Introduction

May we take this opportunity to thank you for choosing one of our stoves. These appliances are designed to burn wood logs and wood derived fuels. It is essential that your wood has been seasoned to ensure that it is sufficiently dry for burning. You can determine the moisture content of your logs by using a digital moisture meter, your logs need to be below 20% moisture content before they are considered dry enough for burning.

Never burn wood that contains paint, glue or any other chemicals See the section “Lighting the Stove” for further details. After reading this document, if there

is anything you are unsure about, please contact your dealer or our Technical Support Department.

These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority By-laws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.

It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS 6461 and BS 7566 as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved Document J.

Please note that it is a requirement under the Broseley Fires warranty system that the installation of the stove is carried out by a Competent Person registered with a Government approved Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their Registered Competent Persons can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk

Hearth Requirements & Clearances

Your stove must be installed on a solid, level non combustible hearth. The hearth does not need to be constructional but must be at least 12mm thick. The hearth protrusion in front of the stove to carpets or wooden floors must be at least 300mm. As it is possible for fuel to fall out on opening the door, a fender must be fitted if the hearth is flush with the carpet.

These are just a few hearth specifications. Please refer to Building Regulations Approved Document J (Hearths) for more specific details.

Clearances to combustibles are detailed in the diagram below. 300mm above and 100mm to the side must be obtained to any flammable material such as wooden surrounds for example. These figures are based on the fact that the stoves forward projection is no more than 150mm.

Chimney Requirements

This appliance must not be fitted into a chimney serving another heating appliance. It is most important that there is no obstruction in the flue or chimney. Please ensure that any existing chimney is clear of obstruction and swept clean immediately before installation of the new stove. If the chimney has been used for an open fire it is recommended that it be swept for a second time having been used for a month following installation.

A flue draught minimum of 12 Pascals to a maximum 16 Pascals is required for satisfactory appliance performance. A properly built masonry or factory constructed chimney (with a minimum vertical height of 5 metres) should ensure a consistent draught (draw).

The flue draught should be checked under fire at high output. If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer/stockist or engineer. If your flue draft is below the minimum recommendation then it may be necessary to increase the vertical chimney height, add additional flue insulation or possibly add a special cowl to the top of the chimney (e.g. anti down draft cowl to eliminate wind induced down draft).

The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J.

If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross section may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice, if necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.

If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.

The stoves flue spigot is designed to accept a 6” / 150mm diameter pipe, it is possible to connect the flexible liner to the spigot using self tapping screws. If no flexible liner is present, the stove will need to be securely sealed into the fireplace opening (see section “Assembly” for further information).

For sweeping purposes it is possible to sweep through the appliance, however you will need to remove the internal baffle(s) to do so (see section “Assembly” for further information).

MS11-11 Issue 3 8

Page 9

Combustion Air Requirements

In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary in modern houses where drafts have been almost eliminated by double glazing etc.

Under UK building regulations any appliance over 5kW MUST have a fixed permanent air vent (see building regulations approved document J for further information).

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room. It is necessary to install a wall vent to provide the necessary combustion air and to prevent the depletion of oxygen in the room.

MS11-11 Issue 3 9

Assembly

Smoke Exempt modification. With both the Evolution 4 &

7 when it comes to installations in smoke control areas, you will need to adjust the secondary air intake to ensure permanent combustion air.

You will need to remove the six screws holding the rear steel cover in place, once you have removed the cover you will be able to see the mechanism fixings as shown. The fixings indicated will need to be removed and re-fixed one position to the right (one at a time).

Liner Connection

Unbolt the flue spigot from the stove (done by removing the internal baffle to access the fixings). Connect and seal the 150mm diameter flexible flue liner into the flue spigot, this can be done by screwing the liner using the 2 holes located in the spigot. Extra care should be taken to ensure an air tight seal between the liner and the spigot. (additional rope and or fire cement may be required).

Finally insert the stove into the fireplace and connect the flue spigot to the appliance by means of the 2 bolts supplied. The spigot fixings are accessed from the inside of the stove.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS STEP IS COMPLETED AFTER FIRST SITING THE STOVE AND ENSURING SECURE POINTS ARE MARKED AND OR DRILLED.

Un-lined Chimney Connection

If the chimney is not being lined it is important that the stove is securely sealed into the opening (a gas tight seal to BS 8303-1). A 12mm self adhesive rope is supplied to assist with this, however additional sealant may be required to ensure a sound seal. The seal needs to continue at hearth level as well as sides and top.

MS11-11 Issue 3 11

Page 12

Assembly

With both the Evolution 4 & 7 insert stoves, several fixing points are provided for ease of installation. The fixing points will come sealed using a bolt and nut, which simply need to be removed from the appropriate fixings.

