DOOR OPERATION
el. Instead
push the doors on the door knobs.
Use the spanner type tool to open and close the doors. Turn
the knob on the right hand door anti-clockwise to open and
clockwise to close. When closing the doors, do not push on
the enamel with the tool as this can chip the enam
When the fire is alight, avoid touching doors other than with
the tool as the metal will become hot.
LIGHTING
Place some paper and dry kindling wood or fire lighters on
the grate and cover with a small amount of fuel. Turn the
thermostat control knob to the maximum setting and light the
paper or fire lighters. Close the doors and allow the fire to
burn until the fuel is well ignited then load with more fuel and
adjust the thermostat to the required level.
On initial lighting, the appliance may smoke and give off an
odour as the silicon paint with which the firebox is painted
reacts to the heat. This is normal and will cease after a short
time. In the meantime the room should be kept well
ventilated.
Before relighting the fire, riddle, remove any clinker from the
firebed and empty the ashpan.
GENERAL POINTS
Before lighting the fire, check with the installer that the work
and checks described in the installation instructions have been
carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is
sound, and free from any obstructions.
When using the fire in situations where children or infirm
people are present please use a fire guard to prevent
accidents. The fire guard should be manufactured in
accordance with BS 6539.
This appliance has been designed to conform with BS EN
13240 and BS EN 13229.
FUELS
This appliance has obtained the approval of HETAS Ltd.for
burning approved smokeless fuel.
WARNING: There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the
same room as this appliance as this can cause the appliance to
emit smoke and fumes into the room.
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is
alight. There is a risk of explosion or flash ignition of the spray.
If the appliance is fitted in place of an open fire then the
chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear
any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference
in combustion between the appliance and the open fire.
PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON
THIS APPLIANCE, ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE
GUARANTEE.
At first you may find it helpful to try several fuels to find the
most suitable. If you are unable to obtain the fuel you want,
ask your supplier or an approved fuel distributor to suggest an
alternative or ring the Solid Fuel Association Helpline on 0845
601 4406.
This stove is not designed to burn household waste. Liquid
Approved smokeless fuels are all suitable for use in smoke
controlled areas.

CONTROLLING THE FIRE
The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the
control knob on the left hand side of the appliance, shown in
Fig. 1. This is linked to a thermostat which controls the boiler
temperature. The number at the top of the knob is the
number at which it is set. Some experimentation may be
necessary to obtain the desired heat output.
HEATING SYSTEM
The heating system controls may consist of time switches,
room thermostats, outdoor temperature thermostats and
thermostatic radiator valves in virtually any combination.
These will work in conjunction with the thermostat control on
the fire. The thermostat on the fire will simply control the
There is also a manual secondary air control which is located
above the door opening as shown in Fig. 2. To adjust the
setting, open the doors and use the door opening tool to
move the flap to the desired position. This control should be in
the closed position when burning any of the recommended
fuels except for anthracite, or homefire which should be burnt
with the secondary air inlet open.
For correct firing we recommend the use of a stove pipe
thermometer which may be purchased from your supplier, or
from ourselves.
temperature of the boiler and hence the temperature of the
radiators and domestic hot water. The automatic controls
(other than thermostatic radiator valves) will switch the pump
(and hence the radiators) on and off. Your installer will be
able to explain the controls fitted to your system and how to
operate them.
ASH CLEARANCE
The ashpan should be emptied regularly before it becomes
too full. The most convenient time to remove the ash is just
before riddling the fire since the ash will then be at it’s
coolest. Use the tool provided to remove the ashpan.
Never allow the ash to accumulate in the ashpan so that it
comes in contact with the underside of the grate as this will
seriously damage the grate bars. Ensure that the air inlet
damper is not prevented from closing by spilled fuel or ash.
Care should be taken to ensure that ash is cool before
emptying it into plastic liners or bins.
To make ash removal easier there is a special Charnwood ash
carrier available. This may be purchased from your supplier
or, in case of difficulty, from ourselves.
RIDDLING
Riddling twice a day is usually sufficient. The fire should be
riddled with all doors shut. Place the tool on the knob and
rotate between the horizontal and the 45° position several
times as shown in Fig. 3.
Caution: When riddling the grate using solid fuel do not go
beyond the 45° position as this can cause the grate to jam.
If jamming does occur then the fire should be allowed to burn
for approximately half an hour before riddling the grate again
as described above.
Too much riddling can result in emptying unburnt fuel into the
ashpan and should therefore be avoided. Clinker should
regularly be removed from the firebed. After riddling, the
grate should be put back into the solid fuel position (the tool
should be horizontal).

