OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

®

Congratulations on becoming the owner of a Charnwood Island
Stove. Your stove has been approved in smoke control areas to burn
wood logs if it is used in accordance with these instructions. It is very
important that you read and understand these instructions before
using the stove.

Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the work and
checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried
out correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free
from any obstructions. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared
flue system.

Remember that the stove will be hot and that it is made from hard
materials – ensure that you have good balance before operating the
fire. Always use the provided operating tool and gloves.

Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
There is a risk of explosion or flash ignition of the spray.

When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm
persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental
contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in
accordance with BS 8423:2002.

greatest efficiency and to maintain the life of the appliance.

Wood logs

Only dry well seasoned wood should be burnt on this appliance as
burning wet unseasoned wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits in
the stove, on the glass and within the chimney. For the same reason
hard woods (such as Ash, Beech and Oak) are better than soft
woods (such as Pine and Spruce). Burning wet unseasoned wood
will also result in considerably reduced outputs. The wood should be
cut and split and then left to season in a well ventilated dry place for
at least one year but preferably two years before use. Approximate
suitable log sizes are:

Island I - AP : 400mm(15in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter

Island II - BP : 440mm(15in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter

Log moisture content of less than 20% is recommended.

PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS
APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.

This stove is not designed to burn household waste.

The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.

FUEL

Please pay careful attention to the special points made with each
type of fuel as they will help you to get the best from your stove. It
must be remembered that only authorised fuels and wood logs may
be burnt in smoke control areas on this stove. If you are not sure
whether you are in a smoke control area, please check with your
Local Authority.

At first you may find it helpful to try several fuels to find the most
suitable. If you are unable to obtain the fuel you want, ask your
supplier, or an approved fuel distributor, to suggest an alternative.

Authorised Mineral Fuels

Authorised mineral fuels may be burned in smoke control areas on
this appliance. Your local fuel supplier or stove shop will be able to
advise you which fuels are available locally. A list of authorised fuels
can be found at:

https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php

Take care to only burn good quality fuels in order to obtain the

HETAS Ltd Appliance Approval only covers the use of Wood Logs
and Smokeless Fuels on this appliance.

MULTI GRATE

Your Charnwood Island is fitted with a multi grate to enable wood
or smokeless fuel to be burned and ash to be cleared. The grate has
two positions:

1) In the solid fuel position the grate bars are vertical with gaps in
between allowing the primary combustion air to come up through
the grate and through the fuel bed.

2) In the wood position the grate bars are horizontal, allowing the
combustion air to come round the sides of the grate and over the top
of it. When in the closed position ash is able to build up on the grate
as is necessary for effective wood burning.

Movement of the grate from one position to the other is effected
using the operation tool supplied as shown in Fig.1.

The grate is put into the solid fuel position by turning the operation
tool anticlockwise and pulling out the fuel selection slider shown
in Fig.1. The grate is put into the wood position by turning the
operation tool clockwise. To riddle the appliance the tool should be
moved between the clockwise and anticlockwise positions several

times. When burning wood the ash should be allowed to build up
and riddling should only be carried out once or twice a week.

RIDDLING

When burning wood, ash should be allowed to build up and only
riddled when the ash begins to cover the rear fireplate. The fire
should be riddled with the door shut (see Fig.2). Place the operating
tool onto the riddling lever and rotate between the open and closed
positions several times. Too much riddling can result in emptying
unburnt fuel into the ashpan and should therefore be avoided. After
riddling, the grate should be put back into the closed position for
burning wood.

silicon paint with which the firebox is painted reacts to the heat. This
is normal and will cease after a short time, but meanwhile the room
should be kept well ventilated.

At first only light a small fire and burn it slowly for two hours to allow
any residual moisture in the chimney to evaporate.

Light the stove using dry kindling wood and paper or fire lighters.
Put the paper, or fire lighters, and kindling in the firebox and cover
with a few small dry logs. Open the air control fully (see Fig. 3).
Light the paper or fire lighters. The door may be left cracked open
for a few minutes to assist the combustion and heat up the firebox
more quickly. When the kindling wood is well alight add a few more
small logs, close the door but leave the air control fully open. When
the flames are established around these logs, load the stove with the
required fuel load. Maintain the air control at maximum at this stage.
Once the fire is up to temperature the airwash system will begin to
work, so allow the fire to become hot before adjusting the air control
to the required setting. During the lighting period, do not leave the
stove unattended. Do not leave the door open except as directed
above to avoid excessive smoke.

