1.4. Operating principle
The appliance is designed for operating only with the
door closed.
Heat is mainly diffused by radiation, through the window
and body of the appliance. Combustion occurs on the
grate, with draught entry through the top of the grate,
which assists the combustion of volatile materials
helping to keep the glass clean during normal
operation.

2. Installation instructions
2.1. Warning to the user
All the local and national regulation, in particular
those which refer to national and European
standards, must be respected for the installation of
the stove.
This stove is not an incinerator.
An incorrectly installed heating appliance can cause
serious accidents (chimney fires, burning of plastic
insulation materials, in partition walls, etc.).
The installation must comply with Current Building
Regulations. If in doubt, consult your Dealer or local
Building Inspector.
It is the installer’s responsibility to conform to local
building standards and requirements with regard to
installation.
The manufacturer’s responsibility shall be limited to the
supply of the equipment.
2.2. Location of the unit
Ventilation
For satisfactory operation with a natural draught, check
that sufficient air for combustion is available in the
room.
In houses equipped with mechanical ventilation, an
outside air intake must be installed for the chimney.
Position of the unit
For new chimney installations, select a central position
within the building, to provide a good heat distribution
around the building.
The heat distribution towards the other rooms will be
made through the communicating doors. These rooms
must be in negative pressure or must include ventilation
gratings.
Floor and walls
Make sure there are not combustible or covered with
combustible material.
Otherwise it must necessary to install a
non-combustible protection.
There must be a clearance of at least 150 mm at each
side of the appliance and at the back of the appliance
from a non-combustible wall.
This distance must be extended to a minimum
clearance of 400 mm from any combustible materials.
This measurement may be reduced to a minimum gap
of 50 mm when the non-combustible wall is at least 200
mm thick.
There should ideally be a minimum gap of 300 mm at
the right hand side of the stove, this will ensure the best
possible access to the loading door.
When using a single wall flue pipe, there must be a
clearance (A) of at least three times its diameter (B)
from any combustible materials.
If the appliance has to be located in an opening, this
distance must be extended to a minimum clearance (A)
of 450 mm from the pipe or the stove body to any
combustible materials.

Figure 2 - Minimum clearances

Hearth
The appliance must stand on a fireproof hearth.
The hearth must be made of non-combustible material
of thickness 125 mm minimum (C). This may include the
thickness of a non-combustible floor.
The hearth must protrude at least 400 mm in front of the
stove and 150 mm each side.
If the hearth is constructed on timber, there must be a
clearance of at least 250 mm from the timber to the top
surface of the hearth.
When using a single wall flue pipe, there must be a
clearance (A) of at least 450 mm from any combustible
materials (timber mantel, girder).
2.3. Chimney
The chimney must comply with Current Building
Regulations. If in doubt, consult your Dealer or local
Building Inspector.
Existing flue
The flue must be suitable for the installation of fuel
burning appliances, otherwise it must necessary to
install a tubing.
The flue must be in good condition and must provide
sufficient draught. (refer to technical details p. ).
The flue must be clean. It should be swept to remove
soot and dislodge tar deposits.
The flue must be well insulated. If the flue inner wall
surfaces are cold, a good thermal draw is impossible
causing condensation problems (tar formation etc) to
occur.
The flue must be watertight.
The chimney must have a constant cross section.
The flue must not be shared with any other appliance.
The chimney must be at least 4.5 m (15 ft high).
In case of a flat roof or when the roof gradient is lower
than 15°, the stack must be 1,2 m (4 feet) high at least.
The capping must not restrain the draught.
If the chimney has any downdraught tendency, due to
its position in relation to nearby obstacles, an
anti-downdraught cowl must be installed on the
chimney or the chimney height must be increased.
If the chimney draught is excessive or irregular, a
draught stabiliser (barometric damper) must be
installed to the connector pipe.
The spigot should be connected to a minimum of
125 mm flue system and in that case the appliance
is capable of burning untreated wood and
recommended solid fuels.
Chimney to be built / Flue non-existent
The chimney must comply with Current Building
Regulations. If in doubt, consult your Dealer or local
Building Inspector.
The appliance must not support the weight of the flue.
Consult a chimney specialist for advice on suitable flue
systems for solid fuel appliances.
It must be distant from any combustible material (walls,
cross members)
It must permit an easy sweeping.

