3.0 Preparation of Stove for Installation.
Your stove comes assembled, checked and packed in a protective plywood crate. Carefully
cut and remove the straps and lift off the top and upper crate. Remove any plastic
packaging, open the doors and remove all the contents. See List of Components section
(above) and check contents carefully.
WARNING: The stove is VERY HEAVY and should only be moved by more than one person using
appropriate equipment to assist.
3.1. If required remove the firebox and oven doors for easy handling –this is not normally
necessary. Remove the retaining clips on the bottom of the hinge pins. Open to about 30
degrees and lift upwards to disengage.
3.2. Remove all the interior components of the stove using the following procedure. SEE ALSO
MAINTENANCE GUIDE section.
3.2.1. Remove the flame grilling shelf from the firebox. Remove the fuel retainer bars by
lifting upwards until they can be disengaged from the side firebox liners and rotated
slightly to bring out of the front of the firebox.
3.2.2. Remove the baffle plate by sliding forward about 40mm, lifting and rotating until it
can be dropped down. There is a ceramic insulating board on top of the baffle plate –
handle this carefully to avoid breakage. The plate and board can then be removed
from the firebox and removed from the firebox opening.
3.2.3. Remove the two cast ceramic firebox side liners by gently easing the FRONT edges
forward and sliding away from the 45 degree mitre joint with the back liner at the
rear corners. Take great care not to chip or damage the surfaces of these ceramic
components –support the rear liner so that it cannot fall over and break!
3.2.4. Now remove the rear firebox liner. Handle and store these ceramic liners very
carefully to one side where they will not get broken.
3.2.5. If required remove the grate and ash pan tray from the bottom of the firebox
3.2.6. The flue spigot collar may now be fitted. Locate the 3 x M6 cap screws, 3 x nuts and
the spigot which are packed in the firebox or oven section. Fit the spigot to the outlet
using the gasket provided or fire cement to seal.
3.3. Move the stove into its final position using at least one assistant.
3.4. If required fix the stove to the hearth as required by using commercially available angle
brackets and drilling the stove legs for fixings.
3.5. Make the connection to the flue, chimney or liner using appropriate rigid flue pipe or
adaptor, making sure to seal all joints carefully. NOTE: The first 450mm of flue pipe MUST
be single wall to allow the bolster lid to open correctly. A specific heatshield kit is available
to reduce distance to combustibles behind the stove if necessary.
3.6. Now complete the installation according to these instructions, Building Regulations and
current installation standards, e.g. British Standards BS 8303 or competent person scheme
advice.
3.7. The internal parts of the stove can be re-assembled as the reverse of the previous removal
instructions. Optional kits and accessories have specific instructions provided.

4.0 Important Safety Information
4.1.WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
4.1.1. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION!
These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure 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 local regulations including Building Regulations, Local
Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations including UK or EU standards referred
to as they affect the installation of the stove. Approved Document J is particularly important for
England and Wales and can be downloaded for no cost at:
https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200135/approved_documents/72/part_j_-
_combustion_appliances_and_fuel_storage_systems
Also of importance are Approved Documents (A.D.) L1 A and B conservation of fuel and power.
The Domestic Heating Compliance Guide will also be found useful.
In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS 8303 and BS EN 15287 must be fulfilled.
The installation of a stove is a notifiable building works as defined in the building regulations
and it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the installation
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 .
If the stove is being installed in any kind of boat, leisure craft or holiday, temporary living or
camping accommodation, it is strongly recommended that a copy of British Standard BS 8511 –
2010 Code of Practice for Installation of Solid Fuel Heating and Cooking Appliances in Small Craft
is obtained. This gives sound advice on safety aspects of such installation. Installer competence
schemes may also be able to provide advice and training on installation in holiday, temporary
living or non-permanent accommodation.
4.1.2. Important Chimney Warning
This stove must not be installed into a shared chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
4.1.3. Extractor Fan Warning
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. If unavoidable the appliance must be checked with Approved
Document (A.D.) 1.21 and necessary action taken. Installer competence schemes such as HETAS
can provide guidance of a pressure test procedure to check safe operation of the stove and flue.
4.1.4. Cleaning and Chimney Sweeping
The appliance, flue & chimney must be cleaned and checked internally and externally regularly
in use and especially after a period of disuse (e.g. after summer). Lift down the baffle at least
weekly to check for build up of soot or debris on the top from the flue pipe. Remove the baffle and
check the flue spigot and connector is fully clear at regular intervals. The chimney and flue ways
inside the stove and flue connector itself must be swept at least annually, more often when used
with sooty fuels or damp wood. The chimney or flue can usually be swept through the appliance. A
wire centred sweeps brush with guide wheel is recommended. Any loose, broken or leaking joints
or flue ways MUST be repaired immediately. To clean the flue ways of the appliance 3 access