Screws/fixings are not provided with the stove as these will need to suit the hearth and surround material.

Controls Layout

The diagram below shows the position of the air controls, these controls need to be operated correctly to control the combustion rate of the stove.

The top air control is classed as the “Secondary Air Intake” as it brings air in above the grate. The lower air control is classed as the “Primary Air Intake” as it brings air in below the grate.

See the following section for a more detailed description of how this control works.

MS11-11 Issue 3 15

Page 16

Controls Explained

Fire needs air to burn therefore the stove is fitted with air controls that allow you to regulate the amount of combustion air therefore controlling the burn rate within the appliance.

Secondary Air Intake

The secondary air intake is located on the top of the stove, it is in the form of a slider. Having the slider pushed to the right indicates that the air intake is in the closed/minimum position and to the left indicates it is in the fully open/maximum position.

In smoke controlled areas you should fit the smoke exempt washer behind the control, this will prevent the control from fully closing.

Air entering through this control is directed through the holes in the rear firebrick and also down the inside of the glass creating the AIRWASH system – see below. The air wash system allows the glass to remain soot and particle free. This control is used at initial lighting and to control the burn rate of your wood.

The sections LIGHTING THE STOVE & BURNING WOOD give a step by step guide on how to operate this control.

Primary Air Intake

The primary air intake is located below the door and is also in the form of a slider. Having the slider pushed to the right indicates that the air intake is in the closed/minimum position and to the left indicates it is in the fully open/maximum position.

The primary air intake is used at initial initial lighting to provide additional air to heat the chimney/flue.

Air wash System

Air wash is a system where secondary air is drawn into the stove (by combustion) through the secondary air control and is deflected down the back face of the glass, thus preventing the smoke coming into contact with the glass. It does not mean that you will never have to clean the glass, but substantially lengthens the periods between having to do so. The airwash system works best when burning dry wood. Wet wood will produce more deposits on the glass. Also, deposits will form on the back of the glass when the stove is operated on low heat for extended periods (where fuel is only just smouldering).

MS11-11 Issue 3 16

Page 17

Recommended Fuels

The HETAS Ltd. appliance approval along with approval in a smoke controlled area only covers the use of the following fuels in this appliance:

• Wood logs not exceeding 20cms in length and 8×8cm thick. The fuel must not

contain halogenated organic compounds or heavy metals as a result of treatment with wood preservatives or coatings.

Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the suitable fuels listed above, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels.

Do NOT burn wet wood, This will give a poor heat output and will cause heavy deposits of soot and tar to accumulate on the glass and throughout the stove and flue. The coating of soot and tar in the chimney is volatile creating a high risk of chimney fires. A growing tree contains a high percentage of water, the wood needs to be dried out (seasoned) before it is suitable for burning (this can take several years). Wood logs are best stored in a stack, sheltered from the weather, in a well ventilated area and raised off the ground. This allows the air to circulate and prevents mildew.

Do NOT burn pallet wood or wood containing paint, glue or other chemicals. Burning this type of wood will result in damage to the appliance, any such damage will not be covered by the products warranty.

MS11-11 Issue 3 17

Curing

On initial firing you will notice a very pungent odour, this is caused through the curing of the paint, we recommend starting with short burning sessions (with smaller quantities of fuel) and build up gradually to allow the components of the stove to settle. Opening doors and windows will allow the paint curing odour to dissipate and to allow ventilation into the room. Curing times can vary but typically should take around 8-12 hours (operation at high output) to complete.

Kindling

Stage 1 With the Primary and Secondary air intakes in the fully open position and the door open, start your fire using twists/balls of newspaper. Form a bed on the grate using the newspaper (or place several fire-lighters), then add a generous amount of dry kindling onto the newspaper. Ensure their is sufficient air gaps between the kindling (a criss cross or pyramid style pattern is ideal to accomplish this).

Kindling -----------

Newspaper -------

Stage 2 Ignite the paper underneath using a match or suitable fire-lighter. Allow the paper and kindling to burn until it reduces down into hot embers. If the fire is dying during this stage the door can be closed but not latched leaving a small gap for extra combustion air.

Stage 3 Add another generous load of dry kindling and allow to burn down.

It may be necessary to repeat stage 3 if the chimney is cold or if you find you have smoke entering the room. This stage is vital for getting heat into the chimney which will create the draw that takes the smoke away, we would expect this stage to take between 15-20 minutes.

It is critical that you do not leave the stove during the entire lighting and kindling stage. See Burning wood section for the next steps in the sequence.

MS11-11 Issue 3 18

Page 19

Burning Wood

Once you have kindled your stove (see previous page) and your chimney (flue) is sufficiently heated and a large base of burning embers is present, you are ready to start adding you logs.

