Clean Air Act requirements. Our appliance - the 5-8kW Vue Landscape mul�fuel stove, has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs. All appliances have been fi�ed with a modified air control to prevent closure of the secondary air control beyond 6mm (30%) open.
BEFORE YOU START First, check the load bearing capacity of your floor Before installing the appliance, you must ensure that the load bearing capacity of the floor is equal to the weight of the appliance, as well as any flue pipes and connec�ons.
The appliance must not be modified in any way. Any changes will invalidate your warranty and may damage the appliance or cause an unforeseen safety issue. Any replacement parts that you may require over the life�me of the appliance must be official F2 Fires appliance parts ONLY.
Considera�ons Test the chimney thoroughly We recommend that a smoke test is carried out to check for gas �ghtness within your flue and for chimney draughts. Lining and insula�ng your chimney before installa�on is highly recommended. Ensure there is adequate access to the chimney to allow for sweeping on a regular basis.
Fi�ng and connec�ons Adjustment points on the appliance This is a free standing appliance designed to be suitable for 12mm hearths. Once the flue is in posi�on, the appliance should be secure. However if the floor surface is uneven, addi�onal fixings are supplied to allow the adjustment of the four feet. Always ensure the appliance is level and secure a�er adjustments are made.

OPERATION Ligh�ng Before ligh�ng the appliance Before ligh�ng the appliance for the first �me, please ensure all firebrick linings and other internal components are in posi�on and that all packaging has been removed. When ligh�ng your appliance for the first �me, it should not be stoked excessively as the materials must be given �me to adapt to the effects of heat.
OPERATION Ligh�ng Ligh�ng the appliance with smokeless fuel Quality Firelighters should be used when ligh�ng the stove. (Never use methylated spirit, petrol or other flammable liquids). Ligh�ng your stove with firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper. Step 1.
HOT SURFACES DURING OPERATION All parts of the appliance will become hot during use. Always use the glove provided to operate any element on the appliance, especially the air control and the door handle. Once lit, ensure that adequate precau�ons are taken to ensure that others, including children, pets and combus�bles cannot come into contact with any of the appliance’s hot surfaces.
Types of fuel Wood Wood needs to be well seasoned before it is burnt. For the best performance, you should use kiln dried wood or seasoned wood with no more than 20% moisture content. As a general guide, wood should be cut to length, split and then stacked under cover outside with the sides open to the air, for at least 12 months.
�me will also help to prevent the gradual buildup of deposits and make future cleaning much easier. For more stubborn stains, a suitable stove glass cleaner will be available from your authorised F2 Fires dealer.
OPERATIONAL ISSUES Problem solving Problem Possible causes and solu�ons The wood is too damp. Only use wood that has been stored for at least 12 months ● under cover and ideally with a moisture content of less than 20%. (See How to light and sustain a fire - Types of fuel) Insufficient intake of air from the air control.