7Bakechef Range Issue 01 06/21
doors and removeable hot plate are provided. Any soot can then be brushed to the bottom of the
stove where it can be removed through the large removable oven base access door.
4.1.5. Fuels
Only use recommended fuels which is well seasoned or kiln dried wood logs, less than 20%
moisture e.g. Ready To Burn Scheme labelled. The appliance can be damaged by burning any type
of coal, petroleum coke, liquid fuels or general rubbish and this will invalidate your warranty and
risk your personal safety. The appliance must not be used as a rubbish incinerator.
4.1.6. Maintenance
Annual checking and servicing of the appliance and flue by a competent engineer is
recommended.
4.1.7. Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is ESSENTIAL for the safe and efficient operation of any solid fuel or wood
burning appliance. Ventilation MUST be provided where required by the stove output or flue
under-performance. Keep all ventilation clear and free of blockage, including the direct outside air
connection where used. See VENTILATION in INSTALLATION INFORMATION section.
4.2.Health And Safety Precautions
Special care must be taken when installing this stove to meet all requirements of the Health &
Safety at Work act.
4.2.1. Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for unloading and site handling. Stoves are very heavily built
so always ask for assistance when lifting and siting them. See Technical Data for weights.
4.2.2. Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the
skin. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.
4.2.3. 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.
4.2.4.Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove, proper care should be taken to avoid the possibility of
personal injury. Injury may be caused by component weight, sharp parts or trapping for example
and these risks should be identified and minimised.
5.0 Installation Information
5.1. Chimney/flue
The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to Building
Regulations. Minimum chimney height is 4.1m from the top of the stove and the recommended
minimum diameter is 125mm (5”). The chimney must be swept before connection to the stove.
Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry and free from cracks and obstructions. The
diameter of the flue should not be less than 125mm/5” (spigot diameter) at any point and not
greater than 200mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined by a
suitable method. When using a liner, a 5” 125mm flexible flue liner is permitted be used on these

8Bakechef Range Issue 01 06/21
stoves providing that the users only burns smokeless fuel or seasoned wood logs with the air
limiter fitted in in full accordance with the wood burning instructions.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible
that the higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that were previously
firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the
chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer or chimney
specialist. If there is no existing chimney, then either a solid fuel compatible prefabricated block
chimney 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.
When installing in a boat, temporary or leisure accommodation, particular care should be taken to
protect combustible construction materials from flue system heat. Heat radiated from single wall
flue can be very intense and therefore only properly constructed and tested twin wall flue is
recommended. Clearances from combustibles where flues pass near and through wooden roofs,
decks, canvas is critical for safety and purpose made components must be used to reduce risks to
life from potential fire. For boats, particularly canal narrow boats, properly insulated specially
designed flue kits are recommended.
5.2. Ventilation
Document J of the Building Regulations states that (except in recently built properties) purpose
provided ventilation is not required in England and Wales unless the appliance nominal rated
output is greater than 5kW. Over 5kW 5.5 cm2of ventilation (550mm2) is required for every kW
output above 5. For example 6.5 kW requires 8.25 cm2and 8 kW needs 16.5cm2. In any case, if
difficulty in starting the fire or any excessive fuming is experienced, ventilation must be put in
place as required to eliminate these flue problems. If a flue draught stabiliser is fitted then extra
ventilation is required. See Document J of the Building Regulations for detailed guidance especially
in new build properties where purpose provided ventilation may be required.
For ventilation in boats and leisure craft, please refer to British Standard BS 8511 –2010 Code of
Practice for Installation of Solid Fuel Heating and Cooking Appliances in Small Craft. This details
the requirements for stove installations including minimum 4000 mm2ventilation necessary
divided between high and low levels.
5.3. Flue Draught
Unscrew the inner screw in the flue collar test point and connect a suitable flue draught gauge.
Typically in a domestic installation a flue draught at the flue collar test point of 22 to 35 Pascals is
expected for normal appliance performance. This relates to 12-25 Pa at the higher tapping on
EN13240/13229 test rigs. The appliance may operate safely on shorter flues than the standard
4.5m minimum, although it will likely be necessary to open air controls significantly wider to
compensate for the reduced height and resulting lower draught. Re-seal test point with screw
provided after testing. Re- lubricating the screw again with a graphite or copper grease will help
the next installer or sweep use the test point in future. The flue draught should be checked under
fire at high output and, if it exceeds the recommended maximum, a draught stabiliser or damper
should be fitted so that the rate of burning can be controlled to prevent over-firing.
5.4. Connection to the Chimney
This appliance is not suitable for use in a shared flue.

