INTRODUCTION
Please read the following instructions carefully to get the best from your new purchase.
The keys to safe, successful and efficient wood burning are good planning, correct installation and proper operation.
Modern homes have better levels of insulation and are more energy efficient, with more effective and better seals on
doors and windows. This makes our homes easier to heat, but also means that solid fuel appliances must be more
carefully designed so that they will function correctly in the energy efficient, modern homes of today. The more
energy efficient a house is, the less fuel is required to heat it. Less fuel use means less impact on the environment.
The operation of our appliances, so that they do not produce excessive smoke (beyond the initial light up and reloading
periods) is most important. When our appliances are not smoking, it is an indication that it is being operated correctly
and efficiently.
The flames that are seen inside the appliance are not the fuel burning, but the carbon particles and gases that are
released from the fuel once it has been heated to a sufficiently high temperature. The escape of any unburnt
particles and some gases into the atmosphere are the cause of air pollution.
Our appliances are designed to ensure that the combustion of all gases and particles takes place within the firebox, to
maximize the heat output of the appliance and to minimize the discharge of particulate emissions to the atmosphere.
It is important therefore, for appliances to be operated in accordance with our instructions in a manner that
maintains a high temperature in the firebox with an adequate supply of air to ensure efficient combustion. A good
indication of efficient combustion is a bright lively flame in the firebox. A dull flame or smoldering fire indicates poor
or incomplete combustion.
To maintain adequate heat in the firebox, it is very important to use dry, well seasoned wood with less than 20%
moisture content. The wood must be correctly sized for the particular appliance and it also helps to have at least
three or four pieces burning at the one time to assist the combustion process.
Adding single pieces of unseasoned or wet wood to a fire will reduce the firebox temperature and prevent adequate
combustion. This will result in increased smoke emissions causing the flue and internal components of the appliance to
become blocked with tar and creosote more quickly. The tar and creosote deposits in the chimney will fuel a chimney
fire.
These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may
need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current
Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of
the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant recommendations
given in British Standards BS 8303, BS 6461 and BS 7566 as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of
performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved Document J.
We recommend that you seek the services of an installer who is conversant with stove installations and Building
Regulations. The shop where you purchased the stove should be able to help in this respect. It is our general policy to
supply specialist Fireplace shops and these shops can offer an after sales service and offer advice when necessary.
Please note that it is a requirement under Broseley Fires Ltd’s warranty system that the installation of the
appliance is carried out 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.

2. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
To minimize the impact on the environment the following issues need to be considered when proposing to
install a solid fuel appliance:
•Local authorities (Councils) must be consulted for any restrictions that may apply to the use of
solid fuel appliances in certain areas such as smoke free zones.
•The appliance must be correctly sized to suit the space and necessary clearances must be strictly
adhered to.
•The appliance and flue system must be correctly installed to the current regulations in force at
the time.
•The appliance must be correctly operated.
•The appliance and flue system must be properly maintained.
•It is also important to ensure that the dwelling to be heated is insulated and is as energy efficient
as is practical.
•The correct fuel must be used.
The selection, installation, correct use and maintenance of solid fuel appliances and flue systems are
discussed in more detail in the following sections of these instructions.
3. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
These continuous fire cookers are suitable for cooking on the hob and in the oven. They will also heat living
spaces or support a central heating system. They are ideal for holiday apartments and weekend houses or
as a heating / cooking system during the whole year.
The cooker has been designed and developed to burn wood.
The cooker is made of galvanized metal sheet, cast iron and thermo radiant “Italian majolica” ceramic
tiles. These are available in various colours. A soap-stone version is also available.
Inside the fire chamber, there is a flat, cast iron grate.
The boiler wraps around three sides of the chamber and also protrudes over the top of the oven.
To optimize the efficiency of the boiler, its corrugated shape has been designed to give a terrific surface
area; this heats the water more efficiently. The appliance has a panoramic door, fitted with ceramic glass
(resistant up to 700 °C). This allows a wonderful view of the burning flames.
Under the oven door there is a food warming compartment, furnished with a cast iron door that has a
spinner to adjust the temperature within.
The heating of the room in which the cooker is located is achieved through the external surfaces of the
cooker.
The appliance is equipped with primary and secondary air controls, by which it is possible to control the
burn rate and hence the output of the appliance. There is a damper control for when you wish to operate
the oven.

