OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on becoming the owner of a Charnwood Skye
E700 Stove. It is very important that you read and understand these
instructions before using the stove.
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. Always use the provided operating tool and gloves.
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.
This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper
operation. It is against federal regulations to operate this wood
heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this
manual.
REMEMBER THE STOVE WILL BE HOT WHILE IN
OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN
BURNS.
The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.
FUEL
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. Recommended log
sizes are:
12” (300mm) long and 3” (75mm) diameter
The maximum log length is 17” (430mm)
Best results are obtained if two logs are loaded simultaneously,
positioned from side to side, one in front of the other.
Log moisture content of less than 20% is recommended.
PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON
THIS APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE
GUARANTEE.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE
FIRE.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR ‘FRESHEN UP’ A FIRE
IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
DO NOT PLACE FUEL WITHIN SPACE HEATER
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OR WITHIN THE SPACE
REQUIRED FOR CHARGING AND ASH REMOVAL
DOOR OPERATION
The door handle has been carefully designed to be cool to touch.
However, if you need to open the door when the fire is running at
maximum then the additional use of a cloth or glove may be required.
Do not slam or strike the door.
Take care not to touch the door as it will be hot when the fire is
burning. Pull the door handle to open, and push to close. For normal
operation, the door must be closed.
DO NOT USE THIS STOVE IF THE DOOR GLASS IS BROKEN.
MULTI GRATE
Fig. 1 Operating the grate
Your Charnwood Skye is fitted with a multi grate to enable wood to
be burned and ash to be cleared. The grate has two positions:
Wood positionRiddle

6
®
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) In the wood position the grate bars are horizontal, allowing the
combustion air to come round the sides of the grate and over the top
of it. In this position ash is able to build up on the grate as is necessary
for effective wood burning.
2) In the open position the grate bars are vertical with gaps in
between allowing the ash to fall in the ashpan.
The grate is put into the open position by turning the operation tool
anticlockwise. The grate is put into the wood position by turning the
operation tool clockwise. To riddle the appliance the tool should be
moved between the clockwise and anticlockwise positions several
times. When burning wood the ash should be allowed to build up
and riddling should only be carried out once or twice a week.
RIDDLING
When burning wood, ash should be allowed to build up and only
riddled when the ash begins to cover the rear fireplate. The fire
should be riddled with the door shut (see Fig.2). Place the operating
tool onto the riddling lever and rotate between the open and closed
positions several times. Too much riddling can result in emptying
unburnt fuel into the ashpan and should therefore be avoided. After
riddling, the grate should be put back into the closed position for
burning wood.
Fig. 2 Riddling tool
LIGHTING
Before lighting, ensure the stove is in automatic mode. 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.
In Automatic or Room Temperature modes, the stove will ensure
that the automatic maximum level 5 setting is selected for the lighting
stage and the setting that is made on the app or on the air control at
the stove itself.
There are two ways to control the fire - using the air control on the
stove (see Fig.3) or by using the app (see Fig.4) . The air control on the
stove itself allows the user access to step through the 5 intensity burn
levels of the Automatic mode, the 5 preset temperatures in Room
Temperature Mode and the 5 preset manual settings in Test Mode,
whereas the App offers intermediate settings in Room Temperature
or Test modes as well as oversight of performance data.