Stage 4 Place 1-3 small logs onto the bed of hot embers using the gloves provided, close the door but leave both air intakes in the fully open/maximum position. Allow the logs time to fully ignite and turn black then close the primary air intake fully (leaving secondary fully open).

Stage 5 Once the smaller logs have burned down you can now add 2-3 larger (or full size) logs. Leave the secondary air intake fully open until the new fuel turns completely black. You can now close down the Secondary Air Intake as required. You will now need to control the burn rate of the stove using the secondary air intake. You are looking for a controlled flame (not smouldering in the embers or licking around the lid) this is mostly visual although a flue pipe thermometer will help you determine the amount of air required and is recommended for the initial lightings.

Stage 6 Refuel as and when required. Take care to open the door gradually as flames may lick out and always use the gloves. Try to avoid closing the Secondary air control fully (as this will cause the stove to fill up with smoke) If you no longer want to keep the fire going simply allow it burn out.

Please note this is the standard lighting/ignition sequence, however there are some changes to this when burning in a smoke control area. Please see “Smoke Exempt Requirements” on the following pages.

MS11-11 Issue 3 19

Smoke Exempt Requirements

The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas

Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any 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" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).

The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances 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 appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.

Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:

http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/

Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements

The eVolution Inset Wood burning stoves have been tested by GASTEC under the PD6434 standard and have passed the emission requirements for exemption under the Clean Air Act. Subsequently it has been exempt for use in smoke control areas when burning wood only. Below are detailed operation techniques that must be adhered to

at all times when burning in a smoke control zone.

MS11-11 Issue 3 20

Page 21

Smoke Exempt Requirements

eVo 7 Inset - Ignition

The procedure adopted for ignition is to build a bed of embers in stages with the objective of

warming the stove as quickly as possible. Firstly, a double handful of kindling (equivalent to the

weight of about 1 kg) should be lit with chemical fire-lighters. The primary air and secondary air

controls must be fully open at this stage. The fire door needs to be pushed against the latch but

not closed, leaving a gap of a few millimetres. After about 8 minutes, with the fire bed dying back, 3

half sized logs (total weight about 1.2 kg) should be added with the air controls unaltered. After approximately a further 2 minutes, when these logs are well alight the door and primary air supply can be closed. Then allow the fire to burn down to embers with the secondary air supply maintained at maximum, at which point the ignition sequence is deemed to have ended.

Evo 7 Inset - Refuelling

The refuelling procedure adopted for the PD6434 tests allows the newly charged fuel to burn with

the door set on the latch but not closed, the primary control set fully open for 1 2 minutes and the

secondary air set in the required positions necessary for the various outputs. After 1 2 minutes,

with the logs burning well, the door and primary air supply needs to be closed but the secondary air control position can remained unaltered. The tertiary air supply is maintained with its permanent opening throughout.

Evo 4 Inset – Ignition

The procedure adopted for ignition is to build a bed in stages and to warm the body of the appliance and the chimney as quickly as practicable. Firstly kindling, weighing approximately 1 kg will need to be lit (using a chemical fire-lighter is recommended) with the air control fully open. The door must be pushed against the appliance but then left ajar. After about 10 minutes, when the fire from the kindling is beginning to die back, two small logs can be added. When these are alight and fully blackened, the door can be closed. This, typically, takes approximatel y a further five minutes.

When the fire is again beginning to die back, a full load of two logs, weighing about 1.3 1.4 kg, can be added: typically this takes 20 – 25 minutes from the start of the ignition sequence. The Secondary air control must be maintained in its fully open position for the remainder of the ignition sequence. Once the fuel has blackened the fire can then be allowed to burn down to a suitable condition at a preferable air slider position. For start of further re fuelling apply sequence in the previous 2 sentences.

Evo 4 Inset – Refuelling

There is a requirement for the door to be left ajar for 3 minutes immediately after refuelling. This is

to ensure that flames are well established on the newly charged logs and that they become fully blackened. Additionally, for medium and low output burning, the Secondary air contro l must be Maintained at 100% open for the first 3 minutes after refuelling at which time it is possible to adjust to the required settings as identified above. The primary air intake is not required at this stage.

MS11-11 Issue 3 21

Smoke Exempt Requirements

FURTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1. It is important to follow these instructions in order to achieve clean burning and to

maximise the efficiency from the stove

2. Do not leave the fire unattended after refuelling until flames are well established

on the newly charged logs

3. Refuelling on to a low fire bed If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed

to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke

4. Fuel overloading The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not

be exceeded, overloading can cause excess smoke.

5. Operation with door left open Operation with the door open can cause excess

smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.

6. Dampers left open Operation with the air controls or dampers open can cause

excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air controls or dampers door left open except as directed in the instructions.

