LITTLE WENLOCK CLASSIC MULTIFUEL NON-BOILER STOVE
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
When installing, operating and maintaining your
stove respect basic standards of fire safety.Read
these instructions carefully before commencing the
installation. Failure to do so may result in damage to
persons or property. Consult your local Municipal
office and your insurance representative to deter-
mine what regulations are in force. Save these
instructions for future reference.
Special care must be taken when installing the stove
such that the requirements of the Health & Safety at
Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading,
unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should
not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In
case of contact with the skin wash immediately with
plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possi-
bility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please seek guidance and use
appropriate protective equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should
be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
2
NOTE: Please note that it is a legal requirement
under England & Wales Building Regulations that
the installation of the stove is either carried out
under Local Authority Building Control approval or
is installed 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.
IMPORTANT WARNING: This stove must not be
installed into a chimney that serves any other
heating appliance. There must not be an extrac-
tor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as
this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the
room.
PRE-INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY
1. After removing the stove from the packaging,
open the fire door and remove all contents from
inside.
2. Fit the fire door handle using the screw provided.
3. Remove the stove from the pallet and position it
in the final installation position (See Location
& Clearance to Combustibles Section).
FLUES
Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45owith the vertical. Horizontal
flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a
back outlet from the appliance, when the length of
the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm.
In order to minimise flue resistance and to make
sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45o
bends rather than a 90obend.
The flue termination point must be located to min-
imise any wind effects. Wind effects of suction,
pressure zones and turbulence can be created by
the roof and adjacent objects. Wind effects can also
be created by natural land contours.
To minimise the wind effects, the flue termination
point should be located a minimum of 600mm from
the roof measured vertically and 2300mm measured
horizontally. Where this termination point does not
suffice it may be necessary to extend the flue pipe
so that the termination point is above the apex. See
Fig.1.
The installation must be completed in accor-
dance with current National and European
Standards and Local Codes. It should be noted
that the requirements and these publications
may be superseded during the life of this man-
ual.

CHIMNEY
The stove is a radiant room heater and must be con-
nected to a chimney of the proper size and type. The
stove is supplied with a 5” flue spigot, where the
stove is installed in a smoke controlled area it is per-
missible to install the stove on a 5” (125mm) flue.
Where the stove is installed outside of a smoke con-
trolled area, it is possible that fuel other than smoke-
less may be used and the flue will require a 5 - 6”
increaser which must be fitted within 1 metre of the
flue outlet.
From the increaser to the chimney outlet it must be
completed in a minimum of 6” flue or equivalent
cross sectional area. Do not connect to a chimney
serving another appliance. A minimum chimney
height of 4.5m measured vertically from the flue out-
let of the stove is recommended to ensure sufficient
draught to clear the products of combustion.
A flue that has proved to be unsatisfactory, particu-
larly with regard to down draught should not be used
for venting this appliance until it has been examined
and any faults corrected.
An existing masonry chimney should be inspected
and if necessary repaired by a competent mason or
relined using an approved lining system. The stove
must be connected to a chimney with a minimum
Fig.1
2300
600
Appliance Soot Door
continuous draught of 12 Pascal’s. Poor draught
conditions will result in poor performance. All regis-
ter plates, restrictor plates, damper etc., which could
obstruct the flue at a future date should be removed
before connecting this appliance. If connecting to
an existing chimney with a flue diameter of more
than 150mm it is necessary to line the flue using a
suitable stainless steel flue liner. Where a masonry
chimney is not available a proprietary type 125 –
150mm twin wall, fully insulated pipe may be used.
The pipe must terminate at a point not lower than the
main ridge of adjacent outside obstructions. With
such installation, access to the chimney must be
provided for cleaning purposes. (See Fig.1)
When flue piping passes through a closure plate
with a sliding door, ensure that the pipe continues
up and is ultimately connected to the flue liner and
well sealed with fire cement.`
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction
and have been swept clean immediately before
installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place
of an open fire then the chimney should be swept
one month after installation to clear any soot falls
which may have occurred due to the difference in
combustion between the stove and the open fire.
Refer to BS EN 15287-1:2007, Design Installation
and Commissioning of Chimneys; Part 1: Chimneys
for non-room sealed heating appliances, for guid-
ance
TOP FLUE EXIT
For the top outlet configuration, remove the blanking
plate from the hob, remove the flue spigot from the
back plate and fix it to the hob. Fix the outlet blank-
ing plate to back plate (see Fig. 2). Push the flue out-
let connector pipe (not supplied) into the flue spigot
and cement into place using approved fire cement,
ensuring that no cement is blocking the flue pas-
sageway.