©2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd
4.0 THE ‘AIR’ CONTROLS
The stove is fitted with controls that adjust the flow of air into the unit. It is very important that these
controls are fully understood in order to achieve the best results from your stove.
When operating the controls, ensure that they are used in small increments and not changed by large
amounts suddenly. Do not use them like an on – off switch.
It is important that the following controls are used correctly in order to prevent over-firing and to ensure
efficient combustion.
The air controls are as follows:
•PRIMARY AIR CONTROL
•SECONDARY AIR CONTROL (AIR WASH)
•DAMPER CONTROL
•THERMOSTAT CONTROL (boiler version only)
4A THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL (turning valve)
The primary air control is found on the front of the ash door, it is in the style of a spinner.
This will be used when initially lighting and establishing a fire. This control introduces air from below the
grate on which the fuel is laid.
The ash drawer must be regularly emptied, so that the ash does not obstruct the entry of primary air.
The chamber in which the drawer is housed will also need to be cleaned on a regular basis, as any ash that
spills over the sides of the pan will get pushed to the rear of the chamber and interfere with the
thermostat control damper. Failure to keep this area clear will result in the damper being stuck in the
open position.
4B SECONDARY AIR CONTROL (slider)
Over the hearth door you will find the ‘secondary air control’ in the style of a slider.
Combustion air entering the stove through this vent will be directed down the inside of the glass panel,
this is known as the ‘air wash system’. It helps to keep sooty deposits from sticking to the glass and
obscuring the view of the flames. Having clean glass also improves the heat radiation to be uninterrupted.
This control will be used to control the combustion rate of the fuel inside the firebox (once a fire is
established).

©2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd
4C FLUE DAMPER CONTROL BAR (pull push lever)
The ‘flue damper control’, in the style of a pull push lever, can be found on the top right corner of the
front side of the cooker, between the protection bar and the oven door.
FLUE DAMPER
CONTROL
This control has two settings.
•HOB COOKING ONLY: When the bar is pushed to the back of the cooker, the combustion
gases flow over the oven and directly into the flue and up the chimney.
•OVEN COOKING: When the control bar is pulled out, the hot combustion gases flow around
the oven, heating it, then they exit the stove. This control is operated,
Only when the fire is established and burning HOT.
PLEASE READ CHAPTER ON ‘Lighting and maintaining your fire’ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
4D THE THERMOSTAT CONTROL (dial) fitted to the BOILER VERSION only
The thermostat control is positioned on the drawer below the oven. It is in the form of a dial and is
numbered between 0 and 5. The non boiler version has a warming drawer here, because of the position of
the control on the boiler version; the use of this drawer is unfortunately lost.
The dial controls a damper that allows air to enter the stove from behind the ash pan.
It is used to regulate the burn rate of the fire and keep it at a constant heat output, irrespective of the
fuel load. When wanting to control the stove using the thermostatic control, the primary and secondary
controls must be shut.
According to the chosen position of the thermostat dial, the damper will react slowly and alter the
combustible air entering the unit. This is the how a fire would naturally respond to changing air supply.
Move clockwise from 0 to 5 to revive the fire and from 5 to 0; anticlockwise; in order to reduce the
combustion.
As it a high precision device, we recommend you move the dial slowly and with care and never to force it.
The thermostat control must not be used to build the fire up suddenly, and then shut it down suddenly.
This is of no benefit and may cause serious damage to the internal components of the cooker or the
control itself.
FIG. 1