First, start by placing 2-3 dry, well seasoned logs into the bottom
of the firebox. On top of this build a stack of 6-8 softwood kindling
sticks. This can be in grid shape or a pyramid, be sure to leave a space
between the pieces to allow the air to circulate around and through
them. Ensure that the assembled wood is no higher than the holes
on the back bricks of the firebox and that no logs protrude over
the front fence. Place natural fire lighters or paper inside, light the
fire and close the stove door. In Room Temperature or Automatic
modes, the stove automatically ensures thorough lighting and then
transitions to the burn rate set by the user on the app or the air
control on the stove itself. The user can leave the stove unattended
during lighting if this method is used. 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. Do not build the fire too close to the glass.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE
There are two ways to control the fire - using the air control on the
stove (see Fig.3) or by using the app (see Fig.4) . The air control on
the stove itself allows the user access to step through the 5 intensity
burn levels of the Automatic mode, the 5 preset temperatures in
Room Temperature Mode and the 5 preset manual settings in
Test Mode, whereas the App offers intermediate settings in Room
Temperature or Test modes as well as oversight of performance
data. The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the
burn intensity (see Fig.3) or the mobile device app (see Fig.4)
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate
that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter
this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
Fig. 3 Stove controls
The stove has two main modes of control - Automatic and Room
Temperature Mode. In Automatic Mode there are five intensity levels
and the stove will give the most efficient and clean burn at each level
over the refuelling cycle. In Room Temperature mode, the stove
selects the most appropriate intensity level to achieve the set room
temperature. Test Mode gives the user 10 minutes where they can
vary the air control from fully closed to the maximum setting as a
normal manual stove. After this time, the stove reverts to the default
setting in Automatic mode.
The air control will endevour to burn the fuel loaded in the best way
possible and so the output will vary depending on how much fuel is
loaded.
The stove mounted air control is easily accessible and the first short
press (< 1.5 secs) will illuminate the button in a colour denoting
the current mode and at a brightness that represents the current
intensity level out of the 5 different levels available (see table above).
Subsequent short presses of the button, whilst it is illuminated, loop
through the 5 levels in the current mode. A long press (>1.5 secs)
loops through the 3 modes, maintaining the current intensity level.
An extra long press (> 5 secs) allows selection of the two emergency
modes, denoted by a flashing red light. A short press is used to
choose either red flashing light (complete air shutdown in the event
of a chimney fire) or green flashing light (nominal air setting allowing
manual operation during a power cut). A long press then selects the
chosen emergency mode and it is recommended that the power to
the stove is turned off after approximately 30 seconds, when the
air controls will have reached their appropriate setting, where they
remain until normal operation is resumed by cycling the main power.
At other times, the light on the air control can show that the door is
open (flashing red), it is time for a reload (pulsing blue) or a factory
reset has been invoked by depressing the button before and during
power up (flashing white light).
CONTROLLING THE FIRE DURING A
POWER CUT
If the power is cut, the air controls maintain their current position.
In order to ensure that a adequate combustion can be achieved until
power is restored, the dc adapter can be separated from the power
extension lead at the intermediate jack connection (between the
stove and the power outlet) and replaced with the battery holder
containing a 9V battery (not supplied). This will supply up to 30
minutes of operation, however it is recommended that it is used to
put the stove into the power cut mode described above, where the
air controls will adopt a position suited to a nominal 7kW burn. The
battery holder may then be removed and the stove used manually.
To initiate good combustion after reloading with logs it may be
necessary to crack the door open for a few minutes before closing it
and running at nominal.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE WITH THE APP
The stove can also be controlled by the Charnwood app, which
gives more refined controls and feedback to the user. This can be
downloaded from the Apple App or Google Play stores and more
details about its functions can be found on the Charnwood website.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE DEVICE
The device communicates with the stove via Bluetooth, so it is
necessary to pair the stove with the device in order to use the app.
A further option to connect the stove to your home WiFi router
enables the graphing data to be viewed on the device and also
the ability to update the stove firmware if Charnwood issue new
programs through the website.
Initial pairing is made by pressing ‘Setup Stove’. Scan the QR code
on the inner left side of the the stove store stand (torch icon helps
to illuminate the code if required). Press OK after a successful QR
scan. Rename the stove, select °C or °F and set the number of days
that the stove performance data will be retained on the device.
Press ‘Next’. Near the stove, click ‘Connect’ and press stove button
when it flashes blue, then press ‘Pair’ on the pop-up window that
appears on the device. Bluetooth icon should light blue; click ‘Next’
to complete the bluetooth pairing process. Please note that the stove
requires a 2.4GHz network and will not work over a 5GHz network.
