Installation Instructions

General

These instructions give a guide for the installation of the stove but
in no way absolves the installer from responsibilities to conform

to all relevant standards relating to the installation of solid fuel

appliances.

We recommend that for UK installations a HETAS registered

installer should be used, who will be able to give a Certicate of
Compliance that installation complies with Building Regulations.

In Ireland a registered installer from the Irish Nationwide Fireplace

Organisation should be used.

Please note that to the best of our abilities these instructions are
correct at time of printing, however we cannot be held responsible
for any differences in legislation which may occur in the future.

Assembly of the stove

The stove is bolted to the crate by the legs to prevent damage
during transportation. Unscrew the xing bolts (see ‘A’ Fig 2) to
release the crate before placing the stove in the desired location.
The bolts can be re-used to stabilise the product for uneven oors.

To make the product easier for handling on installation, remove
the liner bricks, bafe plate, grate bars and ashpan. Place these
in a secure place to avoid damage. These must be retted after
installation.

The stove is supplied ready for top ue connection. For rear ue
connection, rearrange the ue cap, gasket and collar arrangement
as shown (Fig 4). The punch-out section on the heat shield will
need to be removed using shears for rear ue connection. Tighten
all xing screws are to ensure parts are airtight.

Chimney & Flue Connections

The stove may be connected to an existing chimney or a relined
chimney using a ue pipe made of cast iron, 316 grade stainless
steel or vitreous enamelled steel, nominal thickness 1.2mm. The
diameter of the steel ue pipe should be 125mm (5”) minimum.

Before installing on an existing clay chimney, check that it is in good
condition; dry and free from cracks and obstructions. The diameter
of any existing clay ue should not be less than 150mm and not
more than 230mm. If these requirements are not met, the chimney
should be relined by a suitable method by a qualied person.

The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should

conform to Building Regulations. If you have any doubts about the
suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer or stockist.
The chimney must be swept thoroughly before connection to the
stove and swept every six months thereafter.

If there is no existing chimney then a prefabricated block chimney
or a twin walled insulated stainless steel ue to BS4543 can be
used. These must be tted in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions and in compliance with Building Regulations.

Bellingham 5kW (BLM5SE)

- 5 -

Connect the ue pipe to the stove making sure that it ts snugly
into the base of the ue collar . Seal the collar and ue connection
with re cement or with other suitable high temperature sealant.
Add ue sections as required; note that all ue sockets must face
upwards. Ensure that the ue pipe end is no closer than 76mm
to the side or rear of the chimney walls. It is essential that all
connections between the stove and the chimney ue are sealed
and made airtight.

Avoid using bends greater than 45° to the vertical (Fig 7). All ue
pipes should be as close to vertical where possible. For rear ue
connection the length of the horizontal run of the ue pipe should
not exceed 150mm (Fig 8). Both chimney and ue pipe must be
accessible for cleaning and if ALL parts of the chimney cannot
be reached, a soot door must be tted to enable this to be done.

This product must not be installed on a shared ue.

Flue Draught

The chimney should be checked before the stove is installed to
ensure that there is adequate ue pull. The draught can be checked
initially by using a smoke match close to the ue opening. If the

chimney doesn’t pull the smoke it may suggest that the chimney

needs further attention. Any remedial work to the chimney ue
should be carried out by a suitably qualied engineer.

A ue draught of minimum 12 Pascal to maximum 25 Pascal is
required for satisfactory appliance performance. The ue draught
should be checked under re at high output and if it exceeds the
recommended maximum a ue draught stabiliser (or ue damper
as it is also known) must be tted so the rate of burning can be
controlled and prevent overring.

Flue Damper (Not Supplied)

When burning wood, a ue damper may be tted to reduce the
draught through the stove if the draught is too high. When the

damper is set in the open position the chimney draws at full

draught, increasing the volume of air ow through the stove and
ue. Shutting the damper restricts the ow, slowing the rate of
burning. The damper should be tted to the stove ue and should
be the same size as the ue pipe. As a rule it should be tted no
closer than 700mm from the ue outlet of the appliance.

A ue damper should not be tted when burning solid fuels

other than wood.

