Co Alarms; Fire Safety; Frozen System; Glass - Stanley Cara+ Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

1. Before lighting the stove, ensure that any build-
up in the firebox has been removed and that
the ashpan has been emptied.
2. Open the primary air control by turning it
clockwise. Open secondary air control by
sliding it to the left. These parts will become hot.
Use the tool or glove provided.
3. Lay a few crumpled sheets of paper on the
grate and then a few small sticks, kindling or an
approved firelighter. Ignite and close the door.
4. Never use inflammable liquid i.e. gasoline,
petrol paraffin etc. to start or freshen up a fire in
this heater.
5. When the fire is well established add fuel to the
firebox. Adjust to the desired primary setting
and / or the secondary air slide depending on
the fuel burned. (See Re-Fuelling Section).
6. To shut the fire down, do not add fuel. Make
sure that the fire door is properly closed, that
the primary air control is firmly shut and the
secondary air slide is pushed fully into the right.
Cutting off the air supply will reduce the heat
output.

CO ALARMS

Building Regulations require that whenever a new or
replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appli-
ance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide
alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appli-
ance. 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 cor-
rectly or ensuring regular servicing and mainte-
nance of the appliance and chimney system.
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" below.
WARNING:-
If the CO Alarm sounds unexpectedly:-
1. Open Doors and windows to ventilate the
room and then leave the premises.
2. Let the fire go out.

FIRE SAFETY

To provide reasonable fire safety the following
should be given serious consideration:
1. The installation of smoke detectors.
2. A conveniently located fire extinguisher to con-
tend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
3. A practical evacuation plan.
4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
a. Notify the fire department.
b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacua-
tion.
c. Close all openings into the stove.
d. While awaiting the fire department watch for
ignition to adjacent combustibles from over
head stove pipe or from embers or from
sparks from the chimney.

FROZEN SYSTEM

If there is any possibility that the water system may
be frozen do not attempt to light the stove until you
are certain there is no ice in the system possibly
causing a blockage.

GLASS

1. How to clean:
The glass will clean itself when there is sufficient
heat generated by burning fuel. If a build-up of cre-
osote occurs on the glass it may be due to draft
conditions, poor quality fuel or very slow burning for
a long time. Only clean glass when the stove is
thoroughly cooled. Clean with a liquid detergent
taking care not to scratch the glass with any coal
ash deposits.
2. Glass Replacement::
a. Open the door fully.
b. Remove the clips and carefully remove the
broken glass.
c. Clean the glass recess in the door.
d. Place the glass into the door recess and replace
the four corner clips.
e. Tighten screws.
f. Replace glass only with ceramic glass 5mm thick.

SUMMER SHUTDOWN

For summer shutdown of the stove, ensure all
ashes have been cleaned from the ash compart-
ment and that the air control is open, to avoid con-
densation in the stove firebox and possible corro-
sion during this shutdown period.
