1.
Insert throat plate assembly into the fire
box and manoeuvre so that the throat
plate drops into the landing plate cut-
outs.
2.
Raise the throat plate assembly verti-
cally out of the landing slots ensuring
the front edge remains behind the front
edge of the air wash lip, see fig 4.
3.
Hook the throat plate ‘T’ cut-out onto
the support hanger and push back to
slide onto the secondary air tube; the
wood tray will hold the bottom edge
into the correct position.
GRATE BARS
In a multi fuel stove, the grate comprises of a
series of cast iron grate bars seated on a pair
of combs. All bars in the grate are identical.
The bars should be seated with every other
bar rotated 180 degrees, so the ends marked
’H’ and ’L’ alternate on each comb.

FLUES AND CHIMNEYS
The flue draw is critical on any installation and
should be checked to ensure that it matches
what is specified. If it is higher than
recommended, provisions must be made to
correct the over draw.
The draw can vary in different weather
conditions and the customer should be made
aware of this. Failure to correct an over
drawing flue will invalidate the warranty.
The stove must be connected to a suitable and
efficient flue so that products of combustion
(fumes) from the stove are expelled to the
outside air. To ensure a good up draught it is
important that the flue gases are kept warm
and that the flue size suits the stove. The termi-
nation of the outlet at the top of the flue also
needs to comply with Building Regulations. The
minimum effective height of the flue must be at
least 4.5 metres from the top of the stove to the
top of the flue outlet. When warm the flue
draught should be between 0.1 to 0.2 mb.
A chimney may comply with regulations but
could still be subject to down draught and
similar problems. A chimney terminating above
the ridge level is generally less likely to suffer
such problems.
If a new chimney is being built / installed it
should fully comply with the relevant Building
Regulations that specify the requirements for
solid fuel burning installations.
The flue and chimney installation must be
carefully checked by a competent person
before fitting the stove to ensure it is suitable
and will work safely.
If the chimney is old (ie: built of brick or stone
without a liner) or being opened up for reuse
additional checks and smoke testing as
described in Appendix E of the Approved
Document J 2002 Edition should also be
carried out to ensure the flue and chimney are
