2. Installation
2.1 Unpacking the Stove
After removing the outer packaging, unbolt the combustion chamber from the wooden
pallet and place it gently on its back. The cardboard packaging can be placed
underneath to prevent marring. Remove the leg pack from the stove and bolt each leg
securely to the underside of the base on the combustion chamber, using the bolts
provided (found inside the stove).
We recommend that two people perform the assembly and installation procedure.
2.2 Installing this Stove
The stove and chimney installations MUST comply with all current National and
Local Building Regulations; your approved dealer or your local building control
officer can advise regarding this. Ultimately, it is you and your installer who is
responsible that the installation complies.
2.3 Pre-installation
After removing the stove from the packaging, open the fire door and remove the loose
packing. Prior to installation all the internal components of the stove are removed to
gain access to fi ings and to make it lighter for installation.
Remove the refractory fire bricks, these bricks are loose and just need to be lifted
clear of the grate support plate before they can be removed.

To remove the loose baffle, lift the front edge until it hits the top and then slide it
forward. Then drop the rear edge and the baffle will slide down. To remove the
fi ed baffle, loosen the two screws and slide it
forwards, it will then drop down.
To remove the cast iron liners, lift them clear
of the grate support plate and then move the
front edge of the casting towards the middle of
the stove, and clear of the back wall of the
stove, then tilt the casting so that it can be
removed diagonally through the opening.
Remove the flue spigot and gasket by removing
the four bolts.
Ne t, remove the grate by pushing it from
underneath, the riddling bar is not fi ed to the
grate. This will allow access to four M6 fi ings
which will attach the stove to the outer casing.
Remove the 4 fi ings, allowing the insert stove
to be removed from the e ternal casing.
2. Chimney
THIS PRODUCT IS SUITABLE OR
CHIMNEY INSTALLATION ONLY.
The stove is a radiant room heater and must
be connected to a chimney of the proper size
and type. The chimney must have a cross
sectional area of at least 124cm
2
or a diameter
of at least 150mm. Never connect to a smaller
size chimney. Do not connect to a chimney
serving another appliance. Minimum chimney
height 4.5 meters from floor on which stove is
installed.
It is recommended that a flue liner of diameter
150mm be used to line the chimney, the liner
should be approved for use with solid fuel.
See Fig. 1.
It is permitted to connect using a closure plate
and a connection piece from the stove to the
closure plate (See Fig 2), provided that the
chimney is of sound construction with no
leaks or cracks, a clay flue liner has been used
that can withstand up to 1000
o
C, the clay liner has a diameter no greater than 200mm.

ALL LUE INSTALLATIONS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY O THE
CUSTOMER.
The stove must be connected to a chimney with a minimum continuous draught of 12
Pascal’s (.05” WG). Poor draught conditions will result in poor performance.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Prepare the fireplace area with fireback or millner brick removal. Ensure the opening
is suitable for fitting of the insert stove opening required, i.e. remove fire surround
trim if fitted. See Fig 3
Step 2
Ensure the floor area is
level with the hearth, this
area needs to be level as
the insert fire is screw
fi ed to the floor.
Step 3
Lay the e ternal casing
into the opening and position so that the front edge protrudes 20mm past the front
edge of the opening.
Step 4
Mark the drill location and drill the holes using a 5.5mm drill bit. Fi the casing to the
floor using the self tapping screws provided.
Step 5
Lift the stove into the e ternal casing. Remove all internal parts as per pre-assembly
instructions prior to lifting it. The stove can be lifted into the casing appro imately
75mm first and then it can be pushed into the final position while taking care to lift
the front edge to preserve the hearth.
Step 6
Drop the fle i flue liner down through the chimney and into the stove.

Step 7
Lay the sealing gasket on to the flue spigot, then fit the flue spigot to the end of the
fle i flue liner using the 3 grub screws provided.
Step 8
Then using the M6 screws secure the stove to the convection chamber. Push the insert
stove against the fireplace before fully tightening these bolts.
Step 9
Push the fle i liner back up through the flue outlet and fi the flue spigot into position
using the M8 nuts provided. It may be necessary to cut a prop to hold the spigot in
place while the fi ings are being attached.
Step 10
Complete the installation of the fle i line at the top of the chimney in accordance with
the manufacturers instructions.
Step 11
Fit the individual
components in the following
order:
1. Back Bricks
2. Grate Support
3. Grate
4. Loose Baffle
5. Side Bricks
6. Fire Fence
1. Back Bricks
Lay the side and back bricks
in as shown.
2. Grate Support
Tilt the grate support up on
one side and pass it carefully
through the door opening, it
should then rest on three
supports appro . 100mm
from the floor of the stove
grate.

