Advice on fuel types
Wood
As a natural and renewable fuel, we primarily recommend wood for burning, however, burning
wood can require a little eort and planning.
Any type of wood is suitable (though hardwoods are preferable) provided it is well-seasoned and
has a moisture content below 20%; this usually indicates that the timber has been suitably stored
to allow moisture to evaporate for 9+ months in the case of softwoods, or 24+ months in the case
of hardwoods. An electronic moisture meter can be obtained to determine the moisture content of
your timber if desired.
Wet wood, or ‘green’ wood, must not be used as it will greatly contribute to the creation of tar and
creosote within the appliance and/or chimney, which may in extreme cases run down the chimney
in liquid form; this will seriously damage both the chimney and the appliance, and will increase the
risk of a chimney re.
For general burning we recommend that wood be split into logs of no more than 100mm (4’’)
diameter.
Solid Fuel
If opting to burn solid fuel in your Stovey, please ensure that you have installed a solid fuel kit. The
kit includes hardened concrete re-bricks, and a poker to help with riddling the grate.
Modern Stoveys are designed for use with cleaner burning and smokeless fuels, and it is very
important to ensure that your choice of fuel is suitable for a Stovey. We recommend HETAS
approved smokeless fuels, which have been deemed appropriate for use in closed appliances,
including multi-fuel Stoveys. These are:
Anthracite Homere Ecoal Pureheat
Ancit Homere Coals Supertherm
Coalite Newame Maxibrite Sunbrite
Homere Phurnacite Taybrite
For further advice on fuels, please refer to The Solid Fuel Association (www.solidfuel.co.uk) or
HETAS (www.hetas.co.uk).

page 7
Warnings
Liquid fuels, pure petroleum coke and bituminous house coal must not be burned in this appliance.
The use of these fuels will invalidate the appliance guarantee. This appliance should not be used as an
incinerator.
Stovey recommends the use of HETAS-approved smokeless fuels that have been deemed suitable for
use with closed appliances, including multi-fuel Stoveys. If in doubt we advise you to contact the Solid
Fuel Association, either by calling on 0845 601 4406/ 01773 835400 or visiting www.solidfuel.co.uk.
Building control approval from your local authority is a legal requirement when installing any new/
replacement wood or solid fuel heating appliance; this can be attained by using a qualied heating
engineer aliated to a government approved persons scheme, as oered by HETAS. For further
information, contact HETAS Ltd., call them on 0845 634 5626 or visit www.hetas.co.uk
A re-guard conforming to BS 8423:2002 should be used in situations where children, aged and/or
inrm persons may make accidental contact with the appliance.
Do not use aerosol sprays, or any other ammable materials, on/near the appliance when it is in use.
Stovey Ltd. will not be held responsible for any consequential or incidental loss or injury, however
caused. Any manufacturer’s instructions must not be taken as overriding statutory requirements.
Please consult appropriate health and safety guidelines for advice on handling heavy and/or large
items.
Stovey appliances are designed to be operated with the re door(s) closed at all times, unless
refuelling (when alight) or cleaning (when cold). Do not leave the appliance unattended for an
extended length of time with the door(s) open.
Prior to lighting your Stovey for the rst time, please ensure with the installer that:
• All installation and building work is complete.
• Your chimney is sound, has been swept and is free from obstruction.
• Building regulations and local by-laws have been upheld during installation.
• The chimney draw has been checked and is within specication (between 0.1mb and 0.15mb, or 10-
15 pascals). This ensures that your Stovey will operate as designed, and eciently.
• A carbon monoxide detector is correctly installed in the same room as the appliance.
The ue draught should be checked under re at high output; if it exceeds the recommended
maximum, a draught stabiliser must be tted so that the rate of burning can be controlled, and
to prevent over-ring. Consult your local dealer, stockist or engineer should you have any doubts
regarding the suitability of your chimney. If your ue draught is below the minimum recommendation,
it may be necessary to increase the vertical chimney height, add additional ue insulation or add a
purpose-built cowl to the top of the chimney (e.g. an anti-down draft cowl to eliminate wind-induced
down draft).
Ensure that you have fully read and understood these instructions before operating the appliance.

Hearth Requirements
This appliance must be installed on a surface with suitable load-bearing capacity. If the existing
construction does not meet this prerequisite then suitable measures (e.g. use of a load distributing
plate) should be taken to achieve it.
When installing an inset Stovey, hearths should have a suciently at surface so that a good seal
around the Stovey body can be achieved. Uneven stonework or bricks may require further work to
ensure that the appliance can be properly installed. Any voids behind an inset Stovey should be lled
with vermiculite or similar.
The appliance should be installed on a non-combustible surface (conforming to Building Regulations
Approved Document J). It must be of suitable load bearing capacity, and heat resistance.
Allowances should be made for the expansion and contraction of any materials tted to/near the
appliance. Dimensions of the constructional hearth for all Stoveys should project at least 500mm
forward from the front of the appliance and 150mm at the sides.
The surface of the hearth should be kept entirely free of combustible materials. The superimposed
hearth for all installations should project at least 225mm forward from the front of the appliance and
150mm either side from the edge of the appliance.
In most buildings with solid concrete or stone oors the requirements for the appliance will be met by
the oor itself, however, we recommend marking the hearth to ensure oor coverings are kept well
away, or using dierent levels to mark the hearth perimeter.

Inset Appliances
Installations in an appliance recess adjacent
to any combustible materials must be
adequately protected using a suitable
insulation material as detailed on page
8 – Insulation Material-Reccommended
Specication.
The insulation material must be at least
120mm in thickness and must be situated
at least 100mm away from the rear & side
of the appliance and meet the thermal
conductivity specication as detailed.

page 10
Chimney Requirements
The Stovey must be connected to a suitable and ecient ue to ensure that fumes produced by
combustion are properly expelled from your home. Please remember that chimney draught is
dependent upon four key factors:
• Flue gas temperature • Flue height • Flue size • Flue terminal
To ensure an eective up draft it is important that the ue gases are kept warm, and that the
ue size suits the Stovey. The termination of the outlet at the top of the ue must also conform
to specied building regulations. The minimum eective height of the ue must be at least
4.5 metres from the top of the Stovey to the top of the ue outlet. The ue draught should be
between 0.1mb and 0.15mb when warm.
The draw of a chimney/ue can vary in dierent weather conditions, and the customer should be
made aware of this.
Failure to correct an over-drawing ue will invalidate the warranty on this appliance.
A chimney that complies with regulations may still be subject to down draught and similar issues.
A chimney that terminates above ridge level is generally less likely to suer such problems.
If a new chimney is being provided it must comply fully with the relevant building regulations for
solid fuel burning installations. Suitable types of chimney include:
• Masonry chimneys: Built with clay/concrete liners, or a chimney block system that complies with
building regulations.
• Factory made installation chimneys: In compliance with BS 4543:Part 2 (often called ‘Class 1
prefabricated metal chimney’).
Both varieties of chimney listed above must be installed in accordance with building regulations
and BS EN 15287-1:2007.
Due to the gradual introduction of European Chimney Standards, chimneys will be specied
according to their performance designation, as dened in BS EN 1443 regarding the general
requirements for chimneys. The minimum performance designation required for use with a solid
fuel burning Stovey is T450 N2 S D3.
The ue and chimney installation must be carefully checked by a competent person before the
Stovey is tted, to ensure it is suitable and will work as intended. 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 re installation it is possible that the higher
ue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were previously rmly
adhered, with the consequent risk of ue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney
be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
If the chimney is old (i.e. built from brick or stone without a liner) or being opened up for reuse,
additional checks and smoke testing should be carried out to ensure that the ue and chimney are
in good operating condition, as described in Appendix E of Approved Document J 2010 Edition.

page 11
Check the existing ue is in good condition, with suitable access for the collection and removal of
debris.
It is important that a suitable ue pipe (recommended at least 600mm in length) that complies with
building regulations is used to connect the Stovey to the ue in the chimney. Suitable access should
be provided to the ue for regular inspection and sweeping of the ue ways.
Ensure that the ue pipe diameter is not less than the diameter of the outlet of the appliance. If a
cooker hood is employed ensure that adequate air is available for the appliance as well as the hood.
The installer should provide a notice plate giving details on the chimney, ue lining, hearth and
replace installation, in compliance with building regulations.
Chimneys should be as straight as possible. Horizontal runs should be avoided, with the exception
of the rear outlet of the appliance, the horizontal section of which should not exceed 150mm in
length. If necessary, a combination of 45 ° and 90 ° can be used, providing the sum of their angles
does not exceed 180 ° (i.e. four 45 ° bends, or two 45 ° and a 90 ° bend).
If the appliance appears to be working well, but is not matching its expected output of heat, it is
likely that excess draw is present in the chimney, resulting in heat being sucked from the appliance
and up the chimney. In such cases we recommend the tting of a draught stabiliser in preference of
a ue dampener, in the interest of safety and eciency.
Your Stovey appliance is not suitable for use in shared ue systems.
All joints in the connection between the appliance and the chimney must be made gas-tight using
re cement and where necessary re-proof rope inll.