REFUELLING
Keep the firebox well filled. The fuel may be sloped up from
the front firebars, but do not allow fuel to project over the
front fire bars, or damage to the glass may be caused when
the doors are closed. If any pieces of fuel have been
inadvertently loaded onto the top of the throat plate, then
remove them using the scraper tool.
OVERNIGHT BURNING
For overnight burning the fire doors must be closed.
Empty the ashpan, if necessary, and then riddle the fire. If the
fire is very low then it may be necessary to add a little fuel and
turn the thermostat control up to maximum for a brief period
until the fire is burning brightly before filling with fuel. If the
central heating pump is off overnight then the thermostat may
be left at the same setting for both day and night operation. If
the central heating pump is on overnight then set the
thermostat control to give the required level of heating. Some
experimentation may be necessary to find the setting most
suitable for the particular fuel used and the draw on the
chimney.
THROAT PLATE AND FLUEWAY CLEANING
It is important that the throat plate and all the appliance
flueways are kept clean. They should be cleaned at least
monthly, and more frequently if it is found necessary.
The throat plate and flueways may be cleaned with a low fire
still burning. Use the scraper tool to scrape any sooty
deposits to the front of the plate until they fall off into the
fire. Ensure that soot deposits are not allowed to build up on
the side boiler faces.
More soot will be deposited on the throat plate and in the
flueways if the appliance is run at low levels for long periods.
If this is the case then more frequent cleaning will be
necessary.
To revive the fire, open the thermostat control to maximum.
When the fire is burning well load on more fuel as necessary
and move the thermostat control to the desired setting.

Servicing
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. In most
installations it will be possible to sweep the chimney through
the appliance.
First remove the front firebars and the throat plate. Then
sweep the chimney ensuring that soot is removed from all
horizontal surfaces after sweeping.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the
appliance the installer will have provided alternative means,
such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney, the
appliance flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the fire to
the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
After clearing any soot from within the fire, replace the throat
plate and the front firebars.
Different types of sweep’s brushes are available to suit
different flueways. For standard brick chimneys a wire centre
sweep’s brush fitted with a guide wheel is recommended. For
prefabricated insulated chimneys the manufacturers
instructions with regard to sweeping should be consulted.
BOILER REDUCTION BRICK
The optional boiler reduction brick may be used when
reduced outputs are required, e.g. during the summer or
when the fire is fitted on to a small heating system.
To fit the brick, let the fire out, clear the grate of any ash and
It is recommended that the fire is serviced once a year to
keep it in first class working order. After cleaning out the
firebox thoroughly, check that all internal parts are in good
working order, replacing any parts that are beginning to show
signs of wear. Check that the door seals are in good condition
and that the door seals correctly. A servicing guide is available
on request. Repairs or modifications may only be carried out
by the Manufacturer or their approved agents. Use only
genuine Charnwood replacement parts.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
The appliance is finished in vitreous enamel or high
temperature paint. To clean the surfaces simply wipe over with
a dry cloth or soft brush. Abrasive pads and scouring cleaners
must not be used as these will damage the finish. Care should
be taken not to knock the enamel with hard objects as it will
chip.
Cleaning the Glass
The glass in the doors is a special ceramic glass which is able to
withstand high temperatures. Before cleaning the glass open
the doors and allow them to cool. Clean the glass using a
damp cloth and then wiping over with a dry cloth. Any
stubborn deposits on the glass may be removed with a
proprietary stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner. Some
deposits on the glass may be burnt off simply by running the
fire at a fast rate for a few minutes. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or pads as these can scratch the surface which will
weaken the glass and cause premature failure. Aerosol spray
cleaners should not be used near the appliance whilst it is
under fire.
When not in use
If the fire is going to be out of use for a long period, (for
instance in the summer,) then to prevent condensation, and
hence corrosion, the thermostat should be left at the
maximum setting and the main doors left ajar. It is also
advisable to sweep the chimney and clean out the fire.
Spraying the inside of the doors and firebox with a light oil,
such as WD40, will also help to keep all internal parts working
well.
After long periods where the fire has been out of use, the
chimney and appliance flueways should be cleaned before
lighting.
Door Seals
For the fire to operate correctly it is important that the door
seals are in good condition. Check that they do not become

