PLEASE READ THESE INSCTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
For your safety it is very important that your stove is correctly installed.
Our stoves cannot accept any responsibility for any fault arising through the
incorrectly practiced installations or use.
2.1. Assembly
Our stove offers multiple installation options thanks to the chimney outlets located in
its upper and rear compartment. You can determine the chimney outlet that you will
install according to the area of use.

ROE DEER - Stove Instructions
2. INSTALLATION OF THE STOVE
2.2. Regulations
All national and local regulations need to be complied with when installing the stove.
2.3. Installation
The stove must be installed by a registered installer or approved by your local building
control officer.
2.4. Safety Clearances
The stove must be installed on a solid, level non‐combustible hearth and with a gap of
at least 600mm from any combustible material such as beams or skirting.
When installing a stove, hearths should have a sufficiently flat surface to allow a firm
seating surface for the stove body to be positioned during its installation. The applian-
ce should be sited in a properly constructed brick fireplace or recess allowing a gap of
100mm all round, at the rear and both sides.
IMPORTANT: INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH CURRENT BUILDING REGULA-
TIONS ENSURE THAT SUFFICIENT CLEARANCES ARE PROVIDED BETWEEN THE
FLUE PIPE AND ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN THE FIREPLACE IN ACCORDAN-
CE WITH THE RULES IN FORCE.
2.5. Floor
National and local building regulations must be complied with when considering the
floor where the stove is to be installed.
The stove should be installed on a non-combustible surface not less than 12mm thick
(conforming to Building Regulations unless otherwise specified) of suitable load
bearing capacity and heat resistance.
The hearth should be level and the appliance fitted at right angles to it. The hearth has
to be able to support the weight of the appliance and any flue bearing down upon it.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the
hearth and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with Building Regulations rules
in force.

2.6. Combustion Air Supply
All stoves require ventilation to burn safely and correctly. In order for the stove to
perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in
which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. Air starvation will result in poor
flue draw and may cause smoke to leak into the room.
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.
For more detailed guidelines on required ventilation sizes please refer to Building
Regulations in force.
2.7. Access for Cleaning
Consideration must be given to installing extra access in the flue system to ensure all
sections can be cleared and maintained.
Only clean the stove when cold. To clean the glass, either use an oven cleaning fluid or
dip a wet cloth in the wood ash and gently rub clean. The outside can be cleaned with
a soft brush. Do not use abrasive cleaners as this will remove the paint.
If the stove has a period of non‐use leave the primary and secondary air controls in the
open position to allow ventilation through the stove.
3.1. Health and Safety
Please consult health and safety guidelines for advice on handling heavy and/or large items
3.2. Smoke Control Areas (The Clean Air Act 1993 & 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 designa-
ted 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).
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.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:

WARNING
During the first few times the stove is used, the heat resistant paint will be curing and
may give off small amounts of smoke and odours. This is completely normal for this type
of appliance and we recommend that you light a small fire for the first few days of use
to cure the paint and allow the castings to relax, not fired vigorously.
You may hear your stove produce clicking or ticking noises whilst it heats up or cools
down. This is completely normal and is produced by the expansion and contraction of
the steel components in your stove when its temperature changes.
3.3. Fuel
Wood
Any type of wood is suitable (though hardwood is preferable) provided it is well
seasoned and has a moisture content below 20%. Typically this means wood which
has been cut and stored in an open dry shelter for between one and two years. We
recommend that for general burning, wood should be split into logs of no more than
100mm (4 inches) diameter.
DO NOT BURN wet or unseasoned wood, painted, impregnated / treated wood,
manufactured board products or pallet wood. Doing so will result in the wood burning
inefficiently and excess smoke, soot or tar will be produced. This will coat and damage
the internal components of the stove and flue and could result in a chimney fire. If,
when burning wood, you see signs of sticky tar inside the appliance or chimney, your
wood is ‘green’ or too wet and requires further seasoning.
DO NOT BURN: bituminous coal, any petroleum based products or any liquid fuels.
DO NOT BURN Any form of plastics in this appliance.
3.4. Before Lighting
If using for the first time or following a long period out of use check that the flue is
clear and unobstructed. Check that the ash pan is empty and in position.
BDS Stoves are designed to be operated with the fire door(s) closed at all times, apart
from refuelling (when alight) or cleaning (when cold).
Prior to lighting the stove for the first time, please check that Installation and all
building work is complete, Building Regulations and any local by-laws have been
followed during installation, Carbon Monoxide detector is correctly installed in the
same room as the appliance, Suitable provision for combustion and ventilation air,
depending upon building regulations have been undertaken. Ensure that you have
read and understood these instructions before lighting the fire.

ROE DEER - Stove Instructions

3.5. Lighting
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance MUST NOT be
operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
The procedure adopted for ignition is to build a bed in stages and to warm the body
of the appliance and the chimney as quickly as practicable.
Firstly kindling, weighing approximately 1 kg will need to be lit (using a chemical
firelighter is recommended) with the air control fully open. When the firelighters or
newspaper are burning, leave the door ajar about 1 to 2 cm to achieve a good draw
and avoid condensation. Allow the burning kindling to warm up the chimney.
After 2 to 5 minutes the chimney should be warm enough create a good draw and the
door can be closed. Once the kindling has formed a good bed of glowing embers,
two small logs can be added. When these are alight and fully blackened, the door can
be closed. This, typically, takes approximately a further five minutes. (Do not be
tempted to overfill the firebox and risk fuel falling onto the glass or out the fire as the
door is opened) Under normal chimney draft conditions expect to refuel the stove
every 46 to 60 minutes.
WARNING
When opening the door, always open gently for the first 2 to 3 cm to allow the pressure
to equalise and stop smoke from escaping.
The stove should not be operated with either door left open for long periods.
The stove door should never be left open when the stove is in use. Do not leave the fire
unattended after refuelling until flames are well‐established on the newly charged logs
Please check whether your dwelling is located in a smoke control area before
installation or use. Please check with your local authority or
https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-arearules
3.6 De-ashing the Stove
WARNING
Take great care when removing and emptying the ash pan. Ash can remain hot long
after appliance has been in use. Ash can be very hot! Care must be taken not to burn
hands or household objects with falling embers—ALWAYS USE THE GLOVE SUPPLIED.