Room Ventilation

For safe operation this stove must be provided with combustion
air supply in addition to normal room ventilation, in accordance
with Building Regulations. Minimum ventilation requirements vary
depending on whether the dwelling is considered to be of standard
construction or of airtight construction, or if a ue draught stabiliser
has been tted. The required open air vent sizes are as follows:

Table 4 - Additional Room Ventilation Required

Standard build dwellings {air permeability >5.0m³ /(h.m²)}

No Flue Stabiliser No additional vent required

With Flue Stabiliser 15 cm²

Airtight build dwellings {air permeability ≤5.0m³ /(h.m²)}

No Flue Stabiliser 27 cm²

With Flue Stabiliser 42 cm²

The stove may be connected to a dedicated combustion air supply
using the air duct at the rear of the stove (see ‘X’ Fig 4). Connection
can be made to an external wall vent using standard 4” exible
aluminium ducting. Plastic ducting must not be used.

An extractor fan must not be used in the same room as this

appliance.

Floor Protection & Installation Clearances

In all instances the stove must be positioned on a non-combustible
hearth that conforms to Building Regulations and is rm, secure
and capable of supporting the stove. Care should be taken to
ensure the stove is level.

The stove can be installed in suitably sized recess, either purpose
built or an existing replace. In this instance Building Regulations
require that a solid constructional hearth of minimum 125mm must
be used, including the thickness of the oor and any decorative
top surface (e.g. tiling). We recommend a minimum air circulation

space of at least 150mm around the sides and rear and 300mm

above the top to obtain maximum heat output and for access to
the rear of the stove.

Building regulations stipulate minimum wall clearances for stoves
from adjacent walls and constructional hearth (Table 3 & Fig 5).

The stove can also be installed freestanding in the room. In this
instance a reduced thickness hearth may be used, which must
be made from non-combustible board, sheet or tiles of minimum
thickness12mm. (Fig 6) shows the minimum distances required
from the hearth edge to the sides of the stove.

In all cases allow an apron of at least 300mm at the front of the

stove in case of spills when de-ashing.

Table 5 shows the minimum safe distances to combustable
materials which must be observed in all installations. Any
surrounding combustible material should not exceed 80°C.

Table 5 Sides Rear

Bellingham 5kW 500mm 250mm

Existing Fireplace

An existing replace opening can be bricked up or sealed with a
register plate, 2.5mm sheet steel or concrete. A short length of
ue pipe may then be used to connect the stove to the chimney.
Ideally the old replace should be lled in so that there is a smooth
streamlined entry into the ueway. (Fig 8)

Typical installation for Inglenook Fireplaces

Inglenook replaces can have very large bore chimneys (Fig 9).
Check with your installer – you may need a stainless steel exible
ue liner for solid fuel tting.

Commissioning

Upon completion of installation, the stove and ue system should
be tested by a suitably qualied person to make sure it is safe for
normal use. A smoke draw test should be completed to check for
soundness of joints and seals and also that all smoke and fumes
are taken from the appliance up the chimney and emitted safely.

First warm the ue with a blowlamp or similar for about 10 minutes.

Place a lit smoke pellet on the centre of the grate with the air

controls open. Close the door – the smoke should be drawn up the
ue and be seen to exit from the ue terminal. Complete the test

with all windows and doors shut in the room where the appliance

is tted.

If a ceiling fan is present it must be operated on max for the duration
of the test. If there are any extraction fans in adjacent rooms these
too must be operated on maximum setting during the test with the
interconnecting doors open. If any spillage occurs, recheck the
suitability of the ue system making sure there is adequate air
supply to the room (as per Building Regulations).

Light the appliance and slowly increase the temperature to

operating levels. Open the main re door when the appliance

reaches normal operating condition and carry out a spillage test

using a smoke match or pellet around the door opening. If any
spillage occurs, open all windows, allow the re to go out and
recheck the ue system and ventilation.

Operating Instructions

Warning: This appliance and its operating handles become
hot when the stove is in use and for some time afterwards.
For your safety use the glove provided.

Initial Firing of Stove

Please note that the stove paint and re cement cures during the
inital ring period. Upon rst lighting, smoke may rise from the

surface of the stove as the paint cures and this can give off a strong

smell, however this is quite normal. The room must be left well
ventillated during the running in period until any smells dissipate.

We suggest that you vacate the room during this period checking

on the stove periodically. If necessary an air circulation fan may be
used to facilitate air movement and remove any odours.

Start by lighting a small re, then gradually build the re until you
reach the maximum output for a period of 2-3 hrs. This is to ensure
that the paint and re cement cures fully. If with the rst lighting
the maximum temperature is not reached, the above mentioned
effects may arise later on. Always build the re gradually as this
allows castings to relax and consolidate location, especially after
long idle periods when the stove has not been in use.

