There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the appliance is installed and make sure apertures provided for this purpose are not restricted and are free HEARTHS All Chesneys wood burning stoves can be fitted on a 12mm hearth providing there is sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Page 9
FLUE DRAFT A flue draft calculation could be beneficial before any installation to ascertain if the flue design is suitable to remove the exhaust gases, or at the very least a smoke test is carried out to gauge the effectiveness of the flue. A flue calculation should be carried out (when coming off the rear of the stove, up to 450mm horizontally) giving the flue design and the total length including bends of the air inlet prior to the installation.
Page 10
EXTERNAL AIR SUPPLY • There is an Air Inlet Pipe located at the rear of the stove. • If you are installing an external air supply, position the external air inlet to avoid it becoming blocked with debris. • The position of the air inlet must take into account atmospheric conditions i.e. prevailing winds.

THE CLEAN AIR ACT 1993 & SMOKE CONTROL AREAS Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offense to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designate smoke control area.
Page 12
INSTALLING IN DEFRA SMOKE CONTROL AREAS • The appliance is exempt from the provisions of section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993 subject to the following conditions and can be used in Smoke Control Areas in the UK only when the stove is in smoke control mode and is installed in accordance with the current Building Regulations.
3. OPERATING THE APPLIANCE • Check all internal parts are fitted correctly and there are no gaps between the firebricks and baffles and the log retainer is secure. • Check the air flow lever is operating freely. • The internal vermiculite bricks become very brittle when heated and care should be taken not to knock the bricks when loading the fire.
Page 14
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING FIRST USE CURING PROCESS As with all wood burning stoves your new stove will need to be ‘cured’ before commencing normal use. For the first lighting of the stove after installation it is VERY IMPORTANT that the door remains slightly ajar.
Page 15
FUEL • This appliance is designed and certified for wood burning only. • It is recommended to only burn logs that carry the Woodsure ‘Ready to Burn’ logo or with a moisture content of less than 20%. • Burning wet unseasoned wood will cause heavy tar deposits in the stove, on the glass and within the chimney.
Page 16
CONTROLLING THE FIRE • For ease of use the appliance has been designed with a single control lever. The Air Flow Bar controls the amount of air flowing into the combustion chamber. • Pull the bar out to allow more air into the chamber to produce more heat and resulting in a faster burn.
Page 17
REFUELING • Always try to refuel on a hot bed of ash with plenty of glowing embers. • Pull the Air Flow Bar fully out and slowly open the door with the glove provided to equalise the pressure inside the stove with the room - if you open the door too quickly ash can be lifted from the chamber into the room.
4. MAINTENANCE & CARE ESSENTIAL ANNUAL MAINTENANCE To maintain the effectiveness and efficiency of your stove it needs to be serviced or inspected annually by a competent person. An annual service is a requirement of our extended warranty. The installation and flue connection needs to be checked and the chimney swept annually.

Check that all of the smoke enters the flue and none comes back into the room through any part of the stove, connecting flue pipe or air supply duct. If visible smoke enters the room then repeat the flue preheat detailed in Note: point 2 above, to generate additional flue draw.
