- Page 2 To maintain adequate heat in the firebox, it is very important to use dry, well seasoned wood with less than 20% moisture content. The wood must be correctly sized for the particular appliance and it also helps to have at least three or four pieces burning at the one time to assist the combustion process. Adding single pieces of unseasoned or wet wood to a fire will reduce the firebox temperature and prevent adequate combustion. This will result in increased smoke emissions causing the flue and internal components of the appliance to become blocked with tar and creosote more quickly. The tar and creosote deposits in the chimney will fuel a chimney fire. Please note that it is a requirement under the Broseley Fires Ltd’s warranty system that the installation of the stove is carried out by a Competent Person registered with a Government approved Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their Registered Competent Persons can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk. ...

Page 7: Fuel Options
5. FUEL OPTIONS These appliances have been designed to burn wood as their primary fuel source. Do not burn wood that contains chemicals (e.g. paint and glue). You need to use well seasoned wood to get the best results from your stove, logs should have a moisture content of less than 20%. 5A BURNING WOOD Hardwoods and softwoods both have the same calorific value (by weight), however softwoods will burn nearly twice as fast as hardwoods. Most firewood you purchase will be green and have a fair amount of water content. It will need to be stored in a well ventilated shelter to season it. Wood used in this appliance must have a moisture content of less than 20%. Damp or wet wood will quickly form tar deposits on all the internal areas where the combustible gasses travel. They will coat the chimney/flue with tar and soot therefore increasing the risk of a chimney fire.. Always use good quality wood, store it under cover in a well ventilated area. Avoid burning oak bark, as this forms tar at a very fast rate. When selecting wood, also take into consideration ease of splitting, ease of ignition and burning, how much smoke it produces and its "coaling" qualities. "Coaling" refers to the ability of a species of wood to form a long‐ lasting bed of hot coals when burned. Coaling qualities improve with higher density. 5C Hot Plate Operation To operate your hot plate on your stove lift the hot plate cover upwards, always using the glove supplied, until the catch at the rear is locked into place, to prevent the cover from falling. To lower the hot plate, release the catch (using the tool supplied) and slowly lower the hot plate cover back into place, using the glove supplied. Familiarise your self with this operation whilst the stove is cold. 6.0 INITIAL BURNING AND CURING OF THE APPLIANCE The first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an odour given off. This is the components of the appliance curing. It will be necessary to ventilate the room in which the appliance is sited. The first firing needs to be done carefully to allow all of the components of the appliance to settle gradually. Never try to run the appliance flat out the first time you light it. Gradually build up the output of the fire so that no sudden stresses are put on the components of the appliance. ... -
Page 8: Lighting And Maintaining A Log Fire
6A. USING YOUR STOVE ‐ IMPORTANT NOTES: • Serious damage can result if the appliance is left running with the air controls fully open for extended periods. • Make sure that none of the doors are left open while the appliance is in operation. • Never leave the appliance unattended during the initial lighting sequence. • Do not attempt to open the door immediately after igniting the fire. This could cause a flame flash out. • Always wear the protective gloves when operating the appliance. • Never burn enhanced fuels such as ‘Petrocoke’ • Do not overload the appliance with fuel. • Never use chemicals or fluids such as gasoline, charcoal lighter, drain oil or kerosene to light a fire. • Using the appliance on a very low output will cause excessive amounts of tar to build up inside the flue and can be a serious fire risk, as this will fuel a chimney fire. • We advise that you have the appliance serviced annually by a competent heating engineer before the beginning of a new heating season. 7.0 LIGHTING AND MAINTAINING A LOG FIRE All chimneys and flues act differently. After a while, you will find out how your unit works best for starting. • Use scrunched up paper and dry kindling to start the fire. Lay these on the grate. • Open the primary and secondary air controls. The thermostat control should be set to number 5. • The ignition control should be pushed in. This will open the damper to the chimney fully and create the best condition for the lighting of the fire. • It will take a few minutes for the fire to establish itself. • When the fire is burning hot, add small pieces of hardwood. ... -
Page 9: Ash Removal
8.0 ASH REMOVAL • The removal of the ashes should be done when the appliance is cold. Ashes must be removed periodically for the correct and efficient operation of your appliance. Do not wait till the ash pan's completely full. The frequency of this ash removal will depend on the fuel being as they burned, ie. Softwood or hardwood create differing amounts of ash. Keep in mind that cleaning your appliance boosts its efficiency, as ash, soot or tar deposits will block the heat from coming out of the appliance and the hob. Excess ash in the pan can cause the fire to go out and may also cause severe damage to your grates. It will also block the damper control located at the rear of the ash pan chamber. If there is ash inside the ash pan chamber, this will also need removing. If not removed it may get pushed into the damper control aperture; located at the rear of the ash pan chamber; preventing the thermostat control from working correctly. Periodical inspection is recommended. Take care when removing the ash, as small bits of hot embers can stay dormant for long periods when buried in ashes. These will then flare up again when exposed to oxygen, some knowledge of proper ash removal is required for safety. Here are the important points: Remove ashes to a metal container using a small trowel. Never vacuum the ashes unless it is a genuine Ash Vac’. ‘ This is a vacuum you can buy at hearth shops, it is specifically designed for ash removal. • Place the filled ash bucket on a non‐combustible surface such as stone, concrete, brick, or slate, as the heat will transfer through the bottom of the container. Fit a lid for extra safety. For your own protection, a pair of heat proof gloves and a dust mask may be necessary. WOOD ASH DISPOSAL The best thing to do with your ashes is to put them in your garden. Wood ashes are high in potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Wood ash will make your soil more alkaline, so apply it appropriately for your soil. In areas where of high rainfall, this is a benefit because the soils there are typically acidic. Dry areas tend to have more alkaline soil, so adding wood ash might be a problem. If you have no garden, you can dispose of completely cold ash with your household trash. Place it in a tightly closed bag to keep it contained. ... -

