2. Component Identification and Assembly
Your stove comes packed in a plywood crate. Carefully remove the straps and lift
off the upper crate. Remove any plastic packaging, open the door and remove all
the contents. THE DOOR HANDLE MAY BE PACKED ON TOP OF THE BAFFLE
PLATE – REACH THROUGH THE TOP SPIGOT OPENING TO FIND IT. See List of
Components section and check contents carefully.
2.1 To remove the baffle plate, first remove the two stainless steel side firebox liner clips
by lifting them above the fuel retainer. Remove the two firebox side liners. Now
remove the firebox rear liner. Handle & store very carefully to one side where they
will not get broken.
2.2 Remove the front fuel retainer by lifting up and rotating until it can be lifted through
the open door of the firebox.
2.3 Now the baffle plate can be removed by lifting off its supports and bringing out
through the firebox door opening.

2.4 Fit the flue spigot collar to the top or rear outlet (as required for the installation)
using the 4 x M6 set screws and washers supplied. Use 3mm ceramic gasket
provided or fire cement to seal.
2.5 Fit the blanking plate to the opening that is not required for use using the 4 x M6 set
screws and nuts provided. Thread each nut on to the screw first and then insert the
screw through the fixing hole into the blind hole in the blanking plate until tight. Now
screw up the nut on the thread to compress the gasket and seal the blanking plate to
the stove. Use 3mm ceramic gasket provided or fire cement to seal.
2.6 Now proceed to install the stove according to these instructions and current
installation standards or HETAS advice. The internal parts of the stove can be reassembled as the reverse of the previous removal instructions.
3 Installation Instructions
3.1 WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
3.1.1 READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION!
These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure 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 local regulations including Building Regulations, Local
Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations including UK or EU standards referred
to as they affect the installation of the stove. Approved Document J is particularly important for
England and Wales and can be downloaded for no cost at:
http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/professionals/en/4000000000503.html Also of
importance are Approved documents L1 A and B conservation of fuel and power. The Domestic
Heating Compliance Guide will also be found useful.
In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS 8303 and BS EN 15287 must be fulfilled.
The installation is a notifiable building works as defined in the building regulations and that it is a
legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the installation is either
carried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or is installed 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 .
3.1.2 Important Chimney Warning
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
3.1.3 Extractor Fan Warning
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. If unavoidable the appliance must be
checked with A.D. 1.21 and necessary action taken.
3.1.4 Cleaning and Chimney Sweeping
The appliance, flue & chimney must be cleaned and checked internally and
externally regularly in use and especially after a period of disuse (e.g. after
summer). Lift down the baffle at least weekly to check for build up of soot or debris on
the top from the flue pipe. A slot is provided in the front edge of the baffle plate for the
multi tool to prevent the need to get hands dirty doing this job. Remove the baffle and
check the flue spigot and connector is fully clear at regular intervals. The chimney and
flue connector must be swept at least annually, more often when used with sooty fuels
or damp wood. A wire centred sweeps brush with guide wheel is recommended. Any
loose, broken or leaking joints or flue ways MUST be repaired immediately.
4 Juno & Vulcan Issue 01 06/13
3.1.5 Fuels
Only use recommended fuels which are seasoned (or kiln dried) wood logs or
smokeless briquetted fuels. The appliance can be damaged by burning petroleum coke,
liquid fuels or general rubbish and this will invalidate your warranty and risk your
personal safety. The appliance must not be used as a rubbish incinerator.
3.1.6 Maintenance
Annual checking and servicing of the appliance and flue by a competent engineer is
recommended.
3.1.7 Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is ESSENTIAL for the safe and efficient operation of any solid fuel
or wood burning appliance. Ventilation MUST be provided where required by the stove
output or flue under-performance. Keep all ventilation clear and free of blockage. SEE
VENTILATION in INSTALLATION section.
Health And Safety Precautions
Special care must be taken when installing this stove to meet all requirements of
the Health & Safety at Work act.
3.1.8 Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for unloading and site handling. Cast Tec Stoves
are very heavily built so always ask for assistance when lifting and siting the stoves.
3.1.9 Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact
with the skin. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.
3.1.10 Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the
course of installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate
protective equipment.
3.1.11 Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove, proper care should be taken to avoid the
possibility of personal injury.
4.0 Installation Information
4.1 Chimney
The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to Building
Regulations. Minimum chimney height is 4.5m. Check that the chimney is in good
condition, dry, free from cracks and obstructions. The diameter of the flue should not be
less than 150mm and not more than 200mm. If any of these requirements are not met,
the chimney should be lined by a suitable method. The chimney must be swept before
connection to the stove.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is
possible that the higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that
were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore
recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular use
after installation.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local
dealer/stockist or chimney specialist. If there is no existing chimney then either a solid
