This must be at least 125mm (5”) thick. The specified depth may include the thickness of any solid non-combustible floor beneath the hearth.
VI. VENTILATION If your stove has a lower nominal heat output than 5.0kW, a purpose provided air vent is not usually required. However, one may need to be fitted in small or tightly sealed rooms to ensure the efficient combustion of air. Air openings provided for this purpose must not be restricted. See Building Regulations Document J (Document L in Northern Ireland) for further information and seek expert advice if in any doubt. For every kW above 5.
SECTION THREE: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Prior to using your stove for the first time, it is essential that all requirements detailed in Section Two have been met. With correct installation, operation and maintenance this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. At least once a year before putting your stove into service your chimney flue should be cleaned of soot † and residue. Consult a HETAS registered chimney sweep regarding regular cleaning and maintenance.
II. FUME EMISSIONS Occasional fumes from ash clearance and refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission persists, the following immediate actions should be taken: a) b) c) d) Open doors and windows to ventilate room. Put the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. Check for flue or chimney blockage. Clean if required.
VII. FUEL Only premium coal, approved smokeless fuel or wood must be used with this stove. It is best to use dry, well seasoned wood such as oak, ash or beech. A moisture content of between 12% and 20% by weight is acceptable. Seek further advice from your local fuel merchant. VIII. INITIAL BURNING AND CURING Prior to use, this appliance must be installed and commissioned by a fully qualified, registered † installer. HETAS registered installers are recommended by Wolverton Stoves. Please visit www.hetas.
X. OVERNIGHT BURNING When leaving the stove in use overnight, the fire door must be closed. Close all air flow dials and dampen the fire down by covering it with a coating of coal dust or dross. IMPORTANT • Do not fully load the appliance until you are familiar with the operation of all stove controls. • Do not open the loading door too quickly when reloading the appliance. This can cause flames to flash out of the stove similarly to a ‘mini-explosion’.
XIII. FLUE DRAUGHTS Draught is created by warm air exiting the stove and rising in the collar air of the chimney. Prior to installation, the chimney can be checked with a smoke pellet. If the chimney does not pull the † smoke, it may need attention. Seek advice from a qualified, HETAS registered chimney engineer. It is very important to maintain an adequate draught at all times. The following factors can affect the draught. 1. An air leak in the stove or chimney. 2.
BAFFLE PLATE CLEANING: The baffle plate must be checked once a month and cleaned of any deposits. This must only be done when the stove is cold. The baffle plate should be removed and any build up of soot or fly ash brushed away. SHUTTING DOWN: If the stove is not to be used for a long period, all ashes should be removed. Use a vacuum cleaner nozzle to remove ash from the base of the stove. Store the stove in a dry place, with the door slightly ajar, to avoid corrosion. XV.