10.0 OPERATING IN TRANSITION PERIODS (Summer) When the outside temperature gets to be more than the temperature within the property, there is a strong possibility of the flue working in reverse. If the appliance is not lit, this will cause the draught of the flue to travel in a downward direction and the smell of smoke will be obvious in the room. If you experience problems lighting the appliance because of the greater outside temperature, then it will be necessary to warm the flue before loading the appliance with kindling. There are various methods for this procedure. Ask your local supplier or registered chimney sweep for advice. If the fire is lit, the heat output of the appliance is often reduced and the exhaust gases may not come out the chimney completely. This can cause them to come back into the room. In this case, • shake the embers more frequently, • increase the air for combustion and • only load a reduced quantity of fuel. This will help to keep the chimney hot and working efficiently. Check that all the seals of the appliance are in good order and that the connections to the chimney are also sound. 11.0 MAINTENANCE ‐ CLEANING THE APPLIANCE Take great care choosing the products you use to clean your appliance. A major amount of cleaning can be carried out using hot soapy water and a soft cloth. Using the wrong products will cause damage to its surfaces. Never use bleach or chlorine based products, caustic cleaners, paint solvents, biological powders, coarse abrasives or salt. Never mix different products as they may cause a chemical reaction with each other and cause harm to either you or the appliance. 12A RECOMMENDED CLEANING PRODUCTS For the more stubborn stains, a mildly abrasive cleaner should be used, such as ‘Astonish’. This is safe to use on enamel surfaces. Do not use Astonish on the chrome components. For any further information, please contact your Dealer! 12B ... -
Page 11: Glass Cleaning
12D ASH REMOVAL: The appliance need to have the ash removed from the ash pan and fire chamber on a regular basis. You can remove the ash from the fire chamber and ash pan by using a suitable tool (i.e a brush or specialised ash vacuum) You need to insure all air vents are clear of ash, there is no ash build up on baffles or firebricks and that excess build up of ash is removed from all parts of the stove. This needs to be done as and when necessary to maintain free movement of air inside the stove. The efficient operation of your appliance is dependant on its correct operation and maintenance. Leaving soot to accumulate inside the areas mentioned above, will drastically reduce the output of the appliance and prevent it from doing what it is designed to. 12E GLASS CLEANING: There are various glass cleaners you can buy at stove shops that are specially designed to remove hydrocarbon (soot) and fly ash (mineral) deposits from the glass. Follow the manufacturers instructions. Typically, just spray a small amount of cleaner on the glass and use a paper towel or rag to wipe it clean. If you only burn logs in your appliance, then you can dip a damp cloth in the ash and use this to scrub the glass clean. 12F FLUE MAINTAINENCE: If your appliance is installed into an existing chimney, you will need to clean the chimney as well as the flue pipe at least twice a year. To do this you will need the appropriate sized chimney brush and rods. Call a certified chimney sweep (National Association of Chimney Sweeps) or other qualified professional to clean the flue system. These professionals have the equipment and the experience to do a thorough job. The sweep will advise you as to the intervals that you should have your flue swept. We would recommend that you have it swept at least twice a year, but you may need to sweep it more. Get them to inspect the condition of all the associated chimney items at the same time. Be sure to check the pipe at least once every six months to determine if it has corroded. 12G ROPE SEALS: For the appliance to operate correctly, it is important that all the seals; where fitted; are in good condition and are sealing correctly. They should be replaced if they are showing excessive signs of fraying and are not making a good seal. They are glued into position using a high temperature, flexible, silicone sealant 12H AIR CONTROLS: ... -
Page 12: Flue Requirements
13.0 INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE 13.A FLUE REQUIREMENTS The chimney is possibly the most important part to your installation; great care should be given to its design. An older chimney, in need of repair, is a fire hazard in any installation. The chimney must be thoroughly swept, checked for soundness and suitability, before any connection is made to the appliance. This must be carried out by a qualified person. A “Declaration of Completion” certificate must be obtained by the end user for the installation, failure to obtain this document may void the products warranty. • This appliance must be installed into a ‘Class 1 Chimney’. If there is no existing chimney, then an approved solid fuel, factory built, prefabricated block type or a twin walled, stainless steel flue can be used. Get advice from a qualified chimney engineer. • The flue diameter of this appliance must be a minimum of 150mm. • In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily, the chimney height must not be less than 4 meters measured vertically from the stove outlet to the top of the chimney. • Adequate access for sweeping the flue, such as a soot door, must be provided. This will dramatically improve the ease of cleaning and sweeping of the flue. • Flue pipe should be fitted inside the flue pipe collar (spigot) to prevent creosote and condensates from running down onto the top of the appliance. • All flue pipe has to be suitable for solid fuel and fitted in accordance with building regulations, whilst complying with current legislation and manufacturers’ instructions. • If excessive draw is present, then a suitable draught stabilizer should be fitted. This must be fitted in the same room as the appliance is located. • If the chimney suffers from down draught, then a special ‘anti‐downdraught’ cowl will need to be fitted. In exposed windy locations, a ‘stabilizing’ cowl may need to be fitted. The minimum cowl requirement that we recommend, is a rain cowl with a bird guard. •... -