4E THE ‘LIFTING GRATE’. Operation and cleaning process. Fitted to the BOILER VERSION only
The Thermorosa has a grate that is liftable by means of a crank. The square peg that the crank handle
attaches to is found behind the door, just above the ash drawer.
This feature allows you to crank the grate closer to the underside of the hob.
Doing this in the Thermorosa will allow you send less heat to the water; as the heat passing through the
side panels in the fire chamber will absorb less heat the higher and closer to the hob you position the
grate.
If you are cooking on the hob only and have no need to keep the fire going, when you have finished, you can
lift the grate closer to the hob as the fire is diminishing to allow you to get the best heat from the fire as
it slowly dies.
Ensure that you keep the fire chamber and the crank mechanism clean and well maintained. This will allow
you to use this feature to its best. If the grate is restricted in any way, it will be almost impossible to
move.
To clean the mechanism that cranks the grate, just lift out the grate (when it is cold) and this will expose
the rack and screw. Brush any loose ash from the top of the rack and crank the unit up and down; (without
the grate in place); to ensure that the screw is free. The inside of the fire chamber will need to be freed
of any soot deposits, as this will impinge the progress of the grate as it is raised or lowered.
Before replacing the grate, ensure that ALL the ash that has accumulated in the ash pan and the ash
drawer is removed, before re-installing the grate and the ash pan. Failure to do this will cause the ash
that is in the ash drawer getting pushed to the rear of the chamber and possibly interfering with the
damper control that is there. It is important that the damper control is not restricted in any way.
4 F OVER-FIRING WARNING
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOT TO LEAVE ALL OF THE AIR CONTROLS FULLY OPEN.
LEAVING THE AIR CONTROL FULLY OPEN WILL LEAD TO “OVER-FIRING”. OVER-FIRING IS
CAUSED WHEN TOO MUCH HEAT IS GENERATED WITHIN THE FIRE CHAMBER, THIS WILL
LEAD TO WARPING, BUCKLING AND GENERAL DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND ITS INTERNAL
COMPONENTS. OVER-FIRING CAN ALSO BE CAUSED BY RUNNING THE APPLIANCE WITH THE
DOOR(S) OPEN OR IF YOU HAVE AN EXCESSIVE FLUE DRAW. PLEASE NOTE ANY DAMAGE TO
THE APPLIANCE CAUSED THROUGH OVER-FIRING WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

5.0 FUEL ADVICE
The appliance has been designed to burn wood; all figures stated in our literature are based on test firings
carried out using beech with a moisture content of less than 20%.
You need to use good quality fuel in order to get the best results from your stove.
5A BURNING WOOD
Most firewood you purchase will be green and have a fair amount of water content. It will need to be
stored in a well ventilated shelter to season (this can take several years depending on the moisture
content of the wood).
Wood used in this appliance must have a moisture content of less than 20%. Damp or wet wood will quickly
form tar deposits on all the internal areas where the combustible gasses travel. They will coat the boiler
and the outside of the oven, preventing the efficient heating of both.
The inside of the chimney/flue will also be coated, there is a greater risk of a chimney fire occurring.
Always use good quality wood, store it under cover in a well ventilated area.
Avoid burning oak bark, as this forms tar at a very fast rate.
When selecting wood, also take into consideration ease of splitting, ease of ignition and burning, how much
smoke it produces and its "coaling" qualities. "Coaling" refers to the ability of a species of wood to form a
long- lasting bed of hot coals when burned. Coaling qualities improve with higher density.
6.0 INITIAL BURNING AND CURING OF THE APPLIANCE
The first few times that the appliance is lit, there will be an odour given off. This is the components of
the appliance curing. It will be necessary to ventilate the room in which the appliance is sited.
The first firing needs to be done carefully to allow all of the components of the appliance to settle
gradually. Never try to run the appliance flat out the first time you light it. Gradually build up the output
of the fire so that no sudden stresses are put on the components of the appliance.

