4.0 Important Safety Information
4.1. WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
4.1.1. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION!
These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure satisfactory installation of the stove,
although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the
installation must comply with current local regulations including Building Regulations, Local
Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations including UK or EU standards referred to
as they affect the installation of the stove. Approved Document J is particularly important for
England and Wales and can be downloaded for no cost at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/combustion-appliances-and-fuel-storage-systems-
approved-document-j Also of importance are Approved Documents (A.D.) L1 A and B conservation
of fuel and power. The Domestic Heating Compliance Guide will also be found useful.
In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS 8303 and BS EN 15287 must be fulfilled.
The installation of a stove is a notifiable building works as defined in the building regulations and
it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the installation is
either carried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or is installed by a Competent
Person registered with a Government approved Competent Persons Scheme, e.g. HETAS or OFTEC
amongst others.
4.1.2. Important Chimney Warning
This stove must not be installed into a shared chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
4.1.3. Extractor Fan Warning
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove
to emit fumes into the room. If unavoidable the appliance must be checked for spillage in operation
with the fan running. Approved Document (A.D.) 1.21 refers. Take any necessary remedial action.
4.1.4. Cleaning and Chimney Sweeping
The appliance, flue & chimney must be cleaned and checked internally and externally regularly in
use and especially after a period of disuse (e.g. after summer). Lift down the baffle at least weekly
to check for build up of soot or debris on the top from the flue pipe. Remove the baffle and check
the flue spigot and connector is fully clear at regular intervals. The chimney and flue connector must
be swept at least annually, more often when used with sooty fuels or damp wood. The chimney or
flue can usually be swept through the appliance. A wire centred sweeps brush with guide wheel is
recommended. Any loose, broken or leaking joints or flue ways MUST be repaired immediately.

7Purevision LPV Freestanding Issue 01 02/21
4.1.5. Fuels
Only use recommended fuels which is dry, well seasoned (or kiln dried) wood logs. The appliance
can be damaged by burning petroleum coke, liquid fuels or general rubbish and this will invalidate
your warranty and risk your personal safety. The appliance must not be used as a rubbish
incinerator.
4.1.6. Maintenance
Annual checking and servicing of the appliance and flue by a competent engineer is recommended.
4.1.7. Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is ESSENTIAL for the safe and efficient operation of any solid fuel or wood
burning appliance. Ventilation MUST be provided where required by the stove output or flue under-
performance. Keep all ventilation clear and free of blockage, including the direct outside air
connection where used. See VENTILATION in INSTALLATION INFORMATION section.
4.2. Health And Safety Precautions
Special care must be taken when installing this stove to meet all requirements of the Health &
Safety at Work act.
4.2.1. Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for unloading and site handling. Stoves are very heavily built so
always ask for assistance when lifting and siting them. See Technical Data for weights.
4.2.2. Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin.
In case of skin contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.
4.2.3. Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
4.2.4. Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove, proper care should be taken to avoid the possibility of
personal injury. Injury may be caused by component weight, sharp parts or trapping for example and
these risks should be identified and minimised.
5.0 Installation Information
5.1. Chimney/flue
The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to Building
Regulations. Minimum chimney height is 4.5m and the recommended minimum diameter is
150mm wherever possible for safety margin and performance. The chimney must be swept before
connection to the stove. Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry and free from cracks and
obstructions. The diameter of the flue should not be less than 125mm (spigot diameter) at any point
and not greater than 200mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined
by a suitable method. When using a liner, a 6” diameter is strongly recommended where it can be
used but failing that a 5” flexible flue liner is permitted be used for Purevision stoves providing that
the users only burns smokeless fuel or seasoned wood logs with the air limiter fitted in in full
accordance with the wood burning instructions.

