CANTERBURY MULTIFUEL STOVE

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

Thank You

May we take this opportunity to thank you for choosing a Canterbury, cast iron

Multi-fuel stove. Please take time to read this manual and follow the guidelines on

how to install and operate your new stove, as we feel sure it will enable you to use it

to its best advantage for many years.

The term multi-fuel refers to the fact that the appliance is capable of burning both

wood and coal. Both of these fuels have very different requirements if they are to burn

correctly. The air controls on the appliance allow the chosen fuel to burn efficiently.

On an open fire, the necessary conditions to allow both wood and coal to burn is done

so at the expense of efficiency, sending more than 80% of the heat produced straight

up into the chimney. The efficiency figures for our M/F stoves are much higher as

there is far greater control over the combustion air entering and leaving the appliance.

See the sections on “Burning Wood” and “Burning Coal” for more details. After

reading this document, if there is anything you are unsure about, please contact your

dealer or our Technical Support Department on 01743 461444.

Health and safety precautions

Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the

Health and 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 wash immediately with plenty of water.

Asbestos

This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in

the course of installation then please seek specialist 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.

INSTALLATION OF STOVE

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. It is most likely that the shop where

you purchased the stove will be able to help in this respect. It is our general

policy to supply specialist Fireplace shops. These shops can offer an after sales

service and will be able to offer advice when necessary.

Please note that it is a requirement under the Broseley Fires Ltd’s

warranty system that the installation of the stove 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.

Stove Performance

In the UK the stove has been approved by HETAS Ltd as an intermittent operating appliance for

burning manufactured or naturally occurring smokeless fuels and wood logs only. It

should be noted that it is an offence to burn wood logs in this stove if it is installed within a

Smoke Control Area in the UK.

The nominal heat outputs for the stove are as follows:

Heat Output 9.5 kW Smokeless fuels

10 kW wood logs

Additional Air A permanent air entry opening or openings with a total free

area of at least 550mm2 per Kw of appliance rated output

above 5Kw. If a flue draught stabiliser is used, extra

ventilation will be required.

Hearth

Your stove must be installed on a solid, level non-combustible hearth and with a gap

of at least 600mm from any combustible material such as beams or skirting. The

hearth protrusion in front of the stove to carpets or wooden floors must be at least

300mm. As it is possible, that on opening the door of the stove for fuel to fall out, a

fender must be fitted if the hearth is flush with the carpet. These are just a few hearth

specifications. Please refer to Building Regulations Approved Document J (Hearths)

for more specific details.

The appliance should be sited in a properly constructed brick fireplace or recess

allowing a gap of 100mm all round, at the rear and both sides. The fireplace walls

must be made of solid non combustible material and at least 75mm thick. It is possible

to reduce the all round clearance to 75mm but this will reduce the ability of the

appliance to heat the room and could lead to over firing of the stove and structural

damage to the surround. If this reduced air gap is unavoidable it will be necessary to

increase the thickness of the surrounding wall to 200mm. If the air gap around the

appliance is reduced to 75mm, then increase the gap above to 375mm to allow the air

to move into the room. The hearth should be level and the appliance fitted at right

angles to it. Fireplace walls need to be at least 1.2m above the hearth and at least

300mm above the appliance. The hearth has to be able to support the weight of the

appliance and any flue bearing down upon it. The clearance distances to combustible

material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls adjacent to the hearth

should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in

Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.

Chimney

This appliance must not be fitted into a chimney serving another heating appliance. It

is most important that there is no obstruction in the flue or chimney. Please ensure

that any existing chimney is clear of obstruction and swept clean immediately before

installation of the stove. If the chimney has been used for an open fire it is

recommended that it be swept for a second time having been used for a month

following installation. As a closed appliance operates at a higher flue temperature, it is

possible for deposits that were previously adhered, to be dislodged, with the

consequent risk of flue blockage.

A flue draught of minimum 1.5mm (14.71 Pascal’s) to a maximum 2.5mm (24.52

Pascal’s) water gauge is required for satisfactory appliance performance. A properly

built masonry or factory constructed chimney, preferably with a height of 5 metres or

more, should ensure a consistent draught (draw) under a variety of weather

conditions. The flue draught should be checked under fire at high output and if it

exceeds the recommended maximum, a draught stabiliser must be fitted so that the

rate of burning can be controlled, and to prevent over firing (see 5 below). If you have

any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer/stockist.

