PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING,

OPERATING OR SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.

Congratulations on buying a product distributed by Broseley Fires Ltd.

INTRODUCTION

Please read the following instructions carefully to get the best from your new purchase.

The keys to safe, successful and efficient wood burning are good planning, correct installation (by a qualified

heating engineer) and proper operation.

Modern homes have better levels of insulation and are more energy efficient, with more effective and better seals

on doors and windows. This makes our homes easier to heat, but also means that solid fuel appliances must be

more carefully designed so that they will function correctly in the energy efficient, modern homes of today. The more

energy efficient a house is, the less fuel is required to heat it. Less fuel use means less impact on the environment.

The operation of our appliances, so that they do not produce excessive smoke (beyond the initial light up and

reloading periods) is most important. When our appliances are not smoking, it is an indication that they are being

operated correctly and are burning efficiently. The escape of any unburnt particles and some gases into the

atmosphere are the cause of air pollution.

Our appliances are designed to ensure that the combustion of all gases and particles takes place within the firebox,

to maximise the heat output of the appliance and to minimize the discharge of particulate emissions to the

atmosphere.

It is important therefore, for appliances to be operated in accordance with our instructions in a manner that

maintains a high temperature in the firebox with an adequate supply of air to ensure efficient combustion. A good

indication of efficient combustion is a bright lively flame in the firebox. A dull flame or smoldering fire indicates poor

or incomplete combustion.

To maintain adequate heat in the firebox, it is very important to use dry, well seasoned wood with less than 20%

moisture content. The wood must be correctly sized for the particular appliance and it also helps to have at least

three or four pieces burning at the one time to assist the combustion process.

Adding single pieces of unseasoned or wet wood to a fire will reduce the firebox temperature and prevent adequate

combustion. This will result in increased smoke emissions causing the flue and internal components of the

appliance to become blocked with tar and creosote more quickly. The tar and creosote deposits in the chimney will

fuel a chimney fire.

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

installation of the stove is carried out under 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.

A “Declaration of Completion” Certificate must be obtained for the installation and retained by the end user. Failure

to comply with these requirements may void the warranty.

2 MANUFACTURERS DECLARATION

Subject: Asbestos and cadmium

It is declared that all our products are assembled with materials that do not contain any asbestos or its derivatives

and that the materials used for welding do not contain cadmium in any form.

Subject: Regulation CE no. 1935/2004

It is declared that in all our products the materials that are destined to come into contact with foodstuffs are adapted

to food use in line with the above regulation.

3. HEATABLE AREA (VOLUME)

The heating capacity of rooms according to EN13240: 2001 + A2: 2004 / 15a B-VG for buildings in which the

insulation is below the levels recommended in regulations is:

(30 kcal/m3) - Well insulated: 86 m3

(40 kcal/m3) - Average insulation: 40 m3

(50 kcal/m3) - Poor insulation: 112 m3

With adequate insulation the above values will be higher. With temporary use, when breaks exceed eight hours, the

heating capacity is reduced by around 25%.

4. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

To minimize the impact on the environment, the following issues need to be considered when proposing to install

and operate the appliance:

•Local authorities (Councils) must be consulted for any restrictions that may apply to the use of solid fuel

appliances in certain areas such as smoke free zones.

•The appliance must be correctly sized to suit the space, necessary clearances must be strictly adhered to.

•The appliance and flue system must be correctly installed to the current regulations in force at the time.

•The appliance must be correctly operated, using the correct fuel.

•The appliance and flue system must be properly maintained.

•It is also important to ensure that the dwelling to be heated is well insulated and is as energy efficient as is

practical before a heating appliance is chosen and installed.

•The correct fuel must be used. Maximum 20% moisture content.

5. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

These appliances have been developed to burn wood at a very efficient rate. The figures quoted here are from test

firings using beech logs with a moisture content of less than 20%.

The appliance is engineered using the latest manufacturing techniques and modern computerized machinery.

