SERRANO MULTIFUEL STOVES INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Thank You May we take this opportunity to thank you for choosing a Serrano, cast iron Multi-fuel stove. Please take time to read this manual and follow the guidelines on how to install and operate your new stove, as we feel sure it will enable you to use it to its best advantage for many years. The term multi-fuel refers to the fact that the appliance is capable of burning both wood and coal.
INSTALLATION OF STOVE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION 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 protrusion in front of the stove to carpets or wooden floors must be at least 300mm. As it is possible, that on opening the door of the stove for fuel to fall out, a fender must be fitted if the hearth is flush with the carpet. These are just a few hearth specifications.
If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations. The liner diameter must not be less than 6”. If the draw on the chimney is excessive, a flue draught stabiliser will help to slow this down.
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.
STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR FITTING NEW SERRANO FIREBRICK SETS Please remove Grate and Ash pan before fitting fire bricks STEP 1. Fit Left Side Brick first with angle facing rear of stove. Smooth side of cast facing inwards. STEP 3. Insert Baffle Brick with the cut outs towards the rear of stove and the smooth side facing downwards. Push to the top of stove with one hand while placing right side brick into position STEP 2. Insert Right Side Brick same as step 1 Then lay down flat on base casting. STEP 4.
Commission/Handover Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions for “Assembly” given above. On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.
OPERATION OF STOVE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE STOVE Controls Layout (Similar function on all models) PRIMARY AIR INTAKE The primary air intake is in the form of a slider and is situated on the main door assembly. Having the slider pushed to the left (As shown in the diagram above) indicates the intake is closed. When the slider is moved fully to the right the intake is completely open.
SECONDARY AIR INTAKE The secondary air intake is in the form of a lever and is situated under the ash lip at the front of the stove. Having the lever to the left indicates the air intake is closed. Having the lever fully to the right indicates the air intake is open. This particular air intake is adjustable through 180˚ so the lever can control the total amount of air required for suitable combustion The secondary air intake works by opening 2 flaps located at the back of the stove.
Ash Pan The ash pan can be removed using the double end of the poker which fits under the top lip of the ash pan. Care must be exercised when opening the ash pan door as the handle and this part of the stove will be very hot. Use the glove provided. Do not put hot ashes into anything other than a metal container unless you know the ashes are cold.
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 stoves’ commissioning and handover and the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
Under NO circumstances burn ‘petroleum coke’ as it will burn out the internal grate and baffle plates in a very short period of time and may damage the stove beyond repair. Only burn dry, seasoned wood. This will give a good heat yield and help to keep the glass clean. A growing tree contains 50-95% water. Burning unseasoned wood turns most of the energy released into water vapour which goes into the flue and little heat is given off to the room.
BURNING WOOD LOGS If you are only burning wood logs, you may allow a bed of ash to build up on top of the grate to a level of about 20mm forming a flat surface on which the wood may burn. You will then use the “air-wash” front lever to provide the combustible air and control the burn rate of the fire. For fully open, turn the lever to the right. By turning the lever gradually you will be able to control the rate of burn – fully open being the fastest burn producing most heat.
Chimney Fires If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur turn the air control setting to the minimum, and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out in which case the control should be kept at the minimum setting until the fire in the stove has gone out. The chimney and flueways should then be cleaned.
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.