fuel, and scrape the boiler faces clean. Lift out the deepening
bar and front firebar. Fit the brick into the fire with the thick
part of the brick at the bottom and the sloping face at the
front as shown on the parts list. Push the brick hard up against
the rear face of the boiler. The brick should rest on the side
fireplates and should be clear of the grate bars. Replace the
front firebar and deepening bar.
As the brick is not cemented into position, fitting and
removing it should only take a few minutes.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Fire Will Not Burn
Check that:
a) the air inlet is not obstructed in any way,
b) chimneys and flueways are clear,
c) a suitable fuel is being used,
d) there is an adequate air supply into the room,
e) an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the fire.
Fire Blazing Out Of Control
Check that:
a) the doors are tightly closed,
b) the thermostat knob is turned down to the minimum
setting,
c) the air inlet damper is closed (at the bottom left of the
appliance), and that it is not prevented from closing completely
by a piece of ash,
d) a suitable fuel is being used,
e) the door seals are in good condition.
Over-Firing
If the fire is over-fired it will cause premature failure of the
internal fire parts. Overfiring is occurring when any internal
parts of the fire begin to glow red. To prevent over-firing
ensure that:
a) the door seals are kept in good condition, and that the
doors are sealing correctly,
b) the thermostat on the fire is working correctly,
c) a suitable fuel is being used,
d) the fire is not fitted onto a heating system which is too
large.
Fume Emission
Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this
appliance will not emit fumes. Occasional fume from de-
ashing and re-fuelling may occur. Persistant fume emision is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume
emission does persist then the following immediate actions
should be taken:
A) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
B) Let the fire out and safely dispose of fuel from the
appliance.
C) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if
required.
D) Do not attempt to relight fire until cause of fume has
been identified, if necessary seek professional advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or
chimney blockage. For your own safety these must be kept
clean.
Freezing
Do not light the fire if there is any possibility that any parts of
the system may be frozen.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney
fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur
turn the control knob to the minimum setting, and tightly
close the doors of the appliance. This should cause the
chimney fire to go out in which case the control should be
kept at the minimum setting until the fire in the appliance has
gone out. The chimney and flueways should then be cleaned.
If the chimney fire does not go out when the above action is
taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately.
After a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully
examined for any damage. Expert advice should be sought if
necessary.
Lack of Heat To Radiators / Hot Water

Check that:
a) the fire is burning properly - if not then carry out the checks
under "Fire Will Not Burn".
b) the throat plate is fitted correctly (see Fig. 4.) and that it is
not distorted.
c) the door seals are in good condition.
d) If the hot water goes cold when the pump is turned on, or if
some radiators are hotter than others, then the system may
need balancing, the pump may be pumping the water too
quickly around the system, or the radiators may need
bleeding. Please ask your installer to check these points.
e) Ensure that the boiler reduction brick has not been fitted
when it is not required.
CO ALARM
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’ above.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please take care when installing the appliance that the
requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are
met.
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be
allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case of contact
wash with plenty of water.
If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course
of installation then please use appropriate protective
equipment.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as
the fire as this can cause the appliance to emit fumes into the
room.
There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which
the appliance is installed, to provide combustion air. This
should total at least 51cm² (7.8 in²) if the house has a designed
air permeability of more than 5m³/(h.m²), and at least 78cm²
(12in²) if the designed air permeability is less than 5m³/(h.m²).
Do not light the fire before the boiler has been connected to
the system and filled with water, as this can cause serious
damage to the boiler.
In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS:8303
and BS EN 15287 must be fulfilled. Local Authority Bylaws and
Building Regulations regarding the installation of Solid Fuel
burning appliances, flues and chimneys must also be observed.
PERFORMANCE
The rated output for the LA30iB is 6.3 kW (21,500 btu/h) to
water and 2.2 kW (7,500 btu/h) to the room. These are the
outputs obtained during testing in accordance with BS 3378
burning Sunbrite Doubles with the doors closed over a 4
hourly re-fuelling interval.
If the optional boiler reduction brick is fitted and the
deepening bar removed then the output is reduced to 3.0 kW
(10,200 btu/h) to water and 2.1 kW (7,100 btu/h) to the
room.
The heat output to the room is directly proportional to the
heat output to water as shown in Fig. 4. This means that if the
water heating load is less than the rated output then the room
heating will be reduced by the same proportion. This must be
borne in mind when calculating the heating requirements.

