With every installation a carbon monoxide detector/ (co) alarm must be installed in the same room as this stove. See below for advice on positioning. 2.2 INSTALLATION Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the stove installation manual. To make it easier to handle the stove on installation it may help to remove the baffle plates, bricks and door. - Page 8 This stove must not share a chimney with any other appliance - this includes gas appliances as well as solid fuel. Where a masonry chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequential risk of a flue blockage.
- Page 9 Remove the screw from the test point and insert the hose or test probe of the manometer or draught gauge. Record the reading in pascals (Pa). The optimum reading should be in the range of 12-15Pa. A flue draught may exceed 15Pa but must not exceed 24Pa.

2.4 OPERATION Always open the stove door slowly to refuel and limit the time the door is open. During the operation the stove handle may become hot so always wear the glove provided. Secondary Air Control Tertiary Air Holes Primary Air Control 2.4.1 Primary Air - controllable Primary air is controlled via the sliding vent in the bottom of the door. - Page 14 2.4.3 Tertiary Air – not controlled (fixed supply) The Tertiary Air Supply is bled into the stove from the rear panel.
