Operating instructions

HEALTH AND SAFET Y PRECAUTIONS
Please take care when installing the stove that the requirements of
the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are met.
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to
come into contact with the skin. In case of contact wash with plenty
of water.
If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please use appropriate protective equipment.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the
stove as this can cause the appliance to emit fumes into the room.
This is particularly necessary if the room is double glazed. It
must be positioned such that it is not liable to blockage.
This stove is not suitable for use in a shared flue system.
In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS.8303 and
BS EN15287-1:2007 must be fulfilled. Local Authority Bylaws and
Building Regulations, including those referring to National and
European Standards regarding the installation of Solid Fuel burning
appliances, flues and chimneys must also be observed.
The outputs were obtained burning seasoned hardwood over a 1.5
hourly re-fuelling cycle.
SPECIFICATION
There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the
appliance is installed to provide combustion air. The combustion air
supply must be via a permanently open vent. Minimum free area is
2
60.5cm .
CHIMNEY
In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily, the chimney
height must not be less than 4 metres measured vertically from the
outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney. The chimney must not
be less than 175 mm (7 inches) internal diameter or 175 x 175mm
internal square. If an existing chimney is to be used it must be swept
and checked, it must be in good condition, free from cracks and
blockages, and should not have an excessive cross sectional area. If
you find that the chimney is in poor condition then expert advice
should be sought regarding the necessity of having the chimney lined.
If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a lining suitable for
Solid Fuel must be used. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire
then the chimney should be swept again, one month after installation
to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference
in combustion between the stove and the open fire.
If there is no existing chimney then a prefabricated block chimney or
a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS EN15287-1:2007 can
be used either internally or externally. These chimneys must be fitted
in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and Building
Regulations.
Anki pumice liners or chimney blocks will give a highly insulated
chimney which will work well with all fuels. For details ring Anki
Chimney Systems on [phone].
Single wall flue pipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the
chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney.
If it is found that there is excessive draw in the chimney then a
draught stabilizer should be fitted.
It is important that there is sufficient draw in the chimney and that
the chimney does not suffer from down-draught. When the chimney
is warm the draw should be not less than 0.10 inches water gauge
(25Pa). If in doubt about the chimney seek expert advice.
HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND
The stove arrives bolted and shrink-wrapped to its pallet which is
intended to be cut up and used for kindling fuel.
The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth and combustible
materials must not be used in the construction of the fireplace unless
adequately fireproofed in accordance with local building regulations.
The hearth must be at least 12mm (0.5inches) thick. The positioning
of the stove and the size of the hearth are governed by building
regulations for Class 1 appliances. These building regulations state
