When installing your Helios stove, a 125mm flue liner may be used in accordance with the Building Regulations. The chimney and connecting flue pipe should not be less than the size of the outlet socket (collar) of the stove at any point.
Page 7
A flue draught of 12-15 Pascals is ideal for good appliance performance. The flue draught should be checked under fire at high output. A flue draught exceeding 15Pa will result in an over-firing stove with excessive fuel consumption and could cause a chimney fire. A draught stabiliser may be required so that the rate of burning can be controlled.

Typical Installation for Inglenook Fireplaces – top flue Inglenook fireplaces can have very large bore chimneys. Check with your installer – you are likely to require a stainless steel flexible liner for solid fuel if your chimney is larger than 230mm x 230mm. A closure plate with access for cleaning may also be required together with a short length of flue pipe of the same...

STOVE TOP/BACK (mm) SIDES (mm) Helios The stove can be recessed into a suitably sized fireplace built from non- combustible materials, but a permanent free air gap of at least 100mm should be left around the sides and top to obtain maximum heat output and for access to the rear of the stove.
Flues With a Flue Draft Stabiliser When installing with a flue draft stabiliser into houses built before 2008, at least 1500mm additional means of permanent ventilation direct to outside is required. Houses built after this date will require additional means of permanent ventilation direct to outside of at least 4250 mm .

Tertiary Air – not controlled (fixed supply) The Tertiary Air Supply is bled into the stove from the rear panel. Its function is to ignite unburned gasses helping provide a clean burn. It is advisable to clear these holes from time to time with a brush, especially when the stove is being serviced or after long periods of burning.

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.
Page 13
De-ashing During stove use, whilst burning anthracite or a mix of wood and anthracite, from time to time the fire must be agitated with a poker to remove ash ensuring airflow through the fire bed and allowing the fire to burn over the whole grate. Ensure you use the glove provided.

Operation with door left open Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke and will reduce the efficiency of the stove by up to 50% (as well as presenting an obvious fire risk). The appliance must not be operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.

Grate Removal and Replacement Remove the ash pan, baffle, side bricks and rear brick before finally removing the grate. Replacement is in the reverse order. Cleaning It will be necessary to clean fly-ash off baffle plate in the top of the stove at least once a month.
problems occur, then your stove needs to be dried and the cause of the problem rectified. After a shut-down, and before reuse, the appliance should be cleaned again and the chimney swept, it is essential to have the chimney swept at least once annually and it is recommended that it is swept twice a year.

Smoke and Fumes Entering the Room When properly installed and operated, this appliance will not emit fumes into the room. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and refuelling may occur and is normal. Persistent fume emission with closed doors must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken: 1.

Poor Heat Output Stove too small for room Seek advice from a qualified heating engineer as to (kW) output required for room size. 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. Chimney and / or flue pipe restricted, room ventilation restricted.
