Page 4: Section One
The appliance has been developed to burn wood as its primary fuel source. This stove 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 800ºC) this provides an exceptional view of the combustion, whilst also... -

Due care must be taken to prevent injury. WARNING: Only recommended fuels must be used in this appliance, please see Section Three for details of recommended fuel. II. STOVE INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Any manufacturer’s instructions must not be taken as overriding statutory requirements. †... -
Page 6: Chimney
The installation of this stove is a notifiable building works as defined in the building regulations. It is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the installation is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or is installed by a Competent Person †... -
Page 7: Flue Connection
Avoid using bends greater than 45 degrees to the vertical. WARNING: All joints in the flue system must be effectively sealed. Check the appliance for soundness of seals between castings and main components prior to use. The stove must be connected to the chimney using 125mm (5”) diameter flue pipe and is supplied ready for top or rear flue connection. It is recommended that this connects to 150mm (6”) flue pipe as soon as possible to prevent blockages occurring. This must travel at least 600mm vertically before any change of direction. It is important that connector pipe is made from 24-gauge steel or cast iron and is more than... -
Page 8: Hearth And Fire Surround
IMPORTANT: Do not install the stove in closets or alcoves. Central locations are desirable; however the minimum run of pipe to the chimney should be the deciding factor when choosing a location. Do not store flammable liquids in the same room as the stove. -
Page 9: Ventilation
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. See Building Regulations Document J (Document L in Northern Ireland) for further information and seek expert advice if in any doubt. For every kW above 5.0kW, a permanent vent with a total free area of at least 550mm (22”) should be connected directly to the outside air. Failing this, it should be connected to an adjacent room which itself has a permanent vent of the same size direct to the outside air. An extractor fan must NOT be fitted in the same room as the stove. This can prevent the chimney from drawing correctly, resulting in the emission of fumes into the room. Installation of an extractor fan in an adjacent room may also prevent the chimney from functioning correctly and is not advised. IMPORTANT: On completion of the installation and commissioning, please leave the Installation and User Instructions and leave the User Manual and any operating tools supplied. Explain the correct operation and maintenance of the appliance to the user. -
Page 10: Section Three: Operating Instructions
SECTION THREE: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Prior to using your stove for the first time, it is essential that all requirements detailed in Section Two have been met. With correct installation, operation and maintenance this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. At least once a year before putting your stove into service your chimney flue should be cleaned of soot † and residue. Consult a HETAS registered chimney sweep regarding regular cleaning and maintenance. IMPORTANT NOTES: • 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.

Page 11: Fume Emissions
The most common cause of fume emission is flue way or chimney blockage. For your safety, these must be kept clean at all times. Any permanent air vent provided for combustion must not be blocked off. WARNING: There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove. This can cause the emission of dangerous fumes into the room. III. USE IN A BOAT OR MOBILE HOME Stoves can be used in these environments, however installation and use requires common sense and care. -
Page 12: Fuel
WARNING: Never touch the stove with your bare hands when it is hot. When the stove is in use, all surfaces of the stove will reach high temperatures. Always use appropriate tools and heat-proof gloves to minimise the risk of injury. -
Page 13: Overnight Burning
XII. ASH CLEARANCE AND DISPOSAL The appliance must have ash removed from the ashpan on a regular basis. Ash should be removed from the fire chamber and ashpan using a suitable tool such as a brush or ash vacuum. Never allow ash to accumulate so that it comes into contact with the underside of the grate as this can cause damage. It is important that all air vents are clear of ash and there is no ash build up on baffles or firebricks. This needs to be done as and when necessary to maintain free movement of air inside the stove. The efficient operation of your stove is dependant on correct operation and maintenance. Failure to carry out the removal of ash will significantly reduce output. Ensure ash is cool before emptying into plastic liners or dustbins. CAUTION: Each stove has a kilowatt rating. This is the approximate maximum temperature the casting is able to cope with. It does not relate to heat production which depends on the type and quantity of fuel used. If you require less heat, burn a smaller fire. If the stove becomes white or red hot, spray the fire down with water from a plant spray. -
Page 14: Flue Draughts
1. An air leak in the stove or chimney. 2. Faulty stove or door gaskets, or doors not closed tightly. 3. The stove pipe, outlet or chimney is blocked. 4. The chimney temperature. 5. Obstructions such as trees or buildings close to the top of the chimney. 6. The chimney flue is too large. 7. Vented exhaust fans (such as in a kitchen) are causing low draught and pulling air downwards. CAUTION: Some of these situations can cause down draught which is dangerous. Seek expert advice. † If you have doubts about any of these issues, do not use the stove and contact a HETAS registered installer immediately. XIV. MAINTENANCE It is essential to regularly maintain your stove and clean you chimney. Failure to do so can cause poisonous gases to enter your home. The stove should only be cleaned when it is cold. DAILY CARE: A daily wipe-over with a lint-free cloth, hot water and soap is sufficient to clean the stove on a daily basis. The door glass can be cleaned with glass cleaning liquids purchased from stove shops, and a dry cloth. REGULAR CARE: The stove should be inspected for fly ash build up bi-monthly during the heating season. - Page 15 BAFFLE PLATE CLEANING: The baffle plate must be checked once a month and cleaned of any deposits. This must only be done when the stove is cold. The baffle plate should be removed and any build up of soot or fly ash brushed away. SHUTTING DOWN: If the stove is not to be used for a long period, all ashes should be removed. Use a vacuum cleaner nozzle to remove ash from the base of the stove. Store the stove in a dry place, with the door slightly ajar, to avoid corrosion. XV. DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY 504-1010 Series 14 | 15...