If the WiFi capabilites are required, click ‘Yes’. Firstly, connect the
device to the same network that the stove will be connected to, then
enter the Network Name and Router Password into the app, press
‘Save’ and then ‘OK’ on the pop-up message. If successful connection
is made to the router, the WiFi icon in the top right hand side of the
screen will illuminate. Press ‘close’ and return to the Main Menu,
where the ‘Control Stove’ button will allow the user to take control.
Fig.4 Charnwood App
The orange mode slider is used to change between the 3 Modes:
Auto Mode – User defines burn intensity (1-5) once good combustion
has been established. The stove controls the air to maximise the
efficiency and minimise the emissions and once it has ensured that the
fuel is properly lit, it will burn at the rate defined by the user (1 – 5).
Room Temp Mode – User defines a a set room temperature (61 –
90F/16 – 30C) that the stove tries to achieve once good combustion
has been established. As Auto mode, except that the user defines a
set room temperature (61 – 90F/16 – 30C) that is compared to
the room temperature measured by the stove and displayed on the
App. The stove automatically adjusts the burn rate to suit the desired
room temperature.
The Overnight mode button is active when orange. In this mode, the
stove will shut down to preserve char firebed for as long as possible,
once the fire is no longer producing smoke. The stove returns to its
original mode when fuel is reloaded.
If the Alerts button is activated, the light on the stove pulses blue
when it is time to reload.
The stove title shows which stove the App is currently communicating
with.
The room temperature displayed in the top left of the screen is
actually measured at the stove, so may be slightly warmer than the
room at a distance from the stove, however the set temperature is
made in relation to this temperature, which allows the user to make
an informed choice.
The stove temperature displayed in the top right of the screen is the
firebox temperature in the stove and indicates how hot it is running.
When the door is open, an icon appears at the bottom of the screen
indicating that the door is open. The button on the stove will also
flash red.
When the fire needs refuelling, a log icon flashes in between the
overnight and alert buttons and this disappears upon refuelling.
The control screen (see Fig. 4) can be swiped left twice to reveal the
dashboard and the graphing information, The menu icon in the top
left of the screen can be used to access the Emergency Modes and
other app functions that are described on the Charnwood website.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REFUELLING
Logs should be evenly distributed and are best placed from side to
side, but not touching either side of the firebox or the glass in the
door. Logs must not be loaded above the row of holes in the back
firebricks. When loading fuel, there should be an established flame
in the firebox before the door is closed. It is best to refuel onto a
hot bed of embers and the App will notify you when this is required.
Automatic and Room Temperature Modes will keep a char firebed
active for as long as possible. It may be necessary to crack the door
open to invigorate the firebed in order to adequately light the new
fuel and if the firebed has died down too much then more kindling
wood must also be added. Once flames are established on the fuel,
larger logs can be added. This will avoid excessive smoke emission.
ASH CLEARANCE
Fig. 5 Ashpan
For optimum wood burning, it is important to leave a layer of ash
around 1cm thick on the base of the stove. Before removing ash
ensure that it has cooled down,
The ashpan is handled using the operation tool and gloves provided.
Ensure that the tool is fully engaged before lifting (See Fig.5). When
carrying the ashpan, it should be kept horizontal and supported by
the carrying handle to prevent it falling off the tool. Please avoid
emptying hot ash into plastic liners or bins.
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. Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
To make ash disposal easier there is a special ash container available
- the Charnwood ash carrier. This may be purchased from your
supplier or, in case of difficulty, from Charnwood.
OPERATING TOOL HOLDER
When not in use the operating tool can be stored inside the store
stand or on the shelf underneath the stove. (See fig. 6.)
Fig. 6 Operating tool storage
REDUCED BURNING
For reduced burning, the fire door must be closed. Automatic mode
should be selected and the burn rate set at level 1. In addition, the
overnight button on the App should be active. This will ensure that
once the fuel has thoroughly lit, it will burn steadily and slowly to
reduce smoke emissions and then maximise the time for which the
char firebed is active, before shutting down further to maintain an
active firebed for as long as possible.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
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; do not
clean the stove when it is hot. Should re-painting become necessary,
high temperature paints are available from your supplier or from
stove shops.
