught stabiliser will affect the requirement for the permanent air supply into the room in which the stove is fitted in accordance with Approved Document J (see also combustion air supply). Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney and connecting fluepipe where it is not intended for the chimney to be swept through the appliance, also to permit visual checks on the integrity of the flue when the appliance is serviced. Hearth The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not independently supported. The weight of the stove is indicated in the brochure. The stove should always be installed on a noncombustible hearth of a size and construction that is in accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J. The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions. If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor surface, it must be covered with a noncombustible ...

Page 6: Commissioning And Handover
Combustion air supply In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the room is doubleglazed or a flue draught stabiliser is operating in the same room as the appliance. It may be necessary to increase the air 3 2 vent size in property with low air permeability ( < 5.0 m /(h.m ). The provision of air supply to the stove must be in accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this purpose. IMPORTANT NOTE: If applicable and the appliance is being fitted within an existing fireplace recess, specialist advice should be sought before fitting any permanent ventilation within this area. Connection to chimney Stoves may have a choice of either a rear or top flue gas connector that allows connection to either a masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with their instructions. In some cases it may be necessary to fit an adaptor to increase the diameter of the flue to the minimum required 150 mm section of the chimney or liner. Electrical Services The installation of any electrical services during the installation of this appliance must be carried out by a registered competent electrician and in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of BS 7671 Carbon Monoxide Alarm A carbon monoxide alarm complying with BS EN 50292 must be fitted in the same room as the appliance. It should be positioned on the ceiling at least 300mm from any wall or, if it is located on a wall, as high up as possible (above any doors and windows) but not within 150mm of the ceiling. The alarm should also be between 1m and 3m horizontally from the appliance. Commissioning and handover Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction booklet. 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. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours. On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on ... -
Page 7: Warning Note
WARNING NOTE Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove 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. In the event of fume emission from the appliance, then the following immediate action should be taken: ‑ (a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room and then leave the premises (b) Let the fire go out (c) When safe to do so, check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required (d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice. The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean at all times. IMPORTANT NOTES General Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks described in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly. CO Alarm Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” above. Use of fireguard When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are pre sent a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fire guard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539). If the fire is left unattended a spark guard to BS 3248, specification for spark guards for use with solid fuel appliances should be used. Chimney cleaning The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney will require sweeping after a month of continuous operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any “softer” deposits left from the open fire usage have not been loosened by the higher flue temperatures generated by the closed stove. 7 ... -
Page 8: Aerosol Sprays
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush. Periods of Prolonged NonUse If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open. Extractor fan There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit smoke and fumes into the room. Aerosol sprays Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight. Use of operating tools Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use. Chimney Fires If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur turn off the stove immediately and isolate the mains electricity supply (if applicable), and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out. If the chimney fire does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately. Do not relight the stove until the chimney and flueways have been cleaned and examined by a professional. 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 may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed. 8 ... -
Page 9: Recommended Fuels
USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WOOD Please read the important notices given above before referring to the main in struction book for detailed operating instructions. HETAS Ltd Approval HETAS approval may be limited to specific fuel types as detailed in the main instruction manuals. Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the recommended fuel, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels. Recommended fuels Stoves may be designed to burn dry seasoned wood logs and/or solid mineral fuel as indicated in the main stove manuals. Door operation The door handle may become hot during operation, use the tool to open and close the doors, if appropriate. Lighting of fire Place some firelighters or paper and dry kindling wood on the grate and cover with a small amount of fuel. Set air controls to maximum and set light to firelighters or paper. Close the doors and allow fire to burn until fuel is well alight then load with more fuel and adjust air controls to the required level of heat output. Before relighting the fire clean the firebed of ash and clinker and empty the ashpan. Refuelling Keep the firebox well filled (the fuel may be sloped up from the front firebars), but do not allow fuel to spill over the top of the front fire bars. Take care that fuel does not project over the front fire bars or damage to the glass may be caused when the doors are closed Flueway cleaning It is important that the baffle plate and all the stove flueways are kept clean. When burning smokeless fuels they should be cleaned at least monthly. When burning other fuels they should be cleaned at least once a week, and more frequently if necessary. Remove any sooty deposits from the baffle plate until they fall off into the fire. More soot will be deposited on the baffle plate and in the flueways if the stove is run at low levels for long periods. If this is the case then more frequent cleaning will be necessary. 9 ... - Page 10 Cleaning and maintenance The instructions detailed in the section “Maintenance” in the instruction booklet should be followed.

- Page 11 Operating instructions Please note that HETAS Appliance Approval only covers the use of dry seasoned wood logs on this appliance. HETAS Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the wood logs, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels. Fuel The stove is designed and approved in accordance with EN 13240 and NS 3058 for stoking split, dried firewood. The firewood must have a water content of 1522% and its max. length should be the length of the combustion chamber minus 5060 mm. Stoking with wet firewood causes both soot, environmental pollution and bad fuel economy. Freshly cut wood contains approx. 5070% water and is thoroughly unsuitable for stoking. Allow at least 1 year of storage time for newly cut wood before using. Wood with a diameter of more than 100 mm should be split. Regardless of wood size, it should always have at least one surface area free of bark. We do not recommend stoking with painted, laminated or impregnated wood, wood with a synthetic surface, painted refuse wood, chipboard, plywood, domestic waste, paper briquettes and pit coal, as this will produce malodorous smoke, which could be poisonous. When firing with the abovementioned items and amounts larger than those recommended, the stove is subjected to a larger amount of heat, which results in a higher chimney temperature and lower efficiency. This can result in the stove and chimney becoming damaged and would void the warranty. The calorific value of the firewood is closely connected to the moisture level. Moist firewood has a low heat value. The more water the wood contains, the more energy it takes for this water to vaporise, resulting in this energy being lost. ONLY USE RECOMMENDED FUELS The following table shows the calorific value of different types of wood, which have been stored for 2 years and which have a residual moisture of 15 17%. 3 Wood Kg dry wood pr m compared to beech/oak Hornbeam 640 110% Beech and oak 580 100% Ash 570 ...
