POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION REGULATORY COMPLIANCE In England and Wales, there are only two routes to legally install a domestic solid fuel or wood burning appliance. In other parts of the UK there are variations in legislation and processes. You can either: •...
When the stove is positioned near a wall constructed of flammable material, the distances shown on Fig 4 must be adhered to. Alternatively, a heat shield may be used, mounted according to the position of the fireplace. A firewall must be at least 100mm thick and typically made of brick, or concrete/stone. MATERIAL CLEARANCES The stove must have a minimum clearance of 1200 mm to a combustible ceiling above.

FIG 5 External flue pipes should be “twin wall”. These retain the heat, enabling it to rise and disperse from the chimney. As an alternative approach, the calculation procedure within BS EN 13384-1 (2005) can be used as the basis for deciding whether a chimney design will provide sufficient draught.
INSPECTION & CLEANING Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry and free from cracks and obstructions. The diameter of the chimney should not be less than 150mm and not more than 230mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined by a suitable method.

(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.

SUITABLE FUELS This stove can be used in smoke controlled zones to burn wood/logs will function with wood or coal, but in general all fuel should be dry and timber should be well seasoned so as to have a moisture content below 20%.
INITIAL SEASONING Follow installation, and before regular use, the stove must be seasoned to prevent cracking of the metal casting. This procedure should also be followed if the stove has not been used for prolonged periods (during the summer months for example) and is carried out as follows: CAUTION: THIS STOVE MUST BE SEASONED BEFORE USE.
6. The burn rate can be reduced by partially closing the air control. FIRE-LIGHTING WITH WOOD 1. Open the air control. 2. Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a reasonable quantity of dry kindling wood. Place 2 or 3 small logs on top. 3.
Be sure to remove the ash when the fire is at its lowest point, such as first thing in the morning. The Clarke Ash Can Filter is ideal for use in conjunction with the Clarke range of vacuum cleaners, for collecting hot ash and debris from stoves.
