OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations on becoming the owner of a Charnwood Island 
Stove. Your stove has been approved in smoke control areas to burn 
wood logs if it is used in accordance with these instructions. It is very 
important that you read and understand these instructions before 
using the stove. 

Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the work and 
checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried 
out correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free 
from any obstructions. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared 
flue system.

Remember that the stove will be hot and that it is made from hard 
materials – ensure that you have good balance before operating the 
fire. Always use the provided operating tool and gloves.

Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight. 
There is a risk of explosion or flash ignition of the spray.

When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm 
persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental 
contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in 
accordance with BS 8423:2002. 

The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.

FUEL

Please pay careful attention to the special points made with each 
type of fuel as they will help you to get the best from your stove. It 
must be remembered that only authorised fuels and wood logs may 
be burnt in smoke control areas on this stove. If you are not sure 
whether you are in a smoke control area, please check with your 
Local Authority.

At first you may find it helpful to try several fuels to find the most 
suitable. If you are unable to obtain the fuel you want, ask your 
supplier, or an approved fuel distributor, to suggest an alternative.

Authorised Mineral Fuels

Authorised mineral fuels may be burned in smoke control areas on 
this appliance. Your local fuel supplier or stove shop will be able to 
advise you which fuels are available locally. A list of authorised fuels 
can be found at:

https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php

Take care to only burn good quality fuels in order to obtain the 

greatest efficiency and to maintain the life of the appliance.

Wood logs

Only dry well seasoned wood should be burnt on this appliance as 
burning wet unseasoned wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits in 
the stove, on the glass and within the chimney. For the same reason 
hard woods (such as Ash, Beech and Oak) are better than soft 
woods (such as Pine and Spruce). Burning wet unseasoned wood 
will also result in considerably reduced outputs. The wood should be 
cut and split and then left to season in a well ventilated dry place for 
at least one year but preferably two years before use. Approximate 
suitable log sizes are:

Island I - AP : 400mm(15in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter

Island II - BP : 440mm(15in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter

Log moisture content of less than 20% is recommended.

PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS 
APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.

This stove is not designed to burn household waste.

HETAS Ltd Appliance Approval only covers the use of Wood Logs 
and Smokeless Fuels on this appliance.

MULTI GRATE

Your Charnwood Island is fitted with a multi grate to enable wood 
or smokeless fuel to be burned and ash to be cleared. The grate has 
two positions:

1) In the solid fuel position the grate bars are vertical with gaps in 
between allowing the primary combustion air to come up through 
the grate and through the fuel bed.

2) In the wood position the grate bars are horizontal, allowing the 
combustion air to come round the sides of the grate and over the top 
of it. When in the closed position ash is able to build up on the grate 
as is necessary for effective wood burning. 

Movement of the grate from one position to the other is effected 
using the operation tool supplied as shown in Fig.1.

The grate is put into the solid fuel position by turning the operation 
tool anticlockwise and pulling out the fuel selection slider shown 
in Fig.1. The grate is put into the wood position by turning the 
operation tool clockwise. To riddle the appliance the tool should be 
moved between the clockwise and anticlockwise positions several
