packaging, open the door and remove all the contents. See List of Components section
(above) and check contents carefully.

**IMPORTANT HANDLING WARNING!!**

NEVER TIP OR ROCK THE STOVE FORWARDS DURING HANDLING AS IT MAY DAMAGE THE

AIR CONTROL LEVER!

3.1. Remove the top plate by lifting it off – noting the adjustment screws for levelling after

installation. NOTE: The top plate MUST be re-fitted before connecting the flue pipe to
the vertical spigot because the flue pipe passes through the top plate!

3.2. Remove the stove door if required for easier handling of the unit. Open to about 30

degrees and lift upwards to disengage the hinge pins.

3.3. Remove the interior components of the stove using the following procedure. SEE ALSO

MAINTENANCE GUIDE section for diagrams where required.

3.3.1. Remove the baffle plate by supporting the plate with both hands and lifting the

front edge towards you and sliding the back edge off the back support and down
slightly into the firebox. Once the rear is lowered then the front edge can also be
lowered off the front baffle supports.

3.3.2. Next remove the two cast ceramic firebox side liners by pulling the front edges

inwards towards the centre of the firebox and sliding away from the 45 degree
mitre joint with the back liner at the rear corners. Take great care not to chip or
damage the surfaces of these ceramic components – support the rear liner so that
it cannot fall over and break!

3.3.3. Now remove the firebox rear liner. Handle and store these ceramic liners very

carefully to one side where they will not get broken.

3.3.4. Remove the fuel retainer assembly noting its location slots at the front firebox

corners.

3.4. Rock the stove to the left and right side in turn and set the adjustable feet of the stove

to approximately their MAXIMUM position. They can be re-adjusted lower later if
required. NOTE: DO NOT rock the stove forward as it may damage the air control

lever!

3.5. The flue spigot collar may now be configured for horizontal connection if required.

3.5.1. Remove the 4 x M6 cap screws in the upper rear firebox and remove the spigot.

If necessary remove screws from the casing to assist if required.

3.5.2. The casing blanking plate can now be taken out by removing its 2 x securing nuts

and securing bar and lifting off.

3.5.3. Finally the spigot may then be rotated by 180 degrees and re-fitted either using

the gasket provided or re-sealing with fire cement as required.

3.5.4. The casing blanking plate can now be used to cover the hole in the top plate.

3.6. Lift the stove into its final position using an assistant to help.

3.7. Fit the top plate back onto the stove before fitting the top flue connection.

5 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

3.8. Make the connection to the flue, chimney or liner using appropriate rigid flue pipe or

adaptor, making sure to seal all joints carefully.

3.9. Now proceed to complete the installation of the stove according to these instructions,

Building Regulations and current installation standards or HETAS advice.

3.10. The internal parts of the stove can be re-assembled as the reverse of the

previous removal instructions.

4.0 Important Safety Information

4.1. WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

4.1.1. 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 (A.D.) 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 of a stove is a notifiable building works as defined in the building
regulations and 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 .

4.1.2. Important Chimney Warning

This stove must not be installed into a shared chimney that serves any other heating appliance.

4.1.3. 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
Approved Document (A.D.) 1.21 and necessary action taken.

4.1.4. 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. 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. The chimney or flue can usually be swept through the appliance. A wire centred
sweeps brush with guide wheel is recommended. Any loose, broken or leaking joints or flue
ways MUST be repaired immediately.

6 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

4.1.5. 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.

4.1.6. Maintenance

Annual checking and servicing of the appliance and flue by a competent engineer is
recommended.

4.1.7. 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, including the direct outside
air connection where used. See VENTILATION in INSTALLATION INFORMATION section.

4.2. Health And Safety Precautions

Special care must be taken when installing this stove to meet all requirements of the Health &

Safety at Work act.

4.2.1. Handling

Adequate facilities must be available for unloading and site handling. Stoves are very heavily
built so always ask for assistance when lifting and siting them. See Technical Data for weights.

4.2.2. 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.

4.2.3. 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.

