2.6 Commissioning
Check all internal parts are fitted correctly and there are no gaps between the firebricks and baffles and the log
retainer is secure. During transportation, it may happen that the baffle plate in steel falls out of place.
Therefore, before using the stove, please make sure that the baffle plate is properly placed (on the hooks or
fastened to the bolts depending on the model)
Make sure the flue connection if secure and sealed.
Check all the levers are operating fully and freely.
CO Alarm:
Building Regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass
appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance.
Further guidance is available in BS EN50292:2002 and from the a
larm manufacturer’s instructions. Provision of
an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either
3. Lighting and Using the Stove
Important safety information
•
The wood burning stove will become warm during use and therefore it should be treated with all
necessary caution.
•
Never keep easily combustible fluids such as petrol in the vicinity of the wood burning stove.
•
Never use easily combustible fluids to light the fire in the wood burning stove.
•
Never empty the ashes when the wood burning stove is warm. Embers may still be found in the ash
for up to 24 hours after the fire has gone out. Please wait to empty the ash until you are sure that
there are no embers in the ash.
•
The door should be kept closed while the wood burning stove is in use. While lighting the fire, the
door can stand ajar for the first few minutes.
•
In the event of a chimney fire: Close all the dampers on the wood burning stove and call the fire-
fighting service.
•
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds
unexpectedly, Leave the premises immediately and contact installer. Let the fire go out.
•
The control and handles will get warm when the wood burning stove is in use. Please use the glove
provided when you operate the wood burning stove.
3.1 The first time a fire is lit
The first few times the wood burning stove is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the
wood burning stove, which is fairly normal. This is caused by the heat-resistant paint hardening. Make sure
there is sufficient ventilation during this stage. It is also important not to let the fire burn too fiercely the first
2-3 times, so that the wood burning stove has time to expand slowly.
You should also be aware that the stove may make some clicking sounds as it heats up and cools down
–
like
pouring boiling water into a sink. These are caused by the great differences in temperature to which the
materials are being exposed.
During the first firing, which should be carried out using approximately 1 kg of wood, the stoking door must
be left slightly open and must not be closed until the stove is cold. This is to prevent the sealing rope sticking
to the stove.
