2.Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces or other heating appli- ances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-draft whether or not there is combustion present.

3.Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.

4.The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapour barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has any powered devices that exhaust house air. (e.g. Extraction Hood or Tumble Dryers etc..)

5.There is excessive condensation on win- dows in the winter.

6.A ventilation system is installed in the house.

If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air is inadequate, additional combustion air should be provided from the outdoors. Outside combustion air can be provided to the appliance by the following means:

1.Direct connection: Refer to O.S.A. Hook-up in this manual.

2.Indirect method: for an appliance not certified for direct connection of outside combustion air, the outside air is ducted to a point no closer than (12”) 300mm from the appliance, to void affecting the performance of the appliance.

3.A mechanical ventilation system: if the house has a ventilation system (air change or heat recovery):

a.The ventilation system may be able

to provide sufficient combustion make-up air for the solid-fuel-fired appliance.

b.The householder should be informed that the ventilation system might need to be re-balanced by a ventilation technician after installation of the appliance.

SPILLAGE TEST

1.Light/burn appliance under normal condi- tions in accordance with this installation manual.

2.Close all doors and windows.

3.Operate all appliances requiring a full rate (eg. extraction hoods, tumble dryers etc).

4.Check for spillage.

LIGHTING

1.Lay a few crumpled sheets of paper on the hearth, then a few small sticks or kindling to get the fire started. Open the fire door and light paper. Close the door and open the pri- mary air control ALL THE WAY. The fire will catch the kindling quickly, after which a full size log may be placed on top. After the log

has caught fire adjust the primary air settings to suit the heat requirements.

2.The logs will burn slowly towards the rear of the fire chamber and the rate of burning is adjustable at all times by means of the pri- mary air settings. The more air (wider open ing) the faster the burning. Do not overfire the stove. If the stove or chimney connector glows, you are overfiring the stove.

3.When the fire is reduced to embers, open the door and carefully rake the embers towards the front of the fire chamber and reload with logs. After fuelling the stove hold the fire door (part number 6) cracked open for 3-5 minutes to enhance combustion, close the fire door (item 6) and adjust the Primary air settings to give the required heat output.

4.Keep all combustible materials at least three feet away from the stove and connector pipes. Never dry clothing on or over the stove or within three feet of it.

5.Use the main top of the stove for boiling, sim- mering etc. You will soon learn the best ways and means of using the stove in order to attain maximum efficiency.

6.Disposal of Ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or oth- erwise locally dispersed, there should be retained in the closed container until all cin- ders have thoroughly cooled.

7.Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal when wood is burned slowly, it pro duces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form cre- osote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow- burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

Inspect the chimney connector frequently. Tap the connector with your finger when the pipe is cool. If you hear a dull echo, the pipe may need cleaning.

Disassemble the chimney connector and clean the sections. Replace corroded pipe sections. The fit- ting of a slip-joint in the stove pipe makes the dis- mantling easy for cleaning and inspection of chim- ney and stove.