CO ALARMS
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 on the
installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN
50292:2002 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.
CHIMNEY
In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily the
chimney height must not be less than 4 metres measured
vertically from the outlet of the appliance to the top of the
chimney. T
If an existing chimney is to be used it must be swept and
checked, it must be in good condition, free from cracks and
blockages, and should not have an excessive cross sectional
area (eg. greater than 250mm x 250mm). If you find that the
chimney is in poor condition then expert advice should be
sought regarding the necessity of having the chimney lined. If it
is found necessary to line the chimney then a lining suitable for
Solid Fuel must be used.
If there is no existing chimney then a prefabricated block
chimney or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to
BS:15287-1:2007 can be used either internally or externally.
These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions and Building Regulations.
Single wall flue pipe is suitable for connecting the fire to the
chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney.
If it is found that there is excessive draw in the chimney then a
draught stabilizer should be fitted.
HEARTH
The appliance must be installed on a fireproof hearth The
he chimney must not be less than 150mm (6 inches)
internal diameter or 150 x 150mm internal square.
positioning of the appliance and the size of the hearth are
governed by building regulations for Class 1 appliances. These
building regulations state that the hearth must extend in front
of the appliance by at least 225 mm (9 inches) and to the
sides of the appliance by at least 150 mm (6 inches). If in
doubt as to the positioning of the appliance expert advice
should be sought either from the supplier or the local building
inspector.
PREPARATION OF FIREPLACE
Before fitting the appliance into an existing fireplace remove
the fireback and any loose in-fill material.
The hearth, surround and opening for the appliance must
conform with Figs. 6 and 9. The flat area around the opening
must be a minimum of 750 mm wide and 660 mm high.
Ensure that the hearth and the base in the opening are flat,
level, and at right angles to the surround.
Make two holes in the chimney breast, one in the front to give
access for infilling and fixing the flue pipe, and one in the side
to give access for the pipework.
CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM
The central heating system must comply with BS:5449 part 1.

If the system is to be a combined heating and domestic hot
water system then a double feed indirect hot water storage
cylinder to BS:1566 part 1 should be used. In order to prevent
the build up of scale and corrosion a suitable inhibitor should
be used. The system must be correctly vented as shown in
Figs. 8 and 9. The height differential between the header tank
and the appliance must not exceed 15.2 metres (50 feet).
If all four boiler tappings are used then, if possible, diagonal
pairs should be connected for domestic hot water and central
heating. Where a common return is used an injector tee must
be incorporated into the system as shown in Fig. 9. This will
ensure that a good domestic hot water supply is maintained
when the central heating pump is operating.
The system must incorporate a gravity circuit which will
normally heat the domestic hot water and an unvalved
radiator with an output of at least 0.75 kW. When the
appliance is not connected to a domestic hot water system the
unvalved radiator(s) on the gravity circuit must have an output
of at least 1.0 kW. This is to prevent boiling in case of pump
failure.
If the boiler reduction brick is fitted then the appliance may be
used for room heating and supplying domestic hot water
without the need for a gravity radiator.
All pipework in the primary circuit must be 28 mm diameter
and the gravity flow pipe must rise continuously from the
boiler to the open vent. Two typical systems are shown in
Figures 8. and 9.
If the fire is used to heat a small central heating system then
the heat output to the room from the fire will be reduced.
Fig. 5. shows the ratio of space heating to water heating
which can be expected.
SYSTEM CONTROLS
The circulating pump may be controlled by means of time
switches, room thermostats or outdoor thermostats.
Radiators may be either manually or thermostatically
controlled. These controls will all work in conjunction with
the thermostat on the appliance and the minimum return
thermostat.
We recommend fitting a pipe thermostat onto the gravity
return and wiring it into the mains supply to the pump so that
if the gravity return temperature drops below 45° C then the
pump will cut out. This will help to prevent condensation
forming on the boiler faces and will thereby increase the life
of the boiler. Use of a minimum return thermostat also
ensures that priority is given to the domestic hot water. These
thermostats are available from ourselves if you are unable to
obtain them locally.