9Bakechef Range Issue 01 06/21
A suitable 5” 125mm flexible flue liner is permitted be used on these stoves providing that they
only burn smokeless fuel or seasoned wood logs with the air limiter fitted in in full accordance
with the wood burning instructions.
An existing fireplace opening can be bricked up or sealed with a register plate. A short length of
suitable quality rigid flue pipe of a minimum 125mm internal diameter may then be used to
connect the stove to the chimney. A maximum of 150mm horizontal flue pipe can be used. This
flue pipe should conform to Building Regulations. If the connecting pipe enters the vertical flue
way at any other angle except vertically, ensure that the pipe end is no closer (along the axis
direction of the pipe) than 76mm to the side or rear chimney walls. Ideally, the old fireplace
should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamlined entry into the flue way. It is essential that
all connections between the stove and chimney-flue are sealed and made airtight with sealing
rope, clamping rings and/or fire cement or heat resisting cement where required.
Both the chimney and flue pipe must be accessible for cleaning and if ANY parts of the chimney
cannot be reached through the stove (with baffle removed), a soot door must be fitted in a
suitable position to enable this to be done.

A 450mm length of 125mm/5” single wall flue pipe is required to be fitted to the stove in order for
the bolster lid to open fully. This means that any timber or combustible rear wall materials must
be >350mm away or >75mm away with the flue heatshield fitted. Gypsum plaster and
plasterboard are non-combustible but will deteriorate unless temperatures are kept low using air
gaps and heat shielding.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that any furniture or other combustible materials are kept
at least 900mm clear from the front of the stove.
NOTE: Combustible surfaces can easily be protected from radiant heat from the stove by adding
non-combustible heat shielding between the stove and the materials with an air gap behind it. By
doing so, safe distances may be substantially reduced in practice. This is detailed in British
Standard BS 8511 –2010 Code of Practice for Installation of Solid Fuel Heating and Cooking
Appliances in Small Craft and BS 8303 - 2018 Installation of domestic heating and cooking
appliances burning solid mineral fuels.
COMBUSTIBLE SHELVES AND BEAMS
Due to the fact that combustible shelves, timber fireplaces and beams have potentially thousands
of possible configurations in conjunction with stoves outset or inserted partially or fully into
chambers, it is not possible to give firm guidance on dimensions to these features. As a guideline,
materials that are in ‘line of sight’ to the stove are more likely to overheat due to direct radiation
from the stove body than materials that are not in ‘line of sight’ (e.g. with stove fully inside a