©2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd
6A. USING YOUR STOVE - IMPORTANT NOTES:
This appliance must be installed and commissioned by a fully qualified, registered engineer. HETAS
engineers are recommended by Broseley Fires. For your nearest search www.hetas.co.uk
THE SURFACES OF THIS APPLIANCE GET HOT WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS LIT. PLEASE ENSURE
THAT CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY AND THE INFIRM ARE MADE AWARE OF THIS.
•As with all heating appliances, the surfaces will all become very hot whilst in use, therefore
due care must be taken when near the appliance.
•Serious damage can result if the appliance is left running with the air controls fully open for
extended periods.
•Make sure that none of the doors are left open while the appliance is in operation.
•Never leave the appliance unattended during the initial lighting sequence.
•Do not attempt to open the door immediately after igniting the fire. This could cause a flame
flash out.
•Always wear the protective gloves when operating the appliance.
•Never burn treated wood (this includes paint, glue and any other chemicals).
•Do not overload the appliance with fuel.
•Never use chemicals or fluids such as gasoline, charcoal lighter, drain oil or kerosene to light a
fire.
•Using the appliance on a very low output will cause excessive amounts of tar to build up inside
the flue and can be a serious fire risk, as this will fuel a chimney fire.
•We advise that you have the appliance serviced annually by a competent heating engineer
before the beginning of a new heating season.
•Don’t attempt to light the fire if there is a risk that any part of the system is frozen.
7 OVEN OPERATION (only once fire is well established)
DO NOT pull out the damper control for the oven until the fire is established and creating a high heat output.
•If you wish to use the oven, open the damper control by pulling the control rod.
Once the fuel is burning intensely, the hot smoke can be sent round the oven to heat it.
You will be sending the smoke round the oven, if you operate the damper too quickly when the fire is
not hot enough this will cause tar deposits to form, that will stick to the outside of the oven walls and
the boiler. These tar deposits will substantially reduce the speed at which the oven and water gets up
to temperature. You will need to remove them to allow the appliance to operate efficiently.
•To check if your stove is burning effectively, burn your stove at different rates, go outside and
check the emissions from your chimney. The absence of smoke indicates that your stove is burning
cleanly and effectively.
When re-fuelling the appliance, open the air controls and the flue damper, this helps prevent smoke from
entering the room through the door when opened. Do not allow ash to build up to an excessive level as this
will prevent air from entering the chamber from underneath the grate (when using the automatic
thermostat control).

©2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd
8. LIGHTING AND MAINTAINING A LOG FIRE
All chimneys and flues act differently. After a while, you will find out how your unit works best for starting.
•Use scrunched up paper and dry kindling to start the fire. Lay these on the grate.
•Open the primary and secondary air controls. The thermostat control should be set to number 5.
•The damper control; just under the hand rail; should be pushed in. This will open the damper to the
chimney fully and create the best condition for the lighting of the fire.
•It will take a few minutes for the fire to establish itself.
•When the fire is burning hot, add small pieces of hardwood.
•Keep all the draft controls fully open till a bed of hot, glowing embers is established.
•Once you have some red hot burning embers, open the door and rake the embers evenly over the
grate before adding larger pieces of wood.
•We suggest that you do not fully load the appliance until you have become completely familiar with
the operation of ALL the controls.
•For best results, in an ideal situation, open the primary air control one third open and the
secondary air control completely open. The output of the appliance can now be controlled using the
thermostat control.
•Do not open the loading door too quickly when reloading the appliance as this can cause flames to
flash out the door. This occurs when there is unburned fuel and a large amount of gases in the top
of the firebox. When the door is opened, oxygen is combined with the gases and these ignite,
causing a ‘mini explosion’.
•The maximum size of the logs (when refuelling an established fire) should be 30 cm’s long and 30-
40cm’s in circumference.
•DO NOT overload the fire chamber with wood, as this will insulate the boiler from the fire.
•Do not burn painted or varnished woods, MDF, oak bark or wood with more than 20% humidity.
9 ASH REMOVAL
•The removal of the ashes should be done when the appliance is cold.
Ashes must be removed periodically for the correct and efficient operation of your appliance.
Don’t wait till the ash pan's completely full. The frequency of this ash removal will depend on the type of
wood being burned as softwood and hardwood create differing amounts of ash.
Keep in mind that cleaning your appliance boosts its efficiency, as ash, soot or tar deposits will block the
heat from coming out of the appliance and also the transfer of heat to the oven, the hob and the boiler.
Excess ash in the pan can cause the fire to go out and may also cause severe damage to your grates. It will
also block the damper control located at the rear of the ash pan chamber.
If there is ash inside the ash pan chamber, this will also need removing. If not removed it may get pushed
into the damper control aperture; located at the rear of the ash pan chamber; preventing the thermostat
control from working correctly. Periodical inspection is recommended.
CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE......

