3.0 Installation Instructions 3.1. WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 3.1.1 READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION! These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current local regulations including Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations including UK or EU standards referred to as they affect the installation of the stove.
3.1.7 Ventilation Adequate ventilation is ESSENTIAL for the safe and efficient operation of any solid fuel or wood burning appliance. Ventilation MUST be provided where required by the stove output or flue under-performance. Keep all ventilation clear and free of blockage, including any direct outside air connection where used.
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.
made airtight with sealing rope, clamping rings and/or fire cement or heat resisting cement where required. This includes sealing any holes in the firebox top or the annulus around the flue spigot to prevent heated convection air being drawn out of the top of the stove or liner insulation materials from dropping through.
4.7. Hearths: These stoves require a 125mm thick non-combustible constructional hearth beneath them to protect the building; this can include any solid non-combustible floor. A non-combustible superimposed hearth forming an apron of at least 225mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either side must also be provided.
6.0 Operating Instructions 6.1. Safety Notes for your guidance 6.1.1. 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. 6.1.2. 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 FGi/FXi/FP5, FGi/FXi/FPi 5W and FGi/FXi/FPi 8 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.
6.3. Air Controls Keep air controls and inlets/outlets clean and free from ash or debris at all times. Keep ventilator air inlet grilles (if fitted) clean and clear at all times. Do not leave air controls fully open unless monitoring the fire as over firing damage (typically buckling of components) can result which is not covered by any warranty.
6.3.5. Tertiary Air This appliance is also fitted with a draught controlled tertiary air system that burns otherwise uncombusted gasses thereby improving efficiency, increasing heat output and decreasing unwanted emissions. The Tertiary air supply to the stove is controlled automatically by the draught in the flue and firebox.
linings are able to continue in service with cracks or repairs by fire cement, as long as the steel underneath is not exposed to the fire. Firebox linings are not covered by warranty, as they are a wearing consumable part. Baffle: It is essential to check the top of the baffle for build up of soot and ash regularly when in use and after a long period of disuse.
problems with wood stoves is due to excessively damp wood. Wood can appear perfectly dry on the outside but still contain 40-50% water on the inside. A moisture meter can be purchased from stove and equipment suppliers if you wish to check your wood source is correct. Split a log and check the inside as well as the outside.
6.10. Lighting the stove We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its maximum heat output. This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and to give a long service life of the paint finish. During this curing in process you may notice an unpleasant smell whilst the finishes finally cure.
6.11. Re-fuelling When burning Maxibrite the fire will begin to die down with a significant amount of white ash showing amongst the fuel. Gently run a poker through the fire bed to remove most of the ash into the ashpan. Empty the ashpan if it is nearly full and then re-fuel with a good load of briquettes.
6.14. User Maintenance See also the Cleaning section above and Maintenance Guide Section below for further information. Inspect the inside of the firebox and above the baffle plate every week during use. 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.
7.0 Maintenance Guide Removing Door. Open the door to approximately 30 degrees and lift away to disengage the hinge pins. Note that it is not necessary to remove the door to clean or remove items from inside the firebox. Removing Fuel retainer bars: The fuel retainer bars also retain the side firebrick liners.

on it. If the paper is trapped then the seal is working. If the paper pulls out them something is wrong and further examination is needed to find the cause. Re-painting: All painted solid fuel stoves will require some re-painting from time to time due to heat cycling, wear and tear and corrosion caused by moisture, condensation or products of combustion and ash.
9.0 Frequently Asked Questions 1 Do stoves require a chimney or a liner? All of our stoves require a suitable chimney or professionally installed flue system. A liner may or may not be required depending on flue conditions and only your installer can confirm. Our stoves do not mandatorily require a liner. 2 How do I clean the chimney? You will require a chimney sweep to clean the chimney.
