The appliance has been developed to burn wood as its primary fuel source. The Blarney is made primarily from cast iron with plates of sheet steel. The fire chamber is internally lined with cast iron firebricks. There is a riddling grate for clearing ash. The stove is equipped with ceramic glass (resistant up to 800 C) this provides an exceptional view of the combustion, whilst also preventing sparks and smoke deposits from escaping.
SECTION TWO: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Please read this guide carefully prior to installation and retain for reference purposes. I. HEALTH AND SAFETY All installation work must meet with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Appropriate protective equipment must be worn to ensure the safety of persons carrying out the installation.
III. CHIMNEY The chimney height must be no less than 4 metres (13ft), measured vertically from the top of the stove to the top of the chimney. It should terminate at least 1 metre above roof level. Optimum internal dimensions of the chimney should be 175mm (7”) or 200mm (8”) either square or round, and must not be less than 125mm (5”) in diameter.

Check the flue is functioning correctly and ensure all products of combustion are vented to the atmosphere through the chimney terminal. Do not use single wall chimney connector pipe as a chimney on any stove. Connect your stove to an approved flue system serving only one appliance.
V. HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND In conformity with Building Regulations, the stove should be installed on a solid, non-combustible surface such as concrete or masonry. This must be at least 125mm (5”) thick. The specified depth may include the thickness of any solid non-combustible floor beneath the hearth. Combustible material should not be placed beneath constructional hearths unless there is an air-space of at least 50mm between the underside of the hearth and the combustible material, or the combustible material is at least 250mm (10”) below the top of the hearth.
VI. VENTILATION If your stove has a lower nominal heat output than 5.0kw, a purpose provided air vent is not usually required. However, one may need to be fitted in small or tightly sealed rooms to ensure the efficient combustion of air. Air openings provided for this purpose must not be restricted.
The appliance must not be left unattended during the initial lighting sequence. • Do not overload the appliance with fuel. • Do not attempt to open the door immediately after igniting the fire. • Do not burn wood containing chemicals such as glue or paint. • Do not attempt to burn any liquid fuel in the stove. • Never use aerosol spray near the stove when it is alight. • If the appliance is left running with the air controls open for extended periods, serious damage can occur.

II. FUME EMISSIONS Occasional fumes from ash clearance and refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission persists, the following immediate actions should be taken: a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room. b) Put the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
