Operating Instructions
Lighting the stove
Before lighting the stove for the first time please ensure all firebrick linings and
other internal components are in position and that all packaging has been
removed.
When lighting your stove for the first time it should not be stoked excessively
as all materials must be given time to adapt to the effects of heat. Your stove
has been painted with specialist HT paint and oven cured within our
manufacturing process, however upon initial lighting of the stove further curing
may occur and a slight smell may be evident. We recommend that windows
and doors are left open during this time, as airing the room will allow this to
disappear.
Step 1. Open the air control fully using the tool (Glove)
Step 2. Place rolled up crumpled newspaper at the back of the stove.
Place small tinder/kindling on top of the newspaper and then a few
larger pieces of wood on top of this. Light the newspaper and close the
door NEVER USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
Step 3. Allow the fire to burn until all the pieces of wood are alight and
burning. More and larger pieces of wood can now be added. Never add
so much wood that it is in danger of coming over the fuel bar.
Step 4. Once the fire is established the air control can be reduced to
maintain a steady burn rate. Never run the stove with door open
All parts of the stove become hot when in operation. Use the Glove provided
to operate the air control and the door handle.! !

!Door handle adjustment
The door handle has a sophisticated adjustment system. The door handle
comprises of only 4 parts and can be adjusted very simply by the end user.
The system allows adjustment without the need for spanners or other tools.
The stove is provided with a set screw to perform this function, keep this safe.
The door rope over time will flatten and the door seal will start to let air into the
stove, this will allow unwanted air into the combustion and increase the speed
of the burn and controllability of the stove.
Using the supplied Allen key, insert it into the hole in the side in the side of
door containing the set screw. Turning the anti-clockwise slacken the set screw
until the door handle becomes loose, once loose turn the handle the correct
way as per below drawing below, on completion slowly re-tighten the setscrew
until the handle is set.
Flue test point
Your Norvik stove has a flue test point, the function of the test point has
various functions.
•Correct instillation, aiding the installer to set up the Norvik with the flue
pull matching the manufacturers recommendations
•Measuring the flue pull to check for soot or tar build up in the chimney
Flue test position
Your Norvik stove test point is situated discreetly at the rear right hand side of
the stove. The M8 screw is removed and a flue test meter is placed in the hole
to measure the flue pull. On completion the M8 screw is re-fitted.

Running Temperature
Thermometers are available that attach to the flue pipe directly above the stove
and provide an aid to running the stove at the correct temperature.
150°C-300°C
The flue gases should be in this temperature band for the safest, most efficient
and most economical operation of your stove.
Below 150°C
This will cause the condensation of wood gases and the build-up of tar in the
chimney, dirty the stove glass and result in the inefficient burning of fuel.
Above 300°C
Too hot. Heat will be wasted up the chimney. Excess heat may damage the
stove or ignite and existing accumulation of tar resulting in a chimney fire.
Overheating
Should the stove be allowed to get too hot and is overheating, close the air
control fully using the glove. Keep the fire door closed and allow the fire to burn
down.
Chimney Fire
In the event of a chimney fire dial 999 and ask for the Fire Service. Fully close
the air control and keep the stove door closed. Move any combustibles away
from the stove and chimney. Check any other rooms that the chimney passes
through and move and combustibles away from the chimney. Before using the
stove again after a chimney fire, the chimney should be cleaned and inspected
by a qualified person.
Cleaning the glass
We recommend wiping the glass after a fire to prevent any build-up of
deposits. This is best done using a paper towel or newspaper to avoid
scratching the glass.
Types of fuel
Mineral Fuel: Authorised fuels can be used in smoke control areas. Fuels are
listed at: http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.pph.
Wood: Needs to be well seasoned before it is burnt. There are many types of
wood available for fuel and they take varying amounts of time to season. As a
general guide wood should be cut to length, split and then stacked under cover
with sides open to air for at least 12 months. Wood is ready for burning when
radial cracks appear in the end of the logs and moisture content is no more
than 20%. It is then good practice to store the wood in a log basket inside your

NOR INS REV 5 Nov 2017 !
property for a few days prior to its use. The internal width of the firebox of the
LogFire is 340mm therefore the firewood should be no longer than this Logs
over 100mm diameter should be split before use. DO NOT burn unseasoned
wood in your stove. DO NOT burn particle board, lacquered, painted or treated
wood, plastics, rubber or liquid fuels. Should the stove burn any of these
materials the warranty will be void. The stove should not be used as an
incinerator.
Ashes
The ashes should only be removed when the fire is out and has been left to
cool completely. The log retaining bar can be removed for easier access by
lifting it up. Wood burns well on a thin layer of ash and leaving this when
cleaning also provides protection for the base insulating bricks.
Maintenance & Cleaning
Any maintenance of the stove should only be carried out when the stove is
cold. Daily maintenance should be limited to vacuum cleaning the stove
externally, or brushing down with a soft brush. Never use spirits to clean the
stove, as this will remove the paint. Regularly check the flue exit from the stove
to make sure there is no build-up of deposits that will restrict the exit of the flue
gases. Note: The stove must not be modified in any way. Any changes will
invalidate your warranty. Any replacement parts must be official Norvik stove
parts.
Chimney Sweeping
The chimney should be swept a minimum of once per year. This must be
carried out by a registered competent person. If the stove is used more
regularly the chimney should be swept more often. Your stove should also be
given a visual inspection every time the chimney is swept. These checks
should include the rope seals, door handle, firebricks and baffle. Any build of
soot and ashes within the stove should be removed.
Fire bricks
The fire bricks are manufactured from vermiculite. Vermiculite is a non-
combustible, fire resistant board with excellent thermal insulation properties. As
vermiculite is a porous material it may over time become worn and damaged.
Please handle with care especially when re-fuelling the stove. The Insulation
only needs replacing when it has deteriorated to an extent that the insulation is
no longer protecting the steel body of the stove from the flames. Cracks in the
Vermiculite are normal and will not interfere with the efficient running of the
stove. The Vermiculite insulation is not covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.