3. Grate
The grate simply lays into the grate support but care needs to be taken that the
riddling bar will rest in the middle of the fork.
. Loose Baffle
Hold the baffle by the ‘L’ shaped end with the fold turned up. Manoeuvre it
diagonally through the door opening and then drop the rear edge to the rear of the
stove. Lift the ‘L’ shaped edge up over the ‘L’ shape on the side castings.
Move the baffle as far as possible to the front and top. Then lift the back edge up and
allow the baffle to rest on the top rib on the back and in the ‘L’ shape on the side
castings. Note: The secondary air holes must be visible underneath the baffle.
5. Side Bricks
Lay the side and back bricks in as shown.
6. Fire Fence
Lay the fire fence into the slots provided
ensuring that they slope from front to back so
that no embers can fall out through the fire
fence.
- There should be no unauthorized
modification of the appliance;
- Use only replacement parts
recommended by the manufacturer.
2.6 Down Draughts
However well designed constructed and
positioned, the satisfactory performance of the
flue can be adversely affected by down draught
caused by nearby 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 effectively combat direct down blow
but no cowl is likely to prevent down draught
due to a low pressure zone. (See Fig.4)

2.7 Ventilation and Combustion Air Requirements
This appliance is rated less than 5kW, therefore there is no mandatory requirements
for additional air unless a flue draught stabiliser is fitted then the air requirement is
15cm
2
. However, we suggest that it is advantageous to provide an air supply into the
room.
When calculating combustion air requirements for this appliance use the following
equation: 550mm
2
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 300mm
2
for each kW of rated output. If there is another appliance 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 ascertained 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 located 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. E isting air vents should be of the correct size and unobstructed for the
appliance in use. If there is an e traction 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 e ists, a test for spillage should be made with the fan or
fans and other appliances using air in operation at full rate, (i.e. e traction fans,
tumble dryers) with all e ternal doors and windows closed.
If spillage occurs following the above operation, an additional air vent of sufficient
size to prevent this occurrence should be installed.

2.8 Permanent Air Vent Extractor Fan
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 combustion and/or ventilation air. This air
vent should not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.
Extractor an
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.
2.9 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 customer 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 6539 in the presence of children,
aged and/or infirm persons
2.10 Location
There are several conditions to be considered in selecting a location for your stove.
A. This product is designed to be installed into a fire place.
B. Allowances for proper clearances to combustibles.
2.11 Clearance to Combustibles
This appliance must be installed in a recess, the recess should not contain any
combustible materials. Wooden battens and plaster board should not be used within
the clearance to combustibles. The minimum clearance to combustibles required is
550mm to the top, 350mm to the sides, 550mm directly to the front and 350mm to
any combustible flooring.

If the mantlepiece protrudes further than 100mm from the fireplace, then it will be
necessary to have further clearance to the top of the stove. The distance the mantle
protrudes past the 100mm should be added to the clearance.
For e ample, if the mantle protrudes 200mm, the clearance to the mantle should be
650mm. (See Fig6).
If there is a studded wall surrounding the fireplace as in Fig.6, ensure the clearances
in this Fig are adhered to.

2.12 Floor Protection
It is recommended that this appliance is installed on a solid, level, concrete base, a
non combustible hearth conforming to current Building Regulations must e tend to
the front of the appliance.
3.0 User Manual
3.1 Choice of Fuel
Recommended fuel: Wood
- Use hard wood logs.
Although you can fire this product with almost all kinds of wood, you should not fire
with wet wood, or unseasoned wood. Wood ought to be stored under a roof for at least
1 year, and preferably 2 years, with free access to wind. Wood should be chopped as
soon as possible after felling if it is to dry quickly. The wood can be used once the
moisture content is less than 20%. During the EN test, all stoves are tested with wood
with a moisture content of (16 ± 4)%.
- Hardwood has a higher calorific value as the same valume (oak, ash, maple, birch,
elm, beech, etc.).
-Pieces of wood with a diameter greater than 10 cm should always be chopped. The
pieces of wood should be short enough to be able to lie flat over the layer of embers,
with air at both ends. The ma imum length of fuel in the stove no more than 40cm.
Recommended fuel: Smokeless fuels
Smokeless fuels, including coolite nuts, phurnacite, ancit and e tracite.
Not recommended as fuel:
- “green wood”. Green or damp wood reduces stove efficiency and soils the glass, the
internal walls and the flue (soot, tar, etc.).
- “used timbers”. Burning treated wood (railway sleepers, telegraph poles, off cuts of
plywood or chip board, pallets, etc.) quickly clogs the flue ways (soot, tar, etc.),
pollutes the environment (pollution and smell, etc.) and cause the fire to burn too
quickly and overheat.

“Green wood” and “recovered wood” can eventually cause a chimney fire.
Prohibited fuels: plastic bags liquid fuels, waste materials and any form of
bituminous coal or petroleum based coke. This may harm the product and pollute
the atmosphere. The appliance should never be used as an incinerator.
3.2 Use
Odours when using the fireplace for the first time
Painted products: the fireplace may emit an irritating gas when used for the first
time, and it may smell a little. The gas is not to ic, but the room should be thoroughly
ventilated. Let the fire burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas have
disappeared and no smoke or smells can be detected.
Enameled products: Condensation may form on the surface of the fireplace the first
few times it is used. This must be wiped off to prevent permanent stains forming
when the surface heats up.
Air Control:
What you do the National and local laws and building
regulations must be followed.
Figure 8
The amount of heat emitted by the stove is regulated using two air controls. The
primary air supply, where air passes up through the riddling grate, is controlled using
the lower air control and the secondary air (Airwash system), which is supplied to the
combustion over the glass, is controlled using the upper air control.
.2.1 Use with Wood
 Lighting
Figure 8
• Slide the top air control to open. Open the lower control.
• Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a reasonable quantity, if
necessary, of dry kindling wood. Place 2 or 3 small logs on top.
• Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door.
• When the fire is burning fiercely, add further logs of a diameter up to 10 cms.