It has the option of Italian ceramic tiles or genuine soapstone finish. Soapstone is a soft-textured stone that

possesses fantastic heat-retaining properties. The absorbent stone holds heat extremely well. Even after the fire

has gone out, warmth radiates from all stone surfaces, ensuring an even, long-lasting heat supply.

6 THE ‘AIR’ CONTROLS

The stove is fitted with two manual air controls that adjust the flow of air into the unit. It is very important that these

controls are fully understood in order to achieve the best results from your stove.

When operating the controls, ensure that they are used in small increments and not changed by large amounts

suddenly. Do not use them like an on – off switch.

It is important that the controls are used correctly in order to get the best results from the appliance and to prevent

over-firing.

The air controls are as follows:

•PRIMARY AIR CONTROL

•SECONDARY AIR CONTROL (AIR WASH)

There is also a control that is the riddling grate. Please see CHAPTER 7 below for an explanation.

6 A THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL see FIG.1 A

The primary control (see FIG. 1A) is found on the bottom of

the stove door towards the right and is in the form of a pull-

push slider. (see FIG. 1A) This control will be used when

initially lighting the appliance (in order to get the chimney/flue

hot)..

With the lever pulled fully out, the control is open and with it

pushed in it is closed.

6 B SECONDARY AIR CONTROL see FIG 1 B

Above the main door is the secondary air control.

(see FIG 1 B) It is also in the form of a slider but moves from

left to right. Combustion air entering the stove through this

vent will be directed down the inside of the glass panel in the

main door this is known as the ‘air wash system’.

It helps to keep sooty deposits from sticking to the glass and

obscuring the view of the flames. Having clean glass also improves the heat radiation through it.

This control will be used to control the combustion rate once a fire is established..

Sliding the lever (B) to the right increases the combustion air entering the fire box.

To slow the air entering the appliance, slide the lever to the left.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Never leave the air controls in the fully open position beyond the initial lighting phase as this can leaf to over-firing.

Over-firing is the generation of excessive heat levels within the combustion chamber, this will lead to warping and

buckling of the internal components. Damage caused through over-firing is not covered by the products warranty.

Over-firing can also occur if the appliance is run with either of the doors open.

7. THE ‘RIDDLING GRATE’ (SEE FIG. 2)

Use the riddling mechanism to shake the dead ash from the top of the grate into the ash pan below. It is in the form

of a pull-push lever and is located under the main door, to the left of the primary air control.

NEVER allow excessive ash to build up on the grate as this will be detrimental to the heat output of the appliance

and will cause accelerated wear of the grate. The efficiency of the appliance will also be affected.

RIDDLER CONTROL

Do not allow the ash pan to overfill. We recommend that you riddle the grate before re-fuelling, but the frequency

will also depend on the quality of the fuel used. Take care when operating the riddler, as the control may be hot.

8 USING YOUR STOVE – IMPORTANT NOTES

This appliance must be installed and commissioned by a fully qualified, registered engineer.

•Serious damage can result if the appliance is left running with the air controls fully open for extended periods.

•Make sure that none of the doors are left open while the appliance is in operation.

•Never leave the appliance unattended during the initial lighting sequence.

•Do not attempt to open the door immediately after igniting the fire. This could cause a flame flash out.

•Always wear the protective gloves when operating the appliance controls.

•Never burn enhanced fuels such as ‘Petrocoke’

•Do not overload the appliance with fuel.

•Never use flammable chemicals or fluids, such as gasoline, to light a fire.

•Using the appliance on a very low output will cause excessive amounts of tar to build up inside the flue and can

be a serious fire risk, as this will fuel a chimney fire.

•If you regularly run the appliance at a very low output, you will need to have the flue cleaned more regularly.

•Never overload the stove (consult the technical table- maximum allowable quantities)

•We advise that you have the appliance serviced annually by a competent heating engineer before the beginning

of a new heating season.

•Do not cover the permanent air vent that your heating engineer has installed; this is necessary for the correct

combustion of the appliance and your safety.

IMPORTANT: The calorific (heat) output of your appliance is affected by the operation of your chimney.

If it has a very strong draw, then you will need to adjust the air controls to allow less air for combustion through the

appliance. The slow draw on a chimney will not give ideal results and will require a more exact adjustment of the

controls for correct combustion. If the flue draft is greater than the figure recommended by the manufacturer, it will

be necessary to fit a flue draft stabilizer.

Make sure that children, the elderly and infirm are aware of these dangers and keep them away from the

stove while it is in use. The surfaces of the appliance gets hot when the fire is lit.

9 FUEL OPTIONS

These appliances have been developed to burn wood as the primary fuel. The results quoted in our literature are

from test firings using beech logs with a moisture content of less than 20%.

You will need to use good quality fuel in order to get the best results from your stove. Seek advice from your local

fuel merchant.

ASH PAN

FIG. 2

9 A BURNING WOOD

Hardwoods and softwoods both have the same calorific value (by nett weight), however softwoods will burn nearly

twice as fast as hardwoods..Most firewood you purchase will need to be stored in a well ventilated shelter to season

as it will contain a large amount of water. Depending on the moisture content, wood should be stored for 1 to 3

years before it is ready to burn. Wood used in this appliance must have a moisture content of less than 20%. Damp

or wet wood will quickly form tar deposits on all the internal areas where the combustible gasses travel, preventing

the efficient release of heat from the appliance. The inside of the chimney/flue will also be coated, there is a greater

risk of a chimney fire occurring.

When selecting wood, also take into consideration ease of splitting, ease of ignition and burning, how much smoke

it produces and its "coaling" qualities. "Coaling" refers to the ability of a species of wood to form a long- lasting bed

of hot coals when burned. Coaling qualities improve with wood of a higher density. Wood is not a long burning fuel

and so it is not always possible to keep the stove in overnight.

SEE BELOW (maintaining a wood fire)

10 INITIAL BURNING AND CURING OF THE APPLIANCE

The first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an odour given off. This is the components of the appliance

curing. It will be necessary to ventilate the room in which the appliance is sited.

The first firing needs to be done carefully to allow all of the components of the appliance to settle gradually. Never

try to run the appliance flat out the first time you light it. It will be necessary to keep the fire burning for longer

periods rather than short periods the first four to five times. This will be the best way to achieve correct settling of

the appliance. Do not burn the appliance at an accelerated rate, a steady burn is all that is required.

Gradually build up the output of the fire so that no sudden stresses are put on the components of the appliance.

During the first lightings, nothing should be leant against the stove and in particular on the varnished

surfaces. The varnished surfaces must not be touched during the initial curing process.

12 LIGHTING AND MAINTAINING A LOG FIRE

•Use scrunched up paper and dry kindling to start the fire. An alternative is to use fire lighters.

•Open the primary and secondary air controls to the fully open position. It will take a short time for the fire to

establish itself.

•When the fire is burning hot, add small pieces of very dry wood, preferably hardwood as these generate

better embers.

•Keep all the draft controls fully open till a bed of hot, glowing embers is established.

•Once you have some red hot burning embers, open the door and rake the embers evenly over the grate

before adding larger pieces of wood.

•We suggest that you do not fully load the appliance until you have become completely familiar with the

operation of ALL the controls.

•For best results, open the secondary air control and close the primary air control. The output of the

appliance can now be controlled using the secondary air control. .

•Do not open the loading door too quickly when reloading the appliance, as this can cause fumes to flash out

the door.

•A typical load will be 2 KG; this will maintain the output of this appliance

•Do not burn painted or varnished woods, MDF, oak bark or any wood with more than 20% humidity.

•It is not necessary to riddle the ash using the ‘riddling grate’ as wood burns best on a flat surface.

13 ASH REMOVAL – CLEANING OUT THE ASH

The removal of the ashes should be done when the appliance is cold.

Ashes must be removed periodically for the correct and efficient operation of your appliance. Don’t wait till the ash

pan's completely full. The frequency of this ash removal will depend on the type of fuel being burned, as. Softwoods

and hardwoods create differing amounts of ash. Keep in mind that cleaning your appliance boosts its efficiency, as

ash, soot or tar deposits will block the heat from coming out of the appliance. Excess ash in the pan will reduce the

efficiency of the appliance and will accelerate the wear on the grate and other internal components.. It may also

prevent the ash door from being shut correctly.

