PLACEMENT & INSTALLATION WARNING: IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, CONTACT THE LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA. POSITIONING The stove should only be placed on a wooden floor if it has been covered by a metal plate or other non-inflammable material at least 5mm thick.
Any offset between bends should be minimised and the flue should be equipped with suitable access doors for inspection & cleaning. A range of suitable flue pipes, cowls and fire cement are available from your Clarke dealer. USING YOUR STOVE...
Keep the fire burning for three hours or so, gradually increasing the intensity during this period. It should be remembered that this procedure should be carried out at the begining of each season of use in order to remove the moisture retained by the metal during the period of non- use. When used for the first time the fireplace may smell a little, due to gas being given off.
Keep the grate free from a heavy buildup of ashes. The Richmond stove is equipped with a grate riddling device which is used to shake ashes off the grate & into the ashpan. If the stove is burning without life and the lower controls are open, use the riddling lever to clear the grate of ash.