The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance

with the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J.

If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or

other faults which might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may

have chimney faults or the cross section may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x

230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice, if

necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for

solid fuel must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document

If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in

accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled

insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.

This stove requires a chimney (not the flue pipe) with a diameter of 225mm (9”). If

the chimney and cavity are larger, this may result in less than optimum performance

to an extent where it may require a liner to improve the draw and performance of the

stove. The liner diameter must not be less than 6”. Certain cowls improve the draw of

a chimney. If the draw on the chimney is excessive, a flue damper will help to slow

this down. A flue damper is not supplied. The damper must be easy to operate and the

blade must have an open area of at least 20 square centimetres for a flue of this size.

An excessive draw may cause over firing and thus cause the internal components of

the stove to wear out quicker.

Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90°bends

should not be used. Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must

be provided for sweeping the chimney and connecting flupipe.

SUMMARY OF FLUE PROBLEMS

Connection to Chimney Flue

A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is

not suitable for using for the complete chimney. It is important that the connection

between the stove spigot and the flue pipe is effectively sealed with glass fibre rope

and/or cement to prevent harmful gases leaking into the room. The diameter of the

flue spigot (pre fibre roped) provided with the stove is 5” (125mm) and can be fitted

to the rear or the top of the stove and must be tightly fitted to the opening. Air must

not be drawn in at this point as it will affect the stoves performance. The stove may be

fitted with a 6” (150 mm) flue pipe as this will extend the intervals between sweeping.

This requires an adapter to be connected to the spigot. Your installer can supply this.

If you obtain this independently, make sure the adapter is compatible with the flue

pipe as not all manufacturers pipes are cross compatible. A 5” (125mm) flue pipe is

sufficient if you are only burning smokeless or low volatiles fuel but attention must be

paid to any build up of deposits in the flue and regular cleaning undertaken. Fuels

such a bituminous coal, untreated wood or compressed paper are not smokeless or low

volatiles fuel.

To get the best transfer of heat from the stove into the room there are two factors to

consider when installing into a fireplace recess.

Firstly, the flue pipe from the stove must pass through either a top or back

‘register plate’. A top register plate is the term used for a flat plate which is

installed inside the chimney (usually out of sight) to prevent heat in the room

being drawn up the chimney to waste when using the top or rear flue outlet. A

back register plate is the term used for a flat plate which is installed over the

opening of the fireplace recess when using the rear flue outlet. This register plate

must be made of a non-combustible material such as steel, asbestolux, or

masterboard. It is advisable to seal this register plate to the walls of the chimney

and also around the flue pipe. Provision of a trap door in this closure plate, or a

soot door in the flue for access to clean the chimney from time to time, is

recommended. When using the rear outlet it is advisable to infill the chimney

space underneath the outlet level to prevent debris falling into the void and being

inaccessible.

Secondly, the more forward the stove can be sited on the hearth, the more heat

will be radiated into the room. To achieve this, the back flue outlet is favoured

but remember the 600mm clearance distance from combustible materials and the

300mm distance to the front of the hearth.

Combustion Air Supply

In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air

supply into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is

particularly necessary in modern houses where drafts have been almost eliminated by

double glazing etc.

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can

cause the stove to emit fumes into the room. It is necessary to install a wall vent to

provide the necessary combustion air and to prevent the depletion of oxygen in the

room.

The minimum requirement for this stove is a vent measuring 50x55mm giving a total

area of 2750 square millimetres. This does not have to be in an outside wall and may

be sited at the top of an internal wall perhaps adjacent to a hallway. This will allow air

entering the room to mix with the warm air, reducing the effects of draughts. It is not

permissible to ventilate into a room with another burning appliance. If there is a

forced ventilation system in the building check that the operation of this does not

cause fumes from the appliance to enter the building rather than exit up the flue.

Firebrick Unstallation

Stage 5

Insert the right hand panel into the stove

(smooth side facing into the stove) The

firebrick locates into the rear panels and

beside the grate support of the stove. You

will need to hold the baffle up whilst

inserting the side panel

Stage 1

Insert the left hand firebrick

down the side of the grate

casting. The smooth side faces

into the stove.

Stage 2

Insert the lower (flat) panel into the stove. The

rear firebrick sits behind the grate support. The

side panel locates into the groove on the rear

anel.

Stage 3

Insert the top part of the rear fire brick

it locates on top of the lower part of the

brick, this also locates onto the side

anel.

