With Coals or Logs (Natural Gas or LPG)
LEAVE THIS DOCUMENT WITH THE HOUSEHOLDER !
IMPORTANT: It is most important that both the customer
and the installation engineer, not onl follow the instructions
in this booklet, but must be satisfied that all the following
conditions have been complied with.
This stove must not be used with an solid fuel; it is onl
suitable for Natural Gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
according to the burner unit supplied. Ensure that the local
gas distribution conditions, the gas pressure and the adjust-
ment of the stove are compatible. Check that the burner
data plate (attached to the burner unit) corresponds with the
t pe of gas to be used ie. Natural Gas or LPG.
The site of the stove, the chimne , the flue and hearth etc., must compl with current Building regulations and Codes of
Practice before the stove is installed. The chimne flue outlet must be correctl positioned to align with the flue outlet on
the stove that ou have bought. Connection to the chimne , the job of the installation engineer, is detailed in Section 1
LOCATION AND RECOMMENDED HEARTH SPECIFICATION: Your hearth should protrude at least 150mm (6") in front
of the stove bod and be at least 12mm (1/2") thick. In most buildings with solid concrete floors this requirement will be
met b the floor itself. There should be a gap of at least 150mm (6") on either side of the stove, more if possible as the
greater the space the greater the amount of heat being released into the room. If the stove is to be fitted into an existing
opening there should be a minimum of 150mm (6") clearance on both sides, with the back of the flue diverter box 15mm
clear of the rear wall. On all stove installations no combustible material should cover the hearth, or be placed an closer
then 225mm (9") from the stove. This includes carpeting and other combustible floor coverings.
SAFETY REMINDERS: Tiger stoves are efficient appliances giving off convected, conducted and radiated heat. All the
surfaces of the stove - except the controls - are working surfaces and become hot in use. The must not be touched or
have an combustible objects or material placed on or near them. Adequate precautions should alwa s be taken to protect
children, the elderl , the infirm and pets, etc. from coming into contact with the stove.
V125 Flue Spillage Monitoring System: Tiger stoves are fitted with an ox gen depletion sensitive pilot.

MOST IMPORTANT: Before installing the stove, check that the burner data plate corresponds with the t pe of gas to be
used, ie. Natural Gas or LPG. Please make sure the customer is familiar with the initial lighting and operating procedures
before leaving the site and that this instruction booklet is left with them. Please check that the following components, deliv-
ered in 2 boxes, are included before ou start on the assembl :
ox 1: Burner Unit and coal or log set.
ox 2: Stove Bod inc. baffle and flue diverter and Allen Ke for locking door handle.
STANDARD LEGS: Attach the legs if required. It is suggested that the two
legs with fixing holes be fitted to the back of the stove, for neater appear-
ance. If the hearth is uneven, fit one or more extra washers between an leg
and the stove bod to lengthen it.

•Fix the stove down to the hearth, through the legs, using the screws and plugs provided.
CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY: Before ou install the stove make sure the chimne flue outlet is correctl positioned
to align with the flue outlet on the stove and that the chimne is in good condition. If not, a chimne liner must be installed
or a suitable class 2 gas flue used. A draught is necessar to ensure the products of combustion are full evacuated. The
stove must be installed in accordance with current gas and building regulations applicable. Connect and seal the stove
flue collar to the chimne using full depth of collar. A minimum of 610 mm (2ft) of vertical pipe should be established be-
fore the flue direction is changed, unless the stove is to be used with a fanned (powered) flue. The flue must have a mini-
mum height of 3 mtrs (10ft), however to ensure optimum performance we recommend 3.66 mtrs (12ft) or higher. The flue
must be free of obstruction and an dampers must be fixed in a permanentl open position. Ensure the chimne is not
closed and that it has been swept prior to the stove being installed. Make sure that rain, birds or an foreign bod cannot
get into the chimne to cause damage or a blockage. This problem can normall be overcome b fitting an approved Gas
Cowl. It is essential to the effective running of our stove that the chimne draws properl to allow the products of combus-
tion to escape.
GAS CONNECTION: The gas connection must be propert sized to provide the correct gas rate at the required running
pressure at the valve inlet, and the final connection to the stove is to be completed with a suitable 8mm diameter gas pipe.
It is essential that a gas isolation tap is provided upstream of the stove, in a position that is easil accessible.
GAS PRESSURE: Make sure that there is adequate gas pressure and volume to the stove. The relevant pressures are on
the data plate. Ensure that the gas pressure to the stove is maintained when it is operating at the same time as other ap-
pliances in the building. The burner gas pressure can be obtained b unscrewing the pressure test nipple on the valve and
appl ing a suitable pressure gauge i.e. a manometer. Before the coals or logs are placed in position make sure that the
burner is operating correctl . The flame should be fairl even across the burner top.
VENTILATION: Under normal circumstances no additional room ventilation is needed.
COALS OR LOGS LAYOUT: Refer to attached drawings
PRE-LIGHTING CHECKS
1. Ensure all the building work and flue sealing is complete.
2. Ensure the front fire bar is refitted in position.
3. Ensure all the coals or logs are correctl placed.
4. Close and secure the stove door.
5. Check that the stove door is completel sealed
6. Lock the stove door handle with the locking screw using ke .
To the installation engineer: Please look at the section on stove lighting and commissioning and go through this with the
customer.
SECTION 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CUSTOMER
Please go through this section with the installation engineer so that ou full understand all the basic operating and main-
tenance procedures for our stove. The engineer will be happ to answer our questions and give ou an help ou ma
need.
GENERAL NOTES: This stove is not for use with an solid fuels. It is onl suitable for Natural (mains) Gas or LPG (liquid
petroleum gas) when the correct burner is fitted.
PLEASE REMEM ER THAT WHEN THE STOVE IS ALIGHT IT IS VERY HOT - EXCEPT FOR THE CONTROLS- NEV-
ER TOUCH IT WITH YOUR ARE HANDS. The stove must not be touched when it is in operation. However, if ou do
need to do so after it has been turned off and before it has completel cooled down (usuall after about one hour) please
make sure that ou wear stout oven gloves.
Flue Spillage Safety Monitoring Device- A Safety Cut-Off System: All stoves are fitted with an Ox gen Depletion Sen-
sitive Pilot so that should the flue and/or chimne become blocked at an time the stove will automaticall cut off. Normall
the pilot can be re-ignited after waiting about five minutes for the sensor to cool down. but in the event of the s stem trip-
ping, have the flue and chimne checked b our installation engineer.

