If the stove is to be installed on a combustible oor surface, it must be covered with a non-com-
bustible material at least 12mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Docu-
ment J, to a distance of 30 cm in front of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the
door of the combustion chamber.
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform eciently and safely there must be an adequate air supply into
the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. The provision of air supply to
the stove must be in accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An ope-
ning window is not appropriate for this purpose.
Connection to chimney
Stoves may have a choice of either a rear or top ue gas connector that allows connection to
either a masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance
with their instructions. In some cases it may be necessary to t an adaptor to increase the diame-
ter of the ue to the minimum required 150 mm section of the chimney or liner.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure all parts are tted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any re cement and mortar to
dry out, before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under re check all seals for soundness and
check that the ue is functioning correctly and that all products of combustion are vented safely
to atmosphere via the chimney terminal.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the
stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appli-
ance and warn them to use only the recommended fuel for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer
should be warned to use a reguard to BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of
children, aged and/or inrm persons.
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOK AND THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
THE STOVE
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Oc-
casional fumes from de ashing and re fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the follo-
wing immediate action should be taken:
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the re go out.
(c) Check for ue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the re until the cause of the fume emission has been
identied and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is ueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety
these must be kept clean at all times.
IMPORTANT NOTES
General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning
checks described above have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept
clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and hand-
over the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
CO Alarm
Your installer should have tted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm
sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” above.
Use of reguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or inrm persons are present a
reguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The reguard should be
manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539).
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the ue connection and
chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
If the stove is tted in place of an open re then the chimney will require sweeping after a month
of continuous operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any “softer” deposits left from the
open re usage have not been loosened by the higher ue temperatures generated by the closed
stove.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided
alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove ue outlet and the
ue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a ue brush.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough
clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good ow of air through the appli-
ance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan tted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the
stove to emit smoke and fumes into the room.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in
use.
Refuelling on to a low re bed
If there is insucient burning material in the rebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sucient quantity of glowing embers
and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite. If the re bed is too low or cool, suitable kindling
must be used to re-light res
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specied in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause excess smoke.
Use with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with
the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not
be operated with air controls or dampers left open except as directed in the instructions.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney res should not occur. However, if a
chimney re does occur turn o the stove immediately and isolate the mains electricity supply
(if applicable), and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney re to
go out. If the chimney re does not go out when the above action is taken then the re brigade
should be called immediately. Do not relight the stove until the chimney and ueways have been
cleaned and examined by a professional.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and ef-
ciently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have tted a permanent air
supply vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent
should not under any circumstances be shut o or sealed.
USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the important notices given above before referring to the main instruction book for
detailed operating instructions.
Recommended fuels
Stoves may be designed to burn dry seasoned wood logs and/or solid mineral fuel as indicated in
the main stove manuals.
HETAS Ltd Approval
HETAS approval may be limited to specic fuel types as detailed in the main instruction manuals.
Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the recommended fuel,