When relighting the stove, leave the ash on the base if burning
wood, unless it is becoming too deep, in which case some of it may
be removed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

®

Open the air control fully (boost position) when lighting or when
rapid burning is required. It should not be left fully open for long
periods as this can cause over-firing or excessive smoke production.
For high output move the air control to the ‘click position’ or for low
burning to the fully closed position.

When the fire is burning normally the air control gives enough
airwash to keep the glass clean. However, it will not always be
possible to keep the glass clean with the air control fully closed. For
correct firing we recommend the use of a stove pipe thermometer
which may be purchased from your supplier or from Charnwood.

The Charnwood Island is fitted with an air control stop for use in a
smoke control area. This stops the stove from burning too slowly.

REFUELLING

Keep the firebox well filled but do not allow fuel to spill over the top
of the fuel retainer.

Logs should be evenly distributed, filling the firebed to give the most
pleasing flame pattern. The air control must be fully opened after
refuelling until the flames are established above the fire. It is best to
refuel on to a hot bed of embers. If at this point the fire starts to die,
the door must be cracked open until the fire is revived. If the fire has
started to die down before refuelling, then more kindling wood must
be added, the air control opened fully and the door cracked open
to re-establish the firebed before adding larger logs (see suitable log
sizes in Fuel section). This will avoid excessive smoke emission.

Care should be taken, especially when burning wood, that fuel does
not project over the fuel retainer or damage to the glass may be
caused when the door is closed. It can also cause the glass to blacken
up. Maximum filling height is such that logs cannot fall from the fire
when the door is opened.

Ensure that the tool is fully engaged before lifting (See Fig.4). When
carrying the ashpan, it should be kept horizontal and supported by
the carrying handle to prevent it falling off the tool. Please avoid
emptying hot ash into plastic liners or bins.

The Ashpan should be emptied regularly before it becomes too full.
Never allow the ash to accumulate in the ashpan so that it comes in
contact with the underside of the grate as this will seriously damage
the grate bars.

To make ash removal easier there are ash carriers available. These
may be purchased from your supplier or, in case of difficulty, from
Charnwood.

REDUCED BURNING

For reduced burning the fire door must be closed.

When burning wood in areas that are not smoke controlled, load
some large logs on the fire and allow to burn for half an hour before
closing the air control (this will help to reduce tar deposits in the
chimney). Some experimentation may be necessary to find the
setting most suitable for the type of fuel being used and the draw on
the chimney.

In smoke controlled areas do not fill the stove above the level of the
air holes in the back bricks, as overloading can cause excess smoke.

Do not operate with the door left open except as directed by the
instructions as this can cause excessive smoke.

ASH CLEARANCE

For optimum wood burning, it is important to leave a layer of ash
around 1cm thick on the base of the stove. Before removing ash
ensure that it has cooled down,

The ashpan is handled using the operation tool and gloves provided.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

The stove is finished with a high temperature paint which will
withstand the temperatures encountered in normal use. This may
be cleaned with a damp lint-free cloth when the stove is cold. Should
re-painting become necessary, high temperature paints are available
from your supplier or from stove shops.

Cleaning the Glass

Most deposits on the glass may be burnt off simply by running the fire

7

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

®

at a fast rate for a few minutes. If it becomes necessary to clean the
glass then open the door and allow it to cool. Clean the glass using
a damp cloth and then wiping over with a dry cloth. Any stubborn
deposits on the glass may be removed with a proprietary stove glass
cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads
as these can scratch the surface which will weaken the glass and cause
premature failure

When Not in Use

If the fire is going to be out of use for a long period (for instance in
the summer) then to prevent condensation, and hence corrosion, the
air control should be left fully open and the fire door left ajar. It Is also
advisable to sweep the chimney and clean out the fire. Spraying the
inside of the door and firebox with a light oil, such as WD40, will also
help to keep all internal parts working well. After long periods where
the fire has been out of use, the chimney and appliance flueways
should be cleaned before lighting.

Door Seals

For the fire to operate correctly it is important that the door seals
are in good condition. Check that they do not become worn or
frayed and replace them when necessary.