10 Bakechef Range Issue 01 06/21
chamber). Materials above the stove are far more likely to overheat than materials alongside or
below. A guideline limiting temperature for solid timber (not surface finishes) is approximately 80-
85 degrees C with a normal ambient room temperature. Temperatures of combustible materials
can be substantially lowered with a simple heat shield constructed of a non-combustible material
and small air gap (6-12mm for example) between the shield and combustible material. Gypsum
plaster and plasterboards may well be non-combustible but can structurally deteriorate (crumble)
when exposed to temperatures of greater than 50 deg C for long periods of time.
Distances from NON-combustible materials:
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized non-combustible fireplace but a permanent free air
gap of at least 50mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50mm at the back of the
stove to obtain reasonable heat output and for access to the stove for removal and maintenance.
A clearance of 150mm will give a better heat output and make access a lot easier.
In accordance with Building regulations all non-combustible walls closer than 400mm to the stove
should be at least 75mm thick. For practical reasons the back wall of a fireplace recess and the
hearth should be made of non-combustible material.
5.6. Hearths:
These stoves do not require a constructional hearth beneath them as they do not cause the floor
temperature to exceed 100 degrees C. Hearths must be generally level. In all instances a non-
combustible superimposed hearth extending fully underneath the stove and forming an apron of
at least 225mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either side must be provided. The
superimposed hearth must not be less than 12mm thick and must have a clearly defined edge
(change of level) to discourage placing of any combustible materials on or partially over it.
The appliance shall be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. If the existing
construction does not meet this requirement, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate)
should be provided to achieve it.
5.7. Commissioning and Handover
CO Alarm: Building Regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or
wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the
same room as the appliance. Further guidance is available in BS EN50292:2002 and from the alarm
manufacturer’s instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either
installing the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance
and chimney system. It is recommended that an alarm also be fitted in other spaces where
Building regulations may not apply such as garden rooms, sheds, cabins, tents, glamping pods etc
as additional safety provision.
Upon completion of the installation, allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar
to dry out. A small fire may then be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from
the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere.
Advise the customer not to run the stove at full output for at 3 –4 days. Explain that the stoves
can provide much more or less output than their rated heat outputs depending upon fuels, fuel
loads used and how they are operated.

11 Bakechef Range Issue 01 06/21
Warn the customer that using excessive air (having the air controls open too wide for too long
with a full fuel load) can over-fire and irreparably damage the stove. Damage caused by over
firing is NOT covered by any warranty.
On completion of the installation and commissioning, check all parts of the appliance are correctly
fitted and ensure that the operating instructions and operating tools (including gloves) for the
stove are left with the customer. You must be sure to advise the customer on the correct use of
the appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to use only the
recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user on what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted into the room from the stove –
see Safety Notes section. The user should be warned that they MUST use a suitable fireguard in
the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

use with solid fuel appliances in the presence of children, the elderly or the infirm.
7.1.2. DO NOT perform modifications to the appliance as this could seriously
compromise safety in operation.
7.1.3. DO NOT OVERFIRE –it is possible to fire the stove beyond its design capacity, this
could buckle parts and damage the stove, so watch for signs of over firing –if any part
of the stove starts to glow red, including baffle plate or fuel retainer, the fire is in an
over fire situation and the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave the
stove unattended for long periods without first adjusting the controls to a reduced
and safe setting –careful air supply control should be exercised at all times.
7.1.4. WARNING –FUME EMISSION
Properly installed and operated, this appliance will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-
ashing and refuelling may occur which is not normally of serious concern. However, persistent
fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated.
If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken: -
1. Open doors and windows to ventilate room
2. Let the fire out or remove and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
3. Check for flue chimney blockage and clean if required.
4. Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause has been identified and corrected.
If necessary, seek professional advice from chimney or stove specialists.
Important! –Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as this appliance.
7.1.5. IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE
•Raise the alarm to let others in the house know.
•Call the Fire Service
•Reduce the appliance burning rate by closing all air controls fully.
•Move furniture and rugs away from the fireplace and remove any nearby ornaments.
•Place a fireguard or spark guard in front of the stove.
•Feel the chimneybreast for sign of excessive heat.
•Do not relight the fire until the chimney and flue ways have been examined by a
professional.
If the wall is becoming hot, move the furniture away. Ensure that the Fire Service can gain access
to your roof space in order to check this area for signs of fire spread.
7.1.6. CO ALARMS
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds
unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” below.
WARNING If the CO Alarm sounds unexpectedly: -
1. Open Doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
2. Let the fire go out.

7.2 Warnings:
This appliance is not designed for open operation and therefore should not be operated with the
doors open.
This stove is designed to burn wood fuel cleanly with high efficiency. However, for this product to
work properly it must be used correctly. If used correctly this stove will burn with the very useful
feature of clean glass.
It is essential that the stove has an adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation. DO NOT
block any ventilators provided. The primary, secondary and tertiary air inlets must be kept clear of
obstruction.
Warning! This appliance will be very hot when in operation and due care should be taken when
operating the controls. A tool and pair of quality leather gloves are provided to assist safe
operation.
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
7.3 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).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance
with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the
Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by
Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. In Northern
Ireland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Department of Agriculture,
Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better regulation Act
(Northern Ireland) 2016. In Wales these are authorised by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
The Go Eco Bakechef stove has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas
when burning wood logs. This is conditional upon fitting the supplied secondary air control limiters
and following the wood burning instructions precisely. Suitable Authorised fuels can also be used
in the appliances in Smoke Control Areas (see Authorised fuels for use in Smoke Control Areas
here https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php ).
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:
https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules . 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.