Connect the heating system to the boiler ensuring that the
primary flow pipe rises from the fire. Fill the system with
water and check for leaks.
FLUE CONNECTION AND INFILLING
Make the flue connection with the special 150° elbow part no.
010/AV12. Please note that this item is ordered separately
from the appliance. The legs of the elbow may be cut on site
to suit the chimney. Also note that the legs of the elbow are
different lengths to enable some situations to be catered for by
turning the elbow around.
The end of the flue pipe must line up with the centre-line of
the chimney, and must also extend to the point where the
chimney narrows to its final size. Any large voids must be filled
and flaunched to the flue pipe to ensure that all soot deposits
can be cleared when the appliance is swept.
Ensure that the flue pipe is not obstructed or restricted in any
way and that all joints are well sealed.
Before infilling cover the front of the fire to protect it. Ensure
that the flue pipe is central and then fill the space between the
body of the fire and the structural brickwork with vermiculite
(eg. micafil or similar) concrete. Ensure that there are no air
pockets. The recommended mix is six volumes of vermiculite
granules to one volume of Portland cement thoroughly mixed
together. Enough water should be added so that no more than
one or two drops of water are released when a handful of the
mixture is squeezed.
After filling with vermiculite flaunch the top of the flue
connector pipe to the chimney with lime mortar.
Make good the holes in the front and side of the chimney
breast making sure that they are completely airtight. A typical
installation is shown in Fig. 11.
In most installations it will be possible to sweep the chimney
through the appliance. If this is not possible then some
alternative means (such as a soot door), must be provided.
The free-inset method of installation may be used instead of in-
filling. Details are available on request.
FITTING THE FIRE
In some cases it may be necessary to place the connecting flue
pipe in the chimney before fitting the fire into the fireplace.
Apply fire cement to the rear face of the sealing flange on the
appliance. Fit the appliance into the opening ensuring that it is
central and that a good seal is made between the sealing flange
and the face of the surround.
Remove any excess fire cement from around the sealing
flange.
The fire should be screwed to the hearth through the holes at
the base of the sealing flange.

THERMOSTAT
Before lighting the fire check the cold setting distance of the
thermostat.
With the control knob at the minimum setting the flap should
be just closed as shown in Fig. 12. To adjust the distance
slacken the locking nut and adjust as necessary. When set
correctly re-tighten the locking nut. Ensure that the flap opens
and closes freely as the knob is turned.
ASSEMBLY
Fit the side panels, hood and top grid onto the appliance.
Instructions for this are enclosed with the panel pack.
Replace any internal parts previously removed.
PRE LIGHTING CHECK
Before initial lighting check the following points:
1. The bottom grate bars must all be fitted and should move
freely and easily when the riddling mechanism is operated.
2. The plates round the sides and back of the grate must be in
position and sitting correctly.
3. The throat plate must be fitted in the roof of the appliance.
COMMISSIONING
On completion of the installation and after allowing a suitable
period of time for the fire cement and mortar to dry out, the
fire should be lit and checked to ensure that smoke and fumes
are taken from the appliance up the chimney and emitted
safely. Also check all joints and seals.
The central heating pump should be adjusted to give the
correct water flow against the circuit resistance and the system
should be correctly balanced.
On completion of the installation and commissioning please
leave the operating instructions with the customer and advise
