These appliances have been approved by HETAS as intermittent
operating appliances for burning dry seasoned wood logs only.
HETAS approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or
mixed with wood logs nor does it cover the instructions for use of
other fuels.
Tool required for fitting the riddling grate:
10mm Spanner
Pozidriv screwdriver
Before fitting the riddling grate (Fig. 1) remove the fuel retainer and
the wood ash retainer. The wood ash retainer is not required when
the riddling grate is fitted.
Undo the nut on the riddling blanking hole using a 10mm spanner.
Remove the cover and spacing washer (ensure you keep these in a
safe place as you will need to replace them if the riddling grate is
removed).
Feed the riddler rod through the hole on the right hand side of the
stove, and slide one washer onto the rod (if there is not sufficient
room to the right of the stove to do this then remove the riddler
knob, fit one washer over the rod and then slide the rod through the
hole from the inside of the stove).
Feed the rod through the two side fireplates and slide the other
washer on to the rod so that the washers end up outside the two side
fireplates. With the side fireplates pushed together fit the retaining
clips so that the washers come inside the clips.
Slide the side fireplates apart so that they rest against the sides of the
firebox. Slot in the front and rear support plates.
FITTING THE RIDDLING GRATE
Congratulations on becoming the owner of a HETAS approved
Charnwood C-Series Stove. Your stove has been approved by DEFRA
to burn wood logs in a smoke control area if it is used in accordance
with these instructions. It is therefore very important that you read
and understand these instructions before using the stove.
FUEL
Before lighting the stove 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. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared
flue system.
Remember that the stove will be hot and that it is made from hard
materials – ensure that you have good balance before operating the
fire.
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.
The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.
This stove has been designated to burn wood. Only dry well seasoned
wood should be burnt on this appliance as burning wet unseasoned
wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits in the stove, on the glass and
within the chimney. For the same reason hard woods (such as Ash,
Beech and Oak) are better than soft woods (such as Pine and
Spruce). Burning wet unseasoned wood will also result in
considerably reduced outputs. The wood should be cut and split and
then left to season in a well ventilated dry place for at least one year
but preferably two years before use. Approximate suitable log sizes
are:
C4 & C6 255mm (10in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter
C5 & C8 305mm(12in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter
C7 380mm(15in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter.
This stove is not designed to burn household waste.
For advice on other fuels please contact Charnwood.
PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON
THIS APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE
GUARANTEE.
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or
infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent
accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be
manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002.

Fit the grate plates into position through the front and rear grate
support plates, making sure they locate correctly onto the riddler
rod. Fit the fuel retainer. Slide the ashpan under the grate.
On initial lighting, the stove 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, but meanwhile the room
should be kept well ventilated.
At first only light a small fire and burn it slowly for two hours to allow
any residual moisture in the chimney to evaporate.
Light the stove using dry kindling wood and paper or fire lighters. Put
the paper, or fire lighters, and kindling in the firebox and cover with a
few small dry logs. Open the air control fully (see Fig. 2). Light the
paper or fire lighters. The door may be left cracked open for a few
minutes to assist the combustion and heat up the firebox more
quickly. When the kindling wood is well alight add a few more small
logs, close the door but leave the air control fully open. When the
flames are established around these logs, load the stove with the
required fuel load. Maintain the air control at maximum at this stage.
Once the fire is up to temperature the airwash system will begin to
work, so allow the fire to become hot before adjusting the air control
to the required setting. During the lighting period, do not leave the
stove unattended. Do not leave the door open except as directed
above to avoid excessive smoke.
When relighting the stove, leave the ash on the base if burning wood,
unless it is becoming too deep, in which case some of it may be
removed. If burning high ash content fuel, clear the grate and empty
the ashpan before relighting.
LIGHTING
CONTROLLING THE FIRE
REFUELLING
ASH CLEARANCE
The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the air
control (see Fig. 2).
Open the air control fully (boost position) when lighting or when
rapid burning is required. It should not be left fully open for long
periods as this can cause over-firing or excessive smoke production.
For high output move the air control to the ‘click position’ or for low
burning to the fully closed position.
When the fire is burning normally the air control gives enough
airwash to keep the glass clean. However, it will not always be
possible to keep the glass clean with the air control fully closed.
Keep the firebox well filled but do not allow fuel to spill over the top
of the fuel retainer.
Logs should be evenly distributed, filling the firebed to give the most
pleasing flame pattern. The air control must be fully opened after
refuelling until the flames are established above the fire. It is best to
refuel on to a hot bed of ash. If at this point the fire starts to die, the
door must be cracked open until the fire is revived. If the fire has
started to die down before refuelling, then more kindling wood must
be added, the air control opened fully and the door cracked open to
re-establish the firebed adding larger logs (see suitable log
sizes in Fuel section). This will avoid excessive smoke emission.
Care should be taken, especially when burning wood, that fuel does
not project over the fuel retainer or damage to the glass may be
caused when the door is closed. It can also cause the glass to blacken
up. Maximum filling height is such that logs cannot fall from the fire
when the door is opened. In smoke controlled areas do not fill the
stove above the level of the front firebars as overloading can cause
excess smoke. Liquid fuels are not to be used on this appliance.
The ashpan should be emptied regularly before it becomes too full.
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. The ashpan is handled using the tool provided. Care
should be taken to ensure that ash is cool before emptying it into
plastic liners or bins.