REAR FLUE EXIT
Push the flue connector pipe (not supplied) into the
flue spigot and cement into place using approved
fire cement ensuring that no cement is blocking the
flue passageway.

DOWN DRAUGHTS
However well designed constructed and positioned,
the satisfactory performance of the flue can be
adversely affected by down draught caused by near-
by hills, adjacent tall buildings or trees. These can
deflect wind to blow directly down the flue or create
a zone of low pressure over the terminal. A suitable
anti-down draught terminal or cowl will usually effec-
tively combat direct down blow but no cowl is likely
to prevent down draught due to a low pressure zone.

VENTILATION AND COMBUSTION AIR
REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is rated less than 5kW. There is no
additional air requirement unless a flue draught sta-
biliser is fitted then the air requirement is 15cm2.
When calculating combustion air requirements for
this appliance use the following equation: 550mm2
per each kW of rated output above 5 kW should be
provided, where a flue draught stabiliser is used the
total free area shall be increased by 300mm2for
each kW of rated output. If there is another appli-
ance using air fitted in the same or adjacent room, it
will be necessary to provide an additional air supply.
All materials used in the manufacture of air vents
should be such that the vent is dimensionally stable,
corrosion resistant, and no provision for closure.
The effective free area of any vent should be ascer-
tained before installation. The effect of any grills
should be allowed for when determining the effective
free area of any vent.
Air vents direct to the outside of the building should
be located so that any air current produced will not
pass through normally occupied areas of the room.
An air vent outside the building should not be locat-
ed less than the dimensions specified within the
Building Regulations and B.S. 8303: Part 1 from any
part of any flue terminal. These air vents must also
be satisfactorily fire proofed as per Building
Regulations and B.S. 8303: Part 1.
Air vents in internal walls should not communicate
with bedrooms, bedsits, toilets, bathrooms or rooms
containing a shower.
Air vents traversing cavity walls should include a
continuous duct across the cavity. The duct should
be installed in such a manner as not to impair the
weather resistance of the cavity.
Joints between air vents and outside walls should be
sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture. Existing
air vents should be of the correct size and unob-
structed for the appliance in use. If there is an
extraction fan fitted in adjacent rooms where this
appliance is fitted, additional air vents may be
required to alleviate the possibility of spillage of
products of combustion from the appliance/flue
while the fan is in operation. Refer to B.S. 8303 Part
1.
Where such an installation exists, a test for spillage
should be made with the fan or fans and other appli-
ances using air in operation at full rate, (i.e.extrac-
tion fans, tumble dryers) with all external doors and
windows closed.
4

Especially Airtight Properties:-
If the stove is being fitted in a property where the
design air permeability is less than 5m3/ (h.m2) (nor-
mally newer properties built from 2006), then a per-
manent ventilation must be fitted to provide 550mm2
of ventilation for each kW of rated output. If a
draught stabiliser is also fitted then the requirement
is 850mm2per kW of rated output.
If spillage occurs following the above operation, an
additional air vent of sufficient size to prevent this
occurrence should be installed.
PERMANENT AIR VENT
The stove requires an adequate air supply in order
for it to operate safely and efficiently. The installer
may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide com-
bustion and/or ventilation air. This air vent should
not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.
Extractor Fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same
room as the stove as this can cause the stove to
emit smoke and fumes into the room.
COMMISSIONING & HANDOVER
On completion of the installation allow a suitable
period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry
out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to
ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the
stove up the chimney and emitted safely to the
atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least
24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning
ensure that the operating instructions for the stove
are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the cus-
tomer on the correct use of the appliance with the
fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to
use only the recommended fuels 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 fire guard to BS 8423:2002 in the
presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

LOCATION
There are several conditions to be considered in
selecting a location for your stove.
A. Position in the area to be heated - central loca-
tions are usually best. If situated in an alcove,
site as far forward as possible, to provide more
heat to the room.
B. Allowances for proper clearances to com -
bustibles.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
It is recommended that this appliance is sited next to
and on a non-combustible surface. A minimum all
round clearance of 100mm will allow air circulation
and not impede the performance of the stove. If it is
necessary to site the stove near to a combustible
surface a minimum clearance of 475mm to side
walls and 550mm to rear wall must be maintained.
The connector may pass through walls or partitions
constructed of combustible materials provided the
connector is either listed for wall pass-through or is
routed through a device listed for a wall pass-
through and is installed in accordance with the con-
ditions of the listing. Any unexposed metal that is
used as part of a wall pass-through system is
exposed to flue gases shall be constructed of stain-
less steel or other equivalent material that will resist
corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue gas at
temperatures up to 982°C.
FLOOR PROTECTION
It is recommended that this appliance is installed on
a solid, level, non combustible hearth conforming to
current Building Regulations.