4.2.4. Metal Parts

When installing or servicing this stove, proper care should be taken to avoid the possibility of
personal injury. Injury may be caused by component weight, sharp parts or trapping for
example and these risks should be identified and minimised.

5.0 Installation Information

5.1. Chimney/flue

The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to Building
Regulations. Minimum chimney height is 4.5m. The chimney must be swept before connection
to the stove. Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry and free from cracks and
obstructions. The diameter of the flue should not be less than 125mm (spigot diameter) at any
point and not more than 200mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should
be lined by a suitable method. When using a liner a 5” flexible flue liner is permitted be used on
Purevision stoves providing that the users only burns smokeless fuel or seasoned wood logs
with the air limiter fitted in in full accordance with the wood burning instructions.

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

7 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

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 fuel compatible
prefabricated block chimney 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.

5.2. Ventilation

Document J of the Building Regulations states that purpose provided ventilation is not required
in England and Wales unless the appliance nominal rated output is greater than 5kW. Over 5kW

5.5 cm2 of ventilation (550mm2) is required for every kW output above 5. For example 6.5 kW
requires 8.25 cm2 and 8 kW needs 16.5cm2. In any case, if difficulty in starting the fire or any
excessive fuming is experienced, ventilation must be put in place as required to eliminate these
flue problems. If a flue draught stabiliser is fitted then extra ventilation is required. See
Document J of the Building Regulations for detailed guidance especially in new build properties.
A specifically designed direct outside air connection may be used with these stoves to provide
appropriate levels of ventilation (significantly in excess of the above requirements) directly to
the stove and chimney as follows. NOTE: As of early 2014 an ADJ vent is still required even if
using an outside air connection.

5.3. Direct Outside Air Connection

Purevision stoves are supplied with the facility of using a dedicated 100mm diameter direct
connection duct through a suitable route to the outside air. It can either be connected to the
rear or the underside of the stove and should be fitted at the time of stove installation. Only the
approved kit for Purevision stoves should be used. This is designed to supply the necessary air
for safe combustion and operation of the stove – providing the flue, chimney and ventilation
duct are working correctly and properly maintained clear of obstructions or leaks etc.
Instructions for installation are provided with the dedicated kit supplied. NOTE: As of early 2014
an ADJ vent is still required even if using an outside air connection.

5.4. Flue Draught

A flue draught at the flue collar of minimum 2.2mm to a maximum 3.5mm water gauge (22 to
35 Pascals) is required for satisfactory appliance performance. This relates to 12-25 Pascals at
the tapping on EN13240/13229 test rigs. The flue draught should be checked under fire at high
output and, if it exceeds the recommended maximum, a draught stabiliser must be fitted so
that the rate of burning can be controlled to prevent over-firing.

5.5. Connection to the Chimney

This appliance is not suitable for use in a shared flue.

A suitable 5” flexible flue liner is permitted be used on Purevision stoves providing that they
only burn smokeless fuel or seasoned wood logs with the air limiter fitted in in full accordance
with the wood burning instructions.

An existing fireplace opening can be bricked up or sealed with a register plate. A short length of
suitable quality rigid flue pipe of a minimum 125mm internal diameter may then be used to
connect the stove to the chimney. A maximum of 150mm horizontal flue pipe can be used. This
flue pipe should conform to Building Regulations. Ensure that the pipe end is no closer than
76mm to the side or rear chimney walls.

8 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

Ideally, the old fireplace should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamlined entry into the
flue way. It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney-flue are sealed and
made airtight with sealing rope, clamping rings and/or fire cement or heat resisting cement
where required.

Both the chimney and flue pipe must be accessible for cleaning and if ANY parts of the chimney
cannot be reached through the stove (with baffle removed), a soot door must be fitted in a
suitable position to enable this to be done.

5.6. Material Clearance Dimensions

5.6.1. Safety Distances from Combustible Surfaces:

FREESTANDING MODELS

Model Side (full wall) Rear (full wall)

Purevision 5kW 400mm 600mm
Purevision 5kW Wide 250mm 450mm
Purevision 8.5kW 150mm 400mm

In addition it is strongly recommended that any furniture or other combustible materials are
kept at least 900mm clear from the front of the stove.

