SERRANO MULTIFUEL STOVES

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

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

multifuel stove. Please take time to read this manual and follow the guidelines on how

to install and operate your new stove as this will enable you to use it to its best

advantage for many years.

The term multifuel means 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 exist at the expense of

efficiency, sending more than 80% of the heat produced straight up into the chimney.

The efficiency figures for our multifuel 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

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION

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 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 and the appliance has not been

approved for use in an Smoke Control Area

The nominal heat outputs for the stove are as follows:

Serrano 3 Serrano 5 Serrano 7

Heat Output 3 kW 5 kW 7 kW Smokeless fuels

3 kW 5 kW 7 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 for fuel to fall out on opening the door, 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 again after you have used the appliance for a month.

As a closed appliance operates at a higher flue temperature, it is possible for deposits

that had 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 and 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 J.

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.

The liner diameter must not be less than 6”. If the draw on the chimney is excessive, a

flue draught stabiliser will help to slow this down. 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 fluepipe.

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 cement and/ or glass fibre

rope 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. 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 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

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 further 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.

Assembly

The stove has four legs that are attached by bolts. These must be fitted. The main

loading door and ash door are secured by hinge pins and will lift off. Inside there are

two side fire bricks and one rear fire brick. The rear firebrick is rectangular, the smooth

surface sits towards the fire. A separate top baffle plate is supported by the left, right

and rear firebricks. There is also the fire grate that sits on the base of the stove. If these

parts are removed re-install these parts in use the instructions below to refit the

firebricks:

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 that the customer is

aware of 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 extractor fan in the same room

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

OPERATION OF STOVE

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE STOVE

Controls Layout (Similar function on all models)

PRIMARY AIR INTAKE

The primary air intake is in the form of a slider and is situated on the main door

assembly. Having the slider pushed to the left (As shown in the diagram above)

indicates the intake is closed. When the slider is moved fully to the right the intake is

completely open. This particular air intake is adjustable throughout the area left to

right to control the total amount of air required for suitable combustion

The primary air intake is used on initial firing of the stove or when burning coal etc.

Please see the BURNING SOLID FUEL section on page 13 for a more in depth

description.

SECONDARY AIR INTAKE

The secondary air intake is in the form of a lever and is situated under the ash lip at

the front of the stove. Having the lever to the left indicates the air intake is closed.

Having the lever fully to the right indicates the air intake is open. This particular air

intake is adjustable through 180˚so the lever can control the total amount of air

required for suitable combustion

The secondary air intake works by opening 2 flaps located at the back of the stove.

The flaps are attached to a rod which is controlled by a small cam.

These flaps allow air to flow up tubes along the back and then across the top of the

inside of the stove. This air then becomes warm and is pushed down the back of the

glass creating the AIRWASH system – see page 11. The airwash system allows the

glass to remain soot and particle free. This particular design also allows the air to be

released on top of the grate which is ideal when burning wood products. Please see

the paragraph BURNING WOOD LOGS on page 14.

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. Ash pan removal is best

done when either the contents of the ash pan have cooled or the fire 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 in case of 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.

Air-wash System

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

through the air control under the ash lip 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 lever situated in the centre below the ash lip 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. Moving the lever 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 solid fuel. 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.

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 stove’s 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

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.

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 Ltd 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

smokeless fuel, under standard test conditions. 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 (dry, seasoned for a

minimum of one year) and solid mineral fuels (e.g. Natural smokeless fuels) The

larger briquettes are recommended as they concentrate less heat in one spot

reducing the likelihood of damage to the grate. 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 burn out the internal

grate and baffle plates in a very short period of time and may damage the stove

beyond repair.

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.

Do not operate the stove with the fuel loading door open other than to load fuel, as

you run the risk of over-firing the stove, thus voiding the warranty. 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. 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. You will then use the “air-wash” front lever to provide the combustible air and

control the burn rate of the fire. To fully open, turn the lever to the right. By turning

the lever gradually 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. When refuelling, it is important to open the primary air slider

fully to ensure that the new logs ignite and blacken quickly (this should take only 2

to 3 minutes) Once the fire is bright, close the primary air control and use the

secondary air to control the rate of burn for the fire. 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’. The fire is designed to burn efficiently and cleanly with 2 medium sized logs

placed evenly on the grate – do not overload the fire. It is always important to

maintain a hot bed of embers before each reload of fuel.

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.

USING THE APPROVED APPLIANCE IN A SMOKE CONTROLLED

AREA

Ignition sequence – burning wood

For the appliance to burn cleanly, it is important to establish a hot fire as quickly

as possible. The following sequence should be followed at the ignition stage:

-Both primary and secondary air intakes should be fully open

-Light a double handful of dry kindling

-Push door to, but do not latch

-When kindling is established (takes around 5 to 10 minutes), add 2 or 3

small logs

-When the fire is established and the smaller logs have blackened, latch

the door

For this sequence, it is advisable that the user be in attendance throughout.

Once the smaller logs have burnt down, a full load can be added.

When the larger logs are blackened, the primary air can be fully closed and the

secondary air adjusted to the desired setting.

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 ignored. 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.

Chimney Cleaning

The chimney should be swept at least once a year when burning only solid smokeless

fuels and twice a year when burning wood. It is important that the flue connection and

chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.

In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will

have provided alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney

the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be

cleaned with a flue brush.

Where the chimney is believed to have a served an open fire installation it is possible

that the higher flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits

that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It

is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept within a month of regular use

after installation. The baffle plate should be checked and cleaned if necessary at least

once a month during the heating season.

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.