page 12
External Air Intake
It is possible to connect a direct air supply to the Stovey by attaching a exible pipe to the air intake
at the rear of the appliance using a jubilee clip. This air intake can then be directed through the wall
at the rear of your Stovey, making use of a direct air source from outside.
For installation with a direct outside air connection, the provisions of ADJ permanent ventilation needs to be
adhered to.

page 13
Combustion Air Requirements
The Stovey must be installed in a room with adequate air supply in order to work eciently
and safely. This point bears particular consideration in modern homes, where drafts may be
signicantly reduced by double glazing, etc.
Under UK building regulations, any appliance over 5kW must have a xed, permanent air vent
(see Building Regulations Approved Document J for further information).
Ensure all parts are tted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any re cement and
mortar to dry out, before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under re check all seals for
soundness and check that the ue is functioning correctly and that all products of combustion
are vented safely to atmosphere via the chimney terminal.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions
for the stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of
the appliance and warn them to use only the recommended fuel for the stove.
The installer is to leave the appliance operational with the heating system correctly balanced
and to hand over User Instructions and any operating tools supplied. The installer should
explain the operation of the appliance to the user.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer
should be warned to use a reguard to BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of
children, aged and/or inrm persons.
The Stovey must not be installed in any room where an extractor fan is tted, as this can cause
the appliance to emit fumes into the room. It is necessary to install a wall vent to provide the
necessary air for combustion and to prevent the depletion of oxygen in the room.
All external air vents, whether connected directly to your Stovey or separate must be
positioned so that they are not liable to blockage.
Refuelling on to a low re bed:
When there is insucient burning material in the re bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive
smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sucient quantity of glowing
embers and ash in order for the fresh fuel charge to ignite in a reasonable amount of time. If
there are too few embers in the re bed for proper ignition, add suitable kindling to prevent
excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading:
The maximum fuel consumption for these appliances is 9kg per hour; you should not exceed
this amount as overloading can cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open:
This appliance must not be operated with the appliance door left open, unless otherwise
specied in the instructions (see ‘Lighting the Stovey’). Operation with the door open can
cause excess smoke.

page 14
WARNING NOTE
Ensure the ash pan is in place before lighting the re, or air controls will not function and over-ring will
occur.
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 re go out.
(c) Check for ue or chimney blockage and clean if required.
(d) Do not attempt to relight the re until the cause of the fume emission has been identied and
corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is ueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these
must be kept clean at all times.

page 15
Stovey Operation
First time operation:
We recommend using the appliance for small res for the rst few days of use in order to properly cure
the paint and allow the castings of the Stovey to relax. During this process the paint may smoke briey,
and may give o a slight odour for an hour or so, but this vapour is harmless and should not be confused
with fume emissions. Nonetheless, it is advisable to keep the area well ventilated until the vapour
disperses.
As the Stovey cools down the paint will harden. This process may take several rings, depending on the
temperature achieved and the duration of burning. Leaving the door slightly ajar during the rst ring will
prevent the rope from sticking to the softened paint during the curing process. It is very important that
the paint is not touched during this process.
Please note that the ‘ivory’ paint is more susceptible to marking and soot transference, and as such Stovey
cannot be held responsible for marks made on the appliance, either by the heat resistant gloves provided
or other means.
All paint nishes can be restored to a factory nish; please see notes on paint application.
You may hear your Stovey click or tick as it heats up or cools down, this is completely normal and is caused
by the expansion and contraction of the appliance’s steel components as their temperature changes.
Lighting:
• Fully open both primary and secondary (air-wash) controls.
• Place a relighter/paper together with dry kindling wood on the grate within the appliance, and light it.
• Leave the door open slightly as the re establishes and the glass warms, avoiding the possible build-up
of condensation.
• Add larger pieces of wood to build the re. Note that too many logs may smother the re.
• Close the door fully once the re is established.
• Close the primary air control. Use the secondary air control to adjust the burn rate when the appliance is
at operating temperature.
Refuelling:
• Open the primary and secondary air controls fully.
• Rake any embers over the grate to establish a glowing re bed. If the re bed is low, add a small amount
of kindling wood to re-establish the re.
• Place new logs in an open arrangement, allowing oxygen to reach every part of the re. Compact loading
will cause the wood to burn more slowly, cause the re to smoulder and produce excess smoke.
• Burn the fresh logs at high output for 3-5 minutes before closing the primary air control. Use the
secondary air control to adjust the burn rate. Do not close the air controls until the re is burning well.
• For cleaner, more ecient burning, refuel little and often.