COMBUSTIBLE SHELVES AND BEAMS

Due to the fact that combustible shelves, timber fireplaces and beams have potentially
thousands of possible configurations in conjunction with stoves outset or inserted partially or
fully into chambers, it is not possible to give firm guidance on dimensions to these features. As a
guideline, materials that are in ‘line of sight’ to the stove are more likely to overheat due to
direct radiation from the stove body than materials that are not in ‘line of sight’ (e.g. with stove
fully inside a chamber). Materials above the stove are far more likely to overheat than materials
alongside or below. A guideline limiting temperature for solid timber (not surface finishes) is
approximately 80-85 degrees C with a normal ambient room temperature. Temperatures of
combustible materials can be substantially lowered with a simple heat shield constructed of a
non-combustible material and small air gap (6-12mm for example) between the shield and
combustible material.

5.6.2. Distances from NON-combustible materials:

The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized non-combustible fireplace but a permanent free
air gap of at least 50mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50mm at the back of
the stove to obtain reasonable heat output and for access to the stove for removal and
maintenance. A clearance of 150mm will give a better heat output

In accordance with Building regulations all non-combustible walls closer than 400mm to the
stove should be at least 75mm thick. For practical reasons the back wall of the fireplace recess
and the hearth should be made of non-combustible material.

5.7. Hearths:

Purevision freestanding stoves do not require a constructional hearth beneath them as they do
not cause the floor temperature to exceed 100 degrees C. Hearths must be generally level. In all
instances a non-combustible superimposed hearth extending fully underneath the stove and
forming an apron of at least 225mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either side must be

9 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

provided. The superimposed hearth must not be less than 12mm thick and must have a clearly
defined edge (change of level) to discourage placing of any combustible materials on or partially
over it.

The appliance shall be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. If the existing
construction does not meet this requirement, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate)
should be provided to achieve it.

5.8. Accessories

Purevision stoves are provided with a selection of accessories including stands, log store stands,
and a dedicated outside air kit. Only use genuine Purevision accessories.

5.9. Commissioning and Handover

CO Alarm: 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 is available in BS EN50292:2002 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.

Upon completion of the installation, allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and
mortar to dry out. A small fire may then be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are
taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere.

Advise the customer not to run the stove at full output for at 3 – 4 days. Explain that the stoves
can provide much more or less output than their rated heat outputs depending upon fuels, fuel
loads used and how they are operated.

Warn the customer that using excessive air (having the air controls open too wide for too
long) can over-fire and irreparably damage the stove. Damage caused by over firing is NOT
covered by any warranty.

On completion of the installation and commissioning, check all parts of the appliance are
correctly fitted and ensure that the operating instructions and operating tools (including gloves)
for the stove are left with the customer. You must be sure to advise the customer on the correct
use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to use only the
recommended fuels for the stove.

Advise the user on what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted into the room from the stove
– see Safety Notes section. The user should be warned that they MUST use a suitable fireguard
in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

7.1.1. FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS – Always use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 Fireguards

for use with solid fuel appliances in the presence of children, the elderly or the
infirm.

7.1.2. DO NOT perform modifications to the appliance as this could seriously

compromise safety in operation.

7.1.3. DO NOT OVERFIRE – it is possible to fire the stove beyond its design capacity,

this could damage the stove, so watch for signs of over firing – if any part of the
stove starts to glow red, including baffle plate or fuel retainer, the fire is in an over
fire situation and the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave the
stove unattended for long periods without first adjusting the controls to a reduced
and safe setting – careful air supply control should be exercised at all times.

7.1.4. WARNING – FUME EMISSION

Properly installed and operated, this appliance will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de­ashing and refuelling may occur which is not normally of serious concern. However, persistent
fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated.
If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken: -

1. Open doors and windows to ventilate room

2. Let the fire out, or remove and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.

3. Check for flue chimney blockage and clean if required.

4. Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause has been identified and corrected.

