THIS STOVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A SUITABLE FLUE OUTLET. Due to high temperature this stove should be located well away from furniture and curtains. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of hot surfaces. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the stove.

For specific guidance when cast iron stoves are being installed in boats or homes with thatched roofs, please refer tothe SOLIFTEC website at; www.soliftec.com/installation.htm SUPPORTING FLOORS The stove must only be installed on floors with an adequate load bearing capacity and if the existing construction is not suitable, additional measures such as a load distributing plate must be provided.
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free air gap of at least 200mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50mm at the back of the stove to obtain maximum heat output and for access to the rear of the stove.
THIS STOVE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED INTO A CHIMNEY THAT SERVES ANY OTHER HEATING APPLIANCE. THERE MUST NOT BE AN EXTRACTOR FAN FITTED IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE, AS THIS CAN CAUSE THE STOVE TO EMIT FUMES INTO THE ROOM. FLUE HEIGHT The chimney height and the position of the chimney should conform to the Building Regulations document “J”.
BENDS IN FLUES Openings for inspection & cleaning should be formed using purpose factory- made components compatible with the flue system, having an access cover that has the same level of gas-tightness as the flue system and an equal level of thermal insulation.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION Any room or space containing a stove should have a permanent air vent opening of at least the sizes shown in the table below. For stoves designed to burn a range of different solid fuels, the air supply should be designed to accommodate burning the fuel that produces the highest heating output.

(e.g. a soot door or access through a register plate). Purpose-made soot doors and inspection lengths are available from the Clarke range. Ensure that the whole length of the flue can be reached from the soot door.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS Due consideration should be given to the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning following incomplete combustion of solid fuels in an enclosed space. Carbon monoxide detectors to BS EN 50291 are available for use in domestic premises and details are available in the official HETAS guide that can be viewed on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
USING YOUR STOVE THE CONTROLS The heat emitted by the stove is regulated using the following air controls: A) The primary air supply is controlled using the lower air regulators built into the front door. This controls the burn rate and is opened to enable the stove to create more heat.
Avoid using the stove to incinerate other materials including household waste. Avoid using ‘green’ unseasoned wood, treated wood such as telegraph poles, or plywood / chipboard containing glues and resins which pollute the environment and cause the fire to burn too quickly. Such materials can produce excessive tar or creosote which can be damaging and in extreme cases cause a fire inside the chimney.
given off. The gas is not toxic but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn with a high draught until no smells can be detected. Take care not to open the stove doors too vigorously in case of causing smoke spillage.
Wait until the stove has cooled down before doing this. This finish can be renovated with Clarke stove paint,although the paint may not be an exact match and it may be necessary to repaint the complete stove. If the stove is purely ornamental, painting will provide a durable, attractive finish.

(available from your Clarke dealer) must be used, in either aerosol or brush applied form. Should rust become apparent, clean thoroughly with a wire brush and apply a suitable anti-rust treatment. During prolonged periods out of use, the air inlets should be left open and the door left slightly ajar in order to circulate fresh air and discourage condensation from forming which could encourage corrosion.
