INSERT STOVE INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
This insert is suitable for a standard 16” or 18” wide
by 22” high fireplace opening, it is also suitable for
most cast iron curved top fireplaces when used with
our curved backing plate, this is available as an
optional extra, see details in this manual.
When installing, operating and maintaining your
stove respect basic standards of fire safety. Read
these instructions carefully before commencing the
installation. Failure to do so may result in damage to
persons or property. Consult your local Municipal
office and your insurance representative to deter-
mine what regulations are in force. Save these
instructions for future reference.
Special care must be taken when installing the stove
such that the requirements of the Health & Safety at
Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading,
unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should
not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In
case of contact with the skin wash immediately with
plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possi-
bility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please seek guidance and use
appropriate protective equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should
be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
IMPORTANT WARNING: This stove must not be
installed into a chimney that serves any other
heating appliance.
2
NOTE: Please note that it is a legal requirement
under England & Wales Building Regulations that
the installation of the stove is either carried out
under Local Authority Building Control approval or
is installed by a Competent Person registered with
a Government approved Competent Persons
Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and
a listing of their Registered Competent Persons
can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
PRE-INSTALLATION
After removing the stove from the packaging, open
the fire door and remove the loose packing. Prior to
installation all the internal components of the stove
are removed to gain access to fixings and to make it
lighter for installation.
Remove the refractory fire bricks, these bricks are
loose and just need to be lifted clear of the grate
support plate before they can be removed.
To remove the loose baffle, lift the front edge until it
hits the top and then slide it forward. Then drop the
rear edge and the baffle will slide down.
To remove the fixed baffle, loosen the two roof bolts,
support the baffle with one hand while removing the
L shaped brackets with the other hand, see Fig.1.
This will allow the baffle to drop down clear of the
roof bolts. The baffle will then slide back and down
to allow it to be removed from the stove, see
Fig.2A&B.
The installation must be completed in
accordance with current National and
European Standards and Local Codes. It
should be noted that the requirements and
these publications may be superseded during
the life of this manual.
Fig.1
Fig.2A

Do not overtighten the roof bolts when refitting the
baffle. It is adequate to leave them in a position
where the L shaped bracket has just enough room to
be removed.
To remove the cast iron liners, lift them clear of the
grate support plate and then move the front edge of
the casting towards the middle of the stove, and
clear of the back wall of the stove, then tilt the cast-
ing so that it can be removed diagonally through the
opening. Remove the flue spigot and gasket by
removing the four bolts.
Next, remove the grate by pushing it from under-
neath, the riddling bar is not fixed to the grate. This
will allow access to two M6 fixings which will attach
the stove to the outer casing. Remove the 2 fixings,
allowing the insert stove to be removed from the
external casing.
CHIMNEY
THIS PRODUCT IS SUITABLE FOR CHIMNEY
INSTALLATION ONLY.
The stove is a radiant room heater and must be con-
nected to a chimney of the proper size and type. For
ROI the chimney must have a diameter of at least
125mm. It is recommended that a flue liner of diam-
eter 125mm be used to line the chimney, the liner
should be approved for use with solid fuel. See
Fig.3.
For the UK the chimney must have a diameter of at
least 150mm, an adaptor is available where required
to fit between the flue outlet and a 6” flexible flue
liner.
Never connect to a smaller size chimney. Do not
connect to a chimney serving another appliance.
Minimum chimney height 4.5 meters from floor on
which stove is installed.
It is permitted to connect using a closure plate and a
connection piece from the stove to the closure plate
(See Fig. 4), provided that the chimney is of sound
Fig.2B construction with no leaks or cracks, a clay flue liner
has been used that can withstand up to 1000oC, the
clay liner has a diameter no greater than 200mm.
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.
Chimneys must conform to BS EN 15287-1:2007:
Design, installation and commissioning of chimneys.
ALL FLUE INSTALLATIONS ARE THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER.
The stove must be connected to a chimney with a
minimum continuous draught of 12 Pascal’s. Poor
draught conditions will result in poor performance.
Fig.3
Note:-
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 the open fire.

