Important Notes - Stanley Ardmore Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Now that your Solid Fuel Stove is installed and no doubt you are looking forward to many comforts it will pro-
vide, we would like to give you some tips on how to get the best results from your stove.
1. We would like if you could take some time to read the operating instructions/hints, which we are
confident, will be of great benefit to you.
2. Do not burn fuel with a high moisture content, such as a damp peat or unseasoned timber. This will
only result in a build up of tar in the stove and in the chimney.
Anthracite 25-50mm
House Coal 25-75mm
Timber - Firebox size
Peat Briquettes
3. Clean the flue-ways of the stove weekly and ensure that there are no blockages. Check flueways
before lighting especially after a shut down period. Please refer to manual for instructions.
4. Before loading fresh fuel into the firebox, riddle fully to remove all ashes this will allow better and
cleaner burning. See Re-Fuelling section.
5. Never allow a build up of ashes in the ash pan, as this will cause the grate to burn out prematurely.
6. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty of air for combustion.
7. Do not use as an incinerator burning rubbish/household waste.
8. Do not leave door open for long periods as this will over heat the unit causing unnecessary
damage.
9. Clean the chimney at least twice a year.
10. Burning soft fuels such as timber and peat will stain the glass. Regular cleaning will prevent
permanent staining. Clean with soapy water when cool.
11. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance away from unit, please see section for clearances
to combustibles.
12. Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
13. For safety reasons never leave children or the elderly unaccompanied while stove is in use. Use a
fire guard.
14. Avoid contact with the appliance when in use as stove reaches very high operating temperatures.
15. This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer.
Use only replacement parts recommended by Stanley. Making unauthorised modifications, or using unautho-
rised parts will invalidate your guarantee and may cause damage or injury.
AN ODOUR WILL EMIT FROM STOVE ON FIRST FIRING, WHEN FIRE REACHES MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURE OVER A NUMBER OF HOURS THE ODOUR WILL SUBSIDE.
IT IS BEST ADVISED TO OPEN WINDOWS DURING THIS PERIOD.
THE ODOUR IS UNPLEASANT BUT NOT TOXIC. YOU MAY WISH TO VACATE THE ROOM WHILE THE
PAINT CURES.