Servicing

of the remaining side brick and can be gently lowered. Any sooty
deposits should then be swept from the throat plate and into the fire.

To return the throat plate to its correct position- At an angle, insert
the throat plate so that it sits on top of either the right or left side
brick. Raise the opposite side and slide so that the throat plate is
central and supported by the side bricks. Slide back so that the throat
plate rests neatly on the top of the back bricks. Refit the remaining
side plate.

The Island II - BP throat plate consists of two firebricks which rest
on the central bracket (part BP077) and the two side bricks. The
central bracket rests on top of the rear bricks and slots into the hole
at the top face of the stove between the airwash tubes. To lower the
throat plate bricks, push a brick up towards the topmost corner of
the stove, and lower down diagonally.

The Island II -BP also has an upper baffle plate that rests centrally on
top of the air wash tubes and locates into the hook at the top of the
front of the firebox.

(Island II - BP only)

It is recommended that the fire is serviced once a year to keep it in
first class working order. After cleaning out the firebox thoroughly,
check that all internal parts are in good working order, replacing
any parts that are beginning to show signs of wear. Check that the
door seals are in good condition and that the doors seal correctly. A
servicing guide is available on request. Repairs or modifications may
only be carried out by the Manufacturer or their approved agents.
Use only genuine Charnwood replacement parts.

THROAT PLATE AND FLUEWAY CLEANING

It is important that the throat plate and all the stove flueways are kept
clean in order to prevent potentially dangerous fume emission. They
should be cleaned at least monthly, and more frequently if necessary.
It is necessary to let the fire out to carry out these operations.

To remove the throat plate, first remove the fuel retainer (item ‘e’
page 4) and one side fire plate to allow enough room so that the
throat plate clears the sides of the fire box when removed.

Slide the throat plate forwards so that it clears the back brick, then
slide it either right or left so that the opposite side clears the top

Throat plate

CHIMNEY SWEEPING

Where the chimney previously served an open fire, it is possible
that the higher flue gas temperature from a stove may loosen soot
deposits 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.

The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. Where the top
outlet or vertical rear flue connector is used it will generally be
possible to sweep the chimney through the appliance.

First remove the fuel retainer and the throat plate. Then sweep the
chimney ensuring that soot is removed from all horizontal surfaces
after sweeping.

In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the appliance

8

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

®

the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot
door. After sweeping the chimney the appliance flue outlet and the
flue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with
a flue brush.

After clearing any soot from within the stove, replace the throat
plate (see Fig. 5 ) and the fuel retainer.

Different types of sweep’s brushes are available to suit different
flueways. For prefabricated insulated chimneys the manufacturers
instructions with regard to sweeping should be consulted.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Fire Will Not Burn

Check that:

a) the air inlet is not obstructed in any way,

b) chimneys and flueways are clear,

c) a suitable fuel is being used,

d) there is an adequate air supply into the room,

e) If an extractor fan is fitted, that it is not causing lack of flue draft
when operating.

f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney. Once the chimney is warm
a draught reading of at least 1.25 mm (0.05 in.) water gauge (12Pa)
should be obtained.

Blackening of Door Glass

Differences in chimney draughts mean that the best settings of the
air controls will vary for different installations. A certain amount of
experimentation may be required, however the following points
should be noted and with a little care should enable the glass to be
kept clean in most situations:

If blackening of the glass still occurs check that all flue connections
and the blanking plate are well sealed. It is also important that the
chimney draw is sufficient and that it is not affected by down-draught.
When the chimney is warm a draught reading of at least 1.25 mm
(0.05 in.) water gauge (12Pa) should be obtained. Some blackening
of the glass may occur below the level of the fuel retainer. This will
not obscure the view of the fire or affect its performance.

Fume Emission

Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will
not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling
may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the
following immediate actions should be taken:

a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave
the premises.

b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of the fuel from the appliance.

c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.

d) Do not attempt to re-light the fire until cause of fuming has
been identified, if necessary seek professional advice.

The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney
blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean.

Fire blazing out of control

Check that:

a) The door is tightly closed.

b) The air control slider is fully closed.

c) A suitable fuel is being used.

d) Door seals and airwash slide are intact.