7.4 Air Controls
Keep air controls and inlets/outlets clean and free from ash or debris at all times. Keep
ventilator air inlet grille or direct external air intake grille (if fitted) clean and clear at all times.
Do not leave air controls fully open unless monitoring the fire as over firing damage (typically
buckling of components) can result which is not covered by any warranty.
7.4.1 Air Control Operation
Primary (under grate) air is automatically provided in the correct quantity for wood burning by
the internal firebox design and there is no separate control required.
Secondary (air wash) air is controlled by the left slider on the top right rear of the stove marked
FIRE +/-.
Tertiary air is automatically controlled by draught through pre-set intakes at the back of the stove
body.
The closed position of the air control should only be used if absolutely necessary for very slow
burning and when burning wood will cause the glass to become blackened, the chimney to
gradually become tarred and smoke to be emitted from the stove. This is not recommended.
Wood burning: Move the air control slider fully to the rear (IGN/open/+) for maximum air to start
or revive a wood fire. Returning the lever towards the front position will reduce the air supply
progressively to reduce the burn rate. The nominal burn rate is usually achieved when the stove is
fully warmed up (2-3 loads of logs) and burning dry hardwood logs by having the lever very
approximately 30-40mm along the quadrant from the closed position. This is only a rough guide as
flue length/diameter/temperature, wind and fuel conditions will vary the required position. The
fire will automatically be supplied with the correct mix of tertiary air for complete combustion.
The maximum position conveniently provides a boost of primary air as well to get new fuel
burning quickly in order to minimise smoke. Do not leave on maximum setting unless monitoring
the fire to ensure over firing damage does not occur.
7.4.2 Air Wash
All Charlton & Jenrick stoves are provided with a sophisticated “air wash” system to assist in
keeping the fire as visible as possible and reducing (not eliminating) cleaning intervals. This
secondary air supply to the stove is controlled through secondary air slider knob on the top right
rear of the stove. The Clean Air Act air limiter bracket will deliberately prevent full closure of this
control. Always use this control at least partly open to avoid excessive smoke and blackening of
the stove glass with tar.
7.4.3 Tertiary Air
This appliance is also fitted with a patented tertiary air combustion system that burns otherwise
uncombusted gasses in the products of combustion thereby improving efficiency, increasing heat
output and decreasing unwanted atmospheric emissions. The Tertiary air supply to the stove is
controlled automatically by the draught in the flue and firebox. At certain stages of burning you
may notice “jets” of swirling flame emerging near the air holes to the rear of the firebox. This is
not always visible depending upon the fuels and burn cycle stage so there is nothing untoward
happening if it cannot be seen.
7.4.4 Wood burning Grate
Your stove is fitted with a wood only grate to assist with both clean burning combustion and ash
management. It can be de-ashed by GENTLY using a poker or ash rake. The grate is a strong set of
steel bars with suitable air slots that assist the burning of ready to burn wood fuel. DO NOT burn

