LITTLE WENLOCK SOLID FUEL NON-BOILER STOVE
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
When installing, operating and maintaining your
stove respect basic standards of fire safety.Read
these instructions carefully before commencing the
installation. Failure to do so may result in damage to
persons or property. Consult your local Municipal
office and your insurance representative to deter-
mine what regulations are in force. Save these
instructions for future reference.
PRE-INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY
1. After removing the stove from the packaging,
open the fire door and remove all contents from
inside.
2. Fit the fire door handle using the screw provided.
3. Remove the stove from the pallet and position it
in the final installation position (See Location
& Clearance to Combustibles Section).
FLUES
Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45
o
with the vertical. Horizontal
flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a
back outlet from the appliance, when the length of
the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm.
In order to minimise flue resistance and to make
sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45
o
bends rather than a 90
o
bend.
The flue termination point must be located to min-
imise any wind effects. Wind effects of suction,
pressure zones and turbulence can be created by
the roof and adjacent objects. Wind effects can also
be created by natural land contours.
To minimise the wind effects, the flue termination
point should be located a minimum of 1000mm from
the roof measured vertically and 2300mm measured
horizontally. Where this termination point does not
suffice it may be necessary to extend the flue pipe
so that the termination point is above the apex. See
Fig.1.

The installation must be completed in accordance
with current National and European Standards and
Local Codes. It should be noted that the require-
ments and these publications may be superseded
during the life of this manual.

CHIMNEY
The stove is a radiant room heater and must be con-
nected to a chimney of the proper size and type. The
chimney must have a diameter of at least 150mm.
Never connect to a smaller size chimney. Do not
connect to a chimney serving another appliance.
Minimum chimney height 4.5 meters from floor on
which stove is installed.
A flue that has proved to be unsatisfactory, particu-
larly with regard to down draught should not be used
for venting this appliance until it has been examined
and any faults corrected.
An existing masonry chimney should be inspected
and if necessary repaired by a competent mason or
relined using an approved lining system. The stove
must be connected to a chimney with a minimum
continuous draught of 12 Pascal’s. Poor draught
conditions will result in poor performance. All regis-
ter plates, restrictor plates, damper etc., which could
obstruct the flue at a future date should be removed
before connecting this appliance. If connecting to
an existing chimney with a flue diameter of more
than 150mm it is necessary to line the flue using a
