INSTALLING THE STOVE
Warning: — Use packing to avoid damage to underside Air Controls when moving on trucks!
Ensure that the Air Controls move freely before final positioning and installing
Always leave Air Controls open to shake out any loose material when moving stove
( If jammed, spin off the 6no domed nuts and clear obstruction )
Remember to leave sufficient clearance in front of the stove for the fire door to open fully.
Place
stove
on
chosen level hearth and remove any packaging materials. The shrink polythene can be used as a cover for the
stove whilst installation is in progress as fire cement will mark the stove paint surface if left.
There is normally a piece of
cardboard
, for protection, behind the door glass. All other pieces of board in the
stove are the
fire boards
. Turn the handle and open the fire door then carefully remove it by lifting up and off its
hinge pins (retaining these) and place it safely out of the way. From the front of the stove you can now
remove
the operating tool, baffle, fire boards, the grate bars and ashpan
if necessary.
The
ashpan
can be used for holding the
grate bars
if you need to remove them, which can be done easily by
rotating them fully open then lifting each one out of the
grate link bar
, outwards and upwards.
The flue spigot supplied with the Woodwarm is 127mm and is interchangeable with the blanking plate. There is a
rope seal on both the blanking plate and the flue spigot to ensure an gas tight seal. Locate the
blanking plate
and
the
flue spigot
in their chosen apertures and then tighten the screws and nuts to ensure a good seal.
Fire cement and/or a length of fireproof rope should be used to seal the joint of the
flue pipe
into the flue spigot.
This should also be applied to the joint between two
flue pipes
and where the flue pipe joins your chosen
register
plate.
Stainless Steel self-tapping screws or nuts and set screws should be used to reinforce the above joints where ap-
plicable.
Carefully remove any excess fire cement immediately to ensure no marking of the stove finish.
Replace the door by aligning it over the hinges and working the door downwards whilst at the same time, gently
swinging it.
Warning
: Use a second person to take the weight, as the door is heavy.
INTERNAL FIRE BOARDS
These stoves are for both wood and solid fuel and the interior of the fire chamber of all of them is lined with
30mm Mica based fire resistant board . There are three pieces, one at the rear under the baffle and flue outlet
and one on either side of the stove. Fig3 These fire boards are ready cut to size and shape and may be packed
loose to prevent damage. They are very fragile so
handle with care
, especially when loading with fuel. They have
a relatively short life, especially when burning coal, so do inspect them regularly and replace if they begin to deteri-
orate by showing signs of breaking up or wearing thin. The fire board is important for efficient combustion and is
not covered by any warranty as it is considered a consumable product.
The replacement sizes are provided under
Stove Fire boards
on
table 1 page 3.
BAFFLE
The smoke baffle sits on the rear board as shown in Fig.4 and 5
.
Ensure baffle seats squarely on rear board
LOGGUARD AND SOLID FUEL INFILL’S (Gem / Blaze only)
Install these as per Fig. 6a to Fig. 7c
COMMISSIONING
On completion of the installation and after allowing a suitable period of time for any fire cement or mortar joints to
dry out, the stove should be cleaned using a soft dry cloth. Check joints and seals. The stove can then be lit and
checked to ensure that smoke is taken from the appliance up the chimney and emitted safely.
The customer should be advised on the use of the appliance.
On completion of the installation and commissioning please leave these operating instructions with the
customer.
