Page 6: Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE 4.1.1. INSTALLATION! These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current local regulations including Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations including UK or EU standards referred to as they affect the installation of the stove.
Page 7: Fuels
4.1.5. Fuels Only use recommended fuels which are seasoned (or kiln dried) hard wood logs only. The appliance can be damaged by burning petroleum coke, liquid fuels or general rubbish and this will invalidate your warranty and risk your personal safety. The appliance must not be used as a rubbish incinerator.
Page 8: Ventilation
providing that the user only burns seasoned wood logs with the air limiter fitted in in full accordance with the wood burning instructions. A 6” 150mm liner is always better where it is possible to use one. Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage.
Page 9: Flue Draught
5.4. Flue Draught Typically a flue draught at the flue collar of 2.2mm to a maximum 3.5mm water gauge (22 to 35 Pascals) is required for satisfactory appliance performance. This relates to 12-25 Pascals at the higher tapping on EN13240/13229 test rigs. A test point if provided on the flue spigot collar.

and the materials with an air gap behind it. By doing so, safe distances may be substantially reduced in practice. Building Regulations advise that single wall flue pipes must be kept 3 x diameter away from any combustible materials. 5.6.2. COMBUSTIBLE SHELVES AND BEAMS Due to the fact that combustible shelves, timber fireplaces and beams have potentially thousands of possible configurations in conjunction with stoves outset or inserted...
Page 11 Upon completion of the installation, allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out. A small fire may then be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere.

7.0 Operating Instructions Safety Notes for your guidance 7.1. 7.1.1. FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS – Always use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances in the presence of children, the elderly or the infirm. 7.1.2. DO NOT perform modifications to the appliance as this could seriously compromise safety in operation.
Page 14: Warnings
1. Open Doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises. 2. Let the fire go out. Warnings: This appliance is not designed for open operation and therefore should not be operated with the doors open. This stove is designed to burn wood fuels cleanly with high efficiency. However, for this product to work properly it must be used correctly.
Page 15: Air Controls
Air Controls Keep air controls and inlets/outlets clean and free from ash or debris at all times – this includes the under grate ashpan area. Keep ventilator air inlet grille or external air kit intake grille (if fitted) clean and clear at all times. Do not leave air controls fully open unless monitoring the fire as over firing damage (typically buckling of components) can result which is not covered by any warranty.

of wood ash when burning wood will not harm the firebox but it will restrict airflow and potentially increase smoke so excessive wood ash build up is not recommended. 7.4.5 Ashpan It is essential that you empty the ash pan regularly to maintain air flows to the fire bed, particularly for boosting on light-up and after re-fuelling.
Page 17: Important Notes For Wood Burning
touch the baffle or the glass panel. Do not stack logs above the level of the rear firebox liner brick at the back of the stove. Always make sure that flames are visible above the wood after re-fuelling for cleanest burning.
Page 18: Notes On Smokeless Fuel (Maxibrite) Burning
7.8 Information on Smokeless Fuel (Maxibrite) burning This stove is not suitable for briquetted smokeless fuels and they will damage the ash cover plate if use is attempted. 7.9 Lighting the Stove We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its maximum heat output.
Page 19: Re-Fuelling
7.10 Re-fuelling When burning wood, the fire will die down as the fuel is consumed. When the flames disappear and the remainder is breaking down into glowing embers it is an appropriate time to consider re-fuelling. Generally unless the firebox and firebed has cooled down and it is being revived up to working temperature then it’s not appropriate to re-fuel when the logs are still flaming fiercely.

7.13 User Maintenance See also the Cleaning section above and Maintenance Guide Section below for further information. Inspect the inside of the firebox and above the baffle plate every week during use. Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage.

Page 24: Frequently Asked Questions

A liner may or may not be required depending on flue conditions and only your installer can confirm. Our stoves do not mandatorily require a liner. 2 How do I clean the chimney? You will require a chimney sweep to clean the chimney.