©2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd
Take care when removing the ash, as small bits of hot embers can stay dormant for long periods when
buried in ashes. These will then flare up again when exposed to oxygen; some knowledge of proper ash
removal is required for safety. Here are the important points:
Remove ashes to a metal container using a small trowel. Never vacuum the ashes unless it is a genuine
‘Ash Vac’. This is a vacuum you can buy at hearth shops; it is specifically designed for ash removal.
•Place the filled ash bucket on a non-combustible surface such as stone, concrete, brick, or slate,
as the heat will transfer through the bottom of the container. Fit a lid for extra safety.
For your own protection, a pair of heat proof gloves and a dust mask may be necessary.
10.0 OPERATING IN TRANSITION PERIODS (Summer)
When the outside temperature gets to be more than the temperature within the property, there is a
strong possibility of the flue working in reverse. If the appliance is not lit, this will cause the draught of
the flue to travel in a downward direction and the smell of smoke will be obvious in the room.
If you experience problems lighting the appliance because of the greater outside temperature, then it will
be necessary to warm the flue before loading the appliance with kindling. There are various methods for
this procedure. Ask your local supplier or registered chimney sweep for advice.
If the fire is lit, the heat output of the appliance is often reduced and the exhaust gases may not come
out the chimney completely. This can cause them to come back into the room.
In this case,
•shake the embers more frequently,
•increase the air for combustion and
•Only load a reduced quantity of fuel.
This will help to keep the chimney hot and working efficiently.
Check that all the seals of the appliance are in good order and that the connections to the chimney are
also sound.
11.0 MAINTENANCE - CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Take great care choosing the products you use to clean your appliance. A major amount of cleaning can be
carried out using hot soapy water and a soft cloth. Using the wrong products will cause damage to its
surfaces. Never use bleach or chlorine based products, caustic cleaners, paint solvents, biological powders,
coarse abrasives or salt.
Never mix different products as they may cause a chemical reaction with each other and cause harm to
either you or the appliance.
12A RECOMMENDED CLEANING PRODUCTS
For the more stubborn stains, a mildly abrasive cleaner should be used, such as ‘Astonish’.
This is safe to use on enamel surfaces. Do not use Astonish on the chrome components.
For any further information, please contact your Dealer!

