Installation Instructions The installer has a responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to provide for the safety of persons carrying out the installation. Attention is drawn to the fact that fire cement is caustic and hands must be washed thoroughly after use. The appliance is heavy and care must be taken during handling.
Ideal Flue Connection Fig 1 Flue Draught The chimney can be checked, before the stove is installed, with a smoke match. If the chimney doesn’t pull the smoke it may suggest the chimney needs attention. Measurement: The flue draught test hole must be drilled in the flue pipe as close to the stove as possible and before any flue draught stabiliser.
Maximum: The primary air intake can now be opened to allow the stove to burn at maximum rate. Give the stove some time for the burning rate to become steady and then close the primary air intake, make sure the air-wash control is fully open and take a flue draught reading immediately. Ideally, the flue draught readings should range between 1mm wg and 2.5wg .Any readings significantly outside this range may indicate the need for remedial action.
Installing the Stove This appliance is not suitable for installation on any water born vessel, caravans or any form of mobile home. Clearances From Combustibles Side 550mm Rear 700mm Stove weight 87Kg Positioning: The overall dimension of the stove is shown in above. The table above indicates recommended distances between the stove and surrounding combustible materials.
Important Installation Notes: 1. The installation must allow for adequate chimney sweeping. 2. Avoid using bends greater than 45° to the vertical. All flue pipe sections should be as close to vertical as possible. 3. All joints in the flue system must be effectively sealed. 4.

On completing the installation, check that all the internal components of the stove are positioned correctly. Check - ash pan, iron grate, baffle, side and back bricks. Arranging the flue plug for top or rear outlet See Fig.2 Recomended Fuel For best results use well seasoned hardwood such as Oak, Ash, or Beech.
Your Stove Your stove has been tested for intermittent use and is designed to be operated only with the door closed. Warning Note Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated.

Wood burning Lighting and Controlling the Fire: Before lighting the fire for the first time ensure that the baffle, and the side and back bricks are in position. Burning without either will result in the stove body from overheating and being damaged. Open the air wash control and the primary air control fully.

Load the wood and leave the air controls open until the moisture is driven out of the wood and the stove is back up to an efficient operating temperature. The air inlets can then be reduced to hold the temperature of the stove. Loading the stove little and often will help keep the stove temperature steady.
Above 245 °C (475°F) Too hot: Heat will be wasted up the chimney. Excess heat may damage the stove or ignite an existing accumulation of tar resulting in a chimney fire. Cleaning the Stove: The stove should only be cleaned when it is cold. The exterior can be dusted with a firm brush. Do not use a cloth, as this will drag on the paint finish leaving lint on the surface.
