- Page 2 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. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd...

Page 4: Technical Data
The VERONA 11 & 16 stove are made of cast iron and plates of steel metal sheet. The fire chamber is internally lined with cast iron firebricks. There is a turning and extractable grate. The stove is equipped with a panoramic door with ceramic glass (resistant up to 700 ºC) this allows a wonderful view of the flame picture, whilst also preventing outputs of sparks and smoke. There is also the option of a Verona 11 & 16 stove with a hot plate, allowing you to cook on the stove. The appliance is equipped with primary and secondary air controls, by which it is possible to control the burn rate and hence the output of the appliance. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd... -

The selection, installation, correct use and maintenance of wood burning appliances and flue systems are discussed in more detail in the following sections of these instructions. 4.0 THE ‘AIR’ CONTROLS The stove is fitted with controls that adjust the flow of air into the unit. It is very important that these controls are fully understood in order to achieve the best results from your stove. When operating the controls, ensure that they are used in small increments and not changed by large amounts suddenly. Do not use them like an on – off switch. It is important that the following controls are used correctly. The air controls are as follows: • PRIMARY AIR CONTROL • SECONDARY AIR CONTROL (AIR WASH) • THERMOSTAT CONTROL • FLUE PATH SHUTTER CONTROL © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd... - Page 6 ‘air wash system’. It helps to keep sooty deposits from sticking to the glass and obscuring the view of the flames. Having clean glass also improves the heat radiation to be uninterrupted. This control will be used to adjust the combustion rate inside the fire chamber. 4C THE THERMOSTAT CONTROL (lever) The thermostat control can be found at the rear of the stove on the right hand side, it is situated above the direct flue path shutter control (see below for position of flue path shutter) The thermostat control operates a damper that allows air to enter the stove at a controlled rate. It regulates the burn rate of the fire and keeps it at a constant heat output, irrespective of the fuel load (so long as it isn’t empty) When wanting to control the stove using the thermostatic control, the primary and secondary air controls can be shut. According to the chosen position of the thermostat dial, the damper will react slowly and alter the combustible air entering the unit. This is how a fire would naturally respond to changing air supply. As it is a high precision device we recommend moving the lever slowly and with care and never forcing it. The thermostat control must not be used to build the fire up suddenly and then shut it down suddenly. This is of no benefit and may cause serious damage to the internal components of the appliance or control. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd...
- Page 7 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. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd...

Page 8: The Air Controls
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. • Keep all the draft controls fully open till a bed of hot, glowing embers is established. • Once you have some red hot burning embers, open the door and rake the embers evenly over the grate before adding larger pieces of wood. • We suggest that you do not fully load the appliance until you have become completely familiar with the operation of ALL the controls. • For best results, in an ideal situation, open the primary air control one third open and the secondary air control completely open. The output of the appliance can now be controlled using the thermostat control. This is when burning LOGS. • Do not open the loading door too quickly when reloading the appliance as this can cause flames to flash out the door. This occurs when there is unburned fuel and a large amount of gases in the top of the firebox. When the door is opened, oxygen is combined with the gases and these ignite, causing a ‘mini explosion’. • The maximum size of log, when refuelling an established fire, should be 30 cm’s long and 30‐40cm’s in circumference. • Do not burn painted or varnished woods, MDF, oak bark or wood with more than 20% humidity. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd... -
Page 9: Ash Removal
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. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd... -

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 DAILY CARE To keep the surfaces of your appliance bright and clean, a daily wipe over with a lint free cloth, soaked in hot water and a little soap is all that is needed. To buff the cleaned surfaces, a soft, dry, lint free cloth should be used. In order to keep your appliance in tip top condition, it is necessary to wipe up any spills or condensation streaks as soon as is safe to do so. (i.e. when the unit is cold) This will prevent the mark burning onto the appliance and becoming a much tougher stain to remove at a later date, or causing a permanent mark. Try not to use excessive amounts of water when cleaning the appliance. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd... - Page 11 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: Ensure that all the air controls operate smoothly and are free from ash or other foreign bodies. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd...

Page 12: Installation Of The Appliance
• 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. • No flue sharing with other appliances is allowed. • If a rear flue is able to be fitted, the horizontal length must be no longer than 150mm. 13B LINING THE FLUE An insulated chimney is the most efficient and safe way to burn wood. An insulated chimney helps prevent the formation of tar deposits. A standard chimney will gradually get saturated in tar, this is a fire hazard. Tar stains may appear on the surface of the chimney breast inside the property. 14.0 SITING THE APPLIANCE This appliance must not be fitted into a location where it will be impossible to service. The location must comply with the requirements laid down in the building regulations. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd... - Page 13 STOVE CLEARANCES TO NON ‐ FLAMMABLE MATERIALS • The minimum distance from any NON FLAMMABLE object, or one that is NOT sensitive to heat, (stone brick slate etc.) and from materials with non flammable structure, must be 100 mm’s to the rear and on both sides. PLEASE REFER TO BUILDING REGULATIONS “WALLS ADJACENT TO HEARTHS” for further information. Where the hearth abuts a wall and the appliance is more than 50mm but not more than 300mm away: • The thickness of the wall needs to be at least 75mm. • The height of the wall needs to be at least 1.2M above the hearth. 15.0 ADDITIONAL VENTILATION There must be sufficient free air for combustion into the room where the appliance is installed. Permanent openings or vents must not be covered. Vents needs to be positioned carefully, they must be protected from direct wind conditions. A baffle that has been specially designed to fit over the vent will protect it from the effects of wind, but must not restrict the total vent area and must be secured in a way that prevents its movement. Regular inspection of any vents is critical to ensure that the vent has not become restricted. The appliance may require up to 20 m /hour of combustion air. The natural recirculation of air must be guaranteed by having permanent ventilation to the outside. An extractor fan, cooker hood or similar product, installed in the same room, or in a room nearby; that sucks air out (aspirating); may negatively affect the functions of your cooker. If the room contains more than one appliance; of the type that requires combustible air; a calculation will need to be made to re‐calculate the permanent air vent requirement. © 2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd...
