As a guideline the volume of the room in cubic feet divided by 500 i.e. room 15’ x 15’ x 8’ would require 3.6kW approx. B. Chimney and / or flue pipe restricted, room ventilation restricted. On Installation these will have been checked but regular maintenance is necessary as conditions can change i.e. soot build up, birds nesting, masonry fall, dust build up or furniture blocking vents. C. Poor quality fuel. Only burn dry seasoned timber, soft woods have a lower heat output than hard woods per hour. Solid fuels vary in heat value, check with your coal merchant as to suitability. 2. DIRTY GLASS PANEL A. Generally caused by poor fuel quality, see (1c) B. Use secondary air slide (Air wash) for glass panel C. Fire burning too low, open the air vents on the stove to create a hot fire, this may ‘burn’ the glass clean. D. If glass requires cleaning use glass cleaner recommended by your supplier, only use glass cleaner on cold glass. DO NOT USE any abrasives or scrapers, these will scratch the glass making tar build up harder to remove. ...

Check with your installer the presence of children, the elderly or the infirm. Inform all persons of the – you may need a stainless steel flexible liner for solid fuel fitting. A closure plate dangers of high temperatures during operation of appliance including the stove may also be required. pipe use operating tools provided. DO NOT OVER FIRE – it is possible to fire the stove beyond its design capacity, this could damage the stove, so watch for signs of over firing – if any part of the stove start to glow red, the fire is in an over fire situation, and the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave the stove unattended for long periods without adjusting the controls to a safe setting – careful air supply control should be exercised at all times. WARNING – FUME EMISSIONS When properly installed and operated, this appliance will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de‐ashing and refuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken – 1. Evacuate the room, opening doors and windows on your exit to ventilate the room. 2. Let the fire go out, or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. 3. Check for a flue blockage and clean if required. Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause has been identified and corrected. If necessary, seek professional advice.

The length of the horizontal run of the flue pipe must not exceed the flue outlet diameter on the stove – 125mm Please note that when refuelling with solid fuel, do not pile fuel higher than 30 It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney flue are sealed degrees from the front bar rearwards – over‐fuelling can produce temperatures and made airtight. beyond the designed rating of the appliance, causing damage to internal parts. Both chimney and flue pipe must be accessible for cleaning and if ALL parts of the This appliance is designed to be operated with the door closed, except for chimney cannot be reached through the stove, a soot door must be fitted to refuelling. Not only is it unsafe to operate with the door open but the appliance enable this to be done. efficiency will be significantly reduced Lighting The Stove It is essential that you have two or three small fires before you operate the stove to its maximum heat output. This is to allow the paint to cure and casting to relax and consolidate location. We recommend ‘running in’ procedure after long shutdowns to preserve life of stove. During this you may notice an unpleasant smell. It is not toxic, but for your comfort we would suggest that during this period you leave doors and windows open. First, load the fire with starting fuel i.e. paper, dry kindling timber and / or fire lighters in the mode chosen, either wood or coal. Light the fire at base leaving all air controls open. Allow the fuel to reach a steady glow and build up the fire gradually. Once you have a good fire established across the grate bed, further fuel can be added as required. ...
- Page 10 The stove can be banked up for long periods. When burning solid fuel empty the Typical Installation For Inglenook Fireplaces – Side View ash pan. Open air controls and let the fire burn brightly for a short period. Refuel and close air controls, the exact setting required will depend on the fuel used and the chimney draw so some trial and error and practice will be necessary. To revive the fire, open air controls until the fire is burning brightly, de‐ash if necessary (solid fuel only) and refuel. Set air controls as required. Solid Fuels We recommend the majority of approved manufactured smokeless fuels. Household coal, which is ‘smokey’ fuel, can also be used but note that different types will give different performances. Use as an incinerator is not recommended as fumes from plastics etc will cause pollution to the atmosphere and will damage stoves internally. PETROLEUM COKE FUELS OR HOUSEHOLD WASTE SHOULD NOT BE BURNT IN THIS APPLIANCE Should any difficulties arise over fuel quality or suitability, consult your local supplier or Solid Fuel Advisory Service. ...

This is an after market product and will be of Typical Installation Into Infilled Masonry Fireplaces the type with positive open and closed indication to prevent misunderstanding. THE FLUE DAMPER SHOULD NOT BE FITTED WHEN BURNING SOLID FUELS De‐Ashing It is important that the riddler is used to remove ash to ensure an airflow through the fire bed and allow the fire to burn over the entire area of the grate. Insert the pin on operation tool into hole in riddling rod, draw tool forwards and backwards with a slow positive action. Set rod in back position after de‐ashing. For efficient burning of your appliance, make sure the grate is clear of burnt debris i.e. nails etc. Notes on Wood Burning Wood burns best on a bed of ash and it is therefore only necessary to remove surplus ash from the grate occasionally. Burn only kiln dried or well seasoned wood, which should have been cut, split and stacked under cover for at least 36 months, with free air movement around the sides of the stack to enable it to dry out. Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create tar deposits in the stove and chimney and will not produce a satisfactory heat output. Tar deposits, if allowed to build up, are a major cause of chimney fires. Notes on Solid Fuel Burning Always de‐ash before refuelling and do not let the ash build up to the underside of the grate bars. Solid fuel produces ash, which if allowed to build up, will stifle the air flow through the grate and eventually cause the fire to die. With some solid fuels a residue of burnt fuel or clinker will accumulate on the grate, allow the fire to go out periodically to remove this. It is stressed how important it is to empty the ash pan regularly. Air passing through the fire bed cools the grate. Distortion or burning out the grate bars is nearly always caused by ash being allowed to build up the underside ...