8Purevision LPV Freestanding Issue 01 02/21
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible that
the higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that were previously firmly
adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney
be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer/stockist or
chimney specialist. If there is no existing chimney then either a solid fuel compatible prefabricated
block chimney or a twin-walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys
must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.
5.2. Ventilation
Document J of the Building Regulations states that purpose provided ventilation is not required in
the majority of houses in England and Wales unless the appliance nominal rated output is greater
than 5kW. Over 5kW 5.5 cm2of ventilation (550mm2) is required for every kW output above 5. For
example 6.5 kW requires 8.25 cm2and 8 kW needs 16.5cm2. In any case, if difficulty in starting the
fire or any excessive fuming is experienced, ventilation must be put in place as required to eliminate
these flue problems. If a flue draught stabiliser is fitted then extra ventilation is required. See
Document J of the Building Regulations for detailed guidance especially in new build properties. A
specifically designed direct outside air connection may be used with these stoves to provide 100% of
the required combustion air to appropriate levels of ventilation (significantly in excess of the above
requirements) directly to the stove and chimney as follows. NOTE: in order to register the
installation with HETAS as of early 2016 certain extra evaluation and checking is required if using an
outside air connection. If the direct air kit is used and no ADJ vent is installed then a direct
registration with Building Control may also be possible.
5.3. Direct Outside Air Connection
Purevision stoves are supplied with the facility of using a dedicated 100mm diameter direct
connection duct through a suitable route to the outside air. This will supply 100% of the air required
for combustion and operation of the flue. It can be connected to the rear or underside of the stove
and should be fitted at the time of stove installation. Only the approved kit for Purevision stoves
should be used. This is designed to supply all the necessary air for safe combustion and operation of
the stove –providing there is no depressurisation of the property by mechanical or other types of
ventilation, the flue, chimney and ventilation duct are working correctly, and properly maintained
clear of obstructions or leaks etc. The kit supplies all the primary, secondary and tertiary air to the
stove and also provides room ventilation in excess of the Document J Building Regulations during re-
fuelling via the air connection unit under the stove and so subject to no depressurisation (as above)
may be used where mechanical ventilation and heat recovery (MVHR) units are used. Some
additional instructions for installation are provided with the dedicated kit supplied. NOTE: in order
to register the installation with HETAS as of 2016 certain extra evaluation and checking is required if
using an outside air connection. If the direct air kit is used and no ADJ vent is installed then a direct
registration with Building Control may also be possible.
5.4. Flue Draught
A flue draught at the flue collar of minimum 2.2mm to a maximum 3.5mm water gauge (22 to 35
Pascals) is required for satisfactory appliance performance. This relates to 12-25 Pascals at the
tapping on EN13240/13229 test rigs. The flue draught should be checked under fire at high output
and, if it exceeds the recommended maximum, a draught stabiliser should be fitted so that the rate
of burning can be controlled to prevent over-firing.
5.5. Connection to the Chimney
This appliance is not suitable for use in a shared flue.

9Purevision LPV Freestanding Issue 01 02/21
Whilst 150mm diameter flue or liner is recommended wherever possible, a suitable 5” flexible flue
liner is permitted be used on Purevision stoves providing that they only burn smokeless fuel or
seasoned wood logs with the air limiter fitted in in full accordance with the wood burning
instructions.
An existing fireplace opening can be bricked up or sealed with a register plate. A short length of
suitable quality rigid flue pipe of a minimum 125mm internal diameter may then be used to connect
the stove to the chimney. A maximum of 150mm horizontal flue pipe can be used unless flue
calculations are carried out to allow for a greater length. This flue pipe should conform to Building
Regulations. If the connecting pipe enters the vertical flue way at any other angle except vertically,
ensure that the pipe end is no closer (along the direction of the pipe) than 76mm to the side or rear
chimney walls. Ideally, the old fireplace should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamlined
entry into the flue way. It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney-flue are
sealed and made airtight with sealing rope, clamping rings and/or fire cement or heat resisting
cement where required.
Both the chimney and flue pipe must be accessible for cleaning and if ANY parts of the chimney
cannot be reached through the stove (with baffle removed), a soot door must be fitted in a suitable
position to enable this to be done.