For
correct firing we recommend the use of a stove pipe thermometer
which may be purchased from your supplier or from Charnwood.

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 Charnwood.
For reduced burning the fire door must be closed.
When burning wood in areas that are not smoke controlled, load
some large logs on the fire and allow to burn for half an hour before
closing the air control (this will help to reduce tar deposits in the
chimney). Some experimentation may be necessary to find the setting
most suitable for the type of fuel being used and the draw on the
chimney.
To revive the fire, empty the ashpan (if burning fuel other than
wood), riddle the fire, and open the air control to maximum. When
the fire is burning well load on more fuel as necessary and adjust the
air control to the desired setting.
REDUCED BURNING
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Cleaning the Glass
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
air control should be left fully open and the fire door left ajar. It Is
also advisable to sweep the chimney and clean out the fire. Spraying
the inside of the door and firebox with a light oil, such as WD40, will
also help to keep all internal parts working well.
The stove is finished with a high temperature paint which will
withstand the temperatures encountered in normal use. This may be
cleaned with a damp lint-free cloth when the stove is cold. Should re-
painting become necessary, high temperature paints are available
from your supplier or from stove shops.
Most deposits on the glass may be burnt off simply by running the fire
at a fast rate for a few minutes. If it becomes necessary to clean the
glass then open the door and allow it 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. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads
as these can scratch the surface which will weaken the glass and cause
premature failure
After long periods
where the fire has been out of use, the chimney and appliance
flueways should be cleaned before lighting.
Door Seals
Servicing
For the fire to operate correctly it is important that the door seals
are in good condition. Check that they do not become worn or
frayed and replace them when necessary.
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 doors
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.
THROAT PLATE AND
FLUEWAY CLEANING
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
It is important that the throat plate and all the stove flueways are kept
clean in order to prevent potentially dangerous fume emission. They
should be cleaned at least monthly, and more frequently if necessary.
It is necessary to let the fire out to carry out these operations.
The front of the throat plate is pulled forward and then lowered as
shown in Fig. 3. Any sooty deposits should then be swept from the
plate and into the fire.
Return the throat plate to its correct position - raise the front of the
plate, push it back and then lower it onto the retaining lugs.
Where the chimney previously served an open fire, it is possible that
the higher flue gas temperature from a stove may loosen soot
deposits with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore
recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a

