3.0 Preparation of Stove for Installation Your stove comes fully assembled, checked and packed in a protective plywood crate. Carefully cut and remove the straps and lift off the top and upper crate. Remove any plastic packaging, open the door and remove all the contents. See List of Components section (above) and check contents carefully.
3.6. Make the connection to the flue, chimney or liner using appropriate rigid flue pipe or adaptor, making sure to seal all joints carefully. 3.7. Now proceed to complete the installation of the stove according to these instructions, Building Regulations and current installation standards or HETAS advice. 3.8.
4.1.5. Fuels Only use recommended fuels which are seasoned (or kiln dried) wood logs. The appliance can be damaged by burning petroleum coke, liquid fuels or general rubbish and this will invalidate your warranty and risk your personal safety. The appliance must not be used as a rubbish incinerator.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
Whilst 150mm diameter flue or liner is recommended wherever possible, a suitable 5” flexible flue liner is permitted be used on these stoves providing that they only burn smokeless fuel or seasoned wood logs with the air limiter fitted in in full accordance with the wood burning instructions.
COMBUSTIBLE SHELVES AND BEAMS Due to the fact that combustible shelves, timber fireplaces and beams have potentially thousands of possible configurations in conjunction with stoves outset or inserted partially or fully into chambers, it is not possible to give firm guidance on dimensions to these features. As a guideline, materials that are in ‘line of sight’...

Advise the customer not to run the stove at full output for at 3 – 4 days. Explain that the stoves can provide much more or less output than their rated heat outputs depending upon fuels, fuel loads used and how they are operated. Warn the customer that using excessive air (having the air controls open too wide for too long) and/or excessive fuel loads can over-fire and irreparably damage the stove.
7.0 Operating Instructions Safety Notes for your guidance 7.1. 7.1.1. FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS – Always use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances in the presence of children, the elderly or the infirm. 7.1.2. DO NOT perform modifications to the appliance as this could seriously compromise safety in operation.
Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. In Wales these are authorised by regulations made by Welsh Ministers. The Fireline Woodtec 5, 5 Wide and 5 Xtra Wide (5kW nominal outputs) stoves have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs. This is conditional upon fitting the supplied secondary air control limiters and following the wood burning instructions precisely.
7.4.2 Air Wash All Fireline stoves are provided with a sophisticated “air wash” system to assist in keeping the fire as visible as possible and reducing cleaning intervals. This secondary air supply to the stove is controlled through the main single air control. The Clean Air Act air restrictor will deliberately prevent full closure of this control on the Wood side of operation.
Before re-lighting the fire the base ceramic of the stove should be partially or completely cleared of the old ash and fire bed that was present. Fireline provide an optional stainless steel scoop box kit to assist, generally making this a one scoop operation. Details are available from Fireline or your retailer if required.
Should any difficulties arise over fuel quality or suitability, consult your local approved fuel merchant. Important Information for Wood Burning With a full load of wood and burning near nominal output the stove will need to be refuelled approximately every 45 mins -1.5 hours. One or two large logs will burn longer than a number of smaller ones.
7.7.4 Primary Air left open The single air control does not provide primary air to the fuel bed and so prevents inadvertent leaving open of primary air inlets. Lighting the Stove We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its maximum heat output.
Allow the fuel to reach a steady burn and usually the initial fuel can be left to burn down to charcoal without much further attention. DO NOT close down the air controls during the initial ignition burn. Build the fire up as soon as the flames have died down from the ignition load carefully by adding a couple of small well split logs at a time.
important that the flue connection, any appliance baffles or throat plates and the chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period. 7.12 User Maintenance See also the Cleaning section above and Maintenance Guide Section below for further information.