Take care when removing the ash, as small bits of hot embers can stay dormant for long periods when buried in

ashes. These will then flare up again when exposed to oxygen. Use a metal container to carry any ash.

For your own protection, a pair of heat proof gloves and a dust mask may be necessary.

14 WOOD ASH DISPOSAL

The best thing to do with your ashes is to put them in your garden. Wood ashes are high in potassium, calcium,

sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Wood ash will make your soil more alkaline, so apply it appropriately for your soil.

If you have no garden, you can dispose of completely cold ash with your household trash.

Place it in a tightly closed bag to keep it contained.

15 OPERATING IN TRANSITION PERIODS (Summer)

When the outside temperature gets to be more than the temperature within the property, there is a strong possibility

of the flue working in reverse. If the appliance is not lit, this will cause the draught of the flue to travel in a downward

direction and the smell of smoke will be obvious in the room.

If you experience problems lighting the appliance because of the greater outside temperature, then it will be

necessary to warm the flue before loading the appliance with kindling. There are various methods for this

procedure. Ask your local supplier or registered chimney sweep for advice.

If the fire is lit, the heat output of the appliance is often reduced and the exhaust gases may not come out the

chimney completely. This can cause them to come back into the room. In this case:

•shake the embers more frequently,

•increase the air for combustion and

•only load a reduced quantity of fuel.

This will help to keep the chimney hot and working efficiently.

Check that all the seals of the appliance are in good order and that the connections to the chimney are also sound.

16 USE OF THE OVEN (WHERE PRESENT)

By adjusting the two air controls, according to the type of fuel being used, the rate of burn and thus the temperature

of the oven can be regulated. The oven door is operated in the same way as the main door. There is an integral

thermometer on the glass viewing window of the oven. Inside the oven there is a rack that can be positioned at

different levels. Position this depending on what you are cooking. The lower the rack, the lower the heat.

17 MAINTENANCE - CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

Take great care choosing the products you clean your appliance with. A major amount of cleaning can be carried

out using hot soapy water and a soft cloth. Using the wrong products will cause damage to the surfaces.

Never use bleach or chlorine based products, caustic cleaners, paint solvents, biological powders or coarse

abrasives.

Never mix different products as they may cause a chemical reaction with each other and cause harm to either you

or the appliance. Read below to see specific cleaning techniques.

For the more stubborn stains, a mildly abrasive cleaner should be used, such as ‘Astonish’.

This is safe to use on enamel surfaces. Do not use Astonish on the chrome components.

For any further information, please contact your Dealer!

17 A DAILY CARE

To keep the surfaces of your appliance bright and clean, a daily wipe over with a lint free cloth is all that is needed.

A wet cloth may be used on certain surfaces.

To buff the cleaned surfaces, a soft, dry, lint free cloth should be used.

In order to keep your appliance in tip top condition, it is necessary to wipe up any spills or condensation streaks as

soon as is safe to do so. (i.e. when the unit is cold) This will prevent the mark burning onto the appliance and

becoming a much tougher stain to remove at a later date, or causing a permanent mark. Try not to use excessive

amounts of water when cleaning the appliance.

17 B CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

Please follow any instructions to the letter for any special cleaning agent that you may use. Ash removal and

chimney maintenance are also important areas to be aware of to ensure the efficient and correct operation of your

appliance. Please read on….

17 C CAST IRON

This can be cleaned with a lint free damp cloth. Do not leave this surface wet as it will go rusty. If it is cleaned when

the appliance is slightly warm, the damp surface will dry by itself. Otherwise, wipe the surface dry after cleaning.

Another method is to brush the surface with a soft brush. This is good for cleaning in the more detailed and difficult

to get to areas. If cast iron is left for long periods in a damp atmosphere; such as a fireplace; it may start to show

signs of rust. To prevent this, wipe the surface over with light oil. This will burn off when the fire is re-lit.

