Introduction
May we take this opportunity to thank you for choosing one of our cast iron, multifuel
stoves.
The term multifuel refers to the fact that the appliance is capable of burning either wood
logs or coal (that is suitable for closed appliances). Both of these fuels have very
different air requirements in order for them to burn correctly, therefore the air controls
need to be operated differently depending on the fuel being burned (see section “Stove
Operation”).
See the section “Lighting the Stove” for further details. After reading this document, if
there is anything you are unsure about, please contact your dealer or our Technical
Support Department.
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 and BS EN 15287-1
2007 + A1 2010 as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance
to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved Document J.
Please note that it is a requirement under the Broseley Fires 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.

Hearth Requirements & Clearances
These appliances are ALL suitable for the minimal 12mm hearth's and do not
require a full constructional sub-hearth.
Your stove must be installed on a solid, level non-combustible hearth. 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.
Clearances
The stove requires the following clearances around it to ensure the heat is released into
the room and to allow sufficient combustion air flow. A combustible material clearance is
given to prevent damage to any items that may be affected by heat.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 9
Chimney Requirements
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 new 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.
A flue draught minimum of 12 Pascals to a maximum 18 Pascals is required for
satisfactory appliance performance. A properly built masonry or factory constructed
chimney (with a minimum vertical height of 5 metres) should ensure a consistent
draught (draw). 45° bends can be used in the flue run (maximum of four bends) you will
need to add an extra 1 metre of vertical flue height for each bend.
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 section “Warning Notes”). If you have
any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer/stockist or
engineer. If your flue draft is below the minimum recommendation then it may be
neccesary to increase the vertical chimney height, add additional flue insulation or
possibly add a special cowl to the top of the chimney (e.g. anti down draft cowl to
eliminate wind induced down draft).
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 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.
If a flexible liner is required the liner diameter must not be less than 5” / 125mm.
Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends are
not permitted. . For top flue installations it is possible to sweep through the appliance by
removing the internal baffle however it is recommended that you provide adequate
access (e.g. easily accessible soot door). For rear flue connection we recommend the
use of a tee section, the bottom of the tee should be capped to catch soor and debris.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 10
Combustion Air Requirements
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.
Under UK building regulations any appliance over 5kW MUST have a fixed
permanent air vent (see building regulations approved document J for further
information).
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.
External Air Intake
It is possible to connect a direct air supply to the stove by attaching a 75mm (3 Inch)
diameter flexible pipe to the air intake shown below using a jubilee clip (rear of stove at
the bottom). Please note that the flexible pipe and jubilee clip are NOT provided.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 11
Assembly
The diagram below shows the stove with all internals taken out. To take internals out of
the stove follow the numbered sequence backwards from 6 down to 1.
m 6 down to 1.
To refit the internals follow the numbered sequence from 1 – 6. The firebricks should fit
quite snug however small gaps are acceptable due to cast iron tolerances. Be careful
not to trap or squash fingers at this stage.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 12
Assembly
It is possible to remove the stove from the store ( Serrano log store versions) this may
be necessary for transport purposes. The diagram below shows the locations of the
fixings (4x bolts labelled 1) which hold the stove to the log store.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 13
Assembly
Smoke exempt modification
Your stove will come pre-set for use in a smoke control zone. The threaded bar
indicated on the diagram below (marked 3) prevents the air slider from fully closing, this
allows a small amount of combustion air into the fire chamber to comply with smoke
control regulations.
If the stove is being installed into a property which is not in a smoke control zone, you
can simply screw the threaded rod into the stove (this will allow the slider to fully close
and cut off the air supply)