page 16
Stovey Operation with Solid Fuel
• Fully open the primary air control and half open the secondary air control.
• Place a relighter/paper together with dry kindling wood on the grate within the appliance, and
light it.
• Leave the door open slightly as the re establishes and the glass warms, avoiding the possible
build-up of condensation.
• Add some slightly larger pieces of wood to build the re.
• Add your fuel. This must be anthracite, smokeless fuel, turf/peat briquettes etc., suitable for
closed appliances.
• Take care not to smother the re.
• Close the door fully once the re is established.
Refuelling with Solid Fuel:
• De-ash the re bed using a suitable tool such as a re poker..
• Fully open the primary air control to fully establish a glowing bed before adding more fuel.
• Allow the fuel to burn at high output for a few minutes before adjusting the primary air control to
your desired setting.
• For cleaner, more ecient burning, refuel little and often.
First Lighting / Maintenance
For the rst lighting of the Stovey after installation it is VERY IMPORTANT that the door remains
slightly ajar during the rst ring. During the rst ring the paint nish goes through a curing
process which will soften the paint with the heat. As the Stovey cools down the paint will harden.
This process can take several rings, and will depend on the temperature achieved and for how
long the re has been left to burn.
Leaving the door slightly ajar during the rst ring will prevent the rope from sticking to the
softened paint during the curing process.
It is also very important the paint is not touched during this process. Due to the newness of
materials, the re will give o an unpleasant odour for a period of time after commissioning. This
is quite normal as the paint cures and will disappear after several uses once the Stovey has been
operating at its normal temperature for several hours.
Operate the appliance at a low output for the rst few burns to allow the curing of the materials.
Avoid contact with the painted surfaces of the appliance during the rst periods of use.
Keep the room well ventilated to avoid a build-up of fumes.
Please note that the Ivory paint is more susceptible to marking and soot transference and as a
result Stovey cannot be held responsible for marks made on the Stovey by the heat resistant gloves
or by other means. All paint nishes are able to be touched up to a factory nish – please see notes
on maintenance.

page 17
Care and Maintenance
Ash Removal
The ash pans can be removed by using a suitable ash-removal tool to hook it forward so that you can grasp the pan
using the glove provided. We would recommend emptying the ash into a metal bucket for transportation.
You should only empty the ash when the appliance and ashes are completely cool and can be disposed of in your
normal household refuse.
Cleaning the Stove
We recommend only doing this when the stove is cold using a soft brush to clean any of the stove surfaces, this is
normally sucient to remove dust, ash and debris. For stubborn marks you can use a damp lint free cloth, ensure
that all surfaces are dried o immediately. We do not recommend using any kind of chemicals or abrasive materials.
It is possible to touch up the paint using the original metallic black stove paint, however this new paint will then need
to cure.
Glass Cleaning
A damp lint free cloth is normally sucient, however for stubborn build ups we would recommend using a very ne
wire wool.
Chimney Sweeping
It is essential that your chimney (ue) is swept at least once a year by a registered professional chimney sweep.
Sweeping removes particles that could otherwise fuel a chimney re, it should also highlight any potential issues
such as leaks and damage to the ue.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open re installation it is possible that the higher ue
gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were previously rmly adhered, with the conse-
quent risk of ue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of
regular use after installation.
Chimney Fires
In the event of a chimney re ensure both Primary and Secondary air controls are fully closed and the door(s) remain
closed at all times. If the chimney re does not go out or if there is a serious risk to people and property, call the re
brigade immediately.
Regular sweeping of the chimney will remove combustible particles and will reduce the risk of chimney res.
Stove Servicing
Your stove should be inspected annually to ensure all seals are present and correct and to gauge the condition of the
internal components. The service should be done by a HETAS registered engineer who also perform a spillage test
and acertain the correct functioning of the plumbing circuit.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean to remove
ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good ow of air through the appliance to reduce condensation and sub-
sequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
It is important that the ue connection, any appliance baes or throat plates and the chimney are swept prior to
lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
The user should be warned to use a reguard in the presence of children, and old and/or inrm people. The reguard
should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002, Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances.