when re-fuelling the stove.
c) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front fence as
possible, do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox.
d) Do not completely close the air control.
It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the
stove very slowly for long periods.
If blackening of the glass still occurs check that all flue connections
and the blanking plate are well sealed. It is also important that the
chimney draw is sufficient and that it is not affected by down-draught.
When the chimney is warm a draught reading of at least 2.5 mm
(0.10 in.) water gauge (25Pa) should be obtained. Some blackening
of the glass may occur below the level of the fuel retainer. This will
not obscure the view of the fire or affect its performance.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney
blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean.
Check that:
a) The door is tightly closed.
b) The air control slider is fully closed.
c) A suitable fuel is being used.
d) Door seals and airwash slide are intact.
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should
not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur close the air control,
Fume Emission
Warning Note:
Properly installed and operated this appliance will not emit fumes.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur.
Persistent fume emission 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 and then leave
the premises..
b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of the fuel from the
appliance.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
d) Do not attempt to re-light the fire until cause of fuming has
been identified, if necessary seek professional advice.

month of regular use after installation.
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. Where the top
outlet or vertical rear flue connector is used it will generally be
possible to sweep the chimney through the appliance.
First remove the fuel retainer 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 stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue
brush.
After clearing any soot from within the stove, replace the throat plate
(see Fig. 3) and the fuel retainer.
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 stove.
f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney. Once the chimney is warm a
draught reading of at least 2.5 mm (0.10 in.) water gauge (25Pa)
should be obtained.
Differences in chimney draughts mean that the best settings of the air
controls will vary for different installations. A certain amount of
experimentation may be required, however the following points
should be noted and with a little care should enable the glass to be
kept clean in most situations:
a) Wet or unseasoned wood, or logs overhanging the front fence will
cause the glass to blacken.
b) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean,
therefore, when lighting the stove allow the firebed to become well
established before closing the air control. This may also be necessary
Fire Will Not Burn
Blackening of Door Glass
Different types of sweep’s brushes are available to suit different
flueways. For prefabricated insulated chimneys the manufacturers
instructions with regard to sweeping should be consulted.

and tightly close the door of the appliance. This should cause the
chimney fire to go out in which case the controls should be kept
closed until the stove 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.
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.
If you need further help with your Charnwood then your Installer will
be able to provide the answers to most questions. Your Local
Charnwood Premier Dealer has a great deal of experience and will
also be able to provide helpful advice. Further help is available from
the Charnwood Customer Services department who will be pleased
to give advice, if necessary.

HEALTH AND SAFET Y PRECAUTIONS
Please take care when installing the stove 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
stove as this can cause the appliance to emit fumes into the room.
.
Minimium areas are given in the following table:
This stove is capable of intermittent operation, and is not suitable for
use in a shared flue system.
In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS.8303 and
BSEN 15287-1:2007 must be fulfilled. Local Authority Bylaws and
Building Regulations, including those referring to national and
European Standards, regarding the installation of Solid Fuel burning
appliances, flues and chimneys must also be observed.
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.
CO ALARMS
There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the
appliance is installed to provide combustion air. The combustion air
supply must be via a permanently open vent. The requirement for
minimum free area is partly dependent on the design air permeability
of the house. In older properties the air permeability will be above
5.0m /(h.m ), but in some modern properties it may be less.
3 2 The
vent must be positioned such that it is not liable to blockage
SPECIFICATION
CHIMNEY
The outputs in the table are based on a 45 minute re-fuelling cycle
burning seasoned hardwood logs. All tests are carried out in
accordance with BSEN 13240.
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 stove to the top of the chimney. The internal dimensions
of the chimney should preferably be 175 mm (7") or 200mm (8")
either square or round and MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 125 mm
(5") for C-Four and C-Five or 150mm (6") for C-Six, C-Seven and C-
Eight.
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. If it was previously
used by 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 stove and the open fire.
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 BSEN 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 stove 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
stabiliser should be fitted.
It is important that there is sufficient draw in the chimney and that
the chimney does not suffer from down-draught. When the chimney
is warm the draw should be not less than 2.5mm (0.10") water gauge
(25 Pa). If in doubt about the chimney seek expert advice.
HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND
The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth and must not be situated
closer than the minimum distance from combustible materials (see
specification table) to the sides or rear above hearth level unless
adequately fireproofed in accordance with local building regulations.
The hearth must be of fireproof material and at least 12mm (1/2in.)
thick. The positioning of the stove 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
stove by at least 300mm (12 in.) and to the sides of the stove by at
least 150mm (6 in.).
If in doubt as to the positioning of the stove, expert advice should be
sought either from the supplier or the local building inspector. The
fireplace must allow good circulation of air around the appliance to
ensure that maximum heat is transferred to the room and also to
prevent the fireplace from overheating. A gap of 150mm (6") each
side and 300mm (12") above the appliance should give sufficient air
circulation. If a wooden mantelpiece or beam is used in the fireplace it
should be a minimum of 460mm (18"), and preferably 600mm (24")
from the appliance. In some situations it may be necessary to shield
the beam or mantelpiece to protect it.
In order for the fire to operate correctly and to allow for access,
there must be an air gap behind the appliance of at least 75mm, but
be aware that this distance will need to be greater in some cases to
meet Building Regulation requirements.
When the fire door is open, it extends beyond
the flat front of the stove by the following amounts:
C-Four & C-Six 365mm, C-Five 436mm, C-Seven 515mm, and C-
Eight 450mm.

