General Specifications - Fox Fire Freestanding Stove Class 1: BS EN 13240:2001 + Amd 2:2004. For Intermittent use only. Unsuitable for use in a shared flue system. Use only recommended fuels. Table 1 Air Inlet grills must be so positioned that they are not liable to blockage.
Cautionary Notes on Use De-Ashing To ensure that the stove will not overfire whilst the door is open, we would strongly recommend that de-ashing is only undertaken when the fuel load is almost exhausted, the stove is out or in a very low state. Maximum Temperature - Over-firing the Stove - Use Beyond the Rated Output The stove body is designed to run up to a maximum temperature not exceeding 700F or 400C (the stove firedoor must be kept shut at all times except when re-fuelling or de-ashing the stove).
SUPER IMPOSED HEARTH In certain circumstances Building Regulations allow for a super imposed hearth. This must be a minimum 12mm non- combustible material e.g. slate, glass, steel. When the stove is raised 100mm or more (with Woodwarm accessories e.g. legs, plinth, pedestal) the hearth temperature does not exceed 100°c, which complies with Building Regulations.

INSTALLING THE STOVE Remember to leave sufficient clearance in front of the stove for the fire door to open fully. Place stove on chosen level hearth and remove any packaging materials. The shrink polythene can be used as a cover for the stove whilst installation is in progress as fire cement will mark the stove paint surface if left.
Fitting of Fire Board and Baffle Diagram 3 Baffle Baffle Support Pins Baffle Gusset Side Fire Board Rear Fire Board FIRE DOORS FOR ALL MODELS Check when refitting the fire door that the rope seal on the inner face of the door is making an even contact with the stove body when the door is closed.
GLASS PANELS AND CLEANING There are two panels of glass in each door. They are made of a heat resistant ceramic product which will not break with the heat of the fire. However, it is important to maintain the movement of the glass within the door as, if the glass is restricted, it is likely to crack with the expansion or contraction of the cast door.
DE-ASHING Using the tool provided (shown in yellow) the grate is gently and NOT FORCEFULLY rotated clockwise to open and to de-ash and anti-clockwise to close and for the wood burning mode. A GENTLE ROCKING movement will dislodge all but the largest clinkers through to the ashpan. Too much riddling/poking can result in unburnt fuel being emptied into the ash pan and should be avoided.
Recommended fuels SOLID FUEL The recommended fuels for this stove are broad based long flame fuels as burnt on an open fire. ‘Homefire’ or ‘Ancit’ are such fuels. However, if you have any queries consult your Approved Coal Merchant Scheme member for types and availability.

A routine should be established of :- Daily - run the stove hot for a time using the procedure as explained on pages 12 and 13, along with a surface mounted thermometer to ensure optimum temperature is reached. This will assist in cleaning any marginal depos- its of tar from the door glass, stove, flue and chimney internally.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WOODWARM FIREVIEW STOVES Before lighting check with the installer that the work and checks described in the previous pages of this booklet have been carried out correctly and that the chimney is sound, has been swept and is free from any obstructions. HOW CLEAN BURN WORKS The stoves utilise long preheated air inlet ducts venting the air to the stove at the front top of the door aperture.
A) When lighting or refuelling the stove allow it to reach operating temperature every time, before attempting to close the air wash control lever. The glass will get dirty if the stove body has not reached the optimum temperature first and clean burn will not be achieved.
Chimney Fires If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur turn the air control setting to the minimum, and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out in which case the control should be kept at the minimum setting until the fire in the stove has gone out.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RELIGHT THE FIRE UNTIL THE CAUSE OF THE FUMES HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, IF NECESSARY SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE THE WOODWARM STOVES GUARANTEE Metal Developments Ltd offer a five year guarantee which covers the main structure of the stove including the construction and quality of workmanship.