©2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd
12B DAILY CARE
To keep the surfaces of your appliance bright and clean, a daily wipe over with a lint free cloth, soaked in
hot water and a little soap is all that is needed.
To buff the cleaned surfaces, a soft, dry, lint free cloth should be used.
In order to keep your appliance in tip top condition, it is necessary to wipe up any spills or condensation
streaks as soon as is safe to do so. (i.e. when the unit is cold)
This will prevent the mark burning onto the appliance and becoming a much tougher stain to remove at a
later date, or causing a permanent mark. Try not to use excessive amounts of water when cleaning the
appliance.
12C CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE:
The appliance has three main surface finishes; these should be cleaned when the appliance is cool.
The cooking surface is cast iron and can be cleaned with a lint free damp cloth. Do not leave this surface
wet as it will go rusty.
The side panels of the stove are Italian Majolica tiles that are completely hand-made.
The majolica tiles may show micro crackles, speckles, and shadings. These characteristics certify their
precious origin.
For the cleaning of the majolica tiles, we suggest you use a soft, dry cloth; do not use detergent or liquid,
the latter might soak in and make the crackles more visible.
The doors of the appliance are solid cast iron and painted with heat proof paint. These can also be cleaned
with a lint free damp cloth, and then wiped over with a dry cloth. Should re-painting be necessary, contact
your local supplier for a can of paint.
12D ASH REMOVAL:
Not only does the appliance need to have the ash removed from the ash pan and fire chamber, but also
from around the outside of the oven and boiler section. Because of the way in which the appliance works;
by sending hot smoke and gasses around the boiler and oven before exiting up the chimney; there will
inevitably be soot deposits on these components.
To clean these out, it is necessary to remove the hob rings and then the hob ring surround. It is only held
in position by its weight and care should be taken when lifting because of this.
Once removed, you will have access to the area above the fire box, the boiler section and the top of the
oven. To get access to the area down the right hand side of the oven, remove the rectangular plate to the
right of the hob ring surround. This also just lifts out.
To gain access under the oven, you can remove the base plate of the oven. This is easily done by removing
the two screws at the front edge of the plate. This plate has been sealed in position using a heat proof
silicone sealant. This may need to be reinstated if the old seal leaks when the plate is replaced.
The efficient operation of your appliance is dependant on its correct operation and maintenance. Leaving
soot to accumulate inside the areas mentioned above, will drastically reduce the output of the appliance
and prevent it from doing what it is designed to.
12E GLASS CLEANING:
There are various glass cleaners you can buy at stove shops that are specially designed to remove
hydrocarbon (soot) and fly ash (mineral) deposits from the glass. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Typically, just spray a small amount of cleaner on the glass and use a paper towel or rag to wipe it clean.
If you only burn logs in your appliance, then you can dip a damp cloth in the ash and use this to scrub the
glass clean.

©2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd
12F FLUE MAINTAINENCE:
If your appliance is installed into an existing chimney, you will need to clean the chimney as well as the flue
pipe at least twice a year. To do this you will need the appropriate sized chimney brush and rods. Call a
certified chimney sweep (National Association of Chimney Sweeps) or other qualified professional to clean
the flue system. These professionals have the equipment and the experience to do a thorough job. The
sweep will advise you as to the intervals that you should have your flue swept. We would recommend that
you have it swept at least twice a year, but you may need to sweep it more.
Get them to inspect the condition of all the associated chimney items at the same time.
Be sure to check the pipe at least once every six months to determine if it has corroded.
12G ROPE SEALS:
For the appliance to operate correctly, it is important that all the seals; where fitted; are in good
condition and are sealing correctly. They should be replaced if they are showing excessive signs of fraying
and are not making a good seal. They are glued into position using a high temperature, flexible, silicone
sealant
12H AIR CONTROLS:
Ensure that all the air controls operate smoothly and are free from ash or other foreign bodies.