1. Grate Support
Tilt the grate support up on one side and pass it
carefully through the door opening, it should then
rest on three supports approx 100mm from the floor
of the stove grate.
2. Grate
The grate simply lays into the grate support but care
needs to be taken that the riddling bar will rest in the
middle of the fork.
3. Cast Iron Side Liners
To insert the side liner bring the casting carefully
towards the opening, the bottom edge needs to go
towards the side it will fit to and the top edge goes to
the centre of the stove. With the casting tilted like
this, then the casting should pass through the open-
ing in the front.
When the casting is in the stove, manoeuvre it into
position by inserting the back edge first then the
front.

4. Fixed Baffle
The baffle fits to the roof of the stove using the two
M6 round head screws. With the screws in place, lift
the baffle into place with the main part of the baffle
to the rear of the stove, then slide the baffle so that
the screws are at the tip of the slots. Tighten the
screws to secure the baffle.
5. Loose Baffle
Hold the baffle by the ‘L’ shaped end with the fold
turned up. Manoeuvre it diagonally through the door
opening and then drop the rear edge to the rear of
the stove. Lift the ‘L’ shaped edge up over the ‘L’
shape on the side castings.
Move the baffle as far as possible to the front and
top. Then lift the back edge up and allow the baffle
to rest on the top rib on the back and in the ‘L’ shape
on the side castings. Note: The secondary air holes
must be visible underneath the baffle.
6 & 7. Side & Back Bricks
Lay the side and back bricks in as shown in Fig.9.
8. Fire Fence
Lay the fire fence into the slots provided ensuring
that they slope from front to back so that no embers
can fall out through the fire fence.
DOWN DRAUGHTS
However well designed constructed and positioned,
the satisfactory performance of the flue can be
adversely affected by down draught caused by near-
by hills, adjacent tall buildings or trees. These can
deflect wind to blow directly down the flue or create
a zone of low pressure over the terminal. A suitable
anti-down draught terminal or cowl will usually effec-
tively combat direct down blow but no cowl is likely
to prevent down draught due to a low pressure zone.
(See Fig.10)

VENTILATION AND COMBUSTION AIR
REQUIREMENTS
The minimum effective air requirement for this appli-
ance is 8.25cm2. When calculating combustion air
requirements for this appliance use the following
equation: 550mm2per each kW of rated output
above 5 kW should be provided, where a flue
draught stabiliser is used the total free area shall be
increased by 300mm2for each kW of rated output.
If there is another appli-ance using air fitted in the
same or adjacent room, it will be necessary to pro-
vide an additional air supply.
All materials used in the manufacture of air vents
should be such that the vent is dimensionally stable,
corrosion resistant, and no provision for closure.
The effective free area of any vent should be ascer-
tained before installation. The effect of any grills
should be allowed for when determining the effective
free area of any vent.
Air vents direct to the outside of the building should
be located so that any air current produced will not
pass through normally occupied areas of the room.
An air vent outside the building should not be locat-
ed less than the dimensions specified within the
Building Regulations and B.S. 8303: Part 1 from any
part of any flue terminal. These air vents must also
be satisfactorily fire proofed as per Building
Regulations and B.S. 8303: Part 1.
Air vents in internal walls should not communicate
with bedrooms, bedsits, toilets, bathrooms or rooms
containing a shower.
Air vents traversing cavity walls should include a
continuous duct across the cavity. The duct should
be installed in such a manner as not to impair the
weather resistance of the cavity.
Joints between air vents and outside walls should be
sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture. Existing
air vents should be of the correct size and unob-
structed for the appliance in use. If there is an
extraction fan fitted in adjacent rooms where this
appliance is fitted, additional air vents may be
required to alleviate the possibility of spillage of
products of combustion from the appliance/flue
while the fan is in operation. Refer to B.S. 8303 Part
1.
Where such an installation exists, a test for spillage
should be made with the fan or fans and other appli-
ances using air in operation at full rate, (i.e.extrac-
tion fans, tumble dryers) with all external doors and
windows closed.
If spillage occurs following the above operation, an
additional air vent of sufficient size to prevent this
occurrence should be installed.
Especially Airtight Properties:-
If the stove is being fitted in a property where the
design air permeability is less than 5m3/ (h.m2) (nor-
mally newer properties built from 2006), then a per-
manent ventilation must be fitted to provide 550mm2
of ventilation for each kW of rated output. If a
draught stabiliser is also fitted then the requirement
is 850mm2per kW of rated output.
PERMANENT AIR VENT
The stove requires an adequate air supply in order
for it to operate safely and efficiently. The installer
may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide com-
bustion and/or ventilation air. This air vent should
not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.

Extractor Fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same
room as the stove as this can cause the stove to
emit smoke and fumes into the room.
COMMISSIONING & HANDOVER
On completion of the installation allow a suitable
period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry
out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to
ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the
stove up the chimney and emitted safely to the
atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least
24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning
ensure that the operating instructions for the stove
are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the cus-
tomer on the correct use of the appliance 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 what to do should smoke or fumes
be emitted from the stove. The customer should be
warned to use a fire guard to BS 8423:2002 in the
presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
LOCATION
There are several conditions to be considered in
selecting a location for your stove.
A. This product is designed to be installed into a fire-
place.
B. Allowances for proper clearances to com -
bustibles.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
This appliance must be installed in a recess, the
recess should not contain any combustible materi-
als. Wooden battens and plaster board should not
be used within the clearance to combustibles. The
minimum clearance to combustibles required is
550mm to the top, 350mm to the sides, 550mm
directly to the front and 350mm to any combustible
flooring.
Fig.12
Fig.11
If the mantlepiece protrudes further than 100mm
from the fireplace, then it will be necessary to have
further clearance to the top of the stove. The dis-
tance the mantle protrudes past the 100mm should
be added to the clearance.
For example, if the mantle protrudes 200mm, the
clearance to the mantle should be 650mm. (See
Figs 11 & 12).
If there is a studded wall surrounding the fire-
place as in Fig.13, ensure the clearances in this
Fig are adhered to.

CO ALARM
Waterford Stanley strongly recommend the fitting of
a CO Alarm in the same room as the appliance, this
is a compulsory requirement under UK Building
Regulations. Further guidance on the installation of
a carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN
50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturers
instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a
substitute for either installing the appliance
correctly or ensuring regular servicing and
maintenance of the appliance and chimney
system.

AIR CONTROLS
The stove has two air controls the primary and sec-
ondary. The primary air control is a spin wheel locat-
ed in the middle of the door.
To operate the primary air control, rotate the wheel
in an anti-clockwise direction to open (increase air
supply) and clockwise to close (decrease air sup-
ply). See Fig 15.
Fig.15
Fig.16
When burning wood the primary air control should
be adjusted to a maximum of one turn open after the
fire has established, when wood is very well sea-
soned no primary air is required, the burn rate can
then be controlled using the secondary air control.
Warning
Leaving both air control controls fully open can
lead to overheating the stove and damaging the
internal components.
RECOMMENDED FUELS
This appliance has been tested and approved using
mineral smokeless fuels. The quoted efficiency and
output relate to burning such fuels, whilst the appli-
ance is capable of burning other solid fuels the out-
put and performance will be different from values
given. Other fuels are commercially available and
may give similar results. Do not use fuels with a
Petro-coke ingredient as this may cause the grate to
overheat, causing damage. Reduced outputs will
result when fuels of lower calorific value are used.
All fuels should be stored under cover and kept as
dry as possible prior to use.
DOOR HANDLE OPERATION
The stove is supplied with a detachable door handle.
To open the door, insert the silver end of the handle
into the door latch on the fire door, turn the handle
clockwise and pull the door towards you. To close
the door, insert the handle into the door latch as
before, push the door closed, turn the handle anti-
clockwise to engage the door catch and remove the
door handle.
NOTE: THE DOOR HANDLE SHOULD NOT BE
PERMANENTLY FIXED TO THE UNIT AND
SHOULD ONLY BE USED AS OUTLINED ABOVE.
RE-FUELLING
When refuelling with manufactured smokeless fuel
riddle the fire by connecting the grate operating tool
onto the rocker connection located at the bottom
front of the stove. Then gently pull and push the
rocker arm until all dead ash has fallen through into
the ashpan. Before opening the door, open the spin
valve by turning it anti-clockwise, as this will help to
eliminate any smoke or fly ash resident in the com-
bustion chamber. Add fuel to fire, taking care not to
overfill higher than the front firebars. Close fire door
and re-set spin valve to required setting. Do not
operate this appliance with the fire door open. (See
Fig.17)
The secondary air control is a slider mechanism
located at the left hand side of the door, slide the
lever to the bottom of the slot to open the air supply
and slide it to the top of the slot to close off the air
supply. Both air supplies can be partially closed by
selecting a point between open and closed. The air
controls are hot when the fire is in operation. Use
the glove provided when setting air controls or open-
ing and closing the fuelling door. See Fig.16
For most efficient use of different fuels the controls
need to be operated differently, during the ignition
period both air controls can be fully open, when the
fire is established the controls need to be adjusted.
When burning smokeless fuels the secondary air
control can be closed off however a little secondary
air may be required to maintain a clean glass, the
burn rate is controlled by the primary air control.