In addition, it is strongly recommended that any furniture or other combustible materials are kept at
least 900mm clear from the front of the stove.
NOTE: Combustible surfaces can be protected from radiant heat from the stove by adding non-
combustible heat shielding between the stove and the combustible materials with an air gap behind
it. By doing so, safe distances may be substantially reduced in practice. BS 8303 Installation of
Domestic Heating and Cooking Appliances burning Solid Fuel explains various ways of shielding
combustible materials from the heat produced by stoves.

10 Purevision LPV Freestanding Issue 01 02/21
COMBUSTIBLE SHELVES AND BEAMS
Due to the fact that combustible shelves, timber fireplaces and beams have potentially thousands of
possible configurations in conjunction with stoves outset or inserted partially or fully into chambers,
it is not possible to give firm guidance on dimensions to these features. As a guideline, materials that
are in ‘line of sight’ to the stove are more likely to overheat due to direct radiation from the stove
body than materials that are not in ‘line of sight’ (e.g. with stove fully inside a chamber). Materials
above the stove are far more likely to overheat than materials alongside or below. A guideline
limiting temperature for solid timber (not surface finishes) is approximately 80-85 degrees C with a
normal ambient room temperature. Temperatures of combustible materials can be substantially
lowered with a simple heat shield constructed of a non-combustible material and small air gap (6-
12mm for example) between the shield and combustible material.
5.6.2. Distances from NON-combustible materials:
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized non-combustible fireplace but a permanent free air gap
of at least 50mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50mm at the back of the stove
to obtain reasonable heat output and for access to the stove for removal and maintenance. A
clearance of 150mm will give a better heat output
In accordance with Building regulations all non-combustible walls closer than 400mm to the stove
should be at least 75mm thick. For practical reasons the back wall of the fireplace recess and the
hearth should be made of non-combustible material.
5.7. Hearths:
Purevision freestanding stoves do not require a constructional hearth beneath them as they do not
cause the floor temperature to exceed 100 degrees C. Hearths must be generally level. In all
instances a non-combustible superimposed hearth extending fully underneath the stove and
forming an apron of at least 225mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either side must be
provided. The superimposed hearth must not be less than 12mm thick and must have a clearly
defined edge (change of level) to discourage placing of any combustible materials on or partially
over it.
The appliance shall be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. If the existing
construction does not meet this requirement, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) should
be provided to achieve it.
5.8. Accessories
Purevision stoves are provided with a selection of accessories including stands, log store stands, and
a dedicated outside air kit. Only use genuine Purevision accessories.
5.9. Commissioning and Handover
CO Alarm: Building Regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or
wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the
same room as the appliance. Further guidance is available in BS EN50292:2002 and from the alarm
manufacturer’s instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either
installing the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and
chimney system.
Upon completion of the installation, allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar
to dry out. A small fire may then be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from
the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere.

11 Purevision LPV Freestanding Issue 01 02/21
Advise the customer not to run the stove at full output for at 3 –4 days. Explain that the stoves can
provide much more or less output than their rated heat outputs depending upon fuels, fuel loads
used and how they are operated.
Warn the customer that using excessive air (having the air controls open too wide for too long)
can over-fire and irreparably damage the stove. Damage caused by over firing is NOT covered by
any warranty.
On completion of the installation and commissioning, check all parts of the appliance are correctly
fitted and ensure that the operating instructions and operating tools (including gloves) for the stove
are left with the customer. You must be sure to advise the customer on the correct use of the
appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to use only the recommended
fuels for the stove.
Advise the user on what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted into the room from the stove –see
Safety Notes section. The user should be warned that they MUST use a suitable fireguard in the
presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

