OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LEAVE THIS DOCUMENT WITH THE HOUSEHOLDER !
THE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING OF THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE SUPERVISED BY A
QUALIFIED SOLID FUEL ENGINEER. THE SUPPLIERS WILL ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY
WHATEVER FOR APPLIANCES NOT SO INSTALLED.
A register of qualified engineers is available from:
UK: The Solid Fuel Association, 7 Swanwick Court Alfreton Derbyshire DE55 7AS Tel:0845-601-4406 www.solidfuel.co.uk
RoI: Irish Nationwide Fireplace Organisation, 162 Capel Street, Dublin 1 Tel:01-801-5959 www.fireplace.ie
This document is a guide to installing and using the Tiger stove, any
national or local regulations must be complied with. In the UK this
includes British Standards BS8303 (installation) and BS6461 (chimneys
and flues).
ASBESTOS: Tiger does not contain asbestos, but you should be careful
to avoid disturbing any asbestos when removing an old installation.
FIRE CEMENT is caustic - wash your hands thoroughly after using it.
WEIGHT Protect your spine by moving the stove only with assistance.
FUME EMISSION: Properly installed and operated this appliance will not
emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and
refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially
dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission persists, then the
following immediate action should be taken:
(a) open doors and windows to ventilate the room. (b) let the fire go out or
eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. (c) check the flue or
chimney for blockage and clean if required. (d) do not attempt to re-light
the fire until the case of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. If necessary seek expert advice
HEAT: The surfaces of the appliance and the attached fluepipe will
become extremely hot- a fireguard should be used if children or the infirm
are present. Flammable materials (including fuel) should not be stored
near to the appliance. If the Hi-Leg unit is fitted and used as a log store,
logs must not be placed higher than the central 'bridging' member.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN...
CHIMNEY Your chimney creates the draught which Tiger needs in order to work - it must:
Conform to local building regulations.
Be at least 5m high.
Terminate at least 1m above any roof ridge.
Have an internal cross-section not less than 0.018m² (eg 150mm dia) and not more than 0.14m² (eg 375 x 375mm)
Be free from even the slightest crack or source of leakage.
Have no bends sharper than 45 degrees.
Be entirely free of obstructions and swept by a qualified chimney sweep.
Be connected only to the one appliance.
Have a wall thickness of at least 100mm throughout its length, or be thoroughly insulated
New masonry chimneys should be fitted with ceramic liners of at least 200mm diameter.
Prefabricated chimneys should be fully insulated, of at least 150mm internal diameter, conform to BS4543 Part 2 and
be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES The stove must be placed on a solid non-combustible hearth at least 150mm thick
(which may include the thickness of a solid floor) extending at least 150mm to each side of the stove, 300mm in front and
50mm at the rear. Any combustible materials (such as a wooden mantleshelf) MUST be at least 300mm away. If the Hi-
Leg unit is fitted and used as a log store, logs must not be placed higher than the central 'bridging' member.
LOAD BEARING Tiger is heavy - take care to ensure that the floor has adequate load-bearing capacity and consider
fitting a load distributing plate if necessary
