Operating instructions

Connect the ue pipe to the stove making sure that it ts snugly
into the base of the ue collar . Seal the collar and ue connection
with re cement or with other suitable high temperature sealant.
Add ue sections as required; note that all ue sockets must face
upwards. Ensure that the ue pipe end is no closer than 76mm
to the side or rear of the chimney walls. It is essential that all
connections between the stove and the chimney ue are sealed
and made airtight.
Avoid using bends greater than 45° to the vertical (Fig 7). All ue
pipes should be as close to vertical where possible. For rear ue
connection the length of the horizontal run of the ue pipe should
not exceed 150mm (Fig 8). Both chimney and ue pipe must be
accessible for cleaning and if ALL parts of the chimney cannot
be reached, a soot door must be tted to enable this to be done.
This product must not be installed on a shared ue.
Flue Draught
The chimney should be checked before the stove is installed to
ensure that there is adequate ue pull. The draught can be checked
initially by using a smoke match close to the ue opening. If the
chimney doesn’t pull the smoke it may suggest that the chimney
needs further attention. Any remedial work to the chimney ue
should be carried out by a suitably qualied engineer.
A ue draught of minimum 12 Pascal to maximum 25 Pascal is
required for satisfactory appliance performance. The ue draught
should be checked under re at high output and if it exceeds the
recommended maximum a ue draught stabiliser (or ue damper
as it is also known) must be tted so the rate of burning can be
controlled and prevent overring.
Flue Damper (Not Supplied)
When burning wood, a ue damper may be tted to reduce the
draught through the stove if the draught is too high. When the
damper is set in the open position the chimney draws at full
draught, increasing the volume of air ow through the stove and
ue. Shutting the damper restricts the ow, slowing the rate of
burning. The damper should be tted to the stove ue and should
be the same size as the ue pipe. As a rule it should be tted no
closer than 700mm from the ue outlet of the appliance.
A ue damper should not be tted when burning solid fuels
other than wood.
Room Ventilation
For safe operation this stove must be provided with combustion
air supply in addition to normal room ventilation, in accordance
with Building Regulations. Minimum ventilation requirements vary
depending on whether the dwelling is considered to be of standard
construction or of airtight construction, or if a ue draught stabiliser
has been tted. The required open air vent sizes are as follows:
Table 4 - Additional Room Ventilation Required
Standard build dwellings {air permeability >5.0m³ /(h.m²)}
No Flue Stabiliser 39 cm²
With Flue Stabiliser 75 cm²
Airtight build dwellings {air permeability ≤5.0m³ /(h.m²)}
No Flue Stabiliser 66 cm²
With Flue Stabiliser 102 cm²
The air inlet is located on the rear of the stove (see ‘X’ Fig 4) and
must be positioned with at least 30mm clearance - it must not be
blocked under any circumstance. Direct air supply to the stove
can also be made by connecting the air inlet to an external wall
vent using standard 4” exible aluminium ducting. Plastic ducting
must not be used.
An extractor fan must not be used in the same room as this
appliance.

Floor Protection & Installation Clearances
In all instances the stove must be positioned on a non-combustible
hearth that conforms to Building Regulations and is rm, secure
and capable of supporting the stove. Care should be taken to
ensure the stove is level.
The stove can be installed in suitably sized recess, either purpose
built or an existing replace. In this instance Building Regulations
require that a solid constructional hearth of minimum 125mm must
be used, including the thickness of the oor and any decorative
top surface (e.g. tiling). We recommend a minimum air circulation
space of at least 150mm around the sides and rear and 300mm
above the top to obtain maximum heat output and for access to
the rear of the stove.
Building regulations stipulate minimum wall clearances for stoves
from adjacent walls and constructional hearth (Table 3 & Fig 5).
The stove can also be installed freestanding in the room. In this
instance a reduced thickness hearth may be used, which must
be made from non-combustible board, sheet or tiles of minimum
thickness12mm. (Fig 6) shows the minimum distances required
from the hearth edge to the sides of the stove.
In all cases allow an apron of at least 300mm at the front of the
stove in case of spills when de-ashing.
Table 5 shows the minimum safe distances to combustable
materials which must be observed in all installations.
Any surrounding combustible material should not exceed 80°C,

Existing Fireplace
An existing replace opening can be bricked up or sealed with a
register plate, 2.5mm sheet steel or concrete. A short length of
ue pipe may then be used to connect the stove to the chimney.
Ideally the old replace should be lled in so that there is a smooth
streamlined entry into the ueway. (Fig 8)
Typical installation for Inglenook Fireplaces
Inglenook replaces can have very large bore chimneys (Fig 9).
Check with your installer – you may need a stainless steel exible
ue liner for solid fuel tting.
Commissioning
Upon completion of installation, the stove and ue system should
be tested by a suitably qualied person to make sure it is safe for
normal use. A smoke draw test should be completed to check for
soundness of joints and seals and also that all smoke and fumes
are taken from the appliance up the chimney and emitted safely.
First warm the ue with a blowlamp or similar for about 10 minutes.
Place a lit smoke pellet on the centre of the grate with the air
controls open. Close the door – the smoke should be drawn up the
ue and be seen to exit from the ue terminal. Complete the test
with all windows and doors shut in the room where the appliance
is tted.
If a ceiling fan is present it must be operated on max for the duration
of the test. If there are any extraction fans in adjacent rooms these
too must be operated on maximum setting during the test with the
interconnecting doors open. If any spillage occurs, recheck the
suitability of the ue system making sure there is adequate air
supply to the room (as per Building Regulations).
Light the appliance and slowly increase the temperature to
operating levels. Open the main re door when the appliance
reaches normal operating condition and carry out a spillage test
using a smoke match or pellet around the door opening. If any
spillage occurs, open all windows, allow the re to go out and
recheck the ue system and ventilation.
