PART 1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A stove compared with an open fire is a very efficient heating appliance and must be installed and u sed safely and
wisely, it is important to understand the working of such an appliance and to understand the process of converting the
fuel into heat and its efficient transfer fro m the firebo x to the room in o rder to gain the most fro m the stove.
A stove creates an almost perfect environment to burn wood in. The firebox will run at a very high temperature ideal to
burn the volatiles given off in the burning process and the concise air controls allo w minimal heat loss into the flue. A
Bohemia stove operates at an efficiency of between 65 % and 70% on a Gross CV basis (71 to 77% Net) and is very
much more efficient than an open fire avoiding the wasteful draughts normally associated with that type of appliance
Burning wood is the natural way to store the sun‟s energy to then be released in a carbon neutral process to heat your
house when the need is most. On a cold winters night there is nothing to beat the release of heat and flame in a stove to
raise the spirit.
The preparation and burning of wood as a fuel in stoves can be traced back many centuries, however it is a forgotten or
maybe never fully discovered activity in the United Kingdom, we have much to learn fro m our Eu ropean and
Scandinavian neighbours whose colder winters have instinctively led them int o a natural wood burning culture.
Wood for fuel is probably one of the most environmentally friendly energy sources, it is carbon neutral, trees used for
fuel production regenerate very quickly and it is a pleasant and satisfying job preparing the firewood for the coming
winters.
WARNI NG NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fu mes into the dwelling. Occasional fu mes from de -
ashing and refueling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and mu st not be tolerated.
If fu me emission persists, then the following immediate action should be taken:
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room
b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel fro m the appliance
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected. If
necessary seek expert advice
The most common cause of fu me emission is flue way or ch imney blockage. For your own safety these must be kept
clean at all t imes. Any permanent air vent provi ded for combustion air must not be bl ocked off. There must not be
an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit dangerous fumes into the
room.
CHIMNEY CLEANI NG
The chimney should be swept at least once a year for s mokeless fuels and a minimu m of twice a year for wood and other
fuels. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown
