The liner must be safely and securely connected to the outlet pipe of the stove. And your chimney or liner must be swept
at least once each heating season and in accordance with local regulations.
Your fireplace
If cement mortar has been used on the inside or outside of the fireplace during construction or installation then a period of
at least 7 days should be allowed before operation to prevent the cement cracking when drying out. The stove will smoke
slightly when first lit. These are fumes from the high temperature paint curing and baking hard. The house should be well
ventilated during the curing period, which will last approximately twenty minutes. During this period the paintwork of the
stove should not be touched. Only an appliance fitted by an accredited installer guarantees compliance with architectural
and fire prevention regulations. These rules must be followed to ensure the correct and safe operation of the stove. The
flue is extremely important when fitting the stove. Be sure to consult authorised specialists about the connection to ensure
compliance with local building regulations. Bear in mind the following:
The appliance door must be closed when in use and also when not in use.
There must be an adequate supply of fresh air when the appliance is in use.
Fire safety measures relating to combustible or temperature sensitive floor surfaces:
A fire resistant, non combustible covering must be fitted under and around the stove. This must be at least 15cm thick.
No combustible materials should be stored underneath the appliance (e.g. firewood).
The safety distances from combustible or temperature sensitive objects, given in the table of technical characteristics,
must be adhered to.

5. COMBUSTION AIR

Contrary to a normal fireplace the stove uses very little combustion air. In most houses entry of fresh air through gaps in
doors and windows is sufficient to provide this air. However, in houses that are well insulated this may not be sufficient. If
so, a ventilation grille should be set into an outside wall near the stove to provide additional combustion air. The combus-
tion air consumption of your particular stove can be found in the technical characteristics. Take account of other heating
appliances or air outlet installations in the same area or on the same combustion air connection. If needs be the total
combustion air consumption for the room(s) should be calculated. If 15 minutes after lighting the fire there is still a
backdraught of flue gases due to weather conditions (e.g. fog, storm) stop lighting the fire until the weather improves. Tip:
be sure to take account of extractors which might be connected in the vicinity of the stove. These create negative pres-
sure, which can lead to disruptions in the supply of combustion air. Any escape of combustion gas is potentially lethal and
can damage the health of the people living in your home.

6. RUNNING IN YOUR STOVE

Run your stove in slowly. Your first fires should be made with a small amount of wood and a gentle flame, allowing the
stresses in the metal to dissipate and the entire installation to dry out. Even after running in your stove, never make
intense, prolonged fires. Little extra heat output is achieved and you risk damaging your stove.

8. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR

Place the handle supplied into the hole provided in the door catch (D). Pull handle towards you to open the door and push
away from you to close the door. The stove surfaces can become very hot. Use temperature resistant gloves at all times.
9. COMBUSTION PRINCIPLE
The stove is designed so that full of wood, with a slow flame, it will burn at maximum efficiency for several hours. The
stove can be made to burn overnight, very slowly, with little or no flame. This is not advisable because this incomplete
combustion creates extra smoke, which, upon condensation, deposits tar on the stove, chimney and glass panel. An
accumulation of such tar deposits is not only unsightly but also requires regular chimney cleaning to prevent chimney
fires. If you are burning wet or green wood then the Combustion Air Control should be left open enough to ensure the
creation of a slow, gentle flame.
Radiant heat
This is given from the hot embers and stainless steel and vermiculite back panels. The radiant heat is transmitted through
the glass panel into the room and heats the immediate area in front of the stove.
Convection heat
Cool air enters via the cold air inlet, (A). It then passes along the base of the stove up the back and over the top before
being expelled from the primary hot air outlet, (B). This convection air reaches the farthest corners of the room. Its flow is
accelerated by means of a fan installed within the cold air inlet and at the back of the stove.
