PLEASE NOTE
This instruction manual is also used for a number
of other inset stove models in the Hi-Flame product
range and therefore some of the stove photographs
and diagrams used, which are used for guidance
purposes only, may differ slightly from your new
Alpha Inset stove. However, the principles illustrated
here remain the same.

INTRODUCTION
Thank-you for purchasing the Alpha Inset
Boiler stove. We are confident that it will
warm your home even on the coldest winter
days and provide you with many years of
pleasurable heat.
Before you install or operate your inset boiler
stove however, in the interests of safety,
please read this booklet which contains
important safety advice as well as
instructions which will help you make the
most of your new boiler stove.
All users of this stove should be aware of the
contents of this handbook. If other people
are going to operate the stove then please
keep this booklet handy so that it can always
be quickly referred to. Never let anyone use
the stove who is unfamiliar with its correct
operation.
IMPORTANT
Even if you have installed or operated stoves
before, remember manufacturer’s requirements
can vary and can also change with updates to
building regulations. If you are installing this
stove in a UK Smoke Control Area the Alpha
Inset Boiler can only be fuelled with approved
smokeless fuels – it will be illegal to burn wood
in it.
