Installation Instructions
When installing these appliances, all local regulations, including those referring to national and European
Standards need to be complied with.
This manual covers the appliances: Burley Models: 9103, 9104, 9105, 9108 and 9112
The nominal space heating output is:
‘Springdale’ 9103: 3Kw
‘Debdale’ 9104: 4Kw
‘Hollywell’ 9105: 5Kw
‘Brampton’ 9108:8Kw
‘Wakerley’ 9112: 12Kw
Any of the above appliances must be installed by an installer registered with a competency scheme (ie
HETAS/ELECSA England & Wales), conforming to Building Regulations Part J and the installation must be
registered with the local council building control department.
Failure to comply with the above renders all guarantees and liabilities of the manufacturer
null and void.
By carefully following the instructions below we are certain that you will enjoy many years of warmth and
enjoyment from your new Burley Fireball Stove.
The manufacturer will not guarantee or accept liability for any problem that arises unless a local authority
building control certificate has been completed and a valid receipt or proof of purchase is presented from
the approved supplier.
The appliances should not be fitted closer to combustible materials, e.g. wooden fire surround or stud wall,
than is shown in the table on page 6.
When fitted against a wall made of combustible material e.g. a wooden stud wall with plasterboard, unless
a 75mm thick non-combustible material is used as a barrier, extra non-combustible material should be fitted
behind the stove if the distance from the wall is less than shown. When fitted inside a masonry or similar
non-flammable material recess, e.g., fireplace opening, there is no minimum distance; although we would
advise a minimum of 50mm from any surface to allow for convection.
Approvals
All our wood stoves are approved to EN13240:2001 and EN13240 A2:2004.
DEFRA Approval
The 9103, 9104, 9105 and 9108 models have been approved by DEFRA for use in smokeless
areas. They have been designed and tested with a special air plate (see below).
The plate restricts the air at high rate, but allows air into the stove when shut down to reduce the
potential for producing smoke.
Due to its huge heat ouput, the 9112 has not been submitted for DEFRA approval.

Chimneys, Flues, Hearths and Surrounds
Chimneys
The 9103 and 9104 require a minimum chimney flue of 5” (125mm), 9105, 9108 and 9112 models
require a minimum chimney flue of 6” diameter (150mm). All chimneys/flues must be a minimum
length of 4 metres and must comply with Building Regulations J. Never share the flue with another
appliance.
If flue and chimney are not to these specifications there could be insufficient draw to pull oxygen
through the appliance to make it burn properly. Due to the low temperature of the exiting flue
gases we recommend that the flue is lined.
If you live in a valley or are surrounded by tall trees or buildings you might experience
downdraught problems where the wind tries to stop the fumes rising up the chimney. An anti-
downdraught cowl might help, but anti-downdraught cowls reduce the draw.
We recommend you seek the advice of a HETAS (0845 634 5626) or NACE (01526 322 555)
registered supplier and installer before purchasing any stove or heating appliance. It may be wise
to contact your local chimney sweep before the stove is installed.
Flue Pipe
We recommend 1mm stainless steel pipe sprayed matt black. Only use vitreous enamel pipe if it is
stainless steel.
Hearths
The stove must stand on a non-combustible surface. Installation standards dictate that hearths
must be at least 12mm thick, but installers must take into account the weight of the stove on such
thin material.
The hearth should extend a minimum of 225mm in front of the stove. When a stove is freestanding
the hearth should always extend a minimum of 150mm either side of the stove.
Aeration hole must
be left open for
use in smokeless
areas.
Aeration hole can be
closed, if not used in
smokeless areas.

Strength and heat resistance of the hearth.
Stoves are very heavy and most materials used for hearths crack very easily. It is impossible for
Burley to inspect each hearth or comment on every installation, so the onus is on the installer to
ensure the construction of the hearth is suitable for the application. Slate hearths can be
particularly fragile. If in any doubt we recommend sliding a piece of vermiculite or calcium silicate
insulation beneath the stove to protect it from the heat.
As guidance however:
•Do not use boxed and lipped hearths.
•Avoid marble, conglomerate or micro marble hearths.
•Rather than using one large piece of material, use sectional hearths or slabs which will move
independently and allow for expansion due to heat. Should a slab section crack it is then easier
and cheaper to replace.
•Bed hearths down on a level base, not directly on a hard surface which could be uneven.
•If necessary stand the stove on a steel or stone bed to ensure the weight is distributed.
•Do not subject the hearth to sudden impacts by dropping the stove. The stove is heavy and it is
strongly recommended that lifting is undertaken by two people.
•Use the hearth protection squares provided in your Thank You Kit.
Surrounds
Must be capable of withstanding the temperature produced by the stove and comply
with the minimum distances to combustibles.
Air Supply and Room Sealing Kit
All hydrocarbon burning appliances require an oxygen/air supply.
If the stove is to be fitted on an external wall the air supply can be taken straight from the outside
by using the room sealing kit. A 100mm diameter hole needs to be drilled in the correct place
(138mm above the hearth) to take the 86mm external (80mm internal) duct as supplied. This will
allow for easy connection. Any gap can be filled in with cement or mastic.
•A proprietary grille is supplied with the kit.
•A room sealing kit which exits horizontally is available.
The room sealing method of supplying air is always to be preferred as heat loss from the room will
be greatly reduced.
If the stove is not on an outside wall or the room sealing kit cannot be used, an air vent must be
supplied in the room in which the stove is fitted. The sizes of the vents required are:
•3Kw – No vent required
•4Kw - No vent required
•5Kw – For homes built before 2010 – no vent required. For homes built after 2010 - 550mm sq
•8Kw - 1650mm sq (50mm diameter)
•12Kw 4950mm Sq (100mm diameter)

Page 10 of 20
Only permanently open vents can be used and consideration should be given to draught when the
stove is not in use, therefore site this vent carefully.
The vent covers should comply with Building Regulations Part J and should be sited where they
cannot be blocked.
WARNING
The Burley Fireball series of stoves are primarily for burning wood (this includes logs and sawdust
briquettes). In smoke control areas only wood fuels should be used.
Before purchasing a stove we would strongly advise you seek the advice of a HETAS installer to ensure
suitability of the product to your home.
Other fuels, such as coal (any type), smokeless fuels or petroleum coke can only be used if the optional multi-
fuel grate is fitted (available on models 9104 and 9105 only). Under no circumstances should liquid fuels be
added. It is not an incinerator and rubbish, including painted or tanalised wood and MDF, should not be burnt
in this appliance, doing so is potentially dangerous and will invalidate any guarantees immediately.
Stove Assembly
Door Handle Adjustment
There is a CAM and LOBE mechanism which allows the handle to be moved up and down or in
and out. If required, adjust the handle so it lines up and engages correctly with the stud in the side
of the stove. Incorrect alignment will put excessive force on the door hinges or will result in a poor
seal between the door and the stove. The door may require adjustment as the rope seal
compresses. A 5mm Allen key will be required.
To adjust the door, loosen off the
socket screw with the Allen key.
Holding the Allen key, use a spanner
to turn the off centre cam to
position the handle. Hold the
cam in the desired position
whilst tightening the screw
with the Allen key.
