INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT WARNING! AN ACCREDITED HEATING ENGINEER MUST CARRY OUT THE INSTALLATION OF THIS STOVE. ALTERNATIVELY, SHOULD A NONACCREDITED ENGINEER UNDERTAKE THE INSTALLATION, YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CONTROL OFFICER WILL BE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE COMPLETED INSTALLATION UNDER BUILDING REGULATION “J”. IT IS AN OFFENCE UNDER UK LAW, NOT TO COMPLY WITH THIS MANDATORY REQUIREMENT. IF THE STOVE IS NOT FITTED CORRECTLY BY AN APPROVED PERSON, IT COULD RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
THIS STOVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A SUITABLE FLUE OUTLET. Due to high temperature this stove should be located well away from furniture and curtains. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of hot surfaces. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the stove. Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the stove. Keep the stove area clear of combustible materials, flammable liquids or vapours. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CAN BE FATAL.

POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION In England and Wales, there are only two routes to legally install a domestic solid fuel or wood burning appliance. In other parts of the UK there are variations in legislation and processes. You can either: • Use a registered installer who can self certify that the work he does complies with the relevant Building Regulations; or • The consumer applies to their local authority building control department for a building notice, and pays the appropriate fee.
MATERIAL CLEARANCES The stove must have a minimum clearance of 1200 mm to a combustible ceiling above. Fig 3 It is recommended that the stove be installed at least 600 mm from combustible materials. However, any household furnishings should be at least 1000 mm away as they could be adversely affected by heat.
Sizes of flues in chimneys are stipulated in Table 2 of the Building Regulations 2000 Approved Document “J” as follows: 1. Stoves under 20kW rated output which burn smokeless or low volatile fuel require a minimum flue size of 125mm diameter (or rectangular flues having the same cross-sectional area and a minimum dimension not less than 100mm for straight flues or 125mm for flues with bends or offsets). 2.
Fig 4 As an alternative approach, the calculation procedure within BS EN 133841:2005 can be used as the basis for deciding whether a chimney design will provide sufficient draught. If in doubt, consult the Building Regulations. The outlet from a flue should be above the roof of the building in a position where the products of combustion can discharge freely and will not present a fire hazard, whatever the wind conditions.
INSPECTION & CLEANING Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry and free from cracks and obstructions. The diameter of the chimney should not be less than 150mm and not more than 230mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined by a suitable method. The chimney must be swept before connection to the stove.
Stove Air Supplies Permanently open vents as below: Stove with flue draught stabiliser If design air permeability>5.0m3/(h.m2) then 300mm2/kW for first 5kW of appliance rated output 850mm2/kW for balance of appliance rated output If design air permeability<5.0m3/(h.m2) then 850mm2/kW for balance of appliance rated output Permanently open vents as below: Stove with no flue draught stabiliser If design air permeability>5.0m3/(h.
Fig 6: Horizontal register plate with optional vertical rear flue connection Fig 5: Horizontal register plate with top flue connection A non-combustible register plate minimum 1.5 mm thick should be fitted to all installations between the flue and the building structure. It’s suitability and fit should be checked by a qualified stove installation engineer against the current Building Regulations “J”.
CLEANING THE FLUE Access for cleaning the flue should be incorporated in the system other than through the appliance (e.g. a soot door or access through a register plate). Purpose-made soot doors and inspection lengths are available from the Clarke range. Ensure that the whole length of the flue can be reached from the soot door. FUME EMISSIONS To avoid chimney problems, your fire should not be burnt slowly for longer than 12 hours without a period of fast burning.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS Due consideration should be given to the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning following incomplete combustion of solid fuels in an enclosed space. Carbon monoxide detectors to BS EN 50291 are available for use in domestic premises and details are available in the official HETAS guide that can be viewed on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
WARNING: THE TEMPERATURE REACHED BY THESE ITEMS DURING OPERATION MAY CAUSE AN INJURY TO AN END-USER. AS THESE ARE INTENDED TO BE ADJUSTED DURING OPERATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT PROTECTIVE GLOVES ARE WORN WHEN HANDLING THESE PARTS. TYPES OF FUEL A mixture of fuels can be used in conjunction with wood, provided the base of the fire remains as wood or compressed block fuels. Coal products can be added to this, provided the volume of coal products is less than that of other fuels.
The UK Smoke Control Areas web-site (http:/ www.uksmokecontrolareas.co.uk) defines the location of smoke controlled areas throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and lists all fuels which are authorised for use in Smoke Control Areas. INITIAL SEASONING Following installation, and before regular use, the stove must be seasoned to prevent cracking of the metal casting.
quantity of dry kindling wood. Place a small quantity of solid fuel on top. 3. Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door. 4. When the fire is burning strongly, add further fuel. 5. When the stove is hot, reduce the opening of the air controls. 6. The burn rate can be reduced by partially closing the air controls or damper. REFUELLING 1. Always open the door slowly to avoid a sudden rush of intake air and smoke escaping into the room and add fuel. 2.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Fire difficult to start. Wood green, too damp or poor quality. Use recommended fuel. Logs are too large. When lighting, use small, dry kindling. To maintain the fire use split logs. Air starvation. Open upper and lower air controls. Insufficient draught. Check that flue is not obstructed, sweep flue if necessary. Too much draught. Ensure that the lower air control is closed. Partially close the top air control. Excessive draw.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING The inside of the stove may require regular cleaning, especially during periods of peak use, the frequency of this being indicated by experience. It is advisable to wear a dust mask, protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning. Use a stiff brush and industrial type vacuum cleaner to dislodge and remove as much material as possible, starting at the top of the stove and working down to the bottom.
GLASS PANELS Clean any glass panels when cool, avoiding abrasive substances which could scratch the glass and make subsequent cleaning more difficult. Wet logs against a heated glass, a badly aimed poker or heavy slamming of the doors could crack the glass panels. The glass will not fracture with heat. Never replace any broken glass with glass NOT approved for use with cast iron stoves.
