Installation

 

with

 

clean

 

out

 

door.

 

 

Ideally,

 

the

 

old

 

fireplace

 

should

 

be

 

filled

 

in

 

so

 

that

 

there

 

is

 

a

 

smooth

 

streamlined

 

entry

 

into

 

the

 

flue.

 

 

The

 

length

 

of

 

the

 

horizontal

 

run

 

of

 

the

 

flue

 

pipe

 

must

 

not

 

exceed

 

the

 

flue

 

outlet

 

diameter

 

on

 

the

 

stove

 

 

125mm

 

 

It

 

is

 

essential

 

that

 

all

 

connections

 

between

 

the

 

stove

 

and

 

chimney

 

flue

 

are

 

sealed

 

and

 

made

 

airtight.

 

 

Both

 

chimney

 

and

 

flue

 

pipe

 

must

 

be

 

accessible

 

for

 

cleaning

 

and

 

if

 

ALL

 

parts

 

of

 

the

 

chimney

 

cannot

 

be

 

reached

 

through

 

the

 

stove,

 

a

 

soot

 

door

 

must

 

be

 

fitted

 

to

 

enable

 

this

 

to

 

be

 

done.

Please

 

note

 

that

 

when

 

refuelling

 

with

 

solid

 

fuel,

 

do

 

not

 

pile

 

fuel

 

higher

 

than

 

30

 

degrees

 

from

 

the

 

front

 

bar

 

rearwards

 

 

over

fuelling

 

can

 

produce

 

temperatures

 

beyond

 

the

 

designed

 

rating

 

of

 

the

 

appliance,

 

causing

 

damage

 

to

 

internal

 

parts.

 

This

 

appliance

 

is

 

designed

 

to

 

be

 

operated

 

with

 

the

 

door

 

closed,

 

except

 

for

 

refuelling.

 

Not

 

only

 

is

 

it

 

unsafe

 

to

 

operate

 

with

 

the

 

door

 

open

 

but

 

the

 

appliance

 

efficiency

 

will

 

be

 

significantly

 

reduced

 

 

Lighting

 

The

 

Stove

 

 

It

 

is

 

essential

 

that

 

you

 

have

 

two

 

or

 

three

 

small

 

fires

 

before

 

you

 

operate

 

the

 

stove

 

to

 

its

 

maximum

 

heat

 

output.

  

This

 

is

 

to

 

allow

 

the

 

paint

 

to

 

cure

 

and

 

casting

 

to

 

relax

 

and

 

consolidate

 

location.

  

We

 

recommend

 

‘running

 

in’

 

procedure

 

after

 

long

 

shutdowns

 

to

 

preserve

 

life

 

of

 

stove.

  

During

 

this

 

you

 

may

 

notice

 

an

 

unpleasant

 

smell.

  

It

 

is

 

not

 

toxic,

 

but

 

for

 

your

 

comfort

 

we

 

would

 

suggest

 

that

 

during

 

this

 

period

 

you

 

leave

 

doors

 

and

 

windows

 

open.

 

 

First,

 

load

 

the

 

fire

 

with

 

starting

 

fuel

 

i.e.

 

paper,

 

dry

 

kindling

 

timber

 

and

 

/

 

or

 

fire

 

lighters

 

in

 

the

 

mode

 

chosen,

 

either

 

wood

 

or

 

coal.

 

 

Light

 

the

 

fire

 

at

 

base

 

leaving

 

all

 

air

 

controls

 

open.

 

Allow

 

the

 

fuel

 

to

 

reach

 

a

 

steady

 

glow

 

and

 

build

 

up

 

the

 

fire

 

gradually.

  

Once

 

you

 

have

 

a

 

good

 

fire

 

established

 

across

 

the

 

grate

 

bed,

 

further

 

fuel

 

can

 

be

 

added

 

as

 

required.

 

 

When

 

your

 

fuel

 

is

 

well

 

alight

 

you

 

can

 

start

 

to

 

restrict

 

the

 

primary

 

air

 

intake.

 

If

 

you

 

are

 

burning

 

only

 

wood,

 

the

 

primary

 

air

 

control

 

can

 

be

 

fully

 

closed.

  

If

 

you

 

are

 

burning

 

solid

 

fuel

 

you

 

will

 

require

 

more

 

primary

 

air.

  

Your

 

stove

 

is

 

burning

 

with

 

maximum

 

efficiency

 

when

 

a

 

bright

 

fire

 

is

 

achieved

 

using

 

minimum

 

air

 

inlet.