SLOW BURNING
To achieve slow burning when burning wood close
the secondary air slide and open a few millimetres
using the tool provided. Slow burning will cause the
window glass to blacken and should not be used for
a long period as it will leave sooty deposits in the
flueways. Opening the air slide will increase the
heat output and will clear the glass.
To obtain slow burning when burning coal, close the
secondary air fully and partially open the spin valve.
DE-ASHING
Never allow the ashpan to over fill as it will cause
damage to the grate. Empty the ashpan before
lighting. Always ensure that ashes have thoroughly
cooled before removing the ashpan. Open the fire
door and remove ashpan using the operating tool.
Close the fire door. When the ash is disposed of,
replace the empty ashpan. (See Fig.18) Do not
leave the fire unattended with the fire door open,
even for a minute.
WARNING - NEVER DISPOSE OF ASH WHEN
STOVE IS LIGHTING.
Fig.18
When burning wood the requirement to riddle the
fire is much less. Do not riddle the fire with the spin-
wheel open but fully open the secondary air control
instead. Remember to reset the controls after
refuelling.
MAINTENANCE
GRATE REMOVAL & CLEANING
Over time fuel deposits, clinker & ash can lodge
between the grate and grate support which can
cause difficulties when moving the grate during de-
ashing. To help reduce this occurrence, it is recom-
mended that the grate is cleaned on a monthly basis
when undertaking the general cleaning of the flue
pathways using the following procedure:
1. The grate is removed by removing the ashpan
and then lifting the grate out of the grate insert
from underneath the grate (see Fig 19).
2. When replacing the grate, ensure that the fork on
the underside of the grate is located over the
grate pull rod (see Fig 20 & 21) and pull the grate
pull rod to check that the grate is riddling.
Fig.19

WARNING
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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Now that your Solid Fuel stove is installed and no
doubt you are looking forward to many comforts it
will provide, we would like to give you some tips on
how to get the best results from your stove.
1. We would like if you could take some time to
read the operating instructions/hints, which we
are confident, will be of great benefit to you.
2. Do not burn fuel with a high moisture content,
such as a damp peat or unseasoned timber.This
will only result in a build up of tar in the
stove and in the chimney and the possibility of a
chimney fire.
3. CLEAN THE FLUE-WAYS OF THE STOVE
EVERY WEEK AND ENSURE THAT THERE
ARE NO BLOCKAGES. CHECK FLUEWAYS
BEFORE LIGHTING ESPECIALLY AFTER A
SHUT-DOWN PERIOD. PLEASE REFER TO
MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
4. Before loading fresh fuel into the firebox, riddle
fully to remove all ashes this will allow better and
cleaner burning. See Re-Fuelling Section.
5. Never allow a build up of ashes in the ash pan,
as this may cause the grate to burn out prema-
turely.
6. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty
of air for combustion.
7. Do not burn rubbish/house hold plastic.
8. Clean the chimney at least twice a year.
9. Burning soft fuels such as timber and peat will
stain the glass. Regular cleaning will prevent
permanent staining.
10. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance
away from the appliance, please see section for
clearances to combustibles.
It is also important to clean the appliance flue-ways,
flue-pipe and chimney prior to lighting up after a
prolonged shut-down period.
REMEMBER COAL GASES ARE TOXIC
CREOSOTE: Formation and Need for Removal
When some fuels are burned slowly, they produce
tar and other organic vapours, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue
of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited cre-
osote makes an extremely hot fire.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
The chimney should be cleaned twice annually. The
chimney can be cleaned through the stove by
removing the fire lining and the baffle. The flue liner
should be cleaned in accordance with manufactur-
ers instructions. Always use a brush with plastic
bristles that is the correct size to reach all areas of
the flue.
Where the chimney is believed to have served an
open fire installation it is possible that the higher flue
gas temperature from a closed appliance may
loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered,
with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is there-
fore recommended that the chimney be swept a
second time within a month of regular use after
installation.

11. Never Use Aerosols near stove when alight.
12. For safety reasons never leave children or the
elderly unaccompanied while stove is in use.
Use a fireguard.
13. Avoid contact with appliance when in use as the
stove reaches very high operating tempera-
tures.
14. This appliance should be regularly maintained
by a competent service engineer. Use only
replacement parts recommended by Waterford
Stanley. Using unauthorised parts will invalidate
your guarantee and may cause damage or
injury.
AN ODOUR WILL EMIT FROM STOVE ON FIRST
FIRING, WHEN FIRE REACHES MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURE OVER A NUMBER OF HOURS
THIS ODOUR WILL SUBSIDE.
IT IS BEST ADVISED TO OPEN WINDOWS
DURING THIS PERIOD.
THIS ODOUR IS UNPLEASANT BUT NOT TOXIC.
YOU MAY WISH TO VACATE THE ROOM WHILE
THE PAINT CURES.
LIGHTING
Before lighting the stove check with the installer
that the installation work and commissioning
checks described in the installation instructions
have been carried out correctly and that the
chimney has been swept clean, is sound and
free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves
commissioning and handover the installer
should demonstrate how to operate the stove
correctly.
IMPORTANT: The first few fires should be rela-
tively small to permit the refractory to set prop-
erly and to season the stove.
1. Before lighting the stove, ensure that any build-
up in the firebox has been removed and that the
ashpan has been emptied.
2. Open the spin valve by turning it anti-clockwise.
Open secondary air control by pulling it down.
These parts will become hot. Use the tool
provided.
3. Lay a few crumpled sheets of paper on the grate
and then a few small sticks, kindling or an
approved firelighter. Ignite and close the door.
4. Never use inflammable liquid i.e. gasoline,
petrol paraffin etc. to start or freshen up a fire in
this heater.
5. When the fire is well established add fuel to the
firebox. Adjust to the desired setting the spin
valve and / or the secondary air slide depending
on the fuel burned. (See Re-Fuelling Section).
6. To shut the fire down, do not add fuel. Make
sure that the fire door is properly closed, that
the spin valve is firmly shut and the secondary
air slide is pushed up. Cutting off the air supply
will reduce the heat output.
CO ALARM
Your Installer should have fitted a CO Alarm in the
same room as the appliance.
See Warnings below:
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this
stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from de ashing and re
fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume
emission is potentially dangerous and must not
be tolerated. If fume emission does persist,
then the following immediate action should be
taken:
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the
room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire go out.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and
clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the
cause of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected. If necessary
seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is
flueway or chimney blockage. For your own
safety these must be kept clean at all times.
WARNING:-
If the CO Alarm sounds unexpectedly:-
1. Open Doors and windows to ventilate the
room and then leave the premises.
2. Let the fire go out.

FIRE SAFETY
To provide reasonable fire safety the following
should be given serious consideration:
1. The installation of smoke detectors.
2. A conveniently located fire extinguisher to con-
tend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
3. A practical evacuation plan.
4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
a. Notify the fire department.
b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacua-
tion.
c. Close all openings into the stove.
d. While awaiting the fire department watch for
ignition to adjacent combustibles from over
head stove pipe or from embers or from
sparks from the chimney.
GLASS
1. How to clean:
The glass will clean itself when there is sufficient
heat generated by burning fuel. If a build-up of cre-
osote occurs on the glass it may be due to draft con-
ditions, poor quality fuel or very slow burning for a
long time. Only clean glass when the stove is thor-
oughly cooled. Clean with a liquid detergent taking
care not to scratch the glass with any coal ash
deposits.
2. Glass Replacement:
a. Open the door fully.
b. Remove the clips and carefully remove the
broken glass.
c. Clean the glass recess in the door.
d. Place the glass into the door recess and replace
the four corner clips.
e. Tighten screws.
f. Replace glass only with ceramic glass 5mm thick.
SUMMER SHUTDOWN
For summer shutdown of the stove, ensure all ashes
have been cleaned from the ash compartment and
that the air control is open, to avoid condensation in
the stove firebox and possible corrosion during this
shutdown period.