©2007-2008 Broseley Fires Ltd
13.0 INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
This appliance must be installed and commissioned by a fully qualified, registered engineer. A “Declaration
of completion Certificate” must be obtained for the installation and retained by the end user. Failure to
comply with these requirements may void your warranty.
INSTALLATION - BOILER MODELS ONLY
All boiler models are fitted with 2 water pipe connection bosses each with a 1.0 inch BSP female tapping
located on the outside rear face of the appliance.
The primary circuit supply to the hot water cylinder must be a minimum 28mm diameter pipe. The ‘flow’
pipe must exit the appliance vertically from the top connection boss; this ensures good convectional flow
and allows all air to evacuate the boiler.
If horizontal pipe runs are essential, air bleed valves must be incorporated where air locks are prone to
occur. The hot water cylinder must be of the ‘indirect’ type. This is where the domestic hot water taps
supply remains separate from the water circulating through the boiler and radiators.
If standard radiators and hot water cylinder are already installed, this will normally be an ‘indirect’
system. The heating engineer will be able to confirm the type of system installed.
An indirect system will not cause timescale problems in the same way that a direct system may.
Fitted to the ‘primary return’ pipe, close to the stove location but shielded from the direct heat of the
stove, or, alternatively, a surface mounted thermostat fitted directly to the hot water cylinder. The
thermostat should be set to switch the water pump ‘ON’ when the water temperature reaches at least
60 - 65 degrees C. The thermostat will ensure that the hot water cylinder will have priority to the supply
of heat from the boiler, this is particularly important when the fire in the stove has been damped down
for overnight burning.
The secondary circuit supply to the radiators must have pipe diameter sizes, appropriate to the system
design for a solid fuel appliance. Pipe sizes will depend on the length and height of pipe runs, the number
and sizes of radiators and their sequence on the circuit. These sizes are critical for the correct operation
of the appliance.
Minimum Plumbing Requirements
This appliance must be installed on an open vented system
Thermal Regulatory Valve – 3-Way Valve
A Thermal Regulatory Valve must be installed on the system. This valve prevents cold water return into
the boiler. This “Bypass” improves efficiency, reduces condensation and actively prolongs the longevity of
the boiler. Once the desired temperature is met (60°C) the valve opens allowing the hot water to flow
throughout the remainder of the system.
There are many valves available on the market Broseley Fires recommends the ESBE VTC511 Load Valve
60°C is readily available in the UK and is ideal for this situation.
The valve must be located in between the initial flow and return run and fitted as per the diagram below.

IMPORTANT lack of installation of the device voids the boiler warranty.
NOTE.
•An existing gas-fired central heating system being replaced with a solid fuel system may
require certain water pipe sizes to be increased.
•A continuously running pump will result in tepid water circulating around the system and is
detrimental to efficiency of the appliance. It may also prevent the radiators and domestic
hot water supply from reaching design temperatures.
•A time switch is not necessary.
•Do not light the fire before the boiler has been connected to the water system, serious
damage may occur.
•Ensure that the correct amounts of radiators are fitted to the system.

14.0 FLUE REQUIREMENTS
The chimney is possibly the most important part to your installation; great care should be given to its
design. An older chimney, in need of repair, is a fire hazard in any installation.
The chimney must be thoroughly swept, checked for soundness and suitability, before any connection is
made to the appliance. This must be carried out by a qualified person.
•This appliance must be installed into a ‘Class 1 Chimney’. If there is no existing chimney, then an
approved solid fuel, factory built, prefabricated block type or a twin walled, stainless steel flue
can be used. Get advice from a qualified chimney engineer.
•The flue diameter of this appliance must be a minimum of 150mm.
•In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily, the chimney height must not be less than 4
meters measured vertically from the stove outlet to the top of the chimney.
•Adequate access for sweeping the flue, such as a soot door, must be provided. This will
dramatically improve the ease of cleaning and sweeping of the flue.
•Flue pipe should be fitted inside the flue pipe collar (spigot) to prevent creosote and condensates
from running down onto the top of the appliance.
•All flue pipe has to be suitable for solid fuel and fitted in accordance with building regulations,
whilst complying with current legislation and manufacturers’ instructions.
•If excessive draw is present, then a suitable draught stabilizer should be fitted.
This must be fitted in the same room as the appliance is located.
•If the chimney suffers from down draught, then a special ‘anti-downdraught’ cowl will need to be
fitted. In exposed windy locations, a ‘stabilizing’ cowl may need to be fitted. The minimum cowl
requirement that we recommend, is a rain cowl with a bird guard.
•No flue sharing with other appliances is allowed.
•If a rear flue is able to be fitted, the horizontal length must be no longer than 150mm.
15.0 LINING THE FLUE
An insulated chimney is the most efficient and safe way to flue the appliance.
A standard chimney will gradually get saturated in tar, this is a fire hazard.
Tar stains may appear on the surface of the chimney breast inside the property.
16.0 SITING THE APPLIANCE
This appliance must not be fitted into a location where it will be impossible to service.
The location must comply with the requirements laid down in the building regulations.