OPERATING
Check that all controls and catches are operating
correctly and ensure that all flue connections are
thoroughly sealed. Set both air controls to fully open.
Secondary Air Control – slider
Primary Air Control – spin wheel
Once the fire is established the controls can be used
to control the burn rate of the fuel.
For wood the spin wheel (primary air control) should
be shut and the secondary air control can be adjust-
ed to control the burn rate. For manufactured
smokeless fuel the secondary air control should be
set to minimum by pushing it in fully, the spin wheel
then can be used to control the burn rate.
When burning coal the supplementary wood grate
should be removed, it is not recommended to burn a
mixture of coal and manufactured smokeless fuel.
The supplementary wood grate is designed to give
the ash support and also to assist in cleaning out the
fire, as the spent ash will fall through the holes into
the ashpan. The holes in it are a guide for correct
positioning. Fitting it onto the lugs will ensure it stays
in place if the riddling mechanism is used.
LIGHTING THE FIRE
Use small pieces of dry kindling and light using
a chemical firelighter or paper. Add extra kin-
dling in small amounts and wait for the flame to
establish before adding more kindling. The light-
ing process may take 20-30 minutes to establish
the fire. Do not add large pieces of fuel until the
flame is fully established and the fire is burning
well. At this time the air controls can be adjust-
ed to control the fire.
To keep smoke emission to a minimum follow
these tips:-
Add fuel little and often, rather than in large pieces.
As a rough guide the fire will use about 1.5 kgs of
wood logs per hour. Do not over fuel.
Do not allow the bed to become too small before
adding more fuel. It is better to refuel little and often
and keep the fire hot.
WHEN ADDING FUEL IT IS NECESSARY TO
BOOST THE FIRE BY OPENING THE CONTROLS
FULLY FOR 3 MINUTES OR UNTIL FLAMES ARE
ESTABLISHED.
The controls of this stove have been adjusted and
set to give the best performance and do not close
fully. Do not make any modifications to the settings
other than the normal operation as described in this
manual.
THIS STOVE IS APPROVED TO BURN WOOD
AND MANUFACTURED SMOKELESS FUELS.

RE-FUELLING
When burning wood the requirement to riddle the
fire is much less. Do not riddle the fire with the spin-
wheel open but fully open the secondary air control
instead. IT IS NECESSARY TO OPEN THE SPIN
WHEEL FULLY TO RE-ESTABLISH THE FLAME
TO PREVENT SMOKING. REMEMBER TO RESET
THE CONTROLS WHEN THE FLAMES ARE
BRIGHT.

Fig.10
SLOW BURNING
It is not possible to shut down the appliance com-
pletely as this would cause smoke to be produced. A
minimum burning rate can be achieved by closing
the spinwheel to its stop position and also pushing in
the slider. In the event that the glass soots up
increase the secondary air by pulling out the slider a
little more.
DE-ASHING
Never allow the ashpan to over fill as it will cause
damage to the grate. Open the fire door and remove
ashpan using the operating tool. Close the fire door.
When the ash is disposed of, replace the empty ash-
pan. (See Fig.9) Do not leave the fire unattended
with the fire door open, even for a minute.
Fig. 11
DISPOSAL OF ASH
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well
away from all combustible materials pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
MAINTENANCE
CREOSOTE: Formation and Need for Removal
When some fuels are burned slowly, they produce
tar and other organic vapours, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue
of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited cre-
osote makes an extremely hot fire.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
Chimney and connector should be cleaned at least
twice a year. Once before heating season and once
after. The chimney connector and chimney should
be inspected at least monthly during the heating
season to determine if a creosote build-up has
occurred. Remove the cast iron baffle plate located
at the top end of the firebricks before chimney clean-
ing.
When inspecting a masonry chimney, start at the
cleanout door, normally found at the base of the
chimney, or on the outside. If your chimney does not
have a clean-out door one should be provided.

