These instructi ns c ver the basic principles t ensure satisfact ry installati n f the st ve, alth ugh detail
may need slight m dificati n t suit particular l cal site c nditi ns. In all cases the installati n must c mply
with Nati nal and Eur pean Building Regulati ns, L cal Auth rity Byelaws and ther specificati ns r
regulati ns as they affect the installati n f the st ve.
Health and Safety Precauti ns
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some ty es of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the
skin. In case of contact, wash immediately with lenty of water.
Asbest s
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a ossibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course
of installation then lease seek s ecialist guidance and use a ro riate rotective equi ment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove, care should be taken to avoid the ossibility of ersonal
injury.
Please n te:
Any white de osits on the stove joints are caused by humidity reacting with the joint sealant.
These de osits may be brushed off and, if necessary, blackened with a ro rietary stove olish.
Imp rtant Warning
This stove must n t be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating a liance.
No ur ose rovided ventilation is required for stoves rated under 5KW. For each KW above
5KW, 550 sq mm of fixed ventilation is required – i.e. a stove rated at 8KW would require 3 x
550 sq mm = 1650 sq mm of fixed ventilation. If more than one a liance is installed in the same
room, the ventilation requirements for each a liance must be added together.
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.
Installati n
Chimney
The chimney height and the osition of the chimney terminal should conform to Building
Regulations. Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry, free from cracks and obstructions.

HD01 18/12/11
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 swe t before connection to the stove.
Where the chimney is believed to have reviously served an o en fire installation, it is ossible
that the higher flue gas tem erature from the stove may loosen de osits that were reviously
firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the
chimney be swe t 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.
If there is no existing chimney then either a refabricated 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.
Flue Draught
A flue draught of minimum 1.2mm to a maximum 2.5mm water gauge is required for
satisfactory a liance erformance. The flue draught should be checked under fire at
high out ut and, if it exceeds the recommended maximum, a draught stabiliser must be fitted so
that the rate of burning can be controlled and to revent overfiring.
C nnecti n t the Chimney
An existing fire lace o ening can be bricked u or sealed with a register late. A short length of
flue i e of a minimum 125mm internal diameter may then be used to connect the stove to the
chimney. This flue i e should conform to Building Regulations. Ensure that the i e end is no
closer than 76mm to the side or rear chimney walls.
Ideally, the old fire lace should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamlined entry into the
flueway. The length of any horizontal run of flue i e must not exceed 125mm.
It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney-flue are sealed and made
airtight. This a liance is not suitable for installation in a shared flue system.
Both the chimney and flue i e must be accessible for cleaning and if ANY arts of the chimney
cannot be reached through the stove (with baffle removed), a soot door must be fitted in a
suitable osition to enable this to be done.
Material Clearances
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized fire lace but a ermanent free air ga of at least
150mm must be left around the sides and to and at least 50mm at the back of the stove to obtain
maximum heat out ut and for access to the rear of the stove.
All non-combustible walls closer than 400mm to the stove should be at least 75mm thick. In all
instances the back wall of the fire lace recess and the hearth should be made of non-combustible
material. Allow an a ron of at least 300mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either side.
The hearth on which the stove is to be laced should not be less than 125mm thick and should be
in accordance with the current building regulations.

HD01 18/12/11
Care should be taken to level the stove using the adjusting screws in the feet.
The a liance shall be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing ca acity. If the existing
construction does not meet this rerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load disturbing late) should
be taken to achieve it.

C mmissi ning and Hand ver
U on com letion of the installation, allow a suitable eriod 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 u the chimney and emitted safely to atmos here. Do not run the stove at
full out ut for at least 3 – 4 days.
On com letion of the installation and commissioning, ensure that the o erating instructions and
o erating tools for the stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the
correct use of the a liance 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 from the stove. The user
should use a suitable fireguard in the resence of children, aged and/or infirm ersons.

Air C ntr ls
This stove has been designed to burn clean and efficient. If used correctly this stove will burn far
more efficiently than normal with the obvious notable features of CLEAN GLASS. Never clean
glass when stove is hot. Always use stove glass cleaner which is available from your stove
retailer.
However, for this roduct to work ro erly it must be used correctly.
It is essential that the stove has an adequate air su ly for combustion and ventilation.
The rimary and secondary air inlets must be ke t clear from obstruction.
N te:
The sec ndary air c ntr l is pen when pushed t the right.
Warning! This a liance will be h t when
In o eration and due care should be taken
When o erating the controls.
Air C ntr ls
Primary Air
Primary air is controlled via the two rotary air controls on the bottom of the door.
This rovides a conventional air draught to the bed of the fire. The rimary air intakes can be
adjusted to give the best ossible results when burning different fuels.
Sec ndary Air
The cast iron stove is fitted with a so histicated “air wash” system. This secondary air su ly to
the stove is controlled through a slider assembly located at the to of the stove.
Multifuel Grate
Your San Remo Stove is fitted with a rotary style grate, which is o erated from the front of the
stove via a riddle rod. Use the “Hook” end of tool to o erate the riddling system. This rotary
grate is located in the centre of a cast iron flat bed with suitable air slots that assist the burning of
most fuels. It is im ortant to use the rotary grate to de-ash regularly, to ensure that the rimary
airflow is not im eded, as a build-u of ash can damage the cast iron bed.
Ashpan
It is essential that you em ty the ash an regularly. Use the “T” end of tool to lift the ash an out
of the stove.
N tes n W d burning
With a full load of wood, the stove will need to be refuelled a roximately every 1.5 hours.
Wood can be stacked higher in the stove than solid mineral fuel but care must be taken that logs
do not touch the baffle.