If necessary, seek professional advice from chimney or stove specialists.

Important! – Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as this appliance.

7.1.5. IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE

 Raise the alarm to let others in the house know.
 Call the Fire Service
 Reduce the appliance burning rate by closing all air controls fully.
 Move furniture and rugs away from the fireplace and remove any nearby ornaments.
 Place a fireguard or spark guard in front of the stove.
 Feel the chimneybreast for sign of excessive heat.
 Do not relight the fire until the chimney and flue ways have been examined by a

professional.
If the wall is becoming hot, move the furniture away. Ensure that the Fire Service can gain
access to your roof space in order to check this area for signs of fire spread.

7.1.6. CO ALARMS

Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm
sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” below.
WARNING If the CO Alarm sounds unexpectedly:-

1. Open Doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.

2. Let the fire go out.

12 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

7.2 Warnings:

This appliance is not designed for open operation and therefore should not be operated with
the doors open.

This stove is designed to burn wood and smokeless fuels cleanly with high efficiency. However,
for this product to work properly it must be used correctly. If used correctly this stove will burn
with the very useful feature of clean glass.

It is essential that the stove has an adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation. DO NOT
block any ventilators provided. The primary, secondary and tertiary air inlets must be kept clear
of obstruction.

Warning! This appliance will be very hot when in operation and due care should be taken when
operating the controls. A tool and pair of quality leather gloves are provided to assist safe
operation.

Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.

7.3 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.

The Fireline Purevision 5kW, 5kW Wide and 8.5kW range have been recommended as suitable
for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs. This is conditional upon fitting the
supplied secondary air control limiters and following the wood burning instructions precisely.

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.

7.4 Air Controls

Keep air controls and inlets/outlets clean and free from ash or debris at all times. Keep direct
outside air inlet grille (if fitted) clean and clear at all times.

Do not leave air control fully open unless monitoring the fire as over firing damage can result
which is not covered by any warranty.

7.4.1 Single Air Control Operation

Primary (under grate), secondary (air wash) and tertiary air is automatically controlled by the
single control lever at the bottom, underneath the stove door. The centre position is the OFF
position and closes off combustion air to the firebox. The off position should only be used if
absolutely necessary for very slow burning and if burning wood will cause the glass to become
blackened, the chimney to gradually become tarred and smoke to be emitted from the stove.
Wood burning: Move the lever fully to the left for maximum air to start or revive a wood fire.
Returning the lever towards the centre position will reduce the air supply progressively to
reduce the burn rate. The nominal burn rate is usually achieved when the stove is fully warmed
up (2-3 loads of logs) and burning dry hardwood logs by having the lever very approximately 18­20mm from the centre position. This is only a rough guide as flue and fuel conditions will vary
the required position. The fire will automatically be supplied with the correct mix of secondary
and tertiary air for complete combustion. The maximum position conveniently provides a boost
of primary air as well to get new fuel burning quickly in order to minimise smoke. Do not leave
on maximum setting unless monitoring the fire to ensure over firing damage does not occur.
Smokeless/Coal fuel burning: Move the air control lever fully to the right side for starting or
reviving a coal fire. Returning the lever towards the centre position will reduce the air supply
progressively to reduce the burn rate. The fire will be supplied with the correct amount of
primary air for combustion of smokeless briquetted fuels and a small amount of
secondary/tertiary air for completing combustion. Do not leave on maximum setting unless
monitoring the fire to ensure over firing damage does not occur

7.4.2 Air Wash

All Fireline stoves are provided with a sophisticated “air wash” system to assist in keeping the
fire as visible as possible and reducing cleaning intervals. This secondary air supply to the stove
is controlled through the main single air control. The Clean Air Act air restrictor bracket will
deliberately prevent full closure of this control on the Wood side of operation.

On the Coal side of the lever’s operation the amount of air wash air is greatly minimised to

ensure good efficiency and so the glass will not remain fully clear indefinitely and will require
cleaning with stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner from time to time.

