USER GUIDE
PLEASE RETAIN THIS GUIDE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Please read this user guide carefully when you assemble, install, operate
and maintain your stove.
If you have any more questions, please contact your local dealer.
1. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLIANCE LOCATION
The appliance must be located at specific distances from its surroundings. This is to prevent damage to
products & furnishings within the vicinity of the appliance. Adequate space should be provided for servicing
the appliance.
We recommend furnishings be always kept 1m away, to avoid heat degradation over time. There must be a
minimum clearance of 150mm each side & back of the appliance, with 300mm clearance above and in front
of the appliance, to provide sufficient space for heat to dissipate to room space. See below for suggested
distance to combustible materials.
VENTILATION
Your stove requires ventilation to supply it with air for combustion. Ventilation is also required to ensure the
proper operation of flues and chimneys to ensure that the products of combustion are safely dispersed to
the outside air. Please ensure the stove has sufficient ventilation for operation.
Extraction fans lower the pressure in a building which can cause spillage of combustion products from an
open-flued appliance. This can occur even if the appliance and the fan are in different rooms. If mechanical
extraction is unavoidable in the same room as your stove, then seek specialist advice to ensure safe
operation of the appliance

1.1. Safety Advice
1.1.1. Handling
Necessary facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
1.1.2. Metal Parts
Be careful of personal injury when installing of maintaining this appliance.
1.1.3. Other possible injuries
The stove contains no harmful materials, but if there is a possibility of using any dangerous materials
during installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
1.1.4. Important Warning
This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a chimney that is shared with any other heating appliance.
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.
2. Installation
2.1. Chimney
The chimney must be fitted in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and the relevant part of the
Building Regulations. The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to
Building Regulations and all local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards.
The chimney must be in good condition, any cracks and obstructions are not permitted. The diameter of the
flue should not be less than 125mm and not more than 200mm. If any of these requirements are not met,
the chimney should be lined by a suitable method.
The chimney must be swept and examined for soundness and suitability before the appliance is installed.
Remedial action should be taken if required, seeking expert advice if necessary. Where the chimney is
believed to have previously served an open fire installation it is 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 a local installer.
2.2. Flue Draught
A flue draught of minimum 1.2mm to a maximum 2.5mm water gauge may keep the appliance in good
performance. If the flue draught exceeds 2.5mm, a draught stabilizer must be installed to control the
rate of burning and prevent overfire. You should check the flue draught when fire is on high output.
2.3. Chimney Connection
You should brick up or seal an existing fireplace opening with a register plate. A short length of flue pipe of
a minimum 125mm internal diameter may then be used to connect the stove to the chimney. This flue
pipe should conform to Building Regulations. Ensure that the pipe end is no closer 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.
The length of any horizontal run of flue pipe must not exceed 125mm.
It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney-flue are sealed and made
airtight. This appliance is not suitable for installation in a shared flue system.
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.

2.4. Air Supply
A permanent, unobstructed air opening is essential for the room or space containing this appliance. The
air opening should be at least 3625mm2 when a draught stabilizer is equipped. Due care for air
requirements will need to be taken if any other appliances are permitted to work in the same room and
space.
2.5. Material Clearances
It is workable for the appliance to be recessed in a prepared fireplace, but a suitable free air gap must be
left around the sides, top and back of the appliance to reach maximum heat output and for access to the
rear of the stove.
In all instances the back wall of the fireplace recess and the hearth should be made of non-
combustible material.
The hearth on which the stove is to be placed should not be less than 25-30mm thick and should
be in accordance with the current building regulations.
Care should be taken to level the stove using the adjusting screws in the feet.
The appliance shall be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. If the existing construction
does not meet this prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load disturbing plate) should be taken to achieve it.
2.6. Commissioning and Handover
You should leave an appropriate period for fire cement and mortar to dry out upon completion of the
installation. To ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted
safely to atmosphere, a small fire should be lit first. Do not run the stove at full output for at least 24
hours.
Finishing the installation and commissioning, the operating instructions and tools for your stoves should
be kept in hand. It is also important to know how to use the stove properly and use only the recommend
fuels for this appliance. The user should know how to have smoke or fumes emitted properly form the
stove and be warned to prevent injuries in case of the presence of children, aged or infirm persons.
3. Operating Instructions
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 this user guide.
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not
be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in this user guide.
3.1. Important Information
All local regulations, including those referring to national and European Standards need to be
complied with when installing the appliance.
This appliance is not suitable for installation in a shared flue system.
The firebox and ashpit cover shall be kept closed except during ignition, refueling and removal of residue
material to prevent fume spillage. It is important to use this appliance correctly to achieve best results.
3.2. Air Controls
Warning! Parts of the appliance, especially the external surfaces will be hot when in operation and due
care need to be taken e.g. Protective gloves should be given in operation.
It is essential for the appliance to have sufficient air supply for combustion and ventilation.