CONNECTIONS TO FLUES
The stove must be connected to the flue using flue pipe of the
following sizes:
If the optional vertical rear flue connector is used then the chimney
may be swept through the appliance.
Horizontal lengths of flue must be kept to a minimum and should not
be more in length than the flue diameter.
The stove comes with the blanking plate fitted to the top flue outlet.
The seal for the outlet is a 180mm dia ring of rope seal. The seal
for the outlet is a length of adhesive backed fibre webbing
supplied with instructions. This is applied to the flue collar or the
Vertical Rear Flue adapter for rear outlet installations. For top outlet
installations, the blanking plate must be removed, have the webbing
fitted to its sealing face, and fitted to the rear flue outlet.

This may be stainless steel, cast iron, or thick wall steel pipe. Straight
lengths of Charnwood Pipe to match the stove are available if
required.
There are several ways of connecting the stove to the flue. These are
illustrated in Figs. 4 to 7.
Ensure that
the fold on the clamping plate is in line with the lugs on the firebox as
shown in Fig 8. Ensure that the clamping plate does not prevent the
throat plate from seating correctly. All flue connections must be well
sealed.
For top outlet installations on the the flue collar
deflector must be fitted at the same time as the flue collar because it
uses the same bolts to secure it to the stove. The longest length of the
flue collar deflector must be aligned with the front of the stove as
shown in Fig 9.

SOOT DOORS
It is possible to pass a 16 inch diameter sweeps brush through the
appliance but in most back outlet installations it will be necessary to
have a soot door to enable the chimney to be swept. The optional
vertical rear flue connector does allow the chimney to be swept
through the stove. Soot doors may either be in the actual brickwork
of the chimney or in the register plate. Various positions of soot
doors are shown in Figs. 4 to 7.
UNPACKING THE STOVE
The stove arrives bolted and shrink-wrapped to its pallet. There must
be adequate facilities for unloading and manoeuvring into position
The wrapping is first removed, then the stove released from the pallet
by either removing the single bolt (C-4) or 4 pallet bolts(C-5 to C-8)

using a 10mm spanner. The pallet brackets can now be removed from
the stove by tilting it and using a 13mm spanner to remove the bolts.

intended to be cut up and used for kindling fuel.
PRE LIGHTING CHECK
COMMISSIONING
Ensure that the throat plate is fitted in the roof of the appliance. The
location and positioning of the throat plate is shown in Fig. 3.
Check that the front fence is fitted correctly and that the door closes
properly.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for
the fire cement and mortar to dry out before lighting the fire. If no
grate is fitted make a layer of ash or sand on the base of the stove
before lighting. Check to ensure that smoke and fumes are taken
from the appliance up the chimney and emitted safely. Also check all
joints and seals. On completion of the installation and commissioning
please leave the operating instructions with the customer and advise
them on the use of the appliance.
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).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has
powers under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt
appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and
Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations
for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern
Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a
requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control
areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used
to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have
been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of
CAA AND SMOKE CONTROL

1993 including designation and supervision of smoke control areas
and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements.