FIRE SAFETY
To provide reasonable fire safety the following
should be given serious consideration:
1. The installation of smoke detectors.
2. A conveniently located fire extinguisher to con-
tend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
3. A practical evacuation plan.
4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
a. Notify the fire department.
b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacua-
tion.
c. Close all openings into the stove.
d. While awaiting the fire department watch for
ignition to adjacent combustibles from over
head stove pipe or from embers or from
sparks from the chimney.
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this
stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional 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 following
immediate action should be taken:
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room
(b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose
of fuel from the stove.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and
clean if required.
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the
cause of the fume emission has been iden-
tified and corrected. If necessary seek
expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flue-
way or chimney blockage. For your own safety
these must be kept clean at all times.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Now that your stove is installed and no doubt you are looking forward to many comforts it will provide, we would
like to give you some tips on how to get the best results from your stove.
1. We would like if you could take some time to read the operating instructions/hints, which we are
confident, will be of great benefit to you.
2. Do not burn fuel with a high moisture content, such as a damp peat or unseasoned timber.
This will only result in a build up of tar in the stove and in the chimney and the possibility of a
chimney fire.
3. CLEAN THE FLUE-WAYS OF THE STOVE EVERY WEEK AND ENSURE THAT THERE ARE
NO BLOCKAGES. CHECK FLUEWAYS BEFORE LIGHTING ESPECIALLY AFTER A SHUT-
DOWN PERIOD. PLEASE REFER TO MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
4. Do not allow the fire to die down too much before adding fresh fuel. Riddling is not always
necessary when wood burning.
5. Never allow a build up of ashes in the ash pan, as this may cause the grate to burn out prema-
turely.
6. Avoid long periods of slow burning of damp or unseasoned fuel as this will result in tarring flue-
ways and chimney i.e. timber.
7. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty of air for combustion.
8. Do not burn rubbish/house hold plastic.
9. Clean the chimney at least twice a year.
10. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance away from the appliance, please see section for
clearances to combustibles.
11. For safety reasons never leave children or the elderly unaccompanied while stove is in use.
Use a fireguard.
12. Avoid contact with appliance when in use as the stove reaches very high operating temperatures.
13. This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer. Use only replace-
ment parts recommended by Aga. Using unauthorised parts will invalidate your guarantee
and may cause damage or injury.
14. Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.

TEMPERATURE OVER A NUMBER OF HOURS THIS ODOUR WILL SUBSIDE.
IT IS BEST ADVISED TO OPEN WINDOWS DURING THIS PERIOD.
THIS ODOUR IS UNPLEASANT BUT NOT TOXIC. YOU MAY WISH TO VACATE THE ROOM WHILE
THE PAINT CURES.

Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work
and commissioning checks described in the installation instructions 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 commission-
ing and handover the installer should demonstrate how to operate the
stove correctly.
LIGHTING
IMPORTANT: The first few fires should be relatively small to permit the
refractory to set properly and to season the stove.
1. Before lighting the stove, ensure that any build-up in the firebox has been
removed and that the ashpan has been emptied.
2. Open the spin valve by turning it anti-clockwise. Open secondary air control
by pulling it fully out. These parts will become hot. Use the tool provided.
3. Lay a few crumpled sheets of paper on the grate and then a few small sticks,
kindling or an approved firelighter.
4. Ignite and close the door.
5. Never use inflammable liquid i.e. gasoline, petrol paraffin etc. to start or
freshen up a fire in this heater.
6. When the fire is well established add fuel to the firebox. Adjust to the desired
setting the spin valve and / or the secondary air slide depending on the fuel
burned. (See Re-Fuelling Section).
7. To shut the fire down, do not add fuel. Make sure that the fire door is
properly closed, that the spin valve is firmly shut and the secondary air
slide is pushed in. Cutting off the air supply will reduce the heat output.

GLASS
1. How to clean:
The glass will clean itself when there is sufficient
heat generated by burning fuel. If a build-up of cre-
osote occurs on the glass it may be due to draft con-
ditions, poor quality fuel or very slow burning for
along time. Only clean glass when the stove is thor-
oughly cooled. Clean with a liquid detergent taking
care not to scratch the glass.
2. Glass Replacement: (See Fig.12)
a. Open the door fully.
b. Remove the four corner screws and clips and
carefully remove the broken glass.
c. Clean the glass recess in the door.
d. Attach adhesive thermal tape to the perimeter of
the replacement glass.
e. Place the thermal tape side of the glass into the
door recess and replace the four corner clips.
f. Tighten screws.
g. Replace glass only with ceramic glass 5mm thick.
SUMMER SHUTDOWN
For summer shutdown of the stove, ensure all
ashes have been cleaned from the ash com-
partment and that the air control is fully open, to
avoid condensation in the stove firebox and
possible corrosion during this shutdown period.
CO ALARM
Building Regulations require that whenever a new or
replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appli-
ance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide
alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appli-
ance. Further guidance on the installation of the
carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN
50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a
substitute for either installing the appliance cor-
rectly or ensuring regular servicing and mainte-
nance of the appliance and chimney system.
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the
same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds
unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under
“Warning Note” below.
WARNING:-
If the CO Alarm sounds unexpectedly:-
1. Open Doors and windows to ventilate the
room and then leave the premises.
2. Let the fire go out.