Stage 4

Place the baffle plate into the stove, this

locates onto the side and rear plate of

the firebricks.

Stage 6

Finally insert the front fire bar

as shown and then the triangle

hoppers (if required)

Commission/Handover

Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions for “Assembly” given

above.

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 atmosphere.

Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.

On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that this installation and

operation manual for the stove is 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 fireguard to BS 6539 in the presence of children,

aged and/or infirm persons. Advise the user not to fit an extract fan in the same room

as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room.

Ash Pan

The ash pan can be removed using the double end of the poker which fits under

the top lip of the ash pan. Care must be exercised when opening the ash pan door

as the handle and this part of the stove will be very hot. Use the glove provided.

Do not put hot ashes into anything other than a metal container unless you know

the ashes are cold. Ash pan removal is best done when either the contents of the

ashpan have cooled or the stove is out, as some red hot coals can be covered by

the ash and may be unseen. Take care not to drop any of the contents of the ash

pan on carpet or soft furnishings. Only a slight contact of hot ash may burn a hole.

If you remove hot ashes from the stove, use some protection for the floor covering

adjacent to the hearth, to account for accidental spillage and always use gloves.

Air Controls

The stove is fitted with a primary air control and a secondary air control (air wash)

which together control the rate at which the fuel is burned. The sections “Air-wash

system” and “Starting and maintaining the fire” give more detail of their operation

and usage.

Primary Air Control Secondary Air Control (Open)

Air-wash System

This is a system where secondary air is drawn into the stove (by combustion)

through the top vent slide and deflected down the back face of the glass, thus

preventing the smoke coming into contact with the glass. It does not mean that

you will never have to clean the glass, but substantially lengthens the periods

between having to do so. The air-wash system works best when burning dry wood

at high temperature. Wet and pitchy wood will produce more deposits on the

glass. Also, deposits will form on the back of the glass when the stove is operated

on low heat for extended periods.

The ‘air wash’ is controlled via the slider knob situated towards the top of the

stove; it is this ‘air-wash’ that keeps a clean and uninterrupted view of the fire,

and good secondary combustion of the fuel. This helps to reduce emissions into

the chimney and environment. Sliding the knob to the right opens the vent

allowing more air into the fire so making it burn faster and hotter. Closing the vent

slows the combustion rate and in this way you are able to control the rate at which

the fire burns.

The fire needs some air to burn so closing down all the air supply will make the

fire go out. Experience with the fire will show you the right balance of fuel and air

to get the best out of your stove. This stove will burn overnight using Phurnacite.

This can be achieved by closing down the secondary air and running the primary

air at a minimum, which would usually be set at about one third of the usual

running position. In the morning, open the air controls fully to re-establish the fire.

Then de-ash and refuel in the normal way adjusting the air controls accordingly.

OPEN

CLOSED

The Opening and Closing Grate

The grate mechanism allows ash to drop through into the ashpan, therefore

collecting ash prior to being removed. This allows proper circulation of air

throughout the under grate area. When burning solid fuels, keep the grate in the

open position. When burning wood logs, ash should be allowed to build up, so

keep the grate in the closed position. The grate mechanism can be operated by

pulling or pushing the control on the bottom right hand side of the stove. When

burning solid fuel place the grate hoppers in the left and right hand sides of the

grate. This will assist the fuel to move to the centre of the stove creating a more

even burn of the fuel.

Curing the Stove

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. This curing process may have been undertaken by your installer

as part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover and the installer should have

shown you how to operate the stove correctly.

Your stove is made of a number of cast iron components and we recommended

that the first burn should be a small fire for about 30 minutes. This enables the

stresses and strains at the joints to be taken up and settle gradually. The second

burn can be a larger fire for an hour. During the curing process, the stove will

give off a pungent smell and some fumes. This is the paint curing and is quite

normal. Provide ventilation whilst this is happening since the fumes can be quite

strong and may set off smoke alarms in the room. The paint may become slightly

lighter in colour when the stove is cured, particularly in the hottest spots. Fire

Grate polish can be used to keep the stove in good condition, or stove spray paint

can be used to re-touch the stove. The correct stove spray can be obtained from

your stove stockist.

Permanent air vent

The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate

safely and efficiently. In accordance with current Building Regulations the

installer should have fitted 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 off or sealed.