16 Bakechef Range Issue 01 06/21
any type of coals or smokeless coal type fuels as it will invalidate warranty, produce unwanted
emissions and damage the grate. A large build-up of wood ash is not recommended as it will
increase emissions, reduce burning rates and oven temperature noticeably.
7.4.5 Ashpan
It is essential that you empty the ash pan regularly to avoid increasing emissions, reducing burning
rate and oven temperature. Remove or slide up the fuel retainer bars and use the flat end of the
tool provided to lift the front and carefully slide the ash pan and grate together out of the stove.
7.5 Cleaning
Glass: Despite the advanced air wash system provided, the glass will still need cleaning from time
to time depending on the fuel quality and burning rates used. Never clean glass when the stove is
hot. Always use stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner, which is available from your stove
retailer or supermarket. As an alternative, use a wet cloth with some of the wood ash if burning
wood but be very careful to use very clean ash so as not to scratch the glass.
Outer body: The outer body simply needs to be dusted or wiped with a clean cloth from time to
time. DO NOT use wet/damp cloths as it will spread plaster, cement, fire cement or fire board
dust and subsequently etch and cause the paint to turn grey with heat where it has been wiped. It
will also promote surface rusting. DO NOT use any kind of furniture polish or cleaning agent other
than your stove suppliers recommended paint.
Inner firebox: Brush the inside of the firebox clean from time to time to check the integrity of the
plates and liners. See Maintenance Guide section for instructions on how to remove parts of the
stove. It is not normally necessary to paint inside the firebox due to the high temperatures that
mean that the paint does not have much effect before being burnt off. Steel and cast firebrick
liners are very resilient firebox materials and will give reliable service without major cleaning or
work on the firebox. The liner bricks may require replacement occasionally depending upon fuels
and the type of usage experienced. Firebox linings are able to continue in service with cracks or
repairs by fire cement, as long as the steel underneath is not exposed to the fire. Firebox linings
are not covered by warranty, as they are a wearing consumable part.
Baffle: It is essential to check the top of the baffle for build up of soot and ash regularly when in
use and after a long period of disuse –e.g. summer. From time to time remove the baffle if
necessary to ensure that the flue way entrance is clear. Baffle plates will require replacement from
time to time and are a wearing consumable part.
Air Supply: It is essential to check any air supply ventilator in the property or the external air
intake of the stove is fully clear and open if installed.
7.6 Fuels
The appliance is fitted with a wood burning grate and the appliance has been tested and approved
burning dry, well-seasoned logs (<20% moisture e.g. Ready To Burn certified). This is the
recommended fuel. For any other fuels please contact the manufacturer for advice.
Note: Warning!- Petroleum coke fuels or household waste must not be burnt on this appliance -
damage is likely to occur.
Should any difficulties arise over fuel quality or suitability, consult your local approved fuel
merchant.
7.7 Important Information for Wood Burning
With a full load of wood and burning near nominal output the stove will typically need to be
refuelled approximately every 45 min to 1.25 hours. One or two large logs will generally burn
longer and cleaner than a number of smaller ones. Wood can usually be stacked higher in the

17 Bakechef Range Issue 01 06/21
stove but care must be taken that logs do not touch the baffle or the glass panel. Do not stack logs
above the level of the rear firebox liner brick tertiary air holes at the back of the stove.
Always make sure that flames are visible above the wood after re-fuelling for cleanest burning.
Burning without flames above the fuel will create unnecessary smoke and poor heat output.
After re-fuelling, fully open the air control and leave the door ajar for 2 minutes or until the logs
are fully blackened to achieve full flames above the fuel.
It is only necessary to remove surplus ash from the stove occasionally but do not allow it to build
up too much which can cause additional emissions, reduced burning rate and lower oven
temperatures.
Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood, which should have been cut, split and stacked - under cover
from rain - for at least 12-24 months with free air movement around the sides of the stack to
enable it to dry out. Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create tar deposits in the stove and
chimney and will not produce a satisfactory heat output. Wood that is not properly dry (‘dry’ is
considered to be less than 20% internal moisture content e.g. Ready to Burn Certified) uses up
energy from the burn process to evaporate the water inside the wood thus creating very poor
conditions for combustion. The main cause of burning problems with wood stoves is due to
excessively damp wood. Wood can appear perfectly dry on the outside but still contain 40-50%
water on the inside. A moisture meter can be purchased from stove and equipment suppliers if
you wish to check your wood source is correct. Split a log and check the inside as well as the
outside.
7.7.1 Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed 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 so that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers
in the fire bed, add suitable kindling and a firelighter if necessary to prevent excessive smoke.
Open the air control fully and leave the door ajar until the fuel is blackened and well alight. Always
maintain flames above the fuel.
7.7.2 Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause excess smoke. Never load fuel above the back firebrick firebox liner or allow it to touch the
glass. Two logs placed side by side aligned from front to back of the firebox is a typical fuel load.
All models max log diameter = approx. 75-100mm oval/split. Approximate max length = 350mm.
One log is acceptable ONLY if loading onto a hot, well established fire bed.
7.7.3 Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke and spillage into the room. The appliance
must not be operated with the appliance door left open.

