Stove Safety When properly maintained and operated your stove should give you many years of service. However, there are important safety aspects of these products that you need to be aware of when operating a wood stove. 1. Hi Flame recommends that you have your new stove installed by a professional installer of solid fuel burning appliances. 2. If this room heater is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions.
Check Building Codes • • • • When installing, operating and maintaining your stove, follow the guidelines presented in these instructions, and make them available to anyone using or servicing the stove. Your city, town, county or province may require a building permit to install a solid fuel burning appliance. In the U.S.
3. Fix the flue collar on the outlet which you selected by using the M6 x 20mm flat crosshead screw. Ensure all seals are secure to prevent air leakage. If you choose the rear flue outlet, remove the flue cover before fixing the flue collar. 4. Fix the wooden handle on the stainless steel door handle with the M8 x 90mm bolt. 5. Keep the rest of the screws and Allen wrench for future use. In the unlikely event that something is missing, please contact your dealer immediately.
Installation Clearances It is extremely important that you respect required installation distances and that you respect local installation regulations. This is for your safety. The manufacturer is not responsible for the product if it is not installed following these recommendations. These clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority.
Well sealed flue system Only materials and items approved for solid fuel stoves should be used for your stove. Under no circumstances should you use aluminum or galvanized steel pipes for your stove flue. Always fit pipes with the narrow side down. This will allow any creosote to run down the inside of the pipe and not to come out and cause an unsightly mess and possible fire hazard. All joints in the flue system should be sealed with fire cement and/or an appropriate fire resistant rope or gasket.
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection, must be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate. For the best performance, the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90° elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36" (91.44 cm) and a recommended total length of stovepipe should not exceed 10 feet (3m).
Factory-Built Chimney When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and "T" section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer.
Masonry Chimney (Installation untested by Intertek) Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. (Must meet installation specifications provided in NFPA 211.) Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.
Masonry Fireplace (Installation untested by Intertek) Ensure that a masonry fireplace meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. (Must meet installation specifications provided in NFPA 211.) There are listed kits available to connect a stove to a masonry fireplace. The kit is an adapter that is installed at the location of the fireplace damper. The existing damper may have to be removed to allow installation.

Operating Your Stove • Do not use a grate, andiron or other fuel support method. Build fire directly on the hearth. • Only open door to fuel/refuel the stove. Excess air can cause the stove to over fire. Do not over fire. If chimney or stove is glowing red, you are over firing. • Do not build the fire too close to the glass. Do not abuse the glass doors. Do not strike or slam the door shut.
Refueling Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply on high for a few moments until there is a good fire within the stove. This will ensure there is no build-up of harmful gases in the stove when the door is opened and will also get the new fuel burning quickly and not allow it to kill the fire. To reload the stove, open the door and feed the fuel in slowly, using tongs. Do not overfill the stove. It is always better to put in small loads often rather than big fills less frequently.
Stove Maintenance Check stove regularly Creosote: Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
There may be times, however, when you need to clean the glass. To do this, use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Only ever clean the glass when the stove is cold. When loading fuel into the stove, always make sure it is not protruding out through the door opening, as this may break the glass when you close the door. This is especially relevant when loading logs. Always close the door gently. Do not operate with broken or cracked glass.

Trouble Shooting Fire not burning A stove not burning is generally caused by either a shortage of air and/or incorrect or damp fuel. If fuel is not the problem check: • • • • That the air controls are opened. That there is no blockage in the flue system. That the open end of the flue is above the height of any nearby obstructions. That there is a sufficient air supply into the room and that this supply is not being taken by an extractor fan.
Chimney fire Chimney fires occur when soot and creosote that have built up in the flue system ignite. If the stove is operated properly and the flue checked and cleaned regularly, then chimney fires should not occur. These fires can be very dangerous and must be avoided. Try to maintain good, hot fires in the stove whenever possible and at least once during every firing, open the air controls and allow the stove to burn on full for a short while until the entire fire bed is glowing red.