• When the stove body is very hot, close the lower control.
• The burning rate can now be lowered by moving the top air control to smaller air
inlet.
 Re-fuelling
Figure 8
• Slide the top air control to open. Open the lower control.
• Open the glass door and add logs. (To load fuel, the door should be opened slowly,
avoiding a sudden rush of intake air, so that smoke does not escape into the room.)
• Leave the lower control open for a few minutes to allow the initial volatiles in the
wood to burn.
• Close the lower control.
Very Important: Wood is a material that contains a great deal of gas (appro imately
75 %). The gases are released when the wood is lit and heated up. For this reason, it is
important that the gases are ignited quickly after stoking. If the wood just lies
smouldering, especially after re-stoking, a lot of smoke is created, which, in the worst
case, may cause an e plosive ignition of the gasses, resulting in damage to the stove.
In order to ignite the gases that are released from the wood, and to keep clear, lasting
flames during the combustion process, it is important to let in the required quantity of
o ygen (air supply) at all times. The setting of the air supply, the method of ignition
and the lighting intervals depend on the draught in the chimney, the wind and weather,
the amount of heat required, the fuel, etc. This means that it may take some time
before you get to know the correct functioning of the stove under any given
circumstances
.2.2 Use with Solid Fuel
 Lighting
Figure 8
• Slide the top air control to open. Open the lower control.
• Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a reasonable quantity, if
necessary, of dry kindling wood. Place a small quantity of solid fuel on top.
• Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door.

• When the fire is burning fiercely, add further fuel.
• When the stove body is hot, close the top air control.
• The burning rate can now be adjusted by the lower control.
 Re-fuelling
Figure 8
• Open the lower control.
• Open the glass door and add fuel. ( To load fuel, the door should be opened slowly,
avoiding a sudden rush of intake air, so that smoke does not escape into the room.).
• Leave the lower control open for a few minutes to allow the initial volatiles in the
fuel to burn.
• Adjust the lower control to the desired position.
Very Important: The stove door should never be opened when
the stove is being fired vigorously.
Warning: The firebox and ashpit cover shall be kept closed except during
ignition, refueling and removal of residue material.
 We would strongly recommend that you do not leave your stove alit at night
when burning wood. It harms the environment, and constitutes very poor
use of the wood, as the gases in the wood do not ignite at the low

temperature, but settle as soot (unburned gases) in the chimney and stove.
Extreme conditions, such as poor draught in the chimney, large quantities
of wood or wet wood, may, in the worst-case scenario, cause an explosive
ignition.
 When firing in the summer period, when there is minimal need for heat, the
combustion will be poor. The stove provides too much heat, so the
combustion should be reduced. But always remember to make sure that
there are lasting flames until the wood becomes charcoal. If you want a
weaker fire, stoke up using less wood.
 If you fire the stove using wet wood, a lot of the fuel’s thermal energy will
be spent forcing the water out of the wood, without releasing any heat to
the stove. This incomplete combustion results in a layer of soot being left in
the stove, pipe and chimney.
.2. Ash removal
Fig. 9 How to put out ashpan)
It is essential to keep the grate free from a heavy build up of ashes. This product is
equipped with a grate riddling device which is used to “shake” ashes off the grate into
the ash pan. Whenever the stove is burning without life when the lower control is
open, use the riddling lever to clear the grate of surplus ashes.
If burning solid fuel, always
empty the ash pan at least once
a day or whenever it is full of
ashes. Never allow the ashpan
to overfill allowing ash to be in
contact with the underside of
the grate. If this condition is
allowed, the grate will wear out
pre-maturely.
3.3 Maintenance
The regular maintenance by a competent engineer is recommended.
. .1 Cleaning Glass
This product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is sucked in through the
air vent above the fireplace and down along the inside of the glass.
However, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity will depend on the
local draught conditions and adjustment of the air wash vent. Most of the soot layer

will normally be burned off when the air wash vent is opened all the way and a fire is
burning briskly in the fireplace.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with warm water and add
some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it over the glass and then clean the glass with
clean water. Dry well. If it is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we
recommend using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions on the bottle).
. .2 External Surface Cleaning
The cast surface of the stove is painted with heat-resistant paint. It is best maintained
by simply vacuuming it with a soft brush attachment or wiping it down with a dry,
dust-free cloth.
If the stove is used too vigorously, the painted surface may assume a greyish tinge
over time, but the stove can easily be freshened up with spray paint, which is
available from your local retailer.
. . Gaskets
The gaskets in the door will wear out over time, and should be replaced as required in
order to prevent runaway combustion.
