Handling Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Installation Guide – for use by the installer These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
Hearth Your stove must be installed on a solid, level non‐combustible hearth and with a gap of at least 600mm from any combustible material such as beams or skirting. The hearth does not need to be constructional but must be at least 12mm thick. The hearth protrusion in front of the stove to carpets or wooden floors must be at least 300mm. As it is possible for fuel to fall out on opening the door, a fender must be fitted if the hearth is flush with the carpet. These are just a few hearth specifications.
Chimney This appliance must not be fitted into a chimney serving another heating appliance. It is most important that there is no obstruction in the flue or chimney. Please ensure that any existing chimney is clear of obstruction and swept clean immediately before installation of the stove. If the chimney has been used for an open fire it is recommended that it be swept for again after you have used the appliance for a month.
SUMMARY OF FLUE PROBLEMS eVo5 MS07‐11 08/07/2011
Connection to Chimney Flue A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney. It is important that the connection between the stove spigot and the flue pipe is effectively sealed with cement and/ or glass fibre rope to prevent harmful gases leaking into the room.
Assembly – Small base option The stove will arrive separately from the small base. This base can be easily fitted on site. On opening the stove packaging the first step is to remove the grate and grate support along with the ash pan and log retainer. The stove body can now be attached to the top of the small base. There are 2 holes that allow connection between the small base and the base of the stove, please use the screws provide. (See figure 2 below).
Assembly – Log storage option On arrival your stove will be complete without small base. The log store will be shipped separately. On opening the stove packaging the first step is to remove the grate and grate support along with the ash pan. Next step requires the temperature shield at the top of the log base to be removed. This is done so by loosening the securing clips (See figure 3b). The stove body can now be attached to the top of the log base.
Air Control Requirements when the appliances is used in Smoke Control Areas when burning wood If installing this stove for burning wood in a smoke control area it is a requirement to change the washer that is placed behind the air control slider to allow the required amount of permanent air (see below): eVo5 MS07‐11 08/07/2011
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area.
OPERATION OF STOVE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE STOVE AIR CONTROL AND AIRWASH The air control is in the form of a slider and is situated on the main door assembly. Having the slider pushed to the right (As shown in the diagram above) indicates the intake is closed. When the slider is moved fully to the left the intake is completely open. This particular air intake is adjustable throughout the area right to left to control the total amount of air required for suitable combustion.
Curing the Stove Before lighting the stove, check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks described in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. This curing process may have been undertaken by your installer as part of the stove’s commissioning and handover and the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
Starting and Maintaining the Fire Do not use gasoline, lighter fluid, kerosene or other flammable liquids to start or rekindle the fire for obvious safety reasons. Build a fire directly on the grate with crumpled newspaper, kindling wood and/or commercially available “firelighters”. Do not allow single pieces of paper to float up the chimney especially alight. This is a common cause of a chimney fire and can cause structural damage to the property.
BURNING WOOD IN A SMOKE CONTROL AREA. The eVolution 5 Wood burning stove has been tested by GASTEC under the PD6434 standard and has passed the emission requirements for exemption under the Clean Air Act. Subsequently it has been exempt for use in smoke control areas when burning wood only Smoke emissions from the appliance were measured over three main air control settings representing high, medium and low outputs.
3. Refuelling on to a low fire bed If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke 4.
WARNING NOTE Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de‐ashing and re‐fuelling may occur. However persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be ignored. If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken:‐ a) b) c) d) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room. Let the fire go out Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required.
Cleaning the Stove and Summer Shutdown Only clean the stove when cold. To clean the glass, either use an oven cleaning fluid or dip a wet cloth in the wood ash and gently rub clean. The outside can be cleaned with a soft brush. Use a lint free cloth if necessary but test an area first. Do not use abrasive cleaners as this will remove the paint and may leave a chalky deposit.
Trouble‐Shooting 1. Smoke comes out of the stove when the loading door is opened. • • The chimney cavity into which the 125mm flue pipe has been installed may be less than the minimum requirement. Deposits (soot) may have built up in the chimney and be restricting the flow of waste products. This flow rate is known as the ‘draw’. 2. The Stove does not produce the expected heat into the room.