Cleaning the Glass
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 allow the stove to cool before opening the door; do
not clean when hot. 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.
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, select burn rate burn rate 5 on
the stove or 99 on the app, turn off power after 30 seconds and the
fire door should be left ajar. It Is also advisable to sweep the chimney
and clean out the fire. Spraying the inside of the door and metal
parts of the 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 worn or
frayed and replace them when necessary.
Servicing
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. The following
simple checks verify that the electronic control system is working.
With the app connected, check that the room temperature changes
when you hold the chrome sensor on the front of the cable tray
below the airbox. If the throat plate bricks are removed (see below),
the stove temperature sensor can be seen protruding 50mm inside
the firebox on the right hand side. The stove temperature displayed
on the device should change when the sensor is held for a minute.
With the app on the Dashboard screen, shine the light of a torch,
halogen if possible, directly into the flame sensor, in the glass lens at
the centre of the circular firebrick on the right hand side of the inside
of the firebox; over a period of a minute, the flame intensity indicator
should increase. Finally, switch the stove off and back on again,
listening for the hum of the motors calibrating and verifying that no
error message appears in the app. Check that the door seals are in
good condition and that the door seals correctly. A servicing guide
is available on request. If glass replacement is required, it should be
fitted in accordance with TIS. 145. Repairs or modifications may only
be carried out by the Manufacturer or their approved agents. Use
only genuine Charnwood replacement parts.
USE ONLY GENUINE CHARNWOOD REPLACEMENT
PARTS, DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR
REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.
The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of
a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the
flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least
once every two months during the heating season to determine if a
creosote build up has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated (3mm, (1/8in.) or more) it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing technique.
Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often
you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the
less creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary
in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough in
the coldest months. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire
authority for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a
clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire - see Emergency
Modes description.
THROAT PLATE AND FLUEWAY CLEANING
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 throat plate is made up of two bricks and a bracket that slides
over the front that holds the two bricks together.
To remove the throat plate, first carefully remove the joining bracket
at the front of the throat plate and then lift the two pieces down from
the top of the stove. Sweep any sooty deposits from the top of the
throat plate into the fire.
Lift out the upper throat plate and clean any deposits, then re-fit it as
shown in figure 7. If the rear flue connection is used then the upper
throat plate is not required.
To re-fit the lower throat plate, fit each half so that it rests on the side

and back brick, then, making sure the two halves are fitted closely
together, slide the joining clip back onto the front edge, making sure
that it is central on the join.The upper throat plate is positioned on
top of the air wash tubes and is located with studs into the two holes
on the bracket attached to the air wash manifold.
Fig. 7. Throat Plate Location
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
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
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. Be careful not
to damage the stove temperature sensor that protrudes 50mm into
the right hand side of the firebox above the lower brick throat plate,
when sweeping the chimney.
First remove the fuel retainer, throat plate and upper baffle. 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 upper baffle,
the throat plate (see Fig. 7) and the fuel retainer.
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.
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 stove.
f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney. Once the chimney is warm
a draught reading of at least 1.25 mm (0.05 in.) water gauge (12Pa)
should be obtained.
g) The power to the stove control unit is turned on and plugged
in. Check that the App can connect and receive stove and room
temperatures, indicating that the control unit has power.
Blackening of Door Glass
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, provide sufficient kindling wood
to adequately light the logs.
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. Do not
stanck wood above the level of the tertiary air holes in the back
firebox bricks.
d) Do not completely close the air control (dial at 0) when burning
in Test mode.
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 1.25 mm
(0.05 in.) water gauge (12Pa) 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.
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.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney
blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean.