17 D MAJOLICA TILES

The side panels of the stove are Italian Majolica tiles that are completely hand-made. The majolica tiles may show

micro crackles, speckles, and shadings. These characteristics certify their precious origin. For the cleaning of the

majolica tiles, we suggest you use a soft, dry cloth; do not use detergent or liquid, the latter might soak in and make

the crackles more visible.

17 E ENAMELED SURFACE

These can also be cleaned with lint free damp cloth and then wiped over with a dry cloth.

17 F GLASS CLEANING

Only clean the glass when the appliance is cold. There are various glass cleaners you can buy at stove shops that

are specially designed to remove hydrocarbon (soot) and fly ash (mineral) deposits from the glass. Follow the

manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively use a proprietary ceramic hob cleaner such as Hob-brite, as used for

ceramic hobs. Follow the directions on the product.

17 G SOAPSTONE

Allow the soapstone to cool to room temperature on its own before cleaning. Rinsing with a sponge and hot water is

usually sufficient to clean soapstone.

17 H BROKEN GLASS

The glass in the fire door is ceramic and is resistant to sudden temperature changes up to 750 degrees Centigrade.

Breakage can only be caused by mechanical shock (collision, violent damage etc) because of this, replacement is

not covered by the guarantee.

17 I ASH REMOVAL

The efficient operation of your appliance is dependant on its correct installation, operation and maintenance.

Leaving soot to accumulate inside your appliance will drastically reduce the output of the appliance and prevent it

from doing what it is designed to. Ensure that the ash inside every part of the appliance is removed, not just the ash

pan. Ash will settle on top of the baffle and this is an area that will also need periodic inspection.

17 J FLUE MAINTENANCE

Call a certified chimney sweep (National Association of Chimney Sweeps) or other qualified professional to clean

the flue system. These professionals have the equipment and the experience to do a thorough job. The sweep will

advise you as to the intervals that you should have your flue swept. We would recommend that you have it swept at

least twice a year, but you may need to sweep it more.

Get them to inspect the condition of all the associated chimney items and report to you on their condition.

Be sure to check the pipe at least once every six months to determine if it has corroded.

17 K ROPE SEALS

For the appliance to operate correctly, it is important that all the seals; where fitted; are in good condition and are

sealing correctly. They should be replaced if they are showing excessive signs of fraying and are not making a good

seal. They are glued into position using a high temperature, flexible, silicone sealant

17 L AIR CONTROLS

Ensure that all the air controls operate smoothly and are free from ash or other foreign bodies. Pay particular

attention to the damper flap at the rear of the ash drawer. Clean this area with care and ensure that excessive

amounts of ash are kept from building up and affecting the operation of this control.

18 SPARES

THE APPARATUS MUST NOT BE MODIFIED. ONLY SPARE PARTS EXPRESSLY AUTHORISED AND SOLD BY

BROSELEY FIRES LTD.

CONSULT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORISED DEALER FOR ADVICE.

At the end of these instructions there are technical drawings of the products and an exploded view of the tiles.

19. INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED AND COMMISSIONED BY A FULLY QUALIFIED, REGISTERED

ENGINEER.

The guarantee is void if any part of the installation is found to be illegal.

•This appliance must be installed into a ‘Class 1 Chimney’. If there is no existing chimney, then an approved solid

fuel, factory built, prefabricated block type or a twin walled, stainless steel flue can be used. Get advice from a

qualified chimney engineer. Flue sharing is not allowed.

•The MINIMUM flue diameter of these appliances is shown in chapter 21 below.

•If excessive draw is present, then a suitable ‘flue draught stabilizer’ should be fitted.

•If the chimney suffers from down draught, then a special ‘anti-downdraught’ cowl will need to be fitted. In exposed

windy locations, a ‘stabilizing’ cowl may need to be fitted. The minimum cowl requirement that we recommend, is

a rain cowl with a bird guard.