7.4.3 Tertiary Air

This appliance is also fitted with a patented tertiary air combustion system that burns otherwise
uncombusted gasses in the products of combustion thereby improving efficiency, increasing
heat output and decreasing unwanted atmospheric emissions. The Tertiary air supply to the
stove is controlled automatically by the draught in the flue and firebox and the single air
control. At certain stages of burning you will notice “jets” of swirling flame emerging near the
air holes to the rear of the firebox. For maximum efficiency on coal fuels the amount of tertiary
air is greatly reduced.

7.4.4 Multifuel Grate

Your stove is fitted with a multifuel grate, which can be shaken from the right side of the stove
by pulling and pushing the knob as required. The slot in the operating multi tool can be used to
operate the knob or use the gloves supplied. The grate is a strong set of cast iron bars with

14 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

suitable air slots that assist the burning of most fuels. When burning coal type fuels it is
important to de-ash regularly to ensure that the primary airflow is not impeded. An excessive
build-up of ash when burning coal can damage the cast iron grate. A build up of wood ash when
burning wood will not harm the grate and indeed wood burns better on a bed of ash but
excessive wood ash build up is not recommended.

7.4.5 Ashpan

It is essential that you empty the ash pan regularly when burning coal type fuels. Use the flat
end of tool to lift the ash pan out of the stove. DO NOT allow coal ash to build up underneath
the bed as this may cause damage to the grate.

7.5 Cleaning

Glass: Despite the advanced air wash system provided, the glass will still need cleaning from

time to time depending on the fuel quality and burning rates used. Never clean glass when the
stove is hot. Always use stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner, which is available from your
stove retailer or supermarket. As an alternative, use a wet cloth with some of the wood ash if
burning wood but be very careful to use very clean ash so as not to scratch the glass. DO NOT
use coal ash to clean the glass.
Outer body: The outer body simply needs to be dusted or wiped with a clean damp cloth from
time to time. DO NOT use any kind of furniture polish or cleaning agent other than your stove
suppliers recommended paint.
Inner firebox: Brush the inside of the firebox clean from time to time to check the integrity of
the plates and liners etc. See Maintenance Guide section for instructions on how to remove
parts of the stove. It is not normally necessary to re-paint inside the firebox due to the high
temperatures that mean that the paint does not have much effect before being burnt off. Steel
and high quality cast ceramic liners are very resilient firebox materials and will give reliable
service without major cleaning or work on the firebox. The ceramic liner boards are very
durable but may require replacement occasionally depending upon fuels and the type of usage
experienced. Firebox linings are not covered by warranty, as they are a wearing consumable
part.
Baffle: It is essential to check the top of the baffle for build up of soot and ash regularly when in
use and after a long period of disuse – e.g. summer. From time to time remove the baffle if
necessary to ensure that the flue way entrance is clear. Lift the front edge of the baffle upwards
and forwards to slide the rear edge off its support. Lower the rear edge slightly and then slide
the baffle off its front supports to leave it free for removal. See maintenance section for further
details.
Air Supply: It is essential to check the air supply grille on the outside of the property if the direct
outside air connection is installed. Regularly brush or vacuum out any debris, cobwebs or similar
materials to ensure that the air supply is not restricted. Ensure the air intake chamber visible
underneath the ash pit section with the stove door open is kept free of excessive ash or debris.

7.6 Fuels

The appliance is fitted with a versatile multifuel grate and the appliance has been tested and
approved burning dry, well-seasoned logs or briquetted Ancit smokeless fuel. These are the
recommended fuels. For other fuels please contact the manufacturer for advice.

Note: Warning!- Petroleum coke fuels or household waste must not be burnt on this
appliance.

Should any difficulties arise over fuel quality or suitability, consult your local approved fuel
merchant.

