Stove Safety When properly maintained and operated your stove should give you many years of service. However, there are important safety aspects of these products that you need to be aware of when operating a wood stove. 1. Hi Flame recommends that you have your new stove installed by a professional installer of solid fuel burning appliances.
Installation Unpacking and preparing your stove for installation: Assembling the HF-905U 1. Open the door and unfasten the wire on the fire fence. It is used to ensure that the glass does not break during transportation.
3. Fix the flue collar on the outlet which you selected by using the M6 x 20mm flat crosshead screw. Ensure all seals are secure to prevent air leakage. If you choose the rear flue outlet, remove the flue cover before fixing the flue collar. 4.
Installation Clearances It is extremely important that you respect required installation distances and that you respect local installation regulations. This is for your safety. The manufacturer is not responsible for the product if it is not installed following these recommendations. These clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority.
Well sealed flue system Only materials and items approved for solid fuel stoves should be used for your stove. Under no circumstances should you use aluminum or galvanized steel pipes for your stove flue. Always fit pipes with the narrow side down. This will allow any creosote to run down the inside of the pipe and not to come out and cause an unsightly mess and possible fire hazard.
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection, must be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate. For the best performance, the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90°...
Factory-Built Chimney When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and "T" section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc.
Masonry Chimney (Installation untested by Intertek) Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. (Must meet installation specifications provided in NFPA 211.) Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage.
Masonry Fireplace (Installation untested by Intertek) Ensure that a masonry fireplace meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. (Must meet installation specifications provided in NFPA 211.) There are listed kits available to connect a stove to a masonry fireplace.
Operating Your Stove • Do not use a grate, andiron or other fuel support method. Build fire directly on the hearth. • Only open door to fuel/refuel the stove. Excess air can cause the stove to over fire. Do not over fire.
Refueling Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply on high for a few moments until there is a good fire within the stove. This will ensure there is no build-up of harmful gases in the stove when the door is opened and will also get the new fuel burning quickly and not allow it to kill the fire. To reload the stove, open the door and feed the fuel in slowly, using tongs.
Stove Maintenance Check stove regularly Creosote: Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
There may be times, however, when you need to clean the glass. To do this, use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Only ever clean the glass when the stove is cold. When loading fuel into the stove, always make sure it is not protruding out through the door opening, as this may break the glass when you close the door.
Trouble Shooting Fire not burning A stove not burning is generally caused by either a shortage of air and/or incorrect or damp fuel. If fuel is not the problem check: • That the air controls are opened. • That there is no blockage in the flue system. •...
Do not relight the stove after a chimney fire until the stove and flue have been checked and any necessary repairs have been carried out.