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

7.2 Warnings:
This appliance is not designed for open operation and therefore should not be operated with the
doors open.
This stove is designed to burn wood and smokeless fuels cleanly with high efficiency. However, for
this product to work properly it must be used correctly. If used correctly this stove will burn with the
very useful feature of clean glass.
It is essential that the stove has an adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation. DO NOT
block any ventilators provided. The primary, secondary and tertiary air inlets must be kept clear of
obstruction.
Warning! This appliance will be very hot when in operation and due care should be taken when
operating the controls. A tool and pair of quality leather gloves are provided to assist safe operation.
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
7.3 The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the
authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building,
from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an
offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an
"exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control
area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance
with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation
Act 2015. Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers
under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. In Wales and Northern Ireland these
are authorised by regulations made by Welsh Ministers and by the Department of the Environment
respectively.
The Purevision LPV 5, 5kW and LPV 8, 8kW stoves have been recommended as suitable for use in
smoke control areas when burning wood logs. This is conditional upon fitting the supplied secondary
air control limiters and following the wood burning instructions precisely. Suitable Authorised fuels
can also be used in the appliances in Smoke Control Areas (see Authorised fuel list
https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php )
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:
http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/. Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean
Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them
for details of Clean Air Act requirements.

7.4 Air Controls
Keep air controls and inlets/outlets clean and free from ash or debris at all times. Keep direct
outside air inlet grille (if fitted) clean and clear at all times.
Do not leave air control fully open unless monitoring the fire as over firing damage can result
which is not covered by any warranty.
7.4.1 Single Air Control Operation
Primary (behind fuel), secondary (air wash) and tertiary air is automatically controlled by the single
control lever at the bottom, underneath the stove door. The IN position is the OFF position and
closes off combustion air to the firebox. The off position should only be used if absolutely necessary
for very slow burning and when burning wood will cause the glass to become blackened, the
chimney to gradually become tarred and smoke to be emitted from the stove.
Wood burning: Move the lever fully OUT for maximum air to start or revive a wood fire. Returning
the lever towards the IN position will reduce the air supply progressively to reduce the burn rate.
The nominal burn rate is usually achieved when the stove is fully warmed up (2-3 loads of logs) and
burning dry hardwood logs by having the lever very approximately 18-20mm from the IN position.
This is only a rough guide as flue and fuel conditions will vary the required position. The fire will
automatically be supplied with the correct mix of secondary and tertiary air for complete
combustion. The maximum OUT position conveniently provides a boost of primary air as well to get
new fuel burning quickly in order to minimise smoke. Do not leave on maximum setting unless
monitoring the fire to ensure over firing damage does not occur.
7.4.2 Air Wash
All Fireline stoves are provided with a sophisticated “air wash” system to assist in keeping the fire as
visible as possible and reducing cleaning intervals. This secondary air supply to the stove is
controlled through the main single air control. The Clean Air Act air restrictor bracket will
deliberately prevent full closure of this control.
7.4.3 Tertiary Air
This appliance is also fitted with a patented tertiary air combustion system that burns otherwise
uncombusted gasses in the products of combustion thereby improving efficiency, increasing heat
output and decreasing unwanted atmospheric emissions. The Tertiary air supply to the stove is
controlled automatically by the draught in the flue and firebox and the single air control. At certain
stages of burning you will notice “jets” of swirling flame emerging near the air holes to the rear of
the firebox.