5
3.2.1. Primary Air
Primary air is controlled through the assembly on the bottom of the door. This provides a conventional air
draught which passes through the fuel bed. The primary air intakes can be adjusted to control the fire in
combustion chamber.
3.2.2. Secondary Air
The appliance is fitted with an air wash system which can keep the heat-resistant glass of the fire
door clean. This secondary air is controlled through the fittings on the bottom of the stove.
3.3. Grate
There are Two options: Rotary style and grid style. For rotary style grate, you can operate it by
dragging a stainless-steel rod forward and backward to de-ash. For grid style grate, a special hook is
supplied to de-ash. It is highly recommended to de-ash regularly in case any build-up of ash will
damage the cast iron fuel bed. You should be careful of any hot parts.
3.4. Ashpan
It is essential that you clean up the ashpan regularly. Use the supplied tool to lift the ashpan out of the
stove.
3.5. Burning Mineral Smokeless (Solid Fuel)
DO NOT have more than a 30-degree incline of the fuel bed from front to back, when you put solid mineral
fuels on the fuel bed. The height of loading fuels must not exceed the rear cast iron lining.
The refueling intervals at nominal heat output will be approximately every 4 hours. We suggest you
refuel in time to get the best possible results. When using solid mineral fuels, we suggest you keep the
secondary air control in the closed position, so it can burn at maximum efficiency. At this time the
primary air controls can adjust the burn rate of the appliance.
To prevent the ash from being stacked to the underside of the bottom grate, please always de-ash
before refueling. Once the ash builds up, it is possible that it will restrict the airflow and cause the fire
to die.
Important! It is very important to empty the ashpan regularly. In case the ash builds up the underside of the
grate, burnout or distortion of the grate may be caused.
3.6. Burning Wood
The refueling intervals at nominal heat output will be approximately 1.5 hours. You may load wood
higher in the stove than solid mineral fuel, but wood or logs are not permitted to touch the baffle plate.
Wood burns most efficiently with the primary air controls closed and the secondary control partially open.
Moving the secondary control will control the burn rate of the stove.
Wood burns best with a layer of ash on the fuel bed, and care should be taken to only remove surplus
residue from the stove timely.
We recommend you only use dry, seasoned wood as fuels; the wood should have been cut, split and stacked
for at least one year in a circulating air surround to dry out. Otherwise, wet or unseasoned wood will cause
tar deposits in the stove and unsatisfactory heat output will occur.
We recommend the use of wood logs with a moisture content of less than 20% .
Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create excess smoke emissions, tar deposits in the stove and chimney
and will not produce a satisfactory heat output. Wood fuel purchased from an approved source may still
require some drying out to remove surface water before use.

3.7. Refueling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission
can occur. Refueling must be carried out onto enough glowing embers and ash 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.
3.8. Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this user guide should not be exceeded, overloading can cause
excess smoke. We suggest that you refuel every 45 minutes to 1 hour, dependent on fuel.
The recommended maximum dimensions of wood logs are as specified below:

4. Lighting the stove
1. Open the door and ensure the secondary/ air-wash control lever is opened fully. It’s the control on the right.
2. On first lighting, we recommend using 2 - 3 firelighters along with wood kindling built in a pyramid above
the firelighters to obtain a good fire bed. Ignite the firelighters then close the stove door and allow the
firelighters and wood kindling to ignite to the point where the embers are glowing.
3. Add your fuel of choice and control the stove as advised. Burn small loads initially in your new appliance
before full fires are used, to allow paint & fitting cement to cure.
4.1. Controlling Stove
4.1.1 Burning wood:
• Air-wash/secondary air lever (The control to the right) - Use this to control the fire when burning wood.
• Primary air control lever (The control to the left) – This should be closed as wood does not need air from
below to burn effectively.
• Avoid overloading your appliance as this may cause damage to the product and cause unstable burn
conditions. See max fuel load stated in ‘Refueling Wood’ section for more info.
4.1.2 Burning coal:
• The Air-wash/secondary air lever (The control to the right) – This should be left partially open, to allow the
air-wash system to keep the glass clean.
• Primary air control lever (The control to the left) - When burning coal, the stove should be mainly controlled
using this lever.
• Avoid prolonged periods of slow burning which may cause build-up of creosote with certain fuels. Using a
flue temperature gauge can help achieve the optimum temperature for clean combustion.
4.2. Recommended Fuels
• Split and dried logs properly seasoned with less than 20% moisture content (max fuel load on page 8 should not
be exceeded).
• Anthracite (Medium) smokeless fuel.
• Eco Logs.
• Briquettes.
5. Maintenance
5.1. Stove body
Use a soft brush to clean the stove; cleaning must ALWAYS be done after it has cooled down. The finish
can be renewed with proprietary stove paint.

7
5.2. Baffle plate
Remove and clean the baffle plate once a month to avoid soot or fly ash.
Block the flue ways and produce dangerous fume emission.
5.3. Fireproof glass
Use a proprietary glass cleaner to clean the glass when cool. Any material that may damage the glass
should not be used to clean the panel. Wet logs on heated glass, a badly aimed poker or heavy slamming
of the doors could crack the glass panels and care should be taken.
5.4. Ceramic rope
Ceramic or fiber glass rope is used on the stoves. Inspect the rope around the door and glass. If rope is
becoming detached, use a proprietary rope glue to reattach it. Ensure you replace the rope in the case
of it being in poor condition.
5.5. Flue & Chimney
Keep the chimney, flue way and any connection flue pipe swept regularly.
For users of smokeless fuels, sweep at least once a year; for wood and other fuels, at least twice a year. If
the stove is fitted in place of an open fire, then the chimney should be swept one month after installation
to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove
and an open fire.
