(available from Euroheat Part No: MS9045).

Some so called “Heat Proof” mastiks will only stand a temperature of 300°C before they

start breaking down. In many cases they may give off an obnoxious smell at temperatures

much lower than this which will persist and become apparent each time the stove is lit.

Since April 2002 only Registered Competent Engineers may install solid fuel ﬁred appliances without involving

the Local Authority Building Control Department. For more details contact HETAS. (Contact details page 3)

IMPORTANT

 The installation of this appliance must comply with all local regulations, including those referring to

national and European Standards before it can be operated. The stove is not suitable for a shared ﬂue. However,

for England and Wales, only, the coming into force on 1st April 2002 of SI 2002 No 440 exempts the householder

from this legal requirement for the installation of solid fuel ﬁred appliance whose rated heat output is 50kW or

less in a building having no more than 3 storeys (excluding any basement) if a Competent Engineer is employed

who is registered under the Registration Scheme for Companies and Engineers involved in the Installation

and Maintenance of Domestic Solid Fuel Fired Equipment operated by HETAS Ltd. These registered Competent

Engineers may also carry out associated building work necessary to ensure that the installed appliance complies

with Building Regulations without involving the Local Authority Building Control Department.

 Improper adjustment, alteration, maintenance or the ﬁtting of replacement parts not recommended by

the manufacturer can cause injury or property damage. Do not operate the stove with faulty seals or damaged

glass.

 Due to the high operating temperatures of this appliance it should be located away from pedestrian trafﬁc

and away from furniture and draperies. Do not store paper or wood near the appliance. Any mats and rugs put

in front of the stove should be ﬁreproof and secured to prevent the possibility of tripping.

 Advise all persons as to the stove’s high surface temperatures. If it is possible for children or inﬁrm adults

to come into contact with the stove, ﬁt a suitable ﬁre guard.

 It is imperative that all air passageways into, out of, and within the appliance are kept clean. All permanent

ventilation into the room provided for the stove must remain clear and unobstructed at all times. Consideration must

be given to the need for extra ventilation if another heating source needing air is to be operated simultaneously.

If an extraction fan is proposed to be ﬁtted to a connecting area of the house, after the stove has been installed,

professional advice should be sought from a qualiﬁed engineer.

 The user should be advised that the appliance should be inspected regularly and the chimney cleaned at

least annually. More frequent cleaning may be required and the advice of a qualiﬁed chimney sweep should be

sought.

 Our range of stoves is capable of operating with outstanding efﬁciency if the ﬂue system is correct.

Because so little heat is wasted to the ﬂue it is possible that moisture within the products of combustion will

condense if the heat losses within the ﬂue way are too great and allow the ﬂue gasses to cool. For this reason we

recommend that the stove is ﬁtted with a suitable ﬂue liner, the same diameter as the ﬂue spigot, to prevent the

possibility of acidic damage to the fabric of the chimney and damage to the stove which will reduce the longevity

of the stove.

 When correctly installed, the stove is designed to produce heat, safely. It cannot do so if the installation

is less than absolutely stable, constructed of materials suitable for such an installation and consideration has not

been given to the possibility of people with less than ideal common sense operating it.

 Have the existing chimney swept by a chimney sweep. Although you will be lining the chimney, any

deposits left in the chimney will cause problems and may become a ﬁre hazard.

 Your attention is drawn to the precautions and responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Acts,

and whatever new legislation being introduced during the life of this document.

Preparation of Existing Fireplace

The old grate, the ﬁre shield and ﬁre back should be removed. The hearth and surrounding masonry work should

be inspected for soundness and any remedial work undertaken if required. The hearth should be level to give a

stable base for the stove to be placed on. The opening should be measured to ensure that it can accommodate

the stove, see aperture size on page 5.

Ensure that clearances to any combustible materials surrounding the aperture conform to those on page 11.

Housing Construction, without an Existing Chimney Breast

If the property has no existing chimney or chimney breast the ﬁrst consideration will be the positioning of the

ﬂue. Taking the ﬂue to the roof internally through the property will involve complying with many regulations

and even an external ﬂue may be subject to planning regulations. Because there will be no existing structural

hearth, this will need to be constructed following the strict Building Regulation requirements. For these reasons

we cannot recommend that anyone without the necessary experience constructs the housing and ﬂue system for

a multifuel insert stove.

