Note: This appliance is heavy and must be handled with care.
  • Page 16 This should be maintained and tested in accordance with the manufactures instructions. Hearths All Chesneys freestanding wood and multi fuel stoves can be fitted on a 12mm hearth providing there is sufficient load-bearing capacity. The inset Apollo’s must be fitted on a full constructional hearth.
  • Page 17 Flue Requirements The chimney must be swept before installation and checked for soundness and suitability. The chimney must also be free from cracks and blockages. If you find the chimney is in a poor condition then expert advice should be sought If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred...
  • Page 18: Installation

  • Page 19: Converting Top To Rear Exit

    5. Converting Top to Rear Exit The Apollo stoves cannot be rear exit. All other stoves can be converted and are pre-assembled for a top exit. A blanking plate is available please contact your local stockists. Fire Cement Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin.
  • Page 20 10) Refit fire cube, loosely secure fire cube to the cladding using the levelling bolts to line up fire cube with cladding. When in position tighten the four securing bolts. 11) Replace door and rear convector panel and place decorative blank on top of stove cladding.
  • Page 21: Smoke Control

    6. Smoke Control The Chesney’s 4,5,6,8 series stoves are DEFRA exempt appliances that can be used in Smoke Control Zones. The “Smoke Tab” is fitted on the underside of the fire cube on the left hand side and must be removed with the retaining bolt and discarded. The Milan and Shoreditch stoves have heat shields under the stove that will have to be removed by undoing the four hexagonal bolts to reveal the “Smoke Tab”.
  • Page 22 The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area.
  • Page 23: Apollo 4 & 8 Installation

    7. Apollo 4 and 8 Installation The Apollo range of inset stoves have been designed to be installed in two stages. The outer casing needs to be installed before the fire cube, and the outer frame and door will need to be removed to install this appliance. 1) Remove all internal parts (baffles, side and rear bricks, solid fuel grate and ash pan (8 series only).
  • Page 24: Chimney Connection

    Chimney Connection 1) Drop the liner through the outer casing and fix the flue adaptor, then fit the flue collar to the adaptor bending the adaptor lugs to secure the collar to the adaptor. 2) On the 8 series only there is an additional directional flue collar that bolts to the inside of the outer casing.
  • Page 25: Door Seal Replacement & Door Handles

    8. Door Seal Replacement and Door Handles Always use gloves when handling ceramic rope. Apollo and Milan Remove door from the stove and remove rope seal clamps. Discard old rope seal and replace with Chesney’s rope seal. Do not tighten rope seal clamps until all bots are in and hand tight, then tighten all bolts.
  • Page 26: Commissioning

    9. Commissioning Check all internal parts are fitted correctly and there are no gaps between the firebricks and baffles and the log retainer is secure: Wood Burning Only 4,5 and 12 Series Secondary baffle. Firebricks: base, back, sides and baffle.
  • Page 27 Door Seal Testing and Adjustment Without a good sound airtight seal around the door the stove will not work as designed and will lead to the glass blackening and a loss of control. Over time the rope seal compresses and the seal between the door and the fire cube is compromised resulting in the need to replace the rope.
  • Page 28 Apollo models The frame and door retainer must be removed before the door can be removed see Apollo information pages. Then rotate the hinge pin clockwise or anticlockwise as described. Alpine models The door will have to be removed as described in the Converting Alpine to rear exit section.
  • Page 29: The Curing Process

    10. The Curing Process Your Chesney’s stove has been designed to operate with minimum effort. As with all wood burning and multi fuel stoves your new stove will need to be ‘cured’ before commencing normal use. For the first lighting of the stove after installation it is VERY IMPORTANT that the door remains slightly ajar during the first firing.
  • Page 30: Stove Paint Application Instructions

    11. Stove Paint Application Instructions Chesney’s stove paint is quality, fast drying high temperature paint for use on wood, multi-fuel and gas stoves and other steel and cast iron products with in- service temperatures to 650°C. This product is not recommended for Vitreous Enamelled surfaces.
  • Page 31: First Lighting & Operation

    12. First Lighting and Operation This appliance is not to be used as an incinerator. Only HETAS approved wood logs and smokeless fuels are recommended by Chesneys for use in this appliance. This appliance is design to operate with the door closed, except for lighting and reloading, failure to close the door during operation will result in fume spillage.
  • Page 32 The Wood Range 4 and 5 Series. These are designed for wood burning only although, there is a “drop in multi fuel-grate” available to convert to coal burning from your stockist. There is one Air Control Lever - The Air Flow Bar that automatically distributes the air for combustion into the top or rear of the furnace.
  • Page 33 Riddling lever illustrated with the red arrow below Air flow bar. Air Flow Bar Settings...
  • Page 34 Wood Setting Wood Setting Setting III primary and secondary air open fully. Air bar is fully extended. Setting II primary air shut secondary open fully. Air bar partially extended. Between setting II and I primary air shut secondary partially open. Setting I primary and secondary air closed.
  • Page 35 Double Sided 10 Series Wood Burning Stove The Double Sided10 has a single air control lever; this controls both primary and secondary air into the stove. With the control rod fully out the maximum air is entering the stove at the top (pre heated air wash) and at the base of the firebox.
  • Page 36 Wood Burning 12 Series The 12 series has a single air control lever; this controls both primary and secondary air into the stove. With the control rod fully out the maximum air is entering the stove at the top front (air wash) and through the rear bricks. When the control rod is pushed in the air is reduced proportionally between the air wash and the rear brick to give the best “burn”.
  • Page 37 Baffle The baffle is made up of 4 main parts. The secondary baffle is secured to the top underside of the stove using the slots provided, it’s removed by sliding to the rear of the stove. The main baffle rests on top of the side bricks. It is removed by “folding” in the side bricks, it can then be removed through the front of the stove.
  • Page 38 The Baffle By-pass can be adjusted by undoing the M6 nut and rotating the baffle actuation rod in or out, then retighten the M6 nut. Close the door and check the position of the Baffle By-pass, it should fit flush to the main baffle when the stove is cold.
  • Page 39 Lighting Open the door place a firelighter at the back of the furnace put 6-8 pieces of kindling on top of the firelighter. Place 2 split logs on top of the kindling, set the Air Flow Bar to setting III fully extended. Light the firelighter. If condensation appears on the glass when the door is closed leave ajar and it should clear in a minute or two.
  • Page 40 The majority of air for combustion in the coal setting comes from under the grate below the fuel. This action reduces the ability of the air wash system and some blackening of the glass may occur. When the solid fuel has an even glow over the fuel bed set Air Flow Bar to desired setting.
  • Page 41: Maintenance

    13. Maintenance Guarantee Your Chesneys stove comes with a 5 year guarantee on the stove body and a 12 month warranty on the non consumable parts such as the door, handle, hinges and air plates. Consumable items such as fire bricks, baffles, glass, rope seal, ash pans and grids are consumable items and are not covered by a warranty.
  • Page 42 All controls free and smooth to operate. The installation and flue connection should be checked and the chimney swept annually.