Fire blazing out of control
Check that:
a) The door is tightly closed.
b) The control unit is working by putting it into Test mode and
adjusting the burn level to 0.
c) A suitable fuel is being used.
d) Door seals and airwash slide are intact.
e) The control unit is plugged in, turned on and that the device is
connected and there are no error messages displayed.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires
should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur tightly close
the stove door, then press and hold the air control until a flashing
red light appears. Release the air control and press again until the
light goes out and the motors close all the air controls. Disconnect
the power supply to the stove. Leave the stove until the fire 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.
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.
IF YOU NEED FURTHER HELP
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.

UNPACKING THE STOVE
The stove arrives bolted and strapped 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
removing 4 pallet bolts 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. The pallet is intended to be cut up and
used for kindling fuel. Replace the bolts to be used for levelling the
stove.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please take care when installing the stove that the requirements of
the health and safety at work are met.
All aspects of the installation must conform to NFPA 211
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.
If room air is used for combustion, then there should 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.
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
5.0m³/(h.m²), but in some modern properties it may be less.
The vent must be positioned such that it is not liable to blockage.
Minimium areas are given in the following table:
A fixed ducted air supply may be used as an alternative to the
traditional method of using a permanent open vent into a room to
supply air for combustion.
External air supply kits are available please contact Charnwood for
more information.
This stove is capable of intermittent operation, and is not suitable for
use in a shared flue system.
CO AND SMOKE 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 and smoke alarm must be fitted in the same room
as the appliance. 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
The stove must be connected to a code-approved masonry chimney
with a flue liner, to a relined masonry chimney that meets local
codes, or to a prefabricated metal chimney that complies with the
requirements for Type HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys
Factory-Built, Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance,
UL 103, or High Temperature (650°C) Standard ULC S-629 for
Canada. In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily the
chimney height must not be less than 13’ (4 metres) measured
vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney.
The minimum internal chimney size is 6 inches diameter(150mm) or
6”x6”(150mm x 150mm).
The chimney must extend at least 3’ (914mm) above the highest
point where it passes through a roof, and at least 2’ (610mm) higher
than any portion of a building within 10’ (3m)
DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING
ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
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. Your local building
inspector, professional chimney sweep or fire department official will
be able to inspect the chimney, or refer you to someone who can.
If the chimney is in poor condition then 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 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 draft
stabilizer should be fitted.
It is important that there is sufficient draw in the chimney and that
the chimney does not suffer from down-draft. When the chimney is
warm the draw should be not less than 1.25mm (0.05”) water gauge
(12 Pa). If in doubt about the chimney seek expert advice.
HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND
Fig. 8. Floor Protector - USA
Fig. 9. Floor Protector - Canada
The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth or a non combustible
floor protector must be used. The floor protector must be of non
combustible material such as 24 gauge sheet metal or equivalent.
If carpeting is present, it must be removed before installation of
the floor protector. The floor protector may be covered with a
noncombustible decorative material if desired. When using brick, tile
or stone, individual pieces must be joined by mortar so sparks cannot
fall through. When the fire door is open, it extends beyond the flat
front of the stove by 19”
In the United States, the floor protector (see Fig. 8.) must extend at
least 16” from of the stove front and at least 6” from sides and rear.
To meet the requirement in the United States, a floor protector must
be at least 34” wide and 40” deep (R>=1.00).
In Canada, the floor protector (see Fig. 9) must extend 18”(460mm)
to the front, and 8” (203 mm) from the sides and rear. To meet
Canadian requirements, a floor protector must be at least 38” (965
mm) wide and 44” (1118 mm) deep (R>=1.00).
For Rear Flue Connection, floor protection also must extend under
the chimney connector and 2” (51 mm) to either side. For the 6”
(150 mm) connector used with the Skye E700, the protector must
be a minimum of 10” (254 mm) wide, central under the connector.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

15
®
The stove must be installed with minimum clearances from
combustible materials shown in Fig 10.