Recommended Fuels

This appliance has obtained approval from HETAS Ltd., for burning the

following fuels – Manufactured and natural smokeless fuels, and wood logs only.

The HETAS appliance approval only covers the use of the following fuels in this

appliance, – Manufactured and natural smokeless fuels, and wood logs not

exceeding 35cms in length. Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either

alone or mixed with the suitable fuels listed above, nor does it cover instructions

for the use of other fuels. Although approval covers the use of the smokeless fuels

listed, the claimed rated output, has been obtained burning a single representative

However, in the home, a variety of operating conditions can occur and the

performance of the appliance may vary to some degree with these conditions and

different fuels may need to be burnt at different rates to provide the same heat

output.

The recommended fuels are Wood logs no longer than 35cms. The logs must be

dry and seasoned for a minimum period, to ensure that they contains less than

20% moisture. The other recommended fuels are solid mineral fuels (e.g. Natural

smokeless fuels such as anthracite or manufactured smokeless fuels such as

Homefire or Phurnacite.) The larger briquettes are recommended as they

concentrate less heat in one spot, reducing the likelihood of damage to the grate.

Housecoal must NEVER be used as this fuel is not suitable for a ‘closed

appliance’. The Canterbury M/F stove is classed as a closed appliance. Ask your

local fuel merchant for more details on these fuels.

Only authorised smokeless fuels may be used in smoke control areas. Under NO

circumstances burn ‘petroleum coke’ as it will cause premature failure of the

internal components of the appliance.

Only burn dry, seasoned wood. This will give a good heat yield and help to keep

the glass clean. A growing tree contains 50-95% water. Burning unseasoned wood

turns most of the energy released into water vapour which goes into the flue and

little heat is given off to the room. The moisture will combine with other

combustion products forming a sticky surface and the risk of obstruction, or worse

still a chimney fire, is greater. Wood logs are best stored in a stack, sheltered from

the weather, in a well ventilated area and raised off the ground. This allows the air

to circulate and prevents mildew.

Starting and Maintaining the Fire

Do not use gasoline, lighter fluid, Kerosene or other flammable liquids to start or

rekindle the fire for obvious safety reasons.

Build a fire directly on the grate with crumpled newspaper, kindling wood and/or

commercially available “firelighters”. Do not allow single pieces of paper to

float up the chimney especially alight. This is a common cause of a chimney fire

and can cause structural damage to the property. Ensure all air controls (primary

and secondary) are fully open to begin with as shown in the pictures above. When

the kindling is burning well, add larger pieces of wood or solid fuel to gradually

increase the size

of the fire. The stove will work more efficiently with the main door closed as you

will be able to control the combustion air and the rate of fuel burning. It is not

recommended to operate the stove with the fuel loading door open other than to

load fuel. When alight the loading door handle and the ash pan handle will

become very hot. Please use the glove provided to avoid touching hot parts.

There are IMPORTANT differences in the method of operation for burning solid

fuel or wood in your stove. Please read both sections even if only one fuel type is

relevant to you.

BURNING SOLID FUEL

Solid fuel needs a flow of air for combustion though the bottom of the grate.

Wood does not require this and will readily burn on a bed of ash with a flow of air

over the top. When burning solid fuel make sure that the grate is in the open

position (side rod pushed in). When there is no fuel in the grate you will see

through the fanned holes into the ashbox. Also position the left and right grate

hoppers in the stove so that the fuel feeds into the centre of the stove. This will

ensure an even burn. The stove will function without these hoppers in place but

you may find the fire is uneven. Use the single end of the poker provided to push

the ash and debris through the grate before refuelling. This will allow the passage

of air and prevent the grate from clogging. Make sure there is sufficient hot fuel

left to allow the fire to pick up once refuelling has occurred. This will look like a

level, shallow bed of hot embers with no spaces. After prolonged use you will

have a better idea of the refuelling interval and procedure. Control the rate of burn

by opening and closing the primary air. The fuel will burn fastest with the primary

air fully open. To get the fire going open the air controls. Once it is established,

close the secondary air and use the primary air for controlling the rate of burn.

Once the fire is running, you may find that opening the secondary air a little, will

help to keep the glass clean. This is good practice but remember to control the fire

using the primary air.