Insulation

Steel support

Lintel

Insulating board

Insulating blocks

Because the temperatures reached by the stove’s top and side panels may reach over three hundred degrees

Celsius all materials used for constructing the housing must be both non-combustible, stable at high temperatures

and insulate any part of the building which may be affected by heat. It should be borne in mind that insulating

materials only limit the rate of heat transference from the heated surface to the unheated surface and if the

dispersal of heat from the unheated surface is less than the rate of heat transference the entire body of insulating

material will reach an almost uniform temperature.

The insulating properties of many modern houses are extremely high and many external walls are now constructed

with an inner skin of plasterboard, supported on a wooden frame which is thermally insulated from the outer

skin of brick. Having such a low thermal conductivity makes it impossible to use the outer wall as the back of the

stove’s housing unless a means of ensuring that non of the heat from the stove is transferred to the house wall.

Whilst this may sound daunting the reward will be a vast increase in heating efﬁciency.

The Flue

It is possible to remove the top chamber bafﬂe to access the ﬂue for cleaning. The ﬂue MUST be lined. Directly

from the ﬂue spigot a minimum of 300mm of solid stainless steel ﬂue pipe must ﬁtted prior to the ﬂexible ﬂue

liner. Bends can be utilized to achieve the correct position.

Installation of Flue Spigot to Flue Pipe

The ﬂue spigot is mounted internally within the top of

the stove retained by four bolts, see picture below.

The top chamber bafﬂe may be in place and will

need to be removed to gain access to ﬁt the ﬂue

spigot. This bafﬂe is held in place by two bolts and

the bafﬂe MUST be replaced once the ﬂue has been

connected.

There is a small lenth of self-adhesive rope, supplied

with the stove, which should be ﬁtted around the

outside of the ﬂue spigot to form a seal when the

spigot is ﬁtted to the stove.

A physical retention method MUST

be used at the ﬂue spigot joint with

the ﬂue pipe, self tapping screws

being favoured, and ensure that all

joints are sealed with a suitable ﬁre

resistant sealant we recommend

Fraxﬁll (available from Euroheat Part

No: MS9045).

Some so called “Heat Proof” mastiks

will only stand a temperature of

300°C before they start breaking

down. In many cases they may

give off an obnoxious smell at

temperatures much lower than this.

The Hearth and Fire Surround

Whilst the existing regulations require the hearth to protrude in front of a solid fuel appliance by a minimum

of 250mm we strongly recommend that this distance should be 300mm. These rules make provision for the

protection of the property in the event of burning fuel falling from the ﬁre, but the height of the ﬁre bed in an

open ﬁre or conventional stove is not very high and as the horizontal distance any falling item travels is, amongst

other factors, dependant upon the height from which it starts, it should be apparent that anything falling from an

insert stove positioned with its ﬁre bed one meter above the ﬂoor will have the impetus to travel further across

the ﬂoor than the regulations allowed for. A hearth having an edge lip is preferable to a simple ﬂat hearth in its

ability to reduce the hazard but because no hard and fast rules can be given you have to assume that Murphy’s

Law which states that “If it can, it will” applies and any combustible ﬂooring should be kept well out of range of

the likely and even unlikely range of falling embers.

Germany has a long tradition of stoves called “Kachelöfen”, which are stoves built into a tiled structure that acts as

a heat store. The insert stove installed within its brick or block housing will behave in much the same way, using

the bricks as a heat store. Although the brickwork will never become excessively hot it will become very warm

if the stove is kept burning at a high rate. For this reason anything attached to the wall will also become very

warm. This may cause damage to oil paintings and cause accelerated ageing in photographs and we advise you

to restrict the pictures you hang on the walls of the stove housing to those which are of limited importance.

There has been a revival of interest in all forms of real ﬁres and ﬁre surrounds of every possible style and

material now abound but sadly not all are built to the highest standards or with materials best suited to the

high temperatures they will be subjected to. The minimum distances given in the drawing below will ensure

the surround will be subjected to safe temperatures but it will not guarantee that a ﬁre surround made from

unseasoned wood will not shrink. If stone is to be used in any part of a ﬁre surround it is important that both

the shape and ﬁxing allow for the stone’s expansion as its temperature rises. Failure to make provision for the

uneven expansion a ﬁre surround will inevitably result in the stone cracking, in general the stone surround should

comprise of four or more sections.

Minimum distance from extreme of stove

front frame to any combustible material

above the stove is 300mm and to the sides

200mm. This includes wall coverings such as

wallpaper.

All ﬁre surrounds must be suitable for a real

ﬁre.

All stone must have provision for uneven

expansion.

A non-combustible hearth must be provided in

front of the stove to a minimum of 300mm.

A ﬁre guard must be ﬁtted if children or inﬁrm

adults are at risk of coming into contact with

the stove.

