    3.1.5 Fuels Only use recommended fuels which are seasoned (or kiln dried) wood logs or smokeless briquetted fuels. The appliance can be damaged by burning petroleum coke, liquid fuels or general rubbish and this will invalidate your warranty and risk your personal safety.

  • Page 6: Ventilation

    If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer/stockist or chimney specialist. If there is no existing chimney then either a solid fuel compatible prefabricated block chimney or a twin-walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 1856 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.

  • Page 7: Material Clearances

    4.7 Hearths: All FDC Taper inset stoves require a 125mm thick non-combustible constructional hearth beneath them to protect the building; this can include any solid non-combustible floor. A non-combustible superimposed hearth forming an apron of at least 225mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either side must also be provided.
  • Page 8 Advise the customer not to run the stove at full output for at 3 – 4 days. Explain that the stoves can provide much more or less than their rated heat outputs depending upon how they are burnt and fuels and fuel loads used. Warn the customer that using excessive air (having the air controls open too wide for too long) can over-fire and irreparably damage the stove.

  • Page 10: Operating Instructions

    Order made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations. The FDC 5i Taper stove has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs. This is conditional upon fitting the supplied secondary air control (air wash) limiters and following the wood burning instructions precisely.

  • Page 11: Cleaning

    Secondary Air (Air Wash) FDC Taper stoves are provided with a sophisticated patented “air wash” system. This secondary air supply to the stove is controlled through a slider assembly located on the top right hand side of the stove.

  • Page 12: Fuels

    Baffle: It is essential to check the top of the baffle for build up of soot and ash regularly when in use and after a long period of no use. From time to time remove the baffle if necessary to ensure that the flue way entrance is clear. 6.4 Fuels The appliance is fitted with a versatile multifuel grate and the appliance has been tested and approved burning dry, well-seasoned logs or Ancit smokeless fuel.

  • Page 13: Notes On Smokeless Fuel (Ancit) Burning

    6.5.4 Primary Air left open Operation with the primary air controls left open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air controls or door left open. 6.6 Notes on Smokeless Fuel (Ancit) burning Ancit, smokeless and coal type fuels require very different burning conditions to log burning.

  • Page 14: Shutting Down

    Loading 3 to 4 medium sized logs will produce a good output with reasonable burn time, generally small logs will burn up quicker producing a high output for a short time and a large log will take longer to burn and produce less output over a given time. These appliances are approved for intermittent operation on wood (0.75 to 1.5 hour burn cycles) although much longer burn times can be achieved by fully loading the firebox, getting the fuel burning well and then shutting the air controls right down (see below).

    7.0 Safety Notes for your guidance FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS – Always use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances in the presence of children, the elderly or the infirm.