Air Controls

The stove heat output is controlled using the air slide below the
door (see Fig 3). For wood burning the slide should be operated
to the right. When burning solid fuel the slide should be moved to
the left. In both instances the minimum burn position is when the
slide is in the central position. The further the slide is moved from
the centre position the more air will be supplied to the re and the
greater the heat output for either wood or solid fuel burning.

The door is opened by turning the handle anti-clockwise as shown

(B - Fig 10). To lock the door, turn handle clockwise when closed.

Lighting the Stove

Before lighting the re check that the grate is set in the correct
position for the fuel you are burning and that the stove has been
de-ashed fully. When burning wood only the grate bars may be
left in the at position with the grate arm pushed in (see C - Fig

10). When burning solid fuel or mixed fuel types the grate bars
must be in the upright position with the grate arm fully extended.

Place re lighters or paper and 5-6 pieces of dry kindling on the
grate. Light the re at base and allow the kindling to light fully
across the grate. Build the re up gradually using small rells of
fuel until there is a good re bed and the re is well established.

When refuelling leave the air control in the boost position fully to
the right for wood burning (as shown Fig 3). If refuelling with solid

fuel move the slide fully to the left position for maximum undergrate

air. Once the fuel is alight reduce back the air supply to the desired
output. Do not rell the stove above the level of the rear brick.

Running the Stove

When your fuel is well alight you can start to restrict the air intake to

the desired setting. Your stove is burning with maximum efciency
when a bright re is achieved using minimum air inlet.

Never leave the stove unattended until the logs are burning well
and the air supply has been adjusted down to desired level.

Note that refuelling onto a low rebed causes excessive smoke
to occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufcient quantity
of glowing embers to ignite fuel in a reasonable period. If there
are too few embers add kindling rst to get re going again before
refuelling.

For optimum performance the stove should not be overlled with
fuel above the height of the rear brick, ideally the top 1” height of
the rear brick should be visible at all times. Overlling can cause
poor operation, excessive smoke to occur and possible damage to

bafe plate. The stove must not be operated with the door left open.

The stove is not suitable for overnight burning, however it can be
banked up to burn for extended periods. Before refuelling, empty
the ashpan, especially when burning solid fuel. Open air controls
and let the re burn brightly for a short period before reducing air
supply; the exact setting required will depend on the fuel used and
the chimney draw so some practice may be necessary. To revive
the re, open air supply until the re is burning brightly, de-ash if
necessary and refuel. Set air controls as required.

Notes on Wood Burning

Burn only dry, well seasoned wood, which should have been cut,
split and stacked for a minimum of 12 months (24 months is better)
with free air movement around all sides of the stack to enable it to
dry out. Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create tar deposits

in the stove and chimney and will not produce a satisfactory heat

output. When loading wood, make sure that the end grain of the

wood in the stove is pointing away from the glass otherwise the
moisture and gases coming from the end grain of the wood will

dirty the glass.

Table 6 - Maximum log lengths

Bellingham 5kW 350mm (14”)

Notes on Solid Fuel burning (Other than Wood)

Always de-ash the stove before burning solid fuel and do not let the
ash build up to the underside of the grate bars. If ash is allowed to
build up it will stie the air ow through the grate and will eventually
cause the re to die. Air passing through the rebed cools the
grate. Distortion or burning out of the grate bars is nearly always
caused by ash being allowed to build up on the underside of the
grate. With some solid fuels a residue of burnt fuel or clinker will
accumulate on the grate. It is important it is to empty the ash pan
and remove clinker after each ring of the stove.

We recommend the use of HETAS approved manufactured

smokeless fuels. Note that different types of fuel will give different
performances. Using the stove as an incinerator for household

waste invalidates the warranty is not recommended as fumes from

plastic, etc will cause pollution to the atmosphere and will cause
damage to the stove.

Petroleum coke fuels, bituminous (smokey) coal or household
waste should not be burned on this appliance.

De-Ashing

To de-ash the grate draw the riddle lever in and out using the hand

tool provided, with a slow positive action (C - Fig 10).

The ash pan should be emptied each time after operating the
stove so not to let build up of ash occur. For efcient burning of
your appliance, make sure the grate is clear of unburnt debris;
e.g. nails, etc. It is best to wait until the stove and ash has cooled
before removing the ash pan. To remove, open the stove door by

turning the handle anticlockwise (B - Fig 10) then using the hand

tool lift the ash pan out of the re (Fig 11). Allow the ash to cool
fully before disposing in a bin.