Fig. 10. Clearances from combustible materials
For the reduced clearances shown above, double wall flue pipe must
be fitted directly to the top of the stove and a heat shield, Part No.
005/AU081 fitted to the rear of the stove. A spacer is also required
to attach the optional vertical rear flue connector to the Skye E700
Part no. 010/AU021.
Fig. 11. Clearances from wooden fire surrounds
If a wooden mantelpiece or beam is used in the fireplace it should
be a minimum of 25 inches (635mm) from the appliance. In some
situations it may be necessary to shield the beam or mantelpiece to
protect it. Shielding must be of non combustible material spaced off
the beam by at least ½ in (12mm) on non combustible spacers.
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 6 inches (150mm)
each side and 12 inches (300mm) above the appliance from non
combustible materials should give sufficient air circulation.
When the fire door is open, it extends beyond the front of the stove
by 19 inches.
In order for the fire to operate correctly there must be an air gap
behind the appliance of at least 1.9”(50mm), but be aware that
this distance will need to be greater in some cases to meet Building
Regulation requirements.

CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS
A Chimney Connector is the double-wall or single-wall pipe that
connects the stove to the chimney and must be in good condition
and kept clean.
Double-wall chimney connectors must be tested and listed for use
with solid-fuel burning appliances. Single-wall chimney connectors
should be made of 24 gauge or heavier steel, and should be 6”
(150mm) in diameter. Do not use a galvanized connector; it cannot
withstand the high temperatures that can be reached by smoke and
gases, and may release toxic fumes under high heat.
A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space,
closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling. The chimney
connector must be securely connected to the stove as must all the
adjoining sections
Where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/
CAS-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment in Canada or to the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) in the United States.
There are several ways of connecting the stove to the flue. These are
illustrated in figures 14 to 17.
If the vertical rear flue connector or the top flue connection is used,
then the chimney may be swept through the appliance.
A spacer is required to attach the optional vertical rear flue connector
to the Skye E700.
The stove comes with the blanking plate fitted to the top flue outlet.
The seal for the top outlet is a 7”(180mm) dia ring of rope seal. The
seal for the rear 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. Ensure that
the fold on the clamping plate is in line with the lugs on the firebox and
that no edges of the clamping plate touch the blanking plate as shown
in Fig.16 and that there is clearance between the clamping plate and
the blanking plate all along its length. Ensure that the clamping plate
does not prevent the throat plate from seating correctly.
The stove comes with the blanking plate (fig. 18) fitted to the rear
flue outlet. The seal for the top outlet is a 155mm dia ring of rope
seal. The seal for the rear outlet is a length of adhesive backed
fibre webbing supplied with instructions ref: TIS093. This is applied
to the flue collar or the Vertical Rear Flue adapter for rear outlet
installations. The three screw holes in the cast top should be filled
with fire cement if the rear outlet is used. 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. Ensure that the fold on
the clamping plate is in line with the lugs on the firebox and that no
edges of the clamping plate touch the blanking plate as shown in Fig
18. Ensure that the clamping plate does not prevent the throat plate
from seating correctly. All flue connections must be well sealed. The
top outlet connection is made directly to the cast top, the Skye is
supplied with a flue collar for rear outlet installations.

Electronic Component Removal
The air control assembly containing most of the electronics is
easily removed, by removing the cable tray, unplugging the seven
cables from the front, then loosening the bolts on either side of the
assembly, before sliding it forwards and lowering it away from the
stove.
The cover can then be removed by removing the four nuts holding it
on and lifting it up, rear first. The front fascia can be unclipped from
the board and the three daughter boards can be unplugged from
the mother board, then the mother board can be carefully prised
away from its mount at each corner and the daughter boards can be
removed from the air control disks.
The remaining electronics on the stove consist of the button, which
can be removed from the stove in its plastic moulding via the two nuts
on the reverse of the lower front casting, the door switch, accessed
by removing the lower casting and the room and stove temperature
sensors and flame sensor, which can be accessed by removing the
right hand panel of the stove.
