ASBESTOS: This stove doesn't contain asbestos or cadmium but be careful to
avoid disturbing dangerous materials when removing an old installation.
FIRE EMENT is caustic - wash our hands thoroughl after using it.
WEIGHT: Tiger is heav . Protect our spine b moving the stove onl with
assistance - do take care to make sure that the floor has adequate load-bearing
capacit and consider fitting a load distributing plate if necessar
FUME EMISSION: Properl installed and operated this stove will not emit fumes
into the dwelling. Occasional slight fumes from de-ashing and refuelling might
occur, but persistent fume emission is potentiall dangerous and must never be
tolerated. If fume emission persists, then immediatel
(a) open doors and windows to ventilate the room. (b) let the fire go out or eject
and safel dispose of fuel. (c) check the flue for blockage and clean if required.
(d) do not attempt to re-light the fire until the case of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected. If necessar seek expert advice
THE HIMNEY
YOUR HIMNEY. This stove must be connected to a single, dedicated chimne ,
which, b becoming hot inside creates the draught which makes our Tiger work -
it must:
Generate a draught in use of at least 12Pa (0.05ins wg)
Be capable of withstanding the temperatures generated.
Be full sealed and incapable of leaking fumes into the dwelling
This will commonly be achieved b it:
Being at least 5m high.
Terminating at least 1m above an roof ridge.
Having an internal cross-section not less than 0.018m² (eg 150mm dia) and
never more than 0.14m² (eg 375 x 375mm)
Being free from even the slightest crack or source of leakage.
Having no bends sharper than 45º.
Being entirel free of obstructions and swept b a qualified chimne sweep.
Being connected onl to this one stove.
Being of thick (100mm+) masonr or otherwise adequatel insulated.
Conforming to local building regulations.
Special rules appl where the flue passes through timber, thatch or other
vulnerable materials- take specialist advice.

ASSEMBLY
LEGS: Attach the legs. If the hearth is uneven, fit one or more
washers between an leg and the Tiger bod to lengthen it. Fix the
Tiger down to the hearth through the legs using the screws
provided. You can get optional: Long legs (add 120mm height) or
'Americana' warming shelves (total stove width; 765mm)
FITTING
HEARTH: The Tiger must be fitted onto a non-combustible hearth
providing protection for at least 150mm to each side and 250mm in
front. The Tiger has a thermal barrier plate underneath and will not
raise hearth temperature above 100°C so a light dut hearth ma be
used, conforming to our local building regulations. There must be
no unprotected combustible material, including fuel, within 55cm.
Where these distances can't be met, protective materials are
available.
FLUE ONNE TION: The Tiger can be connected to the chimne
(using approved flue pipe components) in several wa s, two of
which are shown here. Whichever method is used it is imperative
that: (1) The route for gases from the Tiger to the chimne terminal
is completel air-tight; seal all joins with fireproof cement and/or
heatproof rope. (2) It is possible to sweep the entire length- access
doors ma be required. (3) The entire construction is of durable
fireproof materials- composite board is not a suitable material for
closure plates, which should be of steel or concrete. The Stove
should be secured to the hearth b screwing through the fixing holes
drilled in the legs.
Top outlet through full -sealed
steel closure plate (fitted with
cleaning door) into old,
oversized, chimne with steel
sealing collar.
Top outlet with 45 degree bend
sealed into masonr chimne
with cleaning door on opposite
side. Shown with direct air
suppl kit
AIR SUPPLY: Your Tiger needs air to breathe - it must have
permanent fresh air from outside the building available through a
vent equal to 550mm² for each kW of nominal output. This
ventilation can sometimes be provided b air leaking through small
gaps and cracks in the building (it is commonl accepted that this
alone can often suffice for stoves below about 5kW) but in an case
of doubt, fit a purpose-made
air vent. Consider the
possibilit that an extractor fan,
or another fuel-using
appliance, elsewhere in the
building can pull air out.
The optional 'Air Suppl Kit'
connects our Tiger direct to
the outside through a sealed
flexible tube and a unique
'lab rinth gasket' which
delivers the correct amount of
air for perfect combustion,
along with a trickle of clean,
fresh, warmed air to the room
and the abilit to remove stale
air, without draughts.
O DETE TOR: arbon Monoxide is a poisonous gas,
produced by this stove. Fit a O alarm near the stove.
LIVING WITH A TIGER
STOVES GET VERY HOT! Use
the glove or the handle provided
to move hot parts and controls.
OPENING THE DOOR This
stove is designed to be operated
onl with the door closed. Open
the door slowl when refuelling or
de-ashing to minimise fume
emission.