18 Bakechef Range Issue 01 06/21
7.8 Lighting the Stove
We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you
operate your stove to its maximum heat output. This is to allow the
paint to cure steadily and to give a long service life of the paint
finish. During this curing in process you may notice an unpleasant
smell whilst the finishes finally cure. It is non-toxic, but for your
comfort we would suggest that during this period you leave all
doors and windows open.
First, open the air control slider (the left slider) control fully to the
back of its travel (+ and IGN symbols). Open the oven control slider
(right side slider) fully to the back of its travel (- position) Load the
firebox with 4-6 small fully dry split logs in a crossed pattern
centrally within the firebox space.
Next add plenty of dry kindling sticks and a firelighter ON TOP of the
4 logs. A crib type lattice pattern tends to work well as shown. Use
plenty of kindling so that the charcoal from the wood ignites the
logs underneath well.
Light the firelighter(s), leaving the air controls fully open,
leave the door ajar whilst the fire takes. It should not be
necessary to leave the door open more than this. DO NOT
leave the stove unattended if you find it necessary to leave
the door ajar for some time.
The kindling will burn and set light to the logs by radiation
and gradually breaking down to charcoal with fewer
emissions than the traditional logs on top method.
Allow the fuel to reach a hot burn and close the door whilst
leaving the air control fully open for a further time. Often, the
initial fuel can now be left to burn to charcoal without much further
attention. Next build the fire up carefully by adding to or three small
split logs at a time. Do not overload the fire bed with more than
four small logs at a time or overly large logs. NB: Use some more
kindling if the fire is struggling to establish.
Once you have a good fire bed established across the grate, further
fuel can be added step by step as required. Don’t be tempted to
overload the fire bed with fuel all at once or close down the air
control until the fire is really well established for some time.
Once the ignition period is well under way, gradually reduce
the air controls to establish the burning intensity you require.

19 Bakechef Range Issue 01 06/21
7.9 Re-fuelling
The fire will die down as the fuel is consumed. When the flames begin to disappear, and the
remainder is breaking down into glowing embers it is an appropriate time to consider re-fuelling.
In normal use, unless the firebox and fire bed has cooled down and it is being revived up to
working temperature, then it’s not appropriate to re-fuel when the logs are still flaming fiercely.
NOTE: If the flames disappear and there are still lumps of solid wood left this indicates excessive
internal moisture in the wood, too low a firebox temperature (running too cool or burning too
slowly), too small a fuel load or insufficient air supply/flue draught.
NOTE: To eliminate unwanted smoke emission, after loading new logs on to the fire, open the air
wash control up fully and leave the door slightly ajar for 2 minutes or until the logs are blackened
all over to boost the fire and get flames issuing from the top of the fuel as soon as possible. When
flames are well established, reduce the air wash to the running setting required. Burning without
flames above the fuel will create unnecessary smoke. Do not load fuel above the tertiary air holes
in the rear firebrick at the back of the firebox.
Loading 1 or 2 medium-large sized logs weighing 1-2kg DRY will produce a good output with
reasonable burn time. Medium/short, large diameter logs will burn longer, and conversely long
small logs will burn up much quicker producing a high output and more emissions for a short time,
and a large log will take longer to burn and produce less output and less emissions over a given
time. These appliances are approved for intermittent operation on wood (typically 0.75 to 1.5
hour burn cycles) although longer burn times can be achieved by fully loading the firebox, getting
the fuel burning well and then shutting the air controls right down (see below). This will produce a
long but smoky/tarry burn (not recommended). The fire will then need reviving by first opening
the air controls and then using small pieces of wood and plenty of air to get flames issuing from
the wood again. Never load fuel above the rear firebrick or allow it to spill onto the glass.
7.10 Shutting Down
The stove will normally shut down by itself as the fuel is consumed so there is no need to close the
air control towards the end of the burn. In order to shut down the stove for other reasons, close
air control. If the controls are left in this position, the fire will eventually go out but it will also
cause the glass to blacken/grey out as the fire dies down. If you want to revive the fire it is
recommended that the air controls are opened fully initially.
Warning! - The stove will remain very hot for a considerable time after the fire has died down or
been extinguished.
7.11 Shut down for prolonged periods
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough
clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the
appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent corrosion damage, leave the air controls open.
It is important that the flue connection, any appliance baffles or throat plates and the chimney are
swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
7.12 Hot Plate
A solid reinforced steel hot plate is provided on the top of the stove for cooking and heating
purposes. The circular centre section can be removed for using a Wok or round bottomed cooking
pan –but replace it as soon as the pan is removed. Always use flat-bottomed kettles or pans on the
surface of the hot plate as they allow the best heat transfer.