16 Purevision LPV Freestanding Issue 01 02/21
7.4.4 Ceramic Base
Your stove is fitted with a ceramic base for efficient burning of wood. A quantity of ash will need
removing before each burn but the base does not need to be completely cleared and in fact a build
up of wood ash when burning wood will not harm the stove and wood may burn better on thin bed
of ash. Excessive wood ash build up is not recommended and will affect ease of operation and
increase smoke emissions if allowed to build up too thickly.
7.5 Cleaning
Glass: Despite the advanced air wash system provided, the glass will still need cleaning from time to
time depending on the fuel quality and burning rates used. Never clean glass when the stove is hot.
Use stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner, which is available from your stove retailer or
supermarket. As an alternative, use a wet cloth with some of the wood ash if burning wood but be
very careful to use very clean ash so as not to scratch the glass. DO NOT use coal ash to clean the
glass.
Outer body: The outer body simply needs to be dusted or wiped with a clean dry cloth from time to
time. DO NOT use any kind of wet cloth, furniture polish or cleaning agent. Do not paint with
anything other than your stove suppliers recommended paint or paint specifically for stoves.
Inner firebox: Brush the inside of the firebox clean from time to time to check the integrity of the
plates and liners etc. Check the two primary air holes in the lower firebox back panel are kept clear
of ash. See Maintenance Guide section for instructions on how to remove parts of the stove. It is not
normally necessary to re-paint inside the firebox due to the high temperatures that mean that the
paint does not have much effect before being burnt off. Steel and high-quality cast ceramic liners are
very resilient firebox materials and will give reliable service without major cleaning or work on the
firebox. The ceramic liner boards are very durable but may require replacement from time to time
depending upon fuels and the type of usage experienced. Firebox linings are not covered by
warranty, as they are a wearing consumable part. Cracks less than 6mm (1/4”) or where the steel
underneath is not visible are not critical and operation can continue as normal.
Baffle: It is essential to check the top of the baffle for build up of soot and ash regularly when in use
and after a long period of disuse –e.g. summer. From time to time remove the baffle if necessary to
ensure that the flue way entrance is clear. Remove any fixings in the front brackets and lift the front
edge of the baffle upwards and forwards to slide the rear edge off its support. Lower the rear edge
and then slide the baffle off its front supports to leave it free for removal. See maintenance section
for further details.
Air Supply: It is essential to check the air supply grille on the outside of the property if the direct
outside air connection is installed. Regularly brush or vacuum out any debris, cobwebs or similar
materials to ensure that the air supply is not restricted. Ensure the air intake chamber visible
underneath the ash pit section with the stove door open is kept free of excessive ash or debris.
7.6 Fuels
The appliance is fitted with a woodburning base and the appliance has been tested and approved
burning dry, well-seasoned logs. This is the only recommended fuel. For other fuels please contact
the manufacturer for advice.
Note: Warning!- Petroleum coke fuels or household waste must not be burnt on this appliance.
Should any difficulties arise over fuel quality or suitability, consult your local approved fuel
merchant.

7.7 Important Information for Wood Burning
With a full load of wood and burning near nominal output the stove will need to be refuelled
approximately every 1-1.5 hours. One or two large logs will burn longer than a number of smaller
ones. Wood can usually be stacked higher in the stove than solid mineral fuel but care must be taken
that logs do not touch the baffle or the glass panels. Do not stack logs above the level of the tertiary
air inlet profiling in the rear ceramic firebox liners at the back of the stove.
Always make sure that flames are visible above the wood after re-fuelling for cleanest burning.
Burning without flames above the fuel will create unnecessary smoke. After re-fuelling open the
single air control fully OUT for 3 minutes or until the logs are fully blackened to achieve full flames
above the fuel.
Wood burns best on a bed of ash and it is therefore only necessary to remove surplus ash from the
stove occasionally to maintain a practical burning level and the rear air intake holes clear.
Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood, which should have been cut, split and stacked - under cover
from rain - for at least 12-24 months with free air movement around the sides of the stack to enable
it to dry out. Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create tar deposits in the stove and chimney and
will not produce a satisfactory heat output. Wood that is not properly dry (‘dry’ is considered to be
less than 20% internal moisture content) uses up energy from the burn process to evaporate the
water inside the wood thus creating very poor conditions for combustion. The main cause of
burning problems with wood stoves is due to excessively damp wood. Wood can appear perfectly
dry on the outside but still contain 40-50% water on the inside. A moisture meter can be purchased
from stove and equipment suppliers if you wish to check your wood source is correct. Split a log and
check the inside as well as the outside.
7.7.1 Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and
ash so that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the
fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
7.7.2 Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause excess smoke. Never load fuel above the bottom edge of the tertiary air profiling in the back
ceramic firebox liner or allow them to touch the glass. All models max log diameter = approx.
150mm. Max length = 320mm for 5kW, 550mm for 8kW models. One log is acceptable ONLY if
loading onto a hot well established fire bed.
7.7.3 Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke and spillage into the room. The appliance
must not be operated with the appliance door left open.