Minimum Air Setting

The minimum air screw should be adjusted to supply the maximum air setting, by screwing it in a clockwise

direction until the shutter is fully open when resistance to further turning will be felt, before the stove is lit for

the ﬁrst time. The facia plate will have to be removed to access the adjustment screw.

If this stove is intalled in a smoke exempt area the minimum setting air bleed ﬂap must be

permanently set to a minimum opening of 14.5mm, which is the ﬂat open to maximum.

This facility of having an adjustable minimum air setting provides a positive repeatable air setting that will give

the lowest burning rate at which the stove will continue burning when the ﬁring rate control is turned to its

minimum position. It will also give a small feed to the air wash when the stove is burning coal, not enough to

risk damage to the grate, but enough to help keep the glass clean. It is also an important safety feature. If the

stove has been burning with a constant air supply it has been generating and burning the volatile gasses from

the fuel. If the air supply is abruptly and completely removed the ﬁre will extinguish but the release of gasses will

continue for some time. These gasses will be above their ignition temperature and may potentially ignite all at

once if they come into contact with air. The constant air bleed that the small ﬂap allows will keep some of these

gasses burning and prevent sudden ignition whilst the generation of gasses reduces.

Adjustment

If it is found that the ﬁre burns for only short periods while set to the “0” position it will be most likely that the

ﬂue draught is high. Commonly found in tall or excessive sized chimneys.

To extend the burning cycle the minimum ﬂap can be adjusted to allow less air to enter at low settings. Adjust

the ﬂap to give your required settings.

The facia plate will have to be removed to access the adjustment screw. Any adjustment should be only undertaken

by the commissioning engineer or under direction from the Euroheat Technical Department.

Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to decrease the minimum air setting.

Important

Never operate the stove with the minimum air setting set to its closed position. If the stove

will be burning wood in a smoke control area the minimum air setting shutter must remain

fully open at all times.

Firebox Components

Removal of the Top Mica Bafﬂe Plate

The top mica bafﬂe is located in the top of the ﬁre box where it sits

on the L shaped bafﬂe support lugs which are part of the casting of

the left and right side protection plates. For easier access remove the

front fuel guard. To remove (1) slide the bafﬂe board towards the rear

of the ﬁre box (2) whilst lifting the rear of the board upwards. Once

the front of the board has passed the end of the L shaped support lug

(3) the front can then be dropped down and the bafﬂe pulled down

into the main body of the ﬁre box. It can then be angled to withdraw

it through the door.

To reﬁt the replacement reverse the procedure.

Removal of the Upper Protection Plate

The upper protection plate is held in place by the two side protection

plates. To remove (1) lift up the plate and then (2) draw it towards

the front of the ﬁre box.

As it is drawn forward (3) pull the front edge downwards so moving

it free of the side protection plates. It can then be angled within the

ﬁre box to withdraw it through the door.

To reﬁt the replacement reverse the procedure.

Removal of the Side Protection Plate

To remove (1) lift up the plate so it is higher than the lugs on the

lower side protection plates and then (2) draw it towards the centre

of the ﬁre box.

As it is drawn towards the centre (3) twist the rear edge towards

the front of the ﬁre box. It can then be angled within the ﬁre box to

withdraw it through the door.

To reﬁt the replacement reverse the procedure.

Removal of the Rear Protection Plate

To remove (1) lift up the plate so it is higher than the lugs on

the grate frame and then (2) draw it towards the centre of the

ﬁre box.

As it is drawn towards the centre twist the edge towards the

front of the ﬁre box. It can then be angled within the ﬁre box

to withdraw it through the door.

To reﬁt the replacement reverse the procedure.

Removal of the Grate

To remove (1) lift up the grate so it is higher than the grate

frame and then it can be withdrawn from the ﬁre box.

To reﬁt the replacement reverse the procedure (2) ensuring

that the lug on the bottom of the grate locates in the riddle

arm.

Removal of the Grate Frame

With the bafﬂe plate, log guard and side protection plates

removed. Lift out the two cast iron bottom protection plates

from either side of the grate frame. The grate frame can

then be lifted out of the stove. When reﬁtting the cast iron

bottom protection plates ensure that the lugs are upwards.

Removal of the Top Chamber Bafﬂe

The top chamber bafﬂe will need to be removed to gain

access to the ﬂue for sweeping, also when ﬁtting the

ﬂue system and ﬂue spigot if ﬁtted to the stove when

delivered.

It is secured to the top of the stove by two stainless steel

bolts. It MUST be replaced after sweeping.

Failure to ﬁt this bafﬂe will cause reduced performance

and may eventually damage the stove.