ROE DEER - Stove Instructions
9
Do not allow ash to build up as it may cause damage and adversely effect the perfor-
mance of the appliance. Warning: Ash can remain hot long after appliance has been in
use.
Before de-ashing the stove, make sure that all the fuel has burned out and the ashes
has cool down, then use a brush let the ash fall from bed of the fire into the ash pan
underneath. Then take out of the ash pan. Do not place hot ash in any container made
from plastic or any other combustible material. Empty only into a metal container.
Even if the ash appears cold, red hot embers maybe concealed and could easily start a
fire or cause an injury.
If the stove still burning when you want to de-ashing the stove, please make sure that
you take a Fire-retardant glove and use special tools for cleaning. Brush and vacuum
cleaner are not suitable in this case.
4. SAFE OPERATION GUIDANCE
4.1. Caution: HOT
During operation, the stove and all the fittings (door handles and controls) get very hot.
4.2. Over-Firing
Do not over-fill with fuel or run at high temperatures for long periods or over-firing can occur.
Look out for parts of the stove or flue glowing red hot. lf such a situation occurs adjust
the air supply accordingly to reduce the burning rate.
4.3. Chimney Fire
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur.
However if a chimney fire occurs;
— Shut all air controls immediately.
— Evacuate the building.
— Call the fire brigade.
— Do not re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe
Do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until it has been inspected by a registe-
red installer, confirming the appliance is safe to use.
4.4. Fumes
If installed, operated and maintained correctly the stove will not emit fumes into the
room other than occasionally well small amounts when re-fulling and de-ashing.
However persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be ignored. If
fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken;

ROE DEER - Stove Instructions
10
- Open doors and windows to ventilate the room
- Leave the room
- Let the fire burn out
- Check the stove, flue and chimney for blockages
- Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected. If necessary, seek expert advice.
4.5. Aerosol Sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight
4.6. Use of Fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are
present a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The
fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002, Fireguards for
use with solid fuel appliances
4.7 Use of Operating Tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the
stove is in use.
4.8. Adverse Weather Conditions:
In a small number of installations, very occasionally in specific weather conditions
(direction of the wind) the draw of the chimney may be affected causing a downdrau-
ght and fumes to be emitted into the room. If this is the case the stove should not be
used and advice sought from a professional flue installer who would be able to advise
on possible solutions such as an anti-downdraught cowl.
5. MAINTENANCE
PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE STOVE IS UNLIT AND COLD BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE
The need for regular maintenance on your stove will ensure, safe and efficient use of
your appliance
5.1. Before use
It is good practice to keep ash and debris to a minimum. Especially empty the ash pan
section. Remember that if only burning wood it is recommended to keep a bed of ash
about 1 cm thick on the grate.
5.2. General Cleaning
Clean and inspect the appliance regularly, especially in periods of heavy use. Regular
cleaning and maintenance will help give many years of safe use.

ROE DEER - Stove Instructions
11
Check internal components for damage and for obvious build up of soot, ash or debris
above the flue baffle.
Clean the outside of the stove with a soft brush. An annual service by a competent
engineer is recommended to keep your stove in the best possible condition.
5.3. Cleaning Glass
Before applying a cleaning agent remove any dust and loose soot with a damp cloth.
Clean the stove glass only when cool with a specialist glass cleaner. Use of any
abrasive cleaner will scratch the glass and make subsequent cleaning more difficult.
Before relighting the appliance ensure the glass is fully dried.
5.4. Chimney
It is important to have the chimney cleaned at least once a year.
It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after
a prolonged shutdown period.
Regular inspection and cleaning of the internal components of the stove can indicate if
the chimney requires more frequent cleaning.
If the stove has been unused for an extended period (during summer) the chimney
should be checked by a competent person before use.
Note
All parts that are in direct contact with the fire (grate, buffle,back and aside air boxes) are
considered as normal wear parts. Their life will be dependant on how vigorously the stove is
operated and they must be inspected and maintained on a regular basis. If they become worn,
damaged or not positioned correctly, non wear parts such as the stove top and sides will be
exposed to excessive heat and may be damaged.
6. TROUBLE‐SHOOTING AND FAULT FINDING
The Stove does not produce the expected heat into the room:
- The fuel is too wet and not suitable.
- Air inlets to the stove are blocked.
- Inadequate air supply into the room
- Has the flue pipe been sealed to the chimney to prevent heat being drawn up the
chimney to waste?
- For the maximum efficiency of heat transference into the room the stove should be sited
on the hearth of the fireplace rather than recessed.
The Stove burns too fast
- The chimney has excessive draw (seek installers advice on this point).
- The wood being used may be generally too small.

ROE DEER - Stove Instructions
12
- The glass is not sealed, gently tighten glass retaining clips. Do not over tighten as
this will stress or break the glass.
- Use whole logs rather than split ones.
Soot build up on glass when
- Fuel is too wet
- Fuel pieces are too large and `smouldering` rather than burning
- The stove operating temperature is too low
- The stove is being run too slow with not enough air
- Poor chimney draft
Excessive wear on internal parts when
- Stove fired too vigorously
- Too little air passing through the bottom grate
- Use of wood that is too dry (eg: wood from old furniture)
