INTRODUCTION
Please read the following instructions carefully to get the best from your new purchase.
The keys to safe, successful and efficient wood burning are good planning, correct installation (by a qualified
heating engineer) and proper operation.
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 they are being
operated correctly and are burning efficiently. 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 maximise 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 under by a Competent Person registered with a
Government approved Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a
listing of their Registered Competent Persons can be found on their website at
www.hetas.co.uk
.
A “Declaration of Completion” Certificate must be obtained for the installation and retained by the end user.
Failure to comply with these requirements may void the warranty.