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 14
Controls Layout
The stove is fitted with two air controls which need to be correctly operated in order to
light and maintain a fire. Both controls are situated below the ash lip of the stove (as
indicated on the diagram below) and are in the form of sliders.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 15
Controls Explained
Primary Air Intake
The primary air intake is the bottom slider situated below the ash lip at the front of the
stove. Having the slider pushed to the left (Shown centrally in the diagram previous)
would indicate 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 COAL for a more in depth description.
Secondary Air Intake
The secondary air intake is the top slider 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 fully
through left to right so the slider can control the total amount of air required for suitable
combustion
The secondary air intake works by opening a flap located at the back of the stove. The
flap slides left to right allowing air into the rear air tunnel.
The flap allows air to flow up the tunnel 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 below. The air wash 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
section BURNING WOOD.
Air wash System
Air wash is a system where secondary air is drawn into the stove (by combustion)
through the air control under the ash lip and is 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. Wet
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 (where fuel is
only just smouldering).
Ash Pan
The ash pan can be removed using the ash tool which is intended to hook the ash pan
out onto the ash lip of the stove where you can then pick it up using the glove provided.
It is recommended this is done when the stove is cold and not alight.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 16
Recommended Fuels
This appliance has obtained approval from HETAS Ltd., for burning –
* HETAS approved coal suitable for a closed appliance.
* Split Wood logs not exceeding 35cms in length and not over 20% moisture content.
Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the suitable
fuels listed above.
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 to under
20% moisture) and solid mineral fuels (e.g. Natural smokeless fuels) Larger coal
briquettes are recommended as they concentrate less heat in one spot reducing the
likelihood of damage to the grate. Ask your local fuel merchant or consult the HETAS
website for more details on these fuels.
Only authorised smokeless fuels may be used in smoke control areas.
Do NOT burn “House coal” or any other coal which are intended for use on open
fires. Suitable coal needs to be designed for use on closed appliances. Open fires send
a large amount of heat up the chimney therefore the fuel needs to burn extremely hot in
order to send heat into the room, closed appliances are highly efficient and send little
heat up the chimney therefore the fuel does not need to burn as hot. Using open fire
coal on a closed appliance will cause excessive wear on the stove and could result in
damage which will not be covered by the products warranty.
Under NO circumstances burn “petroleum coke” or any other chemically enhanced
fuel 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.
Do NOT burn wet wood, This will give a poor heat output and will cause heavy
deposits of soot and tar to accumulate on the glass and throughout the stove and flue.
The coating of soot and tar in the chimney is volatile creating a high risk of chimney
fires. A growing tree contains a high percentage of water, the wood needs to be dried
out (seasoned) before it is suitable for burning (this can take several years). 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.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 17
Lighting the Stove
Curing
On initial firing you will notice a very pungent odour, this is caused through the curing of
the paint, we recommend starting with short burning sessions (with smaller quantities of
fuel) and build up gradually to allow the components of the stove to settle. Opening
doors and windows will allow the paint curing odour to dissipate and to allow ventilation
into the room. Curing times can vary but typically should take around 8-12 hours
(operation at high output) to complete.
Kindling
Stage1
With the Primary (Bottom Slider) and Secondary (Top Slider) air controls in the fully
open position and the door open, start your fire using twists of newspaper (or scrunched
up balls) to form a bed on the grate. Place a generous amount of dry kindling onto the
newspaper, ensure their is sufficient air gaps between the kindling (a criss cross or
pyramid style pattern is ideal to accomplish this).
Kindling ---------------
Newspaper -----------
Stage 2
Ignite the paper underneath using a match or suitable fire-lighter. Allow the paper and
kindling to burn until it reduces down into hot embers. If the fire is dying during this
stage the door can be closed but not latched leaving a small gap for extra combustion
air.
Stage 3
Add another generous load of dry kindling and allow to burn down.
It may be necessary to repeat stage 3 if the chimney is cold or if you find you have
smoke entering the room. This stage is vital for getting heat into the chimney which will
create the draw that takes the smoke away, we would expect this stage to take between
15-20 minutes.
It is critical that you do not leave the stove during the entire lighting and kindling
stage. See Burning wood and Burning Coal sections for the next steps in starting a new
fire.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 18
Burning Wood
Once you have kindled your stove (see previous page) and your chimney (flue) is
sufficiently heated, you are now ready to start adding you logs.
Stage 4
Place 1-3 small logs onto the bed of hot embers using the gloves provided, close the
door and reduce the Primary Air Control to approximately half way. Once the logs turn
black the primary air can be fully closed.
Stage 5
Once the smaller logs have burned down you can now add 2-3 larger ( or full size) logs
and close down the Secondary Air Intake as required. You can now control the burn
rate of the stove using the secondary air intake, you are looking for a controlled flame
(not smouldering in the embers or licking around the lid) this is mostly visual although a
flue pipe thermometer will help you determine correct control and is recommended for
the initial lightings.
Stage 6
Refuel as and when required (take care to open the door gradually as flames may lick
out). Open both air controls whenever refuelling , once the wood logs turn black the
primary control can be closed fully and the fire controlled once again by the secondary
control. If you no longer want to keep the fire going simply allow it burn out.
Burning Coal
With kindling complete you are now ready to add your approved coal.
Stage 4
Using the gloves and provided ash tool, rake the hot embers evenly over the grate and
add a small amount of coal. Close the door and allow the coal to ignite then close the
Secondary Air approximately half way. (The primary air control should be left fully open)
Stage 5
When the small load of coal has burned down add a larger load and allow time for the
coal to fully ignite, leave the Primary Air Intake fully open. You will now control the burn
rate of the stove using the Secondary air intake, you are looking for a controlled flame
(not smouldering in the embers or licking around the lid) this is mostly visual although a
flue pipe thermometer will help you determine correct control and is recommended for
the initial lightings.
Stage 6
Add coal as and when required. Ensure that you use the ash tool when refuelling coal to
poke through any ash and debris so that it falls into the ash pan underneath, this is
critical as coal requires a flow of air from underneath the grate.

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 19
Smoke Exempt Requirements
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the
authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a
building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It
is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it
is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the
smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to
authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In
Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those
countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern
Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas
have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas
(other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the
Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
These appliances have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when
burning wood logs.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:
http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation
and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act
requirements
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers
and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers
in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel (per hour) for these appliances is 9kg you should not exceed this
figure, overloading can cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated
with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions (Lighting the stove
section).
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or dampers fully open can cause excess smoke. The appliance
must not be operated with air controls left fully open except as directed in the instructions

OCT10/GB Issue 4d 20
Lighting Sequence (in smoke controlled areas)
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.
Warning Notes
Over-Firing
It is extremely important that you do NOT leave both of the air controls in the fully open
position for extended periods or run the appliance with the door open. Leaving the air
controls fully open (or running with the doors 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 an excessive flue draft.
PLEASE NOTE ANY DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE CAUSED THROUGH OVER-
FIRING WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
We highly recommenced the use of a flue pipe thermometer so that you can monitor
how much heat you are sending up the chimney, this will both enable efficient operation
of your stove and also give a good indiction if you are over-firing the appliance.
Fumes
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the
dwelling. Occasional fumes may occur whilst de-ashing and re-fuelling. 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 go 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
