INTRODUCTION
The
keys
to
safe,
successful
and
efficient
wood
burning
are
good
planning,
correct
installation
and
proper
operation.
Please
read
the
following
instructions
carefully
to
get
the
best
from
your
new
purchase.
Modern
homes
have
better
levels
of
insulation
and
are
more
energy
efficient,
with
more
effective
and
better
seals
on
doors
and
windows.
This
makes
our
homes
easier
to
heat,
but
also
means
that
solid
fuel
appliances
must
be
more
carefully
designed
so
that
they
will
function
correctly
in
the
energy
efficient,
modern
homes
of
today.
The
more
energy
efficient
a
house
is,
the
less
fuel
is
required
to
heat
it.
Less
fuel
use
means
less
impact
on
the
environment.
The
operation
of
our
appliances,
so
that
they
do
not
produce
excessive
smoke
(beyond
the
initial
light
up
and
reloading
periods)
is
most
important.
When
our
appliances
are
not
smoking,
it
is
an
indication
that
it
is
being
operated
correctly
and
efficiently.
The
flames
that
are
seen
inside
the
appliance
are
not
the
fuel
burning,
but
the
carbon
particles
and
gases
that
are
released
from
the
fuel
once
it
has
been
heated
to
a
sufficiently
high
temperature.
The
escape
of
any
unburnt
particles
and
some
gases
into
the
atmosphere
are
the
cause
of
air
pollution.
Our
appliances
are
designed
to
ensure
that
the
combustion
of
all
gases
and
particles
takes
place
within
the
firebox,
to
maximize
the
heat
output
of
the
appliance
and
to
minimize
the
discharge
of
particulate
emissions
to
the
atmosphere.
It
is
important
therefore,
for
appliances
to
be
operated
in
accordance
with
our
instructions
in
a
manner
that
maintains
a
high
temperature
in
the
firebox
with
an
adequate
supply
of
air
to
ensure
efficient
combustion.
A
good
indication
of
efficient
combustion
is
a
bright
lively
flame
in
the
firebox.
A
dull
flame
or
smoldering
fire
indicates
poor
or
incomplete
combustion.
To
maintain
adequate
heat
in
the
firebox,
it
is
very
important
to
use
dry,
well
seasoned
wood
with
less
than
20%
moisture
content.
The
wood
must
be
correctly
sized
for
the
particular
appliance
and
it
also
helps
to
have
at
least
three
or
four
pieces
burning
at
the
one
time
to
assist
the
combustion
process.
Adding
single
pieces
of
unseasoned
or
wet
wood
to
a
fire
will
reduce
the
firebox
temperature
and
prevent
adequate
combustion.
This
will
result
in
increased
smoke
emissions
causing
the
flue
and
internal
components
of
the
appliance
to
become
blocked
with
tar
and
creosote
more
quickly.
The
tar
and
creosote
deposits
in
the
chimney
will
fuel
a
chimney
fire.
Please
note
that
it
is
a
requirement
under
the
Broseley
Fires
Ltd’s
warranty
system
that
the
installation
of
the
stove
is
carried
out
by
a
Competent
Person
registered
with
a
Government
approved
Competent
Persons
Scheme.
HETAS
Ltd

such
a
Scheme
and
a
listing
of
their
Registered
Competent
Persons
