YORK MULTIFUEL STOVES
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
Thank You
May we take this opportunity to thank you for choosing a York, 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
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. 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 legal requirement under England and Wales Building
Regulations that the installation of the stove is either carried out under Local
Authority Building Control approval or is installed 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:
York Petite York Midi York Grande
Heat Output 4.4 kW 6.25kW 8.1kW Smokeless fuels
3.5 kW 5.8kW 8.1kW 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 J.

York M/F 5
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 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. 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