15 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

7.7 Important Information for Wood Burning

With a full load of wood and burning near nominal output the stove will need to be refuelled
approximately every 1-1.5 hours. One or two large logs will burn longer than a number of
smaller ones. Wood can usually be stacked higher in the stove than solid mineral fuel but care
must be taken that logs do not touch the baffle or the glass panel. Do not stack logs above the
level of the tertiary air inlet profiling in the rear ceramic firebox liners at the back of the stove.

Always make sure that flames are visible above the wood after re-fuelling for cleanest burning.

Burning without flames above the fuel will create unnecessary smoke. After re-fuelling open
the single air control fully to the Wood (left) side for 3 minutes or until the logs are fully
blackened to achieve full flames above the fuel.

Wood burns best on a bed of ash and it is therefore only necessary to remove surplus ash from
the stove occasionally.
Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood, which should have been cut, split and stacked - under cover
from rain - for at least 12-24 months with free air movement around the 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. Wood that is not properly dry (‘dry’ is

considered to be less than 20% internal moisture content) uses up energy from the burn
process to evaporate the water inside the wood thus creating very poor conditions for
combustion. The main cause of burning problems with wood stoves is due to excessively damp

wood. Wood can appear perfectly dry on the outside but still contain 40-50% water on the
inside. A moisture meter can be purchased from stove and equipment suppliers if you wish to
check your wood source is correct. Split a log and check the inside as well as the outside.

7.7.1 Refuelling on to a low fire bed

If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed 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 so 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.

7.7.2 Fuel overloading

The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause excess smoke. Never load fuel above the bottom edge of the tertiary air profiling in the
back ceramic firebox liner or allow them to touch the glass. All models max log diameter =
approx. 150mm. Max length = 300mm for 5kW, 400mm for 5kW Wide, 400mm-650mm (taper
firebox) for 8.5kW models. One log is acceptable ONLY if loading onto a hot well established fire
bed.

7.7.3 Operation with door left open

Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke and spillage into the room. The
appliance must not be operated with the appliance door left open.

7.7.4 Primary Air left open

Operation with the primary air controls left open: The single air lever on the Coal – right hand
side - can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air control lever open
on the right side when burning wood or the door left open.

16 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

7.8 Information on Smokeless Fuel (Ancit) burning

Ancit, briquetted smokeless and coal type fuels require very different burning conditions to log
burning and the single air control has been designed to allow for this. Use the control on the
right side of its travel marked ‘Coal’ for best efficiency on these types of fuel. Ancit and other
smokeless briquetted fuels can burn with very little primary air and stay in for many hours to be
revived after an overnight burn for example.

7.9 Lighting the Stove

We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its
maximum heat output. This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and to give a long service life
of the paint finish. During this curing in process you may notice an unpleasant smell whilst the
finishes finally cure. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort we would suggest that during this
period you leave all doors and windows open.

First, open the single air control fully. Then load the firebox with plenty of starting fuel, i.e.
paper, dry kindling sticks and/or firelighters. A crib lattice pattern or wigwam pattern tend to
work well. If using Ancit, place a layer of ancit into the firebox as well. Light the fire at the base
leaving the air control fully open. Leave the door ajar for 5-10 minutes to enhance initial starting
and reduce smoke emission – DO NOT leave the stove unattended if the door is left ajar. Allow
the fuel to reach a steady glow and build the fire up gradually by adding a few small well split
logs or Ancit briquettes at a time. Once you have a good fire bed established across the grate,

further fuel can be added step by step as required. Don’t be tempted to overload the fire bed

with fuel all at once or close down the air controls until the fire is really well established for
some time. Once the ignition period is well under way, gradually reduce the air control opening
to establish the burning intensity you require.

7.10 Re-fuelling

When burning Ancit the fire will begin to die down with a significant amount of white ash
showing amongst the fuel. Shake the grate using the shaker and then gently run a poker
through the fire bed to remove most of the ash into the ashpan. Empty the ashpan if it is nearly
full and then re-fuel with a good load of briquettes. The fuel load should initially be level with
the top of the fuel retainer and not above the rear firebox liner tertiary air inlet profiling. Whilst
approval test cycles are 1 or 2 hours, a stove burning Ancit may be kept in overnight easily
under normal conditions.