BURNING WOOD LOGS

If you are only burning wood logs, you may allow a bed of ash to build up on top

of the grate to a level of about 20mm forming a flat surface on which the wood

may burn. Make sure that the grate is in the closed position (side rod pulled out)

You will then use the “air-wash” vent slide to provide the combustible air and

control the burn rate of the fire. For fully open, slide the handle to the right. You

will see the cover move back revealing the opening under it. Using the amount of

cover revealed as a guide you will be able to control the rate of burn – fully open

being the fastest burn producing most heat. To establish the fire it is acceptable to

open the primary air as well. Once the fire is bright close the primary air control

and use the secondary air to control the rate of burn for the fire. It is not necessary

to have the grate hoppers in position for wood burning. You will not have to clean

out your stove after every firing as wood will burn better with a slight build up of

ash in the ashpan. It is not advisable to burn painted or recovered wood (such as

railway sleepers) as this contains harmful toxins or flammables which may cause

the wood to ‘spit’.

If you are burning solid fuel or a mixture with wood DO NOT allow a bed of ash

to build up above the level of the sides of the ash can. Solid fuel needs

combustible air to flow through it from underneath. When burning solid fuel, this

air is needed to keep the grate from overheating. Failure to allow a sufficient flow

of air through the grate will result in the grate burning out in a very short period of

time. This will not be covered by any warranty claim. You will get some spillage

of ash to the back and sides of the ashcan itself and you must ensure that this is

cleaned out regularly and from behind the internal baffle plate. If you do not do

this, you may buckle the baffle plate or in the extreme, burn it out.

WARNING NOTE

Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance 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, the following immediate

actions should be taken:-

a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.

b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.

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 identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.

Use of fireguard

When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are

present a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The

fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 6539.

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.

Chimney Fires

If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur.

However, if a chimney fire does occur turn the air control setting to the minimum,

and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go

out in which case the control should be kept at the minimum setting until the fire

in the stove has gone out. The chimney and flueways should then be cleaned. If

the chimney fire does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire

brigade should be called immediately.

After a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully examined for any damage.

Expert advice should be sought if necessary

Cleaning the Stove and Summer Shutdown

Only clean the stove when cold. To clean the glass, either use an oven cleaning

fluid or dip a wet cloth in the wood ash (not coal ash – this will scratch the glass)

and gently rub clean.

The outside can be cleaned with a soft brush. Use a lint free cloth if necessary but

test an area first. Do not use abrasive cleaners as this will remove the paint and

may leave a chalky deposit. Under no circumstances use a yellow duster as the

fibres will stick to the rough surface of the stove and will produce a pungent odour

next time the stove is used!

If the stove has a period of non-use leave the primary and secondary air controls in

the open position to allow ventilation through the stove. The side and rear baffles

can be easily removed and are not fixed. Lift the side baffle clear of the grate with

both hands and then tilt the bottom of the plate into the stove. At the same time

lower it to the grate floor. Repeat with the other side. The rear plate will lift out.

The throat plate baffles are held in a cradle and will slide out for inspection and

cleaning. Remove them to sweep the chimney. Replace all removed parts before

using the stove.

Trouble-Shooting

1. Smoke comes out of the stove when the loading door is opened.

•The chimney cavity into which the 125mm flue pipe has been installed

may be less than the minimum requirement.

•Deposits (soot) may have built up in the chimney and be restricting the

flow of waste products. This flow rate is known as the ‘draw’.

2. The Stove does not produce the expected heat into the room.

•Has the flue pipe been sealed to the chimney to prevent heat being

drawn up the chimney to waste?

•Green or wet wood is being burnt.

•The chimney has excessive draw (this is unusual). Seek installer

advice with regard to installing a Flue Draught Stabiliser.

•The stove has been recessed into the existing fireplace and a lot of heat

is absorbed be the surrounding fireplace walls rather than being

radiated into the room. Pull the stove forward.

•For the maximum efficiency of heat transference into the room the

stove should be sited on the hearth of the fireplace rather than recessed.

3. The Stove burns too fast.

•Use whole logs rather than split ones.

•The wood being used may be generally too small.

•The “air-tight” seal between the fibre rope on the doors and the casting

may have been lost, adjust door handle lock nuts to reinstate this seal.

•The chimney has excessive draw (seek installers advice on this point).

•The fibre rope seal between the door and the glass may be leaking. Tighten

or replace.

•The glass is not sealed, gently tighten glass retaining clips. Do not over

tighten as this will stress or break the glass.

•The fibre rope on doors and glass has worn out. Replace.