•To perform satisfactorily, the chimney height must not be less than 5 meters from stove to cowl. If there are any

bends in the flue, this minimum length will need to be increased by 1 meter for each bend.

•The initial connection to the appliance will need to be 600mm vertical, before any bend.

•A maximum of four 45 degree bends is allowed in any complete flue; from stove to cowl.

•Adequate access for sweeping the flue, such as a soot door, must be provided.

•Flue pipe should be fitted inside the flue pipe collar (spigot) to prevent creosote and condensates from running

down onto the top of the appliance. (see specifications in chapter 17 for exact collar sizes)

•All flue pipe must be suitable for solid fuel (complies with latest European regs.) and fitted in accordance with

building regulations, whilst complying with current legislation and manufacturers’ instructions.

•If a rear flue is able to be fitted, the horizontal length must be no longer than 150mm.

•Mechanical ventilation in the same room as any solid fuel appliance must be avoided.

20 FLUE REQUIREMENTS

This appliance has a European sized flue collar that is metric in size. An adaptor is required for the initial connection

to the flue collar. The adaptor for this appliance will be a 117mm to 5 inch adaptor. This appliance requires a

minimum flue diameter of 5 inches. The draw of the chimney should be at least 13Pa (=1.0-1.2mm of a column of

water). The measurement must always be done when the stove is hot (producing nominal heat values). When the

pressure exceeds 17 Pa (1.7mm of a column of water) it will be necessary to reduce it by the installation a flue

draught stabilizer. (NOT a flue damper)

Installation, construction, and maintenance of chimneys and flues must comply with Building regulations ‘Approved

Document (ADJ)’ Any domestic solid fuel appliance will only work efficiently when connected to a chimney system

capable of generating adequate up-draft to induce sufficient air supply for complete combustion and to overcome

any friction resistance association with the system. The chimney is one of the most important parts of the

installation; great care should be given to its design. The chimney must be thoroughly swept, checked for

soundness and suitability, before any connection is made to the appliance. This must be carried out by a qualified

person. If re-using an existing flue, the flue and the chimney should be checked and if necessary, altered to ensure

that they satisfy the requirements for the proposed use. Lining a defective flue is an option.

21 LINING THE FLUE

An independently certified flexible metal liner can be used to reline a chimney. A chimney liner should be installed in

accordance with Building Regulations Part J, reference should also be made to the manufacturers instructions.

An insulated chimney is the most efficient and safe way to burn wood. Tar deposits condense in a cool chimney. An

insulated chimney helps prevent these deposits. A standard, unlined chimney will gradually get saturated in tar, this

is a fire hazard. Tar stains may appear on the surface of the chimney breast inside the property.

22 FLUE TERMINATION

The height and termination of the flue is an important

part of the installation and consideration needs to be

made to ensure that the flue is high enough to create

sufficient draft to clear the products of combustion.

The termination of the flue outlet position which can

meet the requirements in common circumstances are

shown in Document J. If there are unusual

circumstances that will affect the efficient and safe

removal of the products of combustion; the height

and/or the separation distances shown in Document J

may need to be increased.

23 PROVISION OF A NOTICE PLATE

A notice plate must be durable and be fixed on site, where a hearth, fireplace flue or chimney is provided or

extended (including cases where a flue is provided as part of refurbishment work). Building regulations states that

the responsibility for achieving compliance with the requirements of Part J rests with the person carrying out the

work and so this person must be competent in the work they are being asked to do.

24 SITING THE APPLIANCE

This appliance must not be fitted into a location where it will be impossible to service.

The location must comply with the requirements laid down in the Building Regulations. Manufacturer’s instructions

relating to clearances must be adhered to.

25 HEARTH REQUIREMENTS

It is essential that the hearth / base on which the appliance will stand is strong enough to support the weight of the

appliance and the chimney / flue. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to support the flue pipe with

brackets. The hearth must be level and made of a suitably robust, non combustible material.

The positioning of the appliance and dimensions of the hearth must comply with current building regulations.

Manufacturer’s instructions relating to clearances must be adhered to.