LIGHTING AND CONTROLLING THE STOVE: Remember that the stove is designed to be operated with the door se-
curel closed.
1. Near the stove will be the gas isolation tap. Turn this to the on position.
2. Between the front and rear legs on the right hand side of the stove ou will find the burner control knob.
When the stove is first operated it should be run at maximum for several hours to help the painted coating to cure. While
this happens slight fumes and smell ma be apparent, which ma linger for a week or so. This is normal and quite harm-
less. You ma prefer to keep the room ventilated until the curing process is completed.
A. SWITCHING ON/ IGNITION. Depress the control knob & turn counter clockwise. Gas will flow to the pilot burner. The
piezo igniter will give off a high voltage spark & the pilot burner will light. (More than one attempt ma have to be made on
first lighting the fire.) Keep the control knob depressed for approximatel 10 seconds, then turn the control knob full
counter clockwise to release gas to the main burner.
. CONTROL OF GAS FLOW. Turning the control knob clockwise reduces the gas rate from the maximum to the pre-set
minimum setting. Turning between maximum & minimum does not actuate the piezo igniter. The control valve can onl be
set on pilot b depressing the knob & turning it to the pre selected pilot position.
C. SWITCHING OFF WHEN IN PILOT POSITION. Press control knob and turn clockwise to off.
IMPORTANT - Interruption of Supplies. Should the stove burner cut out for any reason you should not try to re-
light it for at least 5 minutes. If you are then unable to re-light the pilot you should contact your stove supplier or
engineer. During normal operation, for example in the winter months when the stove will be in regular use, we advise that
the pilot is left running continuousl as this will allow for quick and eas lighting, while at the same time helping to prevent
condensation. When the stove is not being used for long periods, i.e. in the summer then we advise that the gas suppl is
turned off at the isolation tap.
CUSTOMER REMINDER: IT IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT THAT THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION AND
COMMISSIONING OF GAS FIRED STOVES IS CARRIED OUT BY A PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED AND ACCREDIT-
ED GAS FITTER. YOU MUST NOT ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF.
SECTION 3 - MAINTENANCE & SERVICING PROCEDURES
FUME SPILLAGE CHECK: This test must be carried out b the installation engineer, when the stove is first commis-
sioned, and we suggest thereafter ever 12 months to ensure that the products of combustion are not spilling into the
room. The test is carried out b running the stove for ten minutes and then holding a smoke match close to the diverter
box to make sure the smoke is drawn up the into the flue wa . Do not use a lighted match or a naked flame. The airflow
must be drawn to the chimne with sufficient draught. If the smoke is disturbed then repeat the test a few minutes later.
If the smoke is still disturbed b escaping products of combustion turn the stove off and contact our installation engineer.
SERVICING
For Safety And Efficient Operation servicing should be carried out annually by a qualified installation engineer.
When the stove is cold and the gas supply turned off at the isolation tap the following points should checked:
1. Remove all the coals or logs and clean an dust and debris from the top of the burner unit. Ideall a vacuum cleaner
should be used. but if not a soft brush will do.
2. Check the condition of the coals or logs. An damaged ones will affect the efficient operation of the stove and should
be replaced with new ones available from our stove supplier.
3. All gas joints should be checked for soundness, and the gas suppl and pressure checked as to specification.
4. Check that the pilot jet is correctl set and clear of obstruction.
5. The chimne should also be checked to make sure there are no restrictions or blockages.
6. Finall re-la the coals or logs and light the stove as described earlier.
PRO LEM SOLVING: It is important that the installation engineer is contacted to rectif an difficulties.
The gas pilot will not stay alight:
1. Ensure there is a gas suppl to the propert and that the isolation tap is in the "on" position.
2. Hold the control knob in the lighting position for at least 20 seconds once the burner is alight, to ensure adequate
heat operation of the safet thermocouple valve.
3. Make sure that the pilot injector is not obstructed or blocked and that it is free from dust or dirt.
4. Finall ensure that the thermocouple, a ver delicate electro-mechanical device, has not become damaged in
an wa . If it is damaged a replacement pilot assembl should be obtained and fitted b our installation engineer.
FINAL REMINDERS: It is a legal requirement that the stove is installed by a qualified and accredited installation
engineer. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury and/or damage to
property. If you are in the slightest doubt about any aspect of your stove's performance or you require additional
information then please contact your stove supplier or qualified installation engineer. At the risk of stating the
obvious, please do not store, keep or use petrol or any other flammable liquids, vapours or substances anywhere
near the stove or any other heating appliance.
We hope these instructions have been clear and helpful and you are now able to enjoy the full benefit of your
stove. If you have any queries or have found the instructions not as straightforward as you would like, then
please don't hesitate to call us. Any suggestions for improvements are most welcome. Please keep these instruc-
tions safe for future reference.