When burning wood, the fire will die down as the fuel is consumed. When the flames disappear
and the remainder is breaking down into glowing embers it is an appropriate time to consider
re-fuelling. NOTE: If the flames disappear and there are still lumps of solid wood left this
indicates excessive internal moisture in the wood or insufficient air supply/flue draught.

NOTE: To eliminate unwanted smoke emission, after loading new logs on to the fire, open the
air wash control up fully for 3 minutes or until the logs are blackened all over to boost the fire
and get flames issuing from the top of the fuel as soon as possible. When flames are well
established, reduce the air wash to the running setting required. Burning without flames above
the fuel will create unnecessary smoke. Do not load fuel above the tertiary air inlet hole
profiling at the back of the firebox.

Loading 1 or 2 large sized logs will produce a good output with reasonable burn time. Small logs
will burn up quicker producing a high output and more emissions for a short time, and a large
log will take longer to burn and produce less output and less emissions over a given time. These
appliances are approved for intermittent operation on wood (0.75 to 1.5 hour burn cycles)

17 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

although longer burn times can be achieved by fully loading the firebox, getting the fuel burning
well and then shutting the air control right down (see below). The fire will then need reviving by
first opening the air controls and then using small pieces of wood and plenty of air to get flames
issuing from the wood again. Never load fuel above the rear firebox tertiary air profiling or allow
it to spill onto the glass.

7.11 Shutting Down

The stove will normally shut down by itself as the fuel is consumed. In order to shut down the
stove for other reasons, close the single air control to the central position. If the control is left in
this position, the fire will eventually go out. If you want to revive the fire it is recommended that
the primary air controls are open first, and then open the secondary air controls.

Warning! - The stove will remain very hot for a considerable time after the fire has died down
or been extinguished.

7.12 Shut down for prolonged periods

If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a
thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through
the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls open. It is
important that the flue connection, any appliance baffles or throat plates and the chimney are
swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.

7.13 User Maintenance

See also the Cleaning section above and Maintenance Guide Section below for further
information.
Inspect the inside of the firebox and above the baffle plate every week during use.
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. See chimney
cleaning section in section Warnings and Important Information. Inspect the inside of the
stove and the flue ways and ensure they are 100% clear after a period of disuse (e.g summer).

Check all rope seals for completeness, wear and that there are no gaps between the ends etc.
Any gaps must be eliminated and ropes must be re-adhered to their grooves with suitable rope
seal cement where required. Worn or missing rope seals will affect appliance operation, control
and emissions output and can lead to overheating damage.

Check all air intakes and outlets within the stove for cleanliness and remove any ash or debris
build up by suitable means.

Check outside air ventilators and stove air inlets are clean and unobstructed.

Only use manufacturers recommended replacement parts on the appliance.

machined sockets and adjustable top plate supports for levelling and adjustment
as required. It is not necessary to remove the top plate or door to clean or
remove items from inside the firebox.

8.2 Removing Door. Remove the

stove door by opening to
approximately 30 degrees and
lifting away to disengage the
hinge pins. It is not necessary to
remove the door to clean or
remove items from inside the
firebox.

19 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

8.3 Removal of or Inspection Above Baffle Plate. 1. First lift upwards at the front

and at the same time sliding the rear forwards off the back baffle support
bracket. 2. Next lower the rear edge into the firebox and allow the front of the
baffle to slide off the front baffle support brackets. 3. Finally rotate the baffle out
of the firebox.

20 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

8.4 Removing Firebox Liners and Fuel Retainer Assembly. 1. First slide the front

edges of the left and right firebox liners inwards at the front until they disengage
from the rear liner. Then tilt them slightly and remove from the firebox – NOTE:
Ensure that the rear firebox liner does not fall forwards and break! 2. Remove
the rear firebox liner being very careful not to damage the profiling at the top
which is delicate. 3. Remove the fuel retainer assembly by lifting up out of its
slots.