Chimney Fires

a) Wet or unseasoned wood, or logs overhanging the front fence will
cause the glass to blacken.

b) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean,
therefore, when lighting the stove allow the firebed to become well
established before closing the air control. This may also be necessary
when re-fuelling the stove.

c) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front fence as
possible, do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox.

d) Do not completely close the air control.

It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the
stove very slowly for long periods.

If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires
should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur close the air
control, and tightly close the door of the appliance. This should cause
the chimney fire to go out in which case the controls should be kept
closed until the stove has gone out. The chimney and flueways should
then be cleaned. If the chimney fire does not go out when the above
action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately.
After a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully examined for
any damage. Expert advice should be sought if necessary.

CO ALARM

Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the

9

appliance. If the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions
given under “Warning Note” above.

IF YOU NEED FURTHER HELP

If you need further help with your Charnwood then your Installer
will be able to provide the answers to most questions. Your Local
Charnwood Premier Dealer has a great deal of experience and will
also be able to provide helpful advice. Further help is available from
the Charnwood Customer Services department who will be pleased
to give advice, if necessary.

UNPACKING THE STOVE

The stove arrives bolted and strapped to its pallet. There must be
adequate facilities for unloading and manoeuvring into position The
wrapping is first removed, then the stove released from the pallet by
removing 4 pallet bolts using a 10mm spanner. The pallet brackets
can now be removed from the stove by tilting it and using a 13mm
spanner to remove the bolts. The Stove may now be moved to its
final position. The pallet is intended to be cut up and used for kindling
fuel.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please take care when installing the stove that the requirements of
the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are met.

Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to
come into contact with the skin. In case of contact wash with plenty
of water.

If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please use appropriate protective equipment.

Ideally there should not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room
as the appliance. If this situation is unavoidable then specialist advice
should be taken to ensure that the extractor fan does not cause the
appliance to emit fumes into the room. The external air kit will help
with this in some situations. Alternatively, an additional air supply
correctly positioned may be necessary. It is essential to carry out a
spillage test to ensure that the appliance can operate safely when the
extractor fan is operating.

There must be an adequate air supply into the room in which the
appliance is installed to provide combustion air. The combustion air
supply must be via a permanently open vent. The requirement for
minimum free area is partly dependent on the design air permeability
of the house. In older properties the air permeability will be above

5.0m³/(h.m²), but in some modern properties it may be less.
The vent must be positioned such that it is not liable to blockage.
Minimium areas are given in the following table:

ISLAND I - AP ISLAND II - BP

A fixed ducted air supply may be used as an alternative to the
traditional method of using a permanent open vent into a room to
supply air for combustion.

External air supply kits are available please contact Charnwood for
more information. Instruction sheet ref: TIS 120

This stove is capable of intermittent operation, and is not suitable for
use in a shared flue system.

In addition to these instructions the requirements of BS.8303 and
BSEN 15287-1:2007 must be fulfilled. Local Authority Bylaws
and Building Regulations, including those referring to national and
European Standards, regarding the installation of Solid Fuel burning
appliances, flues and chimneys must also be observed.

CO ALARMS

Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement
fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling
a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as
the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon
monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the
alarm manufacturer’s instructions. Provision of an alarm must not
be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly
or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and
chimney system.

CHIMNEY

In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily the chimney
height must not be less than 4 metres measured vertically from the
outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney. The internal dimensions
of the chimney should preferably be 150-200 mm (6”- 8”) either
square or round and MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 125 mm (5”) ­Island I - AP, 150 mm (6”) Island II - BP.

If an existing chimney is to be used it must be swept and checked,
it must be in good condition, free from cracks and blockages, and
should not have an excessive cross sectional area. If it was previously
used by an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month
after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due
to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire.
If you find that the chimney is in poor condition then expert advice
should be sought regarding the necessity of having the chimney lined.
If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a lining suitable for
Solid Fuel must be used.

If there is no existing chimney then a prefabricated block chimney
or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BSEN 15287-1:2007
can be used either internally or externally. These chimneys must be
fitted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and Building
Regulations.

Single wall flue pipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney
but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney. If it is found
that there is excessive draw in the chimney then a draught stabiliser
should be fitted.