MS11-11 Issue 3 22

Warning Notes

Over-Firing

It is extremely important that you do NOT leave the air control in the fully open position for extended periods or run the appliance with the door open. Leaving the air control fully open (or running with the doors open) will lead to “over-firing”. Over-firing is caused when too much heat is generated within the fire chamber, this will lead to warping, buckling and general damage to the stove and its internal components. Over-firing can also be caused by an excessive flue draft.

PLEASE NOTE ANY DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE CAUSED THROUGH OVER-FIRING WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

Fumes

Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes may occur whilst de-ashing and re-fuelling. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken:-

a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room b) Let the fire go out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been

Identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice

Firebricks

Vermiculite is an industry recognised robust fireproof material which is used by many stove manufacturers to produce internal firebox linings (firebricks). With care vermiculite firebricks will give many years of faithful service.

It is important that care is taken whilst refuelling your stove in order to protect the internal vermiculite parts from premature failure.

Never throw or drop logs into your stove as this will potentially damage your firebricks and may also result in logs bouncing out of the appliance (creating a possible fire risk). Open the door an inch initially (allowing the fire to settle) then slowly open the door and gently place the log(s) onto the grate. Always use the glove (provided) when refuelling to avoid the common scenario of dropping the logs in quick (because it’s hot).

Take care when clearing the ash and using the poker tool not to strike and potentially damage your firebricks.

Always take care when removing the firebricks to avoid damaging them. It may be necessary to remove the firebricks during general maintenance and chimney sweeping.

Impact damage is the most common cause of cracked vermiculite firebricks; however it is also

possible to crack the firebricks if you over fire your appliance.

MS11-11 Issue 3 23

Maintenance

Ash Removal

The ash pan can be removed by using the ash tool to hook out the grate so that you can grasp the pan using the gloves provided. We would recommend emptying the ash into a metal bucket for transportation.

You should only empty the ash when the appliance and ashes are completely cool and can be disposed of in your normal household refuse.

Chimney Fires

In the event of a chimney fire ensure both Primary and Secondary air controls are fully closed and the door(s) remain closed at all times. If the chimney fire does not go out or if there is a serious risk to people and property, call the fire brigade immediately.

Regular sweeping of the chimney will remove combustible particles and will reduce the risk of chimney fires.

Cleaning the Stove We recommend only doing this when the stove is cold using a soft brush to clean a ny of

the stove surfaces, this is normally sufficient to remove dust, ash and debris. For stubborn marks you can use a damp lint free cloth, ensure that all surfaces are dried off immediately. We do not recommend using any kind of chemicals or abrasive materials. It is possible to touch up the paint using the original metallic black stove paint, however this new paint will then need to cure.

Glass Cleaning

A damp lint free cloth is normally sufficient, however for stubborn build ups we would recommend using a very fine wire wool.

Chimney Sweeping

It is essential that your chimney (flue) is swept at least once a year by a registered professional chimney sweep. Sweeping removes particles that could otherwise fuel a chimney fire, it should also highlight any potential issues such as leaks and damage to the flue.

Stove Servicing

Your stove should be inspected annually to ensure all seals are present and correct and to gauge the condition of the internal firebricks. The service should be done by a HETAS registered engineer who also perform a spillage test.

MS11-11 Issue 3 24

Trouble-shooting

Smoke comes out of the stove when the loading door is opened.

• The chimney cavity into which the 150mm flue pipe has been installed may be less than the minimum requirement.

• Deposits (soot or other obstructions) may have built up in the chimney and be restricting the flow of waste products. This flow rate is known as the ‘draw’.

• Insufficient draw, this is especially common during milder weather. You will need to prolong the kindling stage to ensure the chimney (flue) is completely hot (you may even need to pre-heat the chimney using a method advised by the installer)

• Combustion air intake is not large enough or another appliance (e.g. Extractor fan) is taking air away from the sto ve.

The Stove does not produce the expected heat into the room.

• Has the flue pipe been sealed to the chimney to prevent heat being drawn up the chimney to waste?

• Green or wet wood is being burnt.

• The chimney has excessive draw (this is unusual). Seek installer advice with

regard to installing a Flue Draught Stabiliser.

• The stove has been recessed into the existing fireplace and a lot of heat is being absorbed by the surrounding fireplace walls rather than being radiated into the room. Pull the stove forward.

• For the maximum efficiency of heat transference into the room the stove should be sited on the hearth of the fireplace rather than recessed.

The Stove burns too fast.

• Use whole logs rather than split ones.

• The wood being used may be generally too small.

• The “air-tight” seal between the fibre rope on the doors and the casting may

have been lost, adjust door handle lock nuts to reinstate this seal or replace.

• The chimney has excessive draw (seek installers advice on this point).

• The fibre rope seal between the door and the glass may be leaking. Tighten or

replace.

• The fibre rope on doors and glass has worn out. Replace.