7.8 Lighting the Stove
We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its
maximum heat output. This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and to give a long service life of
the paint finish. During this curing in process, you may notice an unpleasant smell whilst the finishes
finally cure. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort we would suggest that during this period you leave
all doors and windows open.
First, open the single air control fully to the left side. Load the firebox with four (six or eight for the
larger LPV8 model) fully dry small-medium logs in a crossed pattern.
Next add plenty of dry kindling sticks and a firelighter ON TOP of the 4 logs as shown. A crib lattice
pattern tends to work well. Remove the end section of the active baffle operating rod (shown in red
below - if fitted) to allow the baffle to remain in the Open IGNITION position during lighting.
Now light the firelighter(s), leaving the air control fully open and close the door. It will not always be
necessary to leave the door open but DO NOT leave the
stove unattended if you find it necessary to leave the door
ajar.
The kindling will burn and set light to the logs by radiation
and breaking down to charcoal gradually and with fewer
emissions than the traditional logs on top methods.

19 Purevision LPV Freestanding Issue 01 02/21
Allow the fuel to reach a steady burn and sometimes the initial fuel can be left to burn down to
charcoal without much further attention. Build the fire up carefully by adding a couple of small split
logs at a time. Do not overload the fire bed with a very big log or more than two logs at a time.
Once you have a good fire bed established across the
firebox, further fuel can be added step by step as
required. Don’t be tempted to overload the fire bed
with fuel all at once or close down the air controls
until the fire is really well established for some time.
Once the ignition period is well under way, close the
active baffle operating rod by re-fitting the end
section of the rod. Gradually reduce the air control
opening to establish the burning intensity you
require.
7.9 Re-fuelling
The fire will begin to die down with a significant amount of white ash showing amongst the fuel - the
fire will die down as the fuel is consumed. When the flames disappear and the remainder is breaking
down into glowing embers it is an appropriate time to consider re-fuelling. NOTE: If the flames
disappear and there are still lumps of solid wood left this indicates excessive internal moisture in the
wood or insufficient air supply or flue draught –use drier logs, more than one log at a time or adapt
the burning technique to burn hotter.
NOTE: To eliminate unwanted smoke emission, after loading new logs on to the fire, open the air
wash control up fully for 3 minutes or until the logs are blackened all over to boost the fire and get
flames issuing from the top of the fuel as soon as possible. When flames are well established, reduce
the air wash to the running setting required. Burning without flames above the fuel will create
unnecessary smoke. Do not load fuel above the tertiary air inlet hole profiling at the back of the
firebox.
Loading 1 or 2 large sized logs at a time weighing 1-2kg DRY will produce a good output with
reasonable burn time. Small logs will burn up quickly producing a high output and more emissions
for a short time, and a large log will take longer to burn and produce less output and less emissions
over a given time unless it will not burn with flames above it. These appliances are approved for
intermittent operation on wood (0.75 to 1.5 hour burn cycles) although longer burn times can be
achieved by fully loading the firebox, getting the fuel burning well and then shutting the air control
right down (see below). The fire will then need reviving by first opening the air controls and then
using small pieces of wood and plenty of air to get flames issuing from the wood again. Never load
fuel above the rear firebox tertiary air profiling or allow it to spill onto the glass.
7.10 Shutting Down
The stove will normally shut down by itself as the fuel is consumed so there is no need to close the
air control towards the end of the burn. In order to shut down the stove for other reasons, close the
single air control to the central position. If the control is left in this position, the fire will eventually
go out but it will also cause the glass to blacken. If you want to revive the fire it is recommended
that the air control is opened fully initially.
Warning! - The stove will remain very hot for a considerable time after the fire has died down or
been extinguished.