NOR INS REV 5 Nov 2017 !
Glass
If the glass is blackened by soot it can be easily cleaned using one of the many
specialist stove glass cleaning products available. Glass is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Surface
The high temperature paint finish should require no further treatment. Any
damage or wear on small areas of the paint finish may be remedied using our
high temperature aerosol paints. Please read the instructions on the aerosol
carefully before applying.
Installation
Building Regulations Installation of your Norvik stove must comply with all local
building regulations, including those referring to national and European
standards. We advise prior to any installation a full site survey is conducted by
an installation engineer recognised within an industry standard such as NACS
or HETAS to check the suitability of your chimney and appliance. Document J
of the building regulations contains further information regarding the installation
of solid fuel appliances and can be viewed at
http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_ADJ_2010.pdf
Ventilation
The appliance may require additional air ventilation if required. Any air inlet
grilles should be positioned so that they are not liable to blockage. An air
extraction device shall not be used in the same room as the appliance unless
adequate additional ventilation is provided. Other heating appliances requiring
air for combustion shall not be used in the same room as the appliance unless
adequate additional ventilation is provided. Stoves need a supply of air for
combustion, and to evacuate the flue gases otherwise they will not work.
Without an air supply the stove will not light and smoke is likely to pour out into
the house. The smoke will not be able to be drawn up the chimney as this
requires air movement up through the chimney which is not possible if there is
no source of air. If your stove smokes or does not burn very keenly, but this
improves when you open a window then this is a sign that you need to install
some ventilation. We recommend you discuss your ventilation requirements
with your local Norvik Stove authorised retailer/installer. Any airbricks or grilles
fitted should be positioned so that they are not liable to blockage. If other
appliances requiring ventilation operate within the vicinity of the stove there
must be adequate ventilation provided for both appliances running
simultaneously. NOTE Extractor fans when operating in the same room or
space as the stove may cause problems.
Load-bearing capacity of the floor
Before installing the stove, you must ensure that the load-bearing capacity of
the floor can withstand the weight of the stove and any flue pipes and
connections. The weight of the stove is 80Kgs.

NOR INS REV 5 Nov 2017 !
Hearth
The stove should be installed on a non-combustible hearth. The hearth should
extend to a distance of 225mm in front of the stove and 150mm to each side
measured from the door of the combustion chamber. Please refer to document
J of the building regulations for further information on hearth requirements.
Please note this stove has a certified maximum hearth temperature of 43°C.
Clearances
The minimum clearance to combustible materials is 750mm to the sides of the
stove, 750mm to the rear of the stove and 450mm to the 5" flue pipe. Adjacent
walls should be of suitable non-combustible construction, preferably brickwork.
A minimum of 50mm clearance should be left at the back and sides of the
stove to allow free air movement and for heat from the stove to enter the room,
and there should be a minimum clearance around the 5" flue pipe of 225mm.
In exceptionable circumstances where only non-combustible walls surround
the stove with a minimum thickness of 200mm the clearance between the rear
and sides of the stove may be reduced to 50mm but this may effect efficiency
levels which are based on the clearance figures shown in figure and reference
should be made to building regulations and any rules in force at the time of
installation
Chimney Requirements
An existing chimney or a new flue or chimney installation should be given a
visual inspection to check that it is in good order, clear of obstructions and is of
suitable size and type for the stove. It may be necessary to sweep the flue –
which should always be done prior to fitting a stove or lining a chimney. We
also recommend a smoke test is carried out to check for gas tightness and
chimney draft. We recommend lining and insulating your chimney. There
should be access to the chimney to allow for sweeping.
Air Damper
It is recommended that chimneys with a strong updraft be fitted with a flue
damper or draught stabiliser to allow the chimney draught to be regulated. No
damper should close the flue way completely, 20% of the total opening of the
chimney or flue pipe must remain open at all times.
Carbon Monoxide Alarm
An approved carbon monoxide alarm must be installed when any Solid Fuel
appliance is installed. Carbon Monoxide alarms need to meet European safety
standards and must be audible. They must be fitted in accordance to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Please Note: an alarm is no substitute for regular
maintenance and chimney sweeping.

NOR INS REV 5 Nov 2017 !
Flue
The minimum flue draught required for nominal heat output is 12 Pascal’s. At
nominal heat output the flue gas temperature will be in the region of 242°C.
The appliance should not be connected to a shared flue. The design of the flue
installation should allow access for sweeping. The stove has a top flue
connection only. Seal the flue connections with fire cement or a high
temperature rope seal. The flue blanking plate should be positioned over
whichever outlet is not being used.
Register plate
This plate is used to seal off the throat of the fireplace and has a hole for the
flue pipe, access for sweeping and if required a bracket to support the flue.
•The 5” (125mm) flue pipe required from the stove to the register plate.
Operational Problems
Blackened Glass
•The wood is too damp. Only use wood that has been stored for at least
12 months under cover and ideally with a moisture content less than
20%
•Insufficient intake of air from the air control. Open the air control further.
•Insufficient ventilation The stove is being run at too low a temperature
Smoke in the room when refuelling
•Poor chimney performance – consult chimney sweep or Installation
engineer
•Check the position of any fitted flue damper to make sure it is in the
open position
•Never open the door when there are high flames on the wood
Uncontrollable Combustion
•Damaged door seal. Fit new seal
•If there is excessive chimney draft – fit a draft stabiliser in the flue pipe –
consult a chimney sweep or the Installation engineer