HD01 18/12/11
Wood burns most efficiently with the rimary air controls closed and the secondary control
artially o en. Moving the secondary control will control the burn rate of the stove.
Note – rimary and secondary air is needed to light the stove, see section entitled
‘Lighting the Stove’.
Wood burns best on a bed of ash and it is therefore only necessary to remove sur lus ash from
the stove occasionally.
Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood, which should have been cut, s lit and stacked for at least 12
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 de osits in the stove and chimney and will not roduce a
satisfactory heat out ut. Do not use liquid fuels in this a liance.

Lighting the St ve
We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you o erate your stove to its
maximum heat out ut. This is to allow the aint to cure in steadily and to give a long service life
of the aint finish. During this curing in rocess you may notice an un leasant smell. It is non-
toxic, but for your comfort we would suggest that during this eriod you leave all doors and
windows o en.
First, load the fire with starting fuel, i.e. a er, dry sticks and/or firelighters in the mode chosen,
either wood or solid mineral fuel.
Light the fire at the base leaving all air controls o en. Allow the fuel to reach a steady glow and
build the fire u gradually. Once you have a good fire established across the grate bed, further
fuel can be added as required.
Shutting D wn
In order to shut down the stove, close the rimary air controls, then close the secondary air slider
by moving the handle all the way to the left. If the controls are left in this osition, the fire will
be starved of air and will go out. If you want to revive the fire it is recommended that the
rimary air controls are o en first, then o en the secondary air slider.
Warning! - The stove will remain h t for a considerable time after the fire has been
extinguished.

HD01 18/12/11
N tes:
Warning! - Petroleum coke fuels or household waste must not be burnt on this a liance.
Should any difficulties arise over fuel quality or suitability, consult your local a roved coal
merchant.
Safety N tes f r y ur guidance
FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS – Always use a fireguard in the resence of children, the
elderly or the infirm.
DO NOT OVERFIRE – it is ossible to fire the stove beyond its design ca acity, this could
damage the stove, so watch for signs of overfiring – if any art of the stove starts to glow red, the
fire is in an overfire situation and the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave the
stove unattended for long eriods without first adjusting the controls to a safe setting – careful air
su ly control should be exercised at all times.
Any unauthorised modifications of this a liance will render the guarantee null and void and
could be otentially dangerous. Re lacement arts should only be sourced from San Remo
a roved dealers
WARNING – FUME EMISSION
Pro erly installed and o erated, this a liance will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-
ashing and refuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission must not be tolerated.
If fume emission does ersist, then the following immediate action should be taken: -
1. O en doors and windows to ventilate room
2. Let the fire out, or eject and safely dis ose of fuel from the a liance.
3. Check for flue chimney blockage and clean if required.
4. Do not attem t to re-light the fire until the cause has been identified and corrected.
If necessary, seek rofessional advice.
Imp rtant! – Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as this a liance.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE
• Raise the alarm to let others in the house know.
• Call the Fire Brigade
• Reduce the a liance-burning rate by closing all air controls.
• Move furniture and rugs away from the fire lace and remove any nearby ornaments.
• Place a fireguard or s ark guard in front of the stove.
• Feel the chimneybreast for sign of excessive heat.
If the wall is becoming hot, move the furniture away. Ensure that the Fire Brigade can gain
access to your roof s ace in order to check this area for signs of fire s read

Frequently Asked Questions
1 Do stoves require a himney?
All of our multi fuel and wood burning stoves require a suitable chimney or rofessionally
installed flue system.
2 How do I lean the himney?
You will require a chimney swee to clean the chimney. It is best to rovide a dedicated
chimney cleaning access door when installing the flue of the stove.
3 Who should install my stove?
San Remo want you to enjoy the maximum erformance from your Stove roducts. To
ensure this, it is essential that they are installed correctly.
We strongly recommend that your San Remo Stove roducts are installed by a qualified
lumber or suitably qualified erson.
4 How do I regulate the heat output?
Each stove will have s in valves, which will allow you to easily regulate the heat out ut.
5 What warranty poli y do I get?
San Remo Stoves will re lace, free of charge, any working art that fails (under normal
o erating conditions) within 12 months of urchase. Consumables such as glass or stove
ro e are not guaranteed.
A all out harge will apply if our engineer attends any stove problem that is not related
to produ t failure.
6 Where an I get spare parts?
Your local San Remo Stove retailer will be leased to su ly s are arts and to rovide any
other information you require.
7 Can the doors be left open while burning?
For safety and heat efficiency the doors should remain closed at all times.
8 Why is the stove smoking when lit?
A smoking stove can be caused by a flue with back draught roblems. A qualified fitter
should com lete a smoke test rior to fitting the stove to ascertain the integrity of the flue.
9 Why should I “Run in” my stove?
To begin, light a series of small fires over a eriod of a few days to allow the aint finish to
cure. The stove is finished with a heat resistant aint and this can be cleaned with a soft
brush. Do not clean whilst the stove is hot; wait until it has cooled down. The finish can be
renovated with ro rietary stove aint
If the stove is not “run in” correctly, this may cause the aint to discolour and flake.
10 What is Over Firing?
Your stove should never be used in a manner to cause over firing. Over firing can be caused
by over loading the stove with fuel, and with rimary controls o en. If any art of stove
glows "red" your stove is over firing and your draught control should be adjusted to restrict
airflow to stove. Over firing can cause ermanent damage to the a liance which is not
covered by warranty.