STOVE CLEARANCES TO FLAMMABLE MATERIALS (SEE FIG. 6 A)

•The minimum distance from any flammable object, or one that is sensitive to heat, (furniture, wood, fabrics. etc.)

and from materials with flammable structure, must be 200 mm to the rear and 200 mm both sides.

•In front of the appliance there must no flammable object or building material sensitive to heat within 1000mm.

•Above the appliance, there must not be any flammable items within 630mm.

STOVE CLEARANCES TO NON - FLAMMABLE MATERIALS (SEE FIG. 6 B)

•The minimum distance from any NON FLAMMABLE object, or one that is NOT sensitive to heat, (stone brick slate

etc.) and from materials with non flammable structure, must be 100 mm to the rear and 150 mm on both sides.

•Please refer to BUILDING REGULATIONS if further information is required.

27 ADDITIONAL VENTILATION

There must be sufficient free air for combustion into the room where the maximum output of the appliance is greater

than 5Kw. The natural recirculation of air must be guaranteed by having permanent ventilation to the outside.

THIS IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT.

This appliance has the option of venting directly to outside (SEE Chapter 27 A) via a connection on the rear of the

appliance.

Otherwise, use the traditional method of a permanent opening or vent.

Permanent openings or vents must not be covered. Vents needs to be positioned carefully, they must be protected

from direct wind conditions. A baffle that has been specially designed to fit over the vent will protect it from the

effects of wind, but must not restrict the total vent area and must be secured in a way that prevents its movement.

Regular inspection of any vents is critical to ensure that the vent has not become restricted.

An extractor fan, cooker hood or similar product, installed in the same room, or in a room nearby; that sucks air out

(aspirating); may negatively affect the functions of your appliance.

If the room contains more than one appliance; of the type that requires combustible air; a calculation will need to be

made to re-calculate the permanent air vent requirement.

Please see the ‘Technical Data’ list at the front of these instructions, or refer to current building regulations for fixed

additional ventilation requirements.

FIG. 6 A FIG. 6 B

27 A ADDITIONAL VENTILATION DIRECT FROM OUTSIDE

To avoid any problems with permanent, fixed ventilation into the room, the appliance has the option of combustion

air being introduced directly from outside the building; via the available attachment on the rear of the appliance. This

is clearly shown in the diagram below. FIG. 7

This means that there is no need for additional permanent ventilation for the appliance, as the combustion air for the

product is being drawn directly from outside. In order to do this, it must be linked to the air intake on the rear of the

appliance by means of an optional connector. (SEE FIG. 7 A )

It is possible to draw combustion air into the appliance directly from a nearby room that has the correct permanent

fixed ventilation; that complies with building regulations. It is not permissible to draw combustion air from a room

that has no ventilation or contains an appliance or other type of unit that extracts air.

FIG. 7 below shows the position of the ‘DIRECT COMBUSTION AIR’ INTAKE’.

The ‘direct combustion air intake’ pipe has to be:

•A minimum diameter of 120mm.

•Made of metal

•A maximum length of 4 meters.

•Must have no more than 3 bends over its length.

•

The termination of the pipe must be protected with a suitable

louvered cover. (this must comply with current regulations)

28 CHIMNEY FIRE

If a chimney fire occurs in the flue or the chimney:

1. Immediately shut off the air supply by closing all dampers and air openings on the stove.

2. Ensure the main door and ash door are securely closed.

3. If the fire in the stove or fireplace can be extinguished safely; with a CO2 extinguisher; put it out as quickly

and safely as possible. Do not attempt to put out the fire using water.

4. Close all windows and doors to the room.

5. Call the fire brigade

When the chimney has stopped burning have it checked by a specialist for possible cracks or leaks.

Please review the way you are using the appliance and check that the fuel you are using is suitable. Chimney fires

only occur if the appliance has been wrongly installed, maintained, or operated. Damage caused to an appliance

where a chimney fire has occurred is not covered by any guarantee.

•Please comply with the technical data given in this instruction manual.

•Illegal installations are not covered by any sort of guarantee.