page 18
Preventing Chimney Fires
There are four main reasons for chimney res happening:
1. Infrequent sweeping and cleaning
2. Burning unseasoned wet wood
3. Improper appliance sizing
4. Overnight burning or smouldering wood for long periods in wood burners.
To reduce the risk of a chimney re, you should:
• Have your chimney swept on a regular basis
• Make sure all wood burnt has a moisture content below 17 per cent, by buying seasoned wood from
reputable suppliers
• Choose the correct size appliance for your room. One which is too large will never burn all of the fuel
contained in the wood. This unburned fuel will pass up the chimney as smoke and condense as extremely
ammable creosote
• If you have a wood burner, always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on fuel loading and air
ow.
In the event of a chimney re ensure both Primary and Secondary air controls are fully closed and the
door(s) remain closed at all times. If the chimney re does not go out or if there is a serious risk to peo-
ple and property, call the re brigade immediately.
Regular sweeping of the chimney will remove combustible particles and will reduce the risk of chimney
res.
Useful Stovey Tips
• Over time, experience will establish which settings best suit your needs.
• Ensure your logs are well-seasoned and dry.
• Hardwood logs have a higher caloric value than softwoods.
• Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the secondary air control closed for prolonged periods of time;
this causes tars/creosotes to build up in the appliance and ue system, reduces the clean glass eect
and will produce an excessive amount of smoke.
• Burning the Stovey at a high output for a short period reduces the rate at which tars/creosotes
develop.
• Do not load logs above any log guard that is tted, nor any secondary air outlets at the back of the
rebox.
• A bright, clean rebox indicates that the Stovey is burning well.

Guarantee
Your Scomes with a 10 YEAR GUARANTEE against splitting or cracking of the main body. The main body
being dened as the steel outer casing and items xed immovably to the casing.
All other parts, which would be subject to normal wear or tear are excluded from this guarantee. These include the
rebox liner panels, fuel retainers, throat plate, door rope, door glass, grate bars, gaskets, hotplate and spigot.
Fire-bricks
The stove re-bricks may become cracked after long periods of heavy use or after being knocked by the loading of
fuel or a poorly aimed re poker. If the re-bricks are damaged they should be replaced.
Fire door seal
The rope seal around the edges of the main re door should also be checked. Look for signs of fraying, peeling
away or the ends not meeting. If the rope is unable to create a good seal with the stove body it should be repaired/
replaced. A poor seal will decrease your ability to control the burn rate and its eciency whilst leading to an
increase in heat lost through the ue.
Cracked glass
It is not recommended to operate the stove with cracked glass; this can lead to over ring due to air leaking into
the rebox and it may fail completely leading to personal injury or a re. You should discontinue use of your stove
until it has been repaired.
This guarantee shall not apply to any stove that has been altered in any way, or which in our professional
judgment has been subjected to misuse, neglect, accident, abuse or excessive wear and tear. The guarantee is
also conditional upon the appliance being serviced and checked annually by a qualied heating engineer, with
documentation to be retained and produced in the event of a claim being made.
Claims are not valid where installation does not conform to all building regulations in force at the time of
purchase. The manufacturer’s decision shall be nal. However, if your appliance proves to be defective as a result
of faulty materials or workmanship during the guarantee period, we will repair or replace it FREE OF CHARGE.
THE USE OF SPARE PARTS OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED BY STOVEY WILL INVALIDATE THE APPLIANCE
WARRANTY. STOVEY WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL LOSS, DAMAGE OR
INJURY HOWEVER CAUSED.
All guarantee periods commence on the date of purchase and are non-transferable but you must register your
Stovey online at www.Stovey.com providing the installation details to ensure your warranty is validated. Our
guarantee is oered as an addition to your statutory rights.
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 re go out.
(c) Check for ue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the re until the cause of the fume emission has been identied and corrected. If
necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is ueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these must be
kept clean at all times.

The Clean Air Act 1993 and 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 oence to emit smoke from a chimney
of a building, a furnace, or any xed boiler if located within a designated smoke control
area. It is also an oence to acquire any unauthorised fuels for use within a smoke control
area, unless it is for use in an appliance exempted from the controls which generally apply
to the smoke control area.
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Aairs has powers under this
Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas
in England. In Scotland and Wales, this power rests with Ministers in the devolved
administrations for those respective countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air
Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt
or obtained for use in smoke control areas have been properly authorised in relevant
regulations, and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in such areas (other than any
authorised fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of
State, or Minister in the devolved administrations.
This appliance has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when
burning wood logs.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found online, at
http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/. Your local authority is responsible for implementing
the Clean Air Act, including designation and supervision of smoke control areas, and you
can contact them for details regarding Clean Air Act requirements.
