Page 6: Fuels
(1) Operating Instructions Fuels Recommended fuels: Seasoned (or kiln dried) wood logs or smokeless briquetted fuels. NOT recommended: Green wood (damp wood), used timbers or treated woods (pallets, chip board, fence panels etc) as they will clog the flue ways and glass with soot, tar etc, pollute the environment and cause fires to burn too quickly and overheat. -
Page 7: Running Temperatures
All parts of the stove become hot when in operation. Use the gloves provided to operate the air control and the door handle and replace as required. Primary and Secondary air controls are very simple. When positioned to the right the air controls are closed. When moved to the left position they are open. -
Page 8: Chimney Fire
Regularly check the flue exit from the stove to make sure there is no build-up of deposits that will restrict the exit of the flue gases. Note: The stove must not be modified in any way. Any changes will invalidate your warranty. Any replacement parts must be official Nu-Flame Stoves parts. De-Ashing It is important that you empty the ash pan at regular intervals and dispose of ash in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. - Page 9 Chimney Sweeping The chimney should be swept a minimum of once per year. This must be carried out by a registered competent person. If the stove is used more regularly the chimney should be swept more often. Your stove should also be given a visual inspection every time the chimney is swept. These checks should include the rope seals, door handle, fire bricks and baffles.

Before installing the stove, you must ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the floor can withstand the weight of the stove and any flue pipes and connections. The weight of the Taurus 400 stove is 57 Kg, and the Taurus 450 is 62 Kg. -
Page 15: Clearances
Clearances Combustible materials: The stove is shipped with a full-size rear heatshield fitted. This must be left on. The minimum clearance to combustible materials is 600mm to the sides of the stove, 400mm to the rear of the stove and 400mm to the 5" flue pipe. If the extended rear heatshield is used, and flue insulation is fitted then we recommend then the clearance to the back of the stove can be reduced to 100mm. -
Page 16: Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Carbon Monoxide Alarm An approved carbon monoxide alarm with a 10-year life sealed battery must be installed in the same room when any Solid Fuel appliance is installed. Carbon Monoxide alarms need to meet UKCA safety standards and must be audible. They must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Please Note: an alarm is no substitute for regular maintenance and chimney sweeping. -