3. Instructions for user
All the local and national regulation, in particular
those which refer to national and European
standards, must be respected for used the stove.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for damages
on parts of the appliance due to the use of prohibited
fuel or due to an alteration of the appliance or its
installation.
3.1. Fuel
Recommended fuel :Wood
- Use hard wood logs, which have been cut for at least
two years and stored, under shelter.
- Hardwood has a higher calorific value per cu metre
(oak, ash, maple, birch, elm, beech, etc.).
- Large logs must be split and cut to a usable length,
before being stored in a sheltered and ventilated place.
Recommended fuel : Coal
Smokeless fuels, including coolite nuts, phurnacite,
ancit and extracite.
Not recommended as fuel :
- “green wood”. Green or damp wood reduces stove
efficiency and soils the glass, the internal walls and the
flue (soot, tar, etc.).
- “used timbers”. Burning treated wood (railway
sleepers, telegraph poles, offcuts of plywood or chip
board, pallets, etc.) quickly clogs the flue ways (soot,
tar, etc.), pollutes the environment (pollution and smell,
etc.) and cause the fire to burn too quickly and
overheat.
“Green wood” and “recovered wood” can eventually
cause a chimney fire.
Prohibited fuel : Homefire and any form of bituminous
coal or petroleum based coke.
3.2. Instructions for use with wood
3.2.1. Lighting
Figure 7
•Slide the top air control (# B1) to the right. Open the
lower spin wheel (# C1).
•Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate
with a reasonable quantity, if necessary, of dry kindling
wood. Place 2 or 3 small logs on top.
•Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper
and close the door.
•When the fire is burning fiercely, add further logs of a
diameter up to 10 cms.
•When the stove body is very hot, close the lower spin
wheel.
•The burning rate can now be lowered by moving the
top air control to the left.
3.2.2. Re-fuelling
Figure 7
•Slide the top air control (# B1) to the right. Open the
lower spin wheel (# C1).
•Open the glass door and add logs.
•Leave the lower spin wheel open for a few minutes to
allow the initial volatiles in the wood to burn.

3.3. Instructions for use with solid fuel
3.3.1. lighting
•Slide the top air control (# B1) to the right. Open the
lower spin wheel.
•Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate
with a reasonable quantity, if necessary, of dry kindling
wood. Place a small quantity of solid fuel on top.
•Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper
and close the door.
•When the fire is burning fiercely, add further fuel.
•When the stove body is hot, close the top air control by
sliding to the left.
•The burning rate can now be adjusted by rotating the
lower spin wheel.
3.3.2. Re-fuelling
•Open the lower spin wheel.
•Open the glass door and add fuel.
•Leave the lower spin wheel open for a few minutes to
allow the initial volatiles in the fuel to burn.
•Adjust the lower spin wheel to the desired position.
3.4. De-ashing
•Remove ash until glowing ashes start falling into the
pan. (rep. C3, fig. 7, p. 7)
•Ashes must be removed before loading the firebox and
when the fire doesn’t burn efficiently.
•Ashes must never be allowed to pile up to the grate.
The grate would not be cool down and could rapidly be
damaged.
•Empty the ashes carefully with regard to the live
embers.
REMEMBER TO BURN SOLID FUEL CORRECTLY,
AlR SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FLOW FROM THE
ASH PIT AREA THROUGH THE GRATE AND
THROUGH THE FUEL. IF THE GRATE OR ASH PAN
ARE CONGESTED, THE PERFOMANCE WILL BE
EFFECTED.
If burning solid fuel, always empty the ash pan at least
once a day or whenever it is full of ashes. Never allow
the ashpan to overfill allowing ash to be in contact with
the underside of the grate. If this condition is allowed,
the grate will wear out pre-maturely.
3.5. Maintenance of the stove
•The appliance must be regularly cleaned.
•Remove all deposits from the combustion chamber
and clean the grate area.
•Cleaning of the glass door can be done with a soft cloth
dampened with water and vinegar or potassium ; this
must be done when the appliance is cold ; then rinse
with clear water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
•The “vitroceramic” glass will resists to temperatures of
up to 750 C. Should the glass break due to misuse, it
must be replaced by the manufacturers own product.
•All the casing parts can be cleaned using a soft cloth
either dry, or slightly damp. In case of condensation or
water splashes clean the parts before they dry out.
Warning : The appearance of cracks when burning the
enamelled units is quite usual and tends to disappear
when the appliance is cooling down. It should not be
considered as a defect but rather as a patina of the
enamel which does not affect its quality nor its service
ability.
3.6. Recommendations
•The stove may still be hot even when fire has burnt out.
•This room heater is an appliance producing heat and
may cause severe burns if touched.
Keep children away.