Shut down Periods

If shutting down the stove for long periods (e.g. for summer months)

make sure that all ash is removed from the stove and that the

chimney ue ways and bafe plate are brushed clean. When the
stove is cold a vacuum may be used to remove any residual ash or
soot. Close the door and leave the air control in the boost position.

This action will ensure air circulation through the appliance and
will help to avoid corrosion and condensation within the appliance

during this shut down period.

Safety Notes for Your Guidance

FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS.

Always use a re guard in the presence of children, the elderly
or the inrm. Inform all persons the dangers of high temperatures
during operation of the appliance including the stove pipe.

Use operating tools provided.

DO NOT OVER FIRE.

It is possible to re the stove beyond its design capacity. This could
damage the stove, so watch for signs of over ring. If any part of
the stove starts to glow red, the stove is in an over re situation
and the controls should be adjusted accordingly to reduce air
intake. Never leave the stove unattended for long periods without
adjusting the controls to a safe setting. Careful air supply control
should be exercised at all times.

Warning - Fume Emissions

Properly installed and operated, this appliance will not emit fumes.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and refuelling may occur.
Persistent fume emission must not be tolerated. If fume emission
does persist, then the following immediate action must be taken:

1. Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.

2. Let the re out, or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the
appliance.

3. When the stove has cooled, check for chimney ue blockage
and clean if required.

4. Do not attempt to relight the re until the cause has been
identied. If necessary seek professional advice.

General Maintenance

Bafe Plate: This should be removed at least once a month to
prevent any build up of soot or ash, which could lead to blocked
ue ways and dangerous fume emission. This must be done when
the stove is cold. Once the bafe plate is removed the chimney/
ueway can be swept through the appliance.

The bafe plate holds the side bricks in position and uses two
extended tabs to locate on top of the bricks while the rear edge
rests on the tertiary air bar. To facilitate easy removal the log bar
can be removed by unscrewing the transport xing bolt on the
underside (It is not necessary to ret this bolt for normal stove
operation). Please note the bafe plate position before removal.

To remove the bafe plate, lift the front edge and slide it forwards
until it drops down clearing the front edge of the side bricks.
The rear of the plate should now clear the back brick & airwash.
Holding the plate in horizontal position, carefully rotate the bafe
plate clockwise until the tabs on the lower side becomes free. The
bottom side can then be pulled forward from the side brick and the
plate can be removed.

Stove Body: The stove is nished with a heat resistant paint and
this can be cleaned with a soft brush. Do not clean while the stove
is hot, wait until it has cooled down. The nish can be renovated
with a suitable brand of stove paint.

Glass Panels: Clean the glass panels when cool with a proprietary

glass cleaner or some damp newspaper. Do not use abrasive
materials as these can scratch the glass and make subsequent
cleaning more difcult. Wet logs on heated glass, a badly aimed
poker or heavy slamming of the doors could crack the glass panel.
The glass should not fracture from heat.

Chimney: Check your chimney each year before starting to use
your stove for the winter. Birds may have nested in the chimney
or masonry may have cracked. Both chimney and ue pipe must
be swept at least once a year by a Qualied Chimney Sweep.

Troubleshooting

1. Poor heat output

a. Stove too small for room: Seek advice from a Qualied Heating

Engineer as to (kW) output required for the room size. As a
guideline the volume of the room in cubic feet divided by 500;
e.g. room 15’x15’x8’ would require 3.6kW approx.

b. Chimney and/or ue pipe restricted, room ventilation restricted:

On installation these should have been checked but regular
maintenance is necessary as conditions can change; e.g. soot
build up, birds nesting, masonry fall, dust build up or furniture
blocking vents.

c. Poor quality fuel: Only burn dry seasoned timber, soft woods

have a lower heat output than hard woods per hour. Solid

fuels vary in heat value; check with your coal merchant as to

suitability.

2. Dirty Glass Panel

a. Generally caused by poor fuel quality, damp fuel or burning

wood that has not been properly seasoned.

b. Airslide not in correct position for the fuel type, e.g. on solid fuel

setting when burning wood.

c. Fire burning too low, open air vents on stove to create hot re;

this may ‘burn’ glass clean.

d. If glass requires cleaning use glass cleaner recommended by

your supplier; only use glass cleaner on cold glass. DO NOT
USE any abrasives or scrapers as these will scratch glass and
increase future tar build up making it harder to clean.