It is important that there is sufficient draw in the chimney and that the
chimney does not suffer from down-draught. When the chimney is
warm the draw should be not less than 1.25mm (0.05”) water gauge
(12 Pa). If in doubt about the chimney seek expert advice.

the flat front of the stove by 185mm - Island I, 222mm - Island II - BP.

If in doubt as to the positioning of the stove, expert advice should be
sought either from the supplier or the local building inspector. The
fireplace must allow good circulation of air around the appliance to
ensure that maximum heat is transferred to the room and also to
prevent the fireplace from overheating. A gap of 150mm (6”) each
side and 300mm (12”) above the appliance should give sufficient air
circulation. If a wooden mantelpiece or beam is used in the fireplace
it should be a minimum of 460mm (18”), and preferably 600mm
(24”) from the appliance. In some situations it may be necessary to
shield the beam or mantelpiece to protect it.

In order for the fire to operate correctly and to allow for access,
there must be an air gap behind the appliance of at least 50mm, but
be aware that this distance will need to be greater in some cases to
meet Building Regulation requirements.

The appliance should be installed on a floor with adequate load­bearing capacity. If an existing construction does not meet this
requirement then please take suitable measures to achieve this. (e.g.
load distributing plate.)

CONNECTIONS TO FLUES

The stove must be connected to the flue using flue pipe of 125mm
(5”) diameter - Island I - AP, 150 mm (6”) Island II - BP.

The flue spigot can be shielded with starter length flue see fig. 3

HEARTH AND FIRE SURROUND

The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth and must not be situated
closer than the minimum distance from combustible materials (see
specification table) to the sides or rear above hearth level unless
adequately fireproofed in accordance with local building regulations.
The hearth must be of fireproof material and at least 12mm (1/2in.)
thick. The positioning of the stove and the size of the hearth are
governed by building regulations for Class 1 appliances. These
building regulations state that the hearth must extend in front of the
stove by at least 225mm (9 in.) and to the sides of the stove by at
least 150mm (6 in.). When the fire door is open, it extends beyond

Top of stove

This may be stainless steel, cast iron, or thick wall steel pipe.
Charnwood Pipe to match the stove is available if required.

There are several ways of connecting the stove to the flue. These are
illustrated in Figs. 6 to 9.

If the top flue connection or optional vertical rear flue connector is
used then the chimney may be swept through the appliance.

Horizontal lengths of flue must be kept to a minimum and should not

12

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

be more in length than the flue diameter.

The stove comes with the blanking plate (fig. 10) fitted to the top
flue outlet. The seal for the top outlet is a 155mm dia ring of rope
seal. The seal for the rear outlet is a length of adhesive backed
fibre webbing supplied with instructions ref: TIS093. This is applied
to the flue collar or the Vertical Rear Flue adapter for rear outlet
installations. For top outlet installations, the blanking plate must be
removed, have the webbing fitted to its sealing face, and fitted to
the rear flue outlet. Ensure that the fold on the clamping plate is
in line with the lugs on the firebox as shown in Fig 10. Ensure that
the clamping plate does not prevent the throat plate from seating
correctly. All flue connections must be well sealed.

It is possible to pass a 16 inch diameter sweeps brush through the
appliance but in most back outlet installations it will be necessary to
have a soot door to enable the chimney to be swept. The optional
vertical rear flue connector does allow the chimney to be swept
through the stove. Soot doors may either be in the actual brickwork
of the chimney or in the register plate. Various positions of soot
doors are shown in Figs. 6 to 9.

PRE LIGHTING CHECK

Ensure that the throat plate is fitted in the roof of the appliance. The
location and positioning of the throat plate is shown in Fig. 5.

Check that the front fence is fitted correctly and that the door closes
properly.

COMMISSIONING

On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for
the fire cement and mortar to dry out before lighting the fire. Make
a layer of ash or sand on the base of the stove before lighting. Check
to ensure that smoke and fumes are taken from the appliance up
the chimney and emitted safely. Also check all joints and seals. On
completion of the installation and commissioning please leave the
operating instructions with the customer and advise them on the use
of the appliance.

CAA AND SMOKE CONTROL

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).

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 Island I - AP has been been recommended as suitable for use in
smoke control areas when burning wood logs. The stove includes
a factory-fitted modification to the air control to prevent complete
closure of the air supply. Suitable Authorised fuels can also be burned
within Smoke Control Areas. A list of Authorised fuels can be found
here: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php.