LIGHTING Empt the ashes.
Place two or three firelighters
close together, or screwed-up
paper covered with dr sticks, at
the back of the grate and light
them. When the are burning
well gentl fill the fire very full
with dr fuel, close the door and
set the air control slide to the 'high' position.
FILLING: Don't fill the Tiger above the level shown here.
ONTROL How fast the fire burns depends on how much air
reaches the fuel. The Tiger has two air controls, one below the
window ('primar '(1)) and one above ('airwash' (2)) Move the slides
to the left for highest output, to the right for 'low'.
Our tests indicate best performance on wood with the primar
control all but closed and the airwash 1/3 open. Anthracite works
best with the airwash closed and the primar 1/3 open. But the best
settings will depend on our fuel, air suppl and flue draught and
can onl be found from experience.
EMPTYING ASHES Stir the fire with a poker. Use the tool to lift out
the ashpan. Remember to let ash cool before disposing in plastic
sacks or dustbins. There is no need to empt ever last speck, but
ash should never be allowed to build up so that it comes into contact
with the underside of the grate.
EXTENDED BURNING Allow the fire to burn down to a low, hot
firebed. Set the air control to 'low', empt the ash and full fill with
hard fuel such as anthracite (smaller sizes are best).
LEANING Wipe the stove bod with a slightl damp cloth when it
is cool, don't use abrasives, metal polish or 'cream' cleansers as
the can scratch the surface. Polished parts can be brightened
using wire wool. Operating the Tiger for a few minutes at high output
will usuall burn-off an window deposits left b tarr or wet fuels.
After a period of use tin hairline cracks ma appear on the window,
this is not a fault but is a characteristic of the toughest and most
heat-resistant material currentl available.
FUELS
This stove is designed to principall burn dr wood logs. It can also
burn a wide range of other low-smoke fuels
SMOKE ONTROL: In certain areas special rules appl to reduce
smoke nuisance. Check with our local authorit .
WOOD onl emits as much carbon to the atmosphere as the tree
took in when growing, so wood is considered the 'carbon neutral'
fuel. When wood is cut down its cells are full of water. Burning such
wet or 'green' wood wastes heat in making steam and produces

flammable, acidic tars which will cling to, and rapidl damage, our
stove and chimne . Split logs will t picall take two ears to become
reasonabl dr , round logs much longer. Cracks in the ends, a
hollow sound when tapped and bark falling awa are all signs that a
log ma be read for use. The fine, white residue produced when
wood burns is not ash, but the remains of cell walls which can burn if
kept hot enough, so don't de-ash a fire until absolutel necessar
when using wood.
For best performance, and alwa s for low smoke emission:
●Split logs lengthwa s for dr ing
●Use logs no bigger than about 100mm x 250mm
●Ensure logs are absolutel dr (less than 20% moisture)
●Fill the Tiger criss-cross, so air can circulate between logs.
●Fill 'little and often'
●When first lighting, or reviving a fire from embers, use onl
ver small, thin, dr , sticks.
●When refuelling, add a log and allow the flames to 'catch' and
begin flaming before full closing the door, then...
●Keep the door firml closed in normal operation.
●Don't overfill the firebox – see the diagram.
JOINERY WASTE Dr wood offcuts will burn well, but don't expect
softwood waste to burn as cleanl or for as long as hardwood logs.
ANTHRA ITE (Smokeless) is a natural hard, shin form of coal.
Slow to light, it can burn for ver long periods with great heat.
Despite its high price-per-bag it generall works out to be one of the
cheapest of all fuels. Use the 'small nuts' size.
PEAT: Like all fuels, needs to be ver , ver dr .
BRIQUETTES Are compressed blocks of fuel. T pes made from
plant materials such as straw or wood waste are ver variable..
Mineral t pes, often in an 'egg' shape, are generall able to burn
with ver little smoke for long periods, but beware of 'econom '
versions which ma contain harmful sulphur.
DO NOT USE... dust materials like sawdust, the burn far to
violentl . Don't use non-authorised 'smokeless fuels' or 'petcoke' -
these are often made with dangerous high-suphur oil waste and will
rapidl damage our Tiger. Don't use raw bituminous coal,
sometimes sold as 'Polish Coal'. These products, though cheap,
rarel represent value for mone .
HOUSEHOLD WASTES Some plastics give off toxic fumes when
burned and remember that batteries and aerosols explode! The
Tiger is definitel not an incinerator, so onl ever use the
recommended fuels and NEVER use liquid fuels in an form.
PROBLEMS
Problems like those listed here are usuall due to some difficult
with the installation, chimne or fuels, so please check back through
this leaflet carefull . If necessar seek specialist advice.
SMOKE FROM THE HIMNEY It is quite normal for a little smoke to
be emitted from the chimne when the fire is cold, so, start the fire
using onl a ver little fuel. Use onl VERY dr fuels.
DAMAGED LINERS Your Tiger gets ver , ver hot inside, it is quite
usual for the replaceable liners to crack or craze. The need onl be
replaced when the have almost completel disintegrated. Help
them last longer b using onl very dry fuel.
POOR HEAT OUTPUT: A stove can heat a t pical room of about
12m³ volume for each kW of output, so a 5kW model can heat up to
(12 x 5) 63m³, a room of about 5m square. The actual size depends
on the insulation, dampness and ventilation of the room. To attempt
to heat a larger room will result in excessive fuel consumption and
damaging overheating.
LA K OF ONTROLLABILITY This stove is designed to alwa s
burn enough to eliminate smoke - adjust the heat output b how
much fuel ou put on, as well as b using the controls.
DIFFI ULTY BURNING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS This stove is
not designed for non-stop burning but for quick heat-up and on-off
use. Longer burning can be achieved onl using ver hard fuels
such as anthracite.
ONDENSATION onto cool surfaces inside the stove can be severe
if fuel is in an wa damp. Use only very dry fuel.
OVER-FIRING: It is possible to leave the fire too long with the
controls set too high leading to 'over firing', seen as glowing metal
parts, excessive chimne temperature and risk of parts failing or
chimne fires. Alwa s set controls to the lowest practical setting.
SMOKE OMING INTO ROOM Fumes are poisonous- smoke
emission must NEVER be tolerated, causes might be:
NEW STOVE: There is often a smell and sometimes visible fumes
as the paint cures. This normall stops after an hour or so.
INADEQUATE SEALS: Are all flue pipes and connectors absolutely
gas-tight? Even the tiniest crack or gap can spoil the draught.
BLOCKED FLUEWAYS: Has soot and ash collected above the inner
back part of the firebox?
UNSUITABLE, BLOCKED OR UN-SWEPT CHIMNEY: The first
requirement for correct operation is a sound chimne . Check the
requirements earlier in this document and in an case of doubt
engage a professional sweep or chimne engineer.
POOR AIR SUPPLY: Lack of air to the fire is a common cause of
smoking and poor performance. Air suppl problems ma be worse
in certain wind conditions (often incorrectl ascribed to
'downdraught', which is in fact ver rare), where air can be sucked
out of the room. The answer is to fit an air vent, as near to the fire as
possible, facing into the usual wind direction.
DOWNDRAUGHT: Wind can blow down a chimne if there is
something higher nearb such as a tree, hill or high building. Fitting
an anti-downdraught cowl to the chimne top can cure this. T pes
which cannot be swept through are not recommended.
POOR CHIMNEY DRAUGHT- Chimne draught in use MUST be at
least 12Pa.
HIMNEY FIRE: In the rare event of deposits inside the chimne
igniting (roaring sound + dense smoke and sparks from the
chimne ) immediatel close the door, shut all air controls and call
the fire brigade. Prevent fires b using very dry fuel and having our
chimne swept regularl .
MAINTENAN E
MONTHLY- LEAN THE INNER
BAFFLE and HE K THE DOOR
SEALS The inner baffle is a metal
plate inside the roof of the Tiger (see
diagram) With the stove cold, lift off
the inspection hatch to remove,
clean and inspect the baffle and
carefull check for blockages.
Check that the door seals are
undamaged, (replacing them if
necessar ) and that the full seal
against the stove bod .
ANNUALLY- SWEEP THE
HIMNEY The entire length of the
chimne from stove to outlet should
be swept annuall b a qualified
chimne sweep.
REFURBISHMENT Should the stove
bod become scratched or dull, repaint it onl with heat resistant
paint supplied for the purpose and onl when the fire is completel
cold.

This stove ma be used in smoke control areas when burning wood logs and smokeless fuels but not petroleum coke
United Kingdom: The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities ma declare the whole or part of the district of the authorit to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a
chimne of a building, from a furnace or from an fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use
within a smoke control area unless it is used in an "exempt" stove ("exempted" from the controls which generall appl in the smoke control area).
The Secretar of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt stoves for use in smoke control areas in
England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland)
Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and
that stoves used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted b an Order made and signed b the Secretar of State or Minister in
the devolved administrations. This stove 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 at http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/ Your local authorit is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including
designation and supervision of smoke control areas and ou can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements
