5. Installation Please read these instructions before installing the appliance. 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.
Changing the flue outlets This appliance is pre-assembled with the flue set to come from the top. When carrying out a survey assess the situation as to the exit of emissions. If the flue is to exit the rear of the appliance then an additional blanking plate should be ordered. If the flueing is to be fitted to the rear, follow these steps. 1) Remove top panel 2) Remove the bolts holding the flue collar.
4) Remove the blanking plate via the bolts. 5) Change over the blanking plate with the flue collar and secure. Seal the joint with fire cement. 6) Ensure the blanking plat e (additional part) is bolted to the underside of the removable top.
Connection to chimney All the stoves have either a top or rear flue outlet adaptor that allows the connection to be made, to either a masonry chimney or a factory-made insulated metal chimney, using a connecting flue pipe. The outlet is designed to fit a connecting flue pipe of 150 mm nominal diameter. The connecting flue pipe and the chimney flue must at no point be less than the diameter of the stove outlet (or equivalent in the case of a square section chimney).
6. Commissioning Before Lighting Ensure that all parts are in position such as firebricks, baffles, grate, riddle plate, fuel retainer bar etc. All castings, joints and door seals must be checked for soundness. Check that the riddling lever, fuel selector lever and the air flow bar operate smoothly. Flue draught When commissioning the installation it may be necessary to carry out a flue draught test. The ideal flue draught is 12pa.
7. Briefing and handover to the customer Explain to the user the full operation of the appliance. Warn the customer that the fire unit will give a temporary odour caused by the paint ‘curing’. This is normal running in of the unit and will disappear after a short period of use. Inform the user not to use the appliance as an incinerator and ex plain the importance of using appropriate fuels. Advise the customer not to over-fire the appliance.
8. Servicing and Maintenance It is important that this appliance is properly installed and regularly maintained. Periods of Prolonged Non-Use If the stove is to be left unus ed for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open. The chimney system should be checked for blockage aft er periods of prolonged shut down.
Paintwork It is generally accepted that stove paintwork may need a light re-spray occasionally after a seasons use, stoves painted in a lighter colour are more likely to require this. Touch-up spray is available from most Chesney’s stockists. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that areas to be sprayed are clean and dry. Make sure that all parts and the surrounding area that do not require paint are properly masked up.
Removal and refitting of the fuel retaining bar To remove the fuel retaining bar lift from the slot in the fire grate and rot ate to clear the sides and door. Cleaning is done using a wire brush. Replace in the reverse order. Removal and refitting of the riddling plate The riddling plate is removable for cleaning and inspection. For easier access remove the fuel ret aining bar and the ashpan, then unhook riddle lever out of the riddle plate hole.
Removal of the main fire grate Ensure that the appliance is cool before starting. Before removing the main fire grate, the fuel retaining bar, ashpan and riddle plate need to be removed. (See ‘Removal and refitting of the fuel retaining bar’ and ‘Removal and refitting of the riddling plate’).
Removal and refitting of the firebricks Always ensure that the appliance is cool before starting any maintenanc e work. Replace any damaged firebricks as soon as possible. When removing the firebricks wear protective clothing and take care when removing as these can become fragile after use. 1. Remove the fuel retainer bar. 2. Take the weight of the baffle in one hand. 3. Turn and slide the baffle out. 4. Remove the side brick. 5. Remove the side brick. 6. The back brick is then removed.
Removal and refitting the baffle plates Wear protective gloves. Removal of these parts also gains access to the flue openings. The first baffle plate is in place on the firebricks. To remove this - follow the instructions ‘Removal and refitting of the firebricks’ steps 1 – 3. (Page 19) The second baffle plate is hooked in place using key-hole slots. To remove, take the weight of the baffle and pull towards you. This will release it from its retaining bolts and it will drop downwards.
Replacing the glass seal Stove glass seals are available from most Chesney’s suppliers. The glass seal is a peris hable item and at some point may need changing. If the seal leaks emissions then it must be replaced. To replace the glass seal see instructions ‘Removal of the glass panel’ ,Page 16, for removing the glass. The glass seal is pressed between the door and glass without the need of glues. The perished seal may stick to the glass panel or door frame and will need removing.

10. User Instructions General Before using this appliance please read these instructions carefully. All local regulations, including those referring to National and European Standards must be complied with when installing this appliance. The builder's opening or fireplace opening must be constructed of a non-combustible material. Before the fire is installed, the chimney should be swept and a flue test in accordanc e with National Regulations should be carried out.
De-ashing and refuelling may occasionally emit fumes into the room. If there are a lot of fumes in the room open a window or door to the outside to ventilate the room. If fume emission persists, open all doors and windows to ventilate the room and eit her allow the fire to burn out or safely dispose of the fuel from the appliance. Do not attempt to relight until the cause of the emission spillage has been corrected. Regularly check ventilation for obstructions inside and outside do not cover vents over.
Lighting Instructions Your Chesneys stove has been designed to operate with minimum effort. The appliance door should be closed except when attending. Lighting the appliance for the first time. Due to the newness of materials, the fire will give off an unpleasant odour for a period of time after commissioning. This is quite normal and should disappear within a few hours of operation. It is preferable to leave the room whilst the curing process is taking place. Have 2 or 3 small fires initially.
Lighting the fire Your Chesneys stove has been designed to operate with minimum effort. It is important that appropriate fuels are used in this appliance. Once set in its fuel position, a Ches neys stove implements a sophisticated air system to control the primary, secondary air and air wash with the use of a very simple single lever control. This results in a very easy and uncomplicated means of control.
Lighting Pull the air flow bar fully out towards you, allowing full primary and secondary air into the stove. (Setting lll) Lay the fire using dry kindling wood and paper or firelighters. Place these on the bas e of the stove and cover with two small split logs. Make sure that the logs are not in contact with the glass when the door is shut as this could cause the glass to blacken and possibly crack. Light the paper or firelighters and close the appliance door.
From time to time the glass may require cleaning as tars and creosotes from the fuels buildup. To reduce this effect do not over fill the appliance and burn newly added logs on ‘high’ output (S etting lll) for a short period before adjusting For a cleaner and more efficient appliance refuel little and oft en. NOTE – Do not leave the appliance on setting lll for too long otherwise the appliance may over heat, this is called ‘Over-firing’ and is not good for the appliance. See ‘Over-firing’ Page 29.
Open the door. Under the grate is a compartment where the ashpan is located this collects the ash and requires emptying from time to time, take care when emptying. Using the gloves provided and the ashpan handle (supplied) hook the handle to the ashpan and carefully remove the ashpan safely away from the appliance and dis pose of the ashes into a non combustible metal ash bin. Do not place hot ashes into a bin made of plastic.
11. Performance tips Useful tips Use good kindling wood to start the fire. Use good quality wood with a moisture content of less than 20%. Only use an approved anthracite or smokeless fuel suitable for closed appliances. Burn at high out puts for short periods to avoid large build-ups of soot on the glass. Provide sufficient amount of air to the appliance to ens ure the fire keeps burning. Ensure the appliance and flue is serviced regularly.
