Operating Instructions for
The Nectre Bakers Oven
The Nectre Bakers Oven has the firebox at the top and the oven below. Heat is directed around the oven by closing
the damper, located next to the flue outlet.
Before lighting your
Bakers Oven ensure that the damper control is properly located so that it closes and swings
open. The
damper is open when the control lever is in the down position and closed in the up position .. Also enSUre
that the steel inspection panel in the bottom of the oven is in place (not to be confused with the oven tray).
To light
your cooker, first make sure that the damper is open and the air spindle control (the spindle control is opened
and closed to control the rate
of bum) on the firebox door is also open to its full extent. Light a fire using finely
chopped wood and establish it
so that it has plenty of flames. As soon as the fire is going briskly, close the damper.
This directs the flames
and flue gases down the sides and around the oven. Keep the fire burning briskly until the
oven
is up to temperature. NOTE: The temperature gauge 011 the oven door is only a guide to the temperature in the
oven.
We have found that when the gauge is reading around 100 degrees Celsius, the internal oven temperature is
more like 180 degrees Celsius.
It is a good idea to use a meat thermometer when cooking. To add more fuel to the
fire,
it is advisable to open the damper before opening the door. When the firebox is loaded, close the door and then
close the damper. This will avoid having
smoke coming into the room.
For cooking, always
have a brisk fire using small pieces of wood that provide plenty of flames. This type of fire will
maintain the oven temperature.
For heating and longer bum time, larger pieces of wood can be used and the spindle
control closed off.
The oven temperature will drop when in this mode of operation.
Maintenance
The Bakers Oven requires little maintenance, however the flue and oven base should be periodically checked for
sooUcreosote build
up'that may require cleaning. Inside the oven is a removable base plate. This plate should be
lifted
off and any soot underneath it removed. You can also remove the hotplates on cooking surface of the Bakers
Oven and scraPe the sides
of the oven. The glass on the firebox and oven door can be cleaned with steel wool and
water.
It is not advisable to use a cleaner that contains caustic. and abrasive cleaners.
A metal strip at the top ofthefireoox door can be adjusted in and out with the allell key provided. The strip should
be set leaving a gap
of about lmm between the edge of the strip and the front ofthe Bakers Oven. This gap allows
a small trickle
of air to wash over the glass.

Chimney Height
A masonry chimney or a listed factory-build chimney must be the required height above the roof and any
other nearby obstructions.
The chimney must be at least 3' (90.cm) higher than the highest point where it
passes through the
roof and at least 2' (60 em) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is
within 10' (305 em)
of the chimney, measured horizontally.

One ofthe main necessary precautions when installing a wood stove is to leave sufficient
space between the stove (top, sides, back, front, and under stove pipes) and any other
material that can catch fire.
If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor, it must be placed on an approved 1"
(25mm) non-combustible hearth pad with k = 0.84 BTU/in
fu hr of. In the USA, the floor
protector must extend 8" beyond each side
ofthe flue loading door and 16" to the front.
In Canada, the floor protector must extend 8" (200mm) beyond each side and the back
of
the appliance and 18" (450mm) to the front. (See fig. 4)

In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also extend under the stovepipe a
minimum
of2" (50mm) beyond either side of the pipe.

Chimney connection
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect the stove to the chimney.
For use with the Bakers Oven the chimney connector MUST be 6"
in diameter, with a
minimum thickness
of24 gauge black steel or 26 gauge blued steel.
Aluminium and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the Bakers Oven.
These materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures
of a wood fire and can give
off toxic fumes when heated.
Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.
Each chimney connector or stovepipe section must be installed to the stove flue collar
and to each other with the male (crimped) end toward the stove.

This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from runningdown the outside
of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection must be
secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.
For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible,
with no more than two
900 elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36" and a
recommended total length
of stovepipe should not exceed 10 feet. Always slope
horizontal runs upward
14" per foot toward the chimney.
No part
of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other
concealed space, or through a floor ceiling. All sections
of the chimney connectors must
be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a wall or partition
of combustible
construction is desired, the installation must conform with NFPA
211 or CAN/CSA-
B365, and is also addressed in this manual.

Installation Clearances
It is extremely important that you respect required installation distances and that you
respect local installation regulations. This is for your safety! The manufacturer is not
responsible for the product,
if it is not installed following these recommendations. These
clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority.
A combustible surface
is anything that can bum (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics
etc.) These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include materials that
are behind non-combustible materials.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials.

Chimney
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE. DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR
SYSTEM.
This room heater must be connected to a 6" factory built UL 103 HT chimney
(ULe
S629, in Canada) or a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
Factory Built Chimney
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions
must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the
ceiling support package or wall pass-through and "T" section package, firestops (where
needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to
the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be the required
height above the roofor other obstructions for safety and proper draft operation. See page
8 for chimney termination requirements.

Masonry Chimney
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) by having
it inspected by a professional. Make sure there
are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs
of deterioration and blockage. Have the
chimney cleaned before the stove
is installed and operated. When connecting the stove
through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed. Refer to
Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs on page 9.

Masonry Fireplace
There are listed kits available to connect a stove to a masonry fireplace. The kit is an
adapter that is installed at the location
of the fireplace damper. The existing damper may
have to be removed to allow installation. As the Bakers Oven is not available
in a rear
flue option installation into a masonary can only be done
if the height of the chimney
opening exceeds the height
of the Bakers Oven.

WARNING: THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE-SYSTEM SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS/NZS 2918
AND tHE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RELEVANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES.
CAUTION: MIXING
OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES OR
MODIFYING THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF COMPONENTS MAYRESULT IN HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH ACTION
IS CONSIDERED, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN THE
FIRST INSTANCE.
CAUTION: CRACKED AND BROKEN COMPONENTS, e.g. GLASS PANELS
OR CERAMIC TILES, MAY RENDER THE
INSTALLATION UNSAFE.
WHERE A WATER JACKET IS FITTED
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT TO AN UNVENTED HOT WATER SYSTEM.
INSTAll IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS 3500.4.1. OR NZS 4603 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
RELEVANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES.
The Nectre Bakers Oven
must be installed with a standard ASA 2918:2001 Flue Kit with a 900mm long 1800
circumference flue mouhted shield
THE
FLUE KIT MUST BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS
CONSTRUCTING THE FLUE-A free standing stove should have a flue kit made of stainless steel or vitre-
ous enamelled steel and it shall extend not less than 4.6m above the top
of the floor protector and meets the require-
ments ofAS2918/2001 Section
4. The length will depend on ceiling height and roof design but the top of the flue pipe
must
be a minimum of 600mm above the ridge if the flue penetrates the roof within 3m of the ridge. Or to be of sufficient
height
to be 3m from the roof line horizontally, but a minimum height of 1 m.
If the draft is insufficient or periodic down drafting occurs and the stove smokes or only burns slowly, extending the flue or
fitting a specialist cowl will usually cure
it.
In the roof cavity and above the roof it is essential that the flue has an outer casing with a reasonable air space (at least
25mm) between inner and outer pipes. This double flue is important to prevent condensation on the upper cooler parts of
the flue
as well as being a safety feature. Where the flue penetrates the ceiling and roof, it must comply with AS2918/
2001. If the stove
is fitted into an existing chimney ensure that it is sealed at the base of the chimney with a register plate
and fit the flue pipe up through the plate and continue flue until
it terminates outside'the chimney in accordance with
AS2918:2001 4.9.1