3. Unburnt Fuel in Firebox

Insufcient air reaching fuel causing it to go out. Open the air
slide, this will supply combustion air to burn fuel fully (unless it
has insufcient heat to ignite or has already extinguished). Check
if the ash pan is full and empty if required. De-ash to make sure
the grate is not blocked and check for jammed clinker or nails
when the re is out and the stove has cooled. A small amount of
unburnt clinker is normal after the re has extinguished and the
amount left is dependent on fuel type.

4. Smoke and Fumes Entering Room

These are very dangerous and must NOT be tolerated. Open
window and allow re to burn out. Seek expert advice immediately.
DO NOT USE stove until the problem is solved.

5. Chimney Fire

Identied by loud roaring sounds, dense smoke and sparks emitting
from chimney. Shut down the air supply by closing air vents, close
stove door fully and call re brigade immediately.

Chimneys must be swept at least once anually, more frequently if
smokey fuels are used. Regular chimney maintenance will prevent
chimney res. Seek advice from a Qualied Chimney Sweep.

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 xed 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.

The Bellingham 5kW stove has been recommended as suitable for
use in smoke control areas when burning wood and manufactured
smoke less fuels. The air control has been set to ensure a minimum
burn rate for clean burning during operation.

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

After Sales Service

As a sign of our commitment to quality, all new Dimplex solid

fuel stoves are guaranteed against casting faults and other

manufacturing defects for 10 years in the case of non-boiler
stoves and 5 years in the case of boiler models, subject to certain
conditions and exclusions. The guarantee covers the main body

of the stove and external cast parts under normal domestic use

- it does not cover use in commercial premises. The guarantee

period begins on the date of purchase. The guarantee covers
replacement of the parts found to be defective but does not cover
labour charges.

Conditions and Exclusions:

The guarantee does not cover the following items which are

deemed to be consumable items under normal use: glass, rope
seals, grate, ashpan, cast iron liners, riddling lever, bafe plate,
re bricks and log retainer.

It is a condition of the guarantee that the installation complies

with relevant Building Regulations and is carried out by a suitably
qualied individual (HETAS registered in England and Wales, or
equivalent in other countries) with certicate of installation and
appropriate commissioning retained by the end-user along with
proof of purchase.

Whilst the guarantee does not cover any aspect of the flue

arrangements for the installation, or the installation work itself, as
these are beyond the control of Dimplex as the manufacturer of
the stove, it is a condition of the guarantee that the ue be swept
by a suitably qualied individual as appropriate but at a minimum
interval of once per year. It is expected that the stove would be

inspected for developing faults at the time of sweeping to allow

any necessary maintenance to be carried out.

Damage or defects caused by the following are excluded: over­ring, use of inappropriate fuels such as petroleum coke or
household rubbish, ue draft problems, ventilation issues, accident,
misuse, fair wear and tear, unauthorised modications or repairs
made using incorrect spares.

In normal usage the paint nish of the stove may change colour
slightly or lighten in shade over time. This is considered normal and
is not covered by the guarantee. Damage caused by over-ring is
excluded from the guarantee.

It is a condition of the guarantee that only genuine Dimplex spare

parts are used. Parts that may need occasional replacement are
re bricks, ashpan, grate and log retainer. NB: sealing rope and
rope adhesive are generic stove spares that can be purchased
from most stove retailers. Provided the rope seals are replaced
like for like and xed with appropriate stove rope adhesive, this
will not invalidate the guarantee.

Genuine Dimplex spare parts are available in the UK direct from
the manufacturer and can be ordered via www.dimplex.co.uk or
by telephone on 0845 600 5111. For Republic of Ireland orders
see www.dimpco.ie or Tel: [phone]

Dimplex reserves the right to provide either replacement parts or

a replacement stove, at their sole discretion, in order to satisfy
claims made under this guarantee.

Replacement parts or stoves are covered only for the remainder

of the original guarantee period.

Dimplex will not be held responsible for any consequential or
incidental loss, damage or injury, howsoever caused.

The Dimplex stove guarantee does not affect, and is in addition
to, your statutory rights.

Should you require after sales service or should you need to
purchase any spares, please contact the retailer from whom the
appliance was purchased. Please do not return a faulty product
to us in the rst instance as this may result in loss or damage and
delay in providing you with a satisfactory service. Please retain
your receipt as proof of purchase.
