Attention Check the stove before installation to ensure that there has been no damage to the functional parts (air regulators, seals, door, chimney connector, etc.) during transportation. If you have noticed damage, please contact our customer service. The stove must not be modified in any way. “The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas” Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area.
Disposal of packaging The packaging protects the stove from damage during transportation. The packaging materials can be recycled. The wooden parts of the packaging can be used as firewood. Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of this Opus stove. This manual will introduce you to the functions and correct operation of the stove. It is important that your installer takes you through the operation of this stove during their handover.
The stove has been built with a self closing door mechanism. This can be disabled by removing the spring. If the combustion air is being supplied from the outside, the duct size will need to be increased for any duct over two metres long or any run containing 90 degree bends. The duct length should not be longer than 6 metres with no more than three 90 degree bends. The chimney must be able to overcome the additional resistance of the air intake ducting.
Attention If the chimney pressure is too low or too high this may cause problems with the working of the stove. Outdoor air supply If the deviation from the required pressure (section 4) is over 25%, suitable changes to the chimney should be made. 3.2. Safety rules During stove installation, you must comply with the safety rules. The appliance shall be installed on floors with an adequate load-bearing capacity.

General information about the working of the stove Always use a glove Do not use any flammable liquid fluids for lighting the fire.
5.1. Starting the stove Please pay attention to the minimum space between the stove and flammable objects when lighting a fire. 1. Primary and secondary controls should be fully open. If the flue pipe has a flue damper it should also be fully open. 2. Remove enough ash from the grate to let air through but leave some of the ash there. Put 2-3 firelighters in the centre of the firebox and put on the firewood. 3.
THE STOVE SHOULD NEVER BE FILLED EXCESSIVELY. EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF WOOD OR AIR FOR COMBUSTION CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND DAMAGE THE STOVE. During the first few times the stove is used, it is possible that it can produce a slight smell while the paint is curing. This will disappear after a short while. If the smell appears, open the windows of the room for ventilation. ATTENTION THE ASHPAN MUST BE TIGHTLY CLOSED FOR PROPER REGULATION OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AIR.
5.4 Cleaning and maintenance The stove can be cleaned only when it is cold. Pay attention while cleaning your stove not to damage, scratch or break essential parts. For cleaning steel parts use non-abrasive detergents and a soft rag, and after cleaning wash it well to avoid the deposit of detergent which can damage material. Cleaning the glass should be done when the stove is cold, using normal detergent for washing the glass.
5.5 Layout and usage of air regulators 6. Malfunction and service In the event of a product malfunction please contact your supplier. If the stove is under warranty your supplier will take care of the warranty claim. Regular maintenance of the stove and flue should be carried out by a competent engineer. Use only replacement parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Common fault finding Please be aware that in the event of your stove not performing properly, you should always consult your installer first or a qualified professional.
Weather conditions may affect your stove causing smoke spillage into the room when the appliance door is opened. On windy days this maybe a result of down draught, or on calm days, this could be lack of natural flue draught. We recommend contacting your installer for advice. Always ensure use of good quality wood at 10-20% moisture content during light up, and to maintain the fire. 8. Warranty The warranty cover is effective from when the unit is handed over to the buyer.