8.5 Removing Grate components. 1. Remove the riddling/shaker knob by

unscrewing from the operating rod. 2. Unscrew the operating rod from the
underside of the centre rotating grate section using a 10mm AF spanner. 3. Lift
out the two grate sections and the operating rod.

8.6 Removing Flue Spigot Collar. Unscrew 4 x M6 securing screws from inside the

firebox and remove spigot collar. When re-assembling either use a suitable
fireproof gasket or fire cement.

8.7 Removing Outer Casing. 1. Unscrew 2 x M6 screws securing lower casing to

stove legs. 2. Unscrew and remove 4 x M4 screws from both left and right upper
casing brackets. Remove the brackets from the firebox itself to allow removal of
the casing as easily as possible.

22 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

8.8 Door Hinge Adjustment. Door alignment may be adjusted by slackening the door

hinge securing screws and re-positioning the hinge to suit. This will adjust the
horizontal alignment. For front-back alignment carefully adjust the hinges
mounted on the stove body. Check the door seals with a paper strip all around
after any adjustment to prove they are still sealing correctly.

23 Purevision Freestanding Issue 02 01/14

8.9 Smoke Control Air Limiter. 1. If the stove is to be used to burn seasoned wood

logs in a Smoke Control Zone in the UK, the Smoke Control air limiter bracket
must be fitted. This bracket prevents the air control being completely closed
when the stove is used to burn wood. To change to smokeless coal operation the
door must be opened and the lever deliberately lifted and moved from the wood
control side (left) to the coal control side (right) before lighting the fire. 2. To
attach or remove the bracket, use the 2 x M6 cap screws provided as shown. Do

not lean the stove forwards when moving it to access this control bracket as it
will likely damage the air control lever. Either fit without moving the stove or
tilt it left, right or to the rear.

8.10 Maintenance of air control valve. The main air control valve is mounted

underneath the air plenum chamber which is fixed immediately beneath the ash
pit. To access this for thorough cleaning and re-lubrication firstly remove the
outside air box. Invert the firebox for access. To remove the outside air box
remove 2 x screws from bottom of firebox and 2 x screws from rear of firebox,
remove locking nuts and air control lever from spindle and lift off the outside air
box. Other components can now be removed as required.

9.0 Frequently Asked Questions

1 Do stoves require a chimney or a liner? All of our stoves require a suitable chimney or
professionally installed flue system. A liner may or may not be required depending on flue
conditions and only your installer can confirm. Our stoves do not mandatorily require a liner.

2 How do I clean the chimney? You will require a chimney sweep to clean the chimney. It is
essential to provide a dedicated chimney cleaning access door when installing the flue of the
stove in some situations. In many situations the chimney can be swept through the firebox.

3 Who should install my stove? Fireline want you to enjoy the maximum performance from
your appliance. To ensure this, it is essential that they are installed correctly. We strongly
recommend that your stove is installed by a suitably qualified installer e.g HETAS.

4 How do I regulate the heat output? Each stove has various air controls, which will allow you
to easily regulate the heat output. Output can also be varied by log size and quantity fired.

5 What warranty do I get? Fireline will replace, free of charge, any part that fails (under normal
operating conditions) within 12 months of purchase. Consumables such as glass, firebox lining
boards or stove rope and adhesives are not guaranteed. We do not accept consequential or
incidental liability claims from any product failure. A call out charge will apply if our engineer

attends any stove problem that is not related to product failure.

6 Where can I get spare parts? Your local Fireline stove retailer will be pleased to supply spare

parts and to provide any other information you require. Alternatively contact Fireline.

7 Can the doors be left open while burning? For safety and heat efficiency the doors should
remain closed. These stoves are not designed or approved for doors open operation.

8 Why is the stove smoking when lit? A flue with lack of draught problems is almost certainly
the cause of a smoking stove. Also check adequate ventilation is present – if opening a window
or door stops the smoking then lack of ventilation is the probable main cause. A qualified fitter
should complete both a smoke pressure and flow test prior to fitting the stove to ascertain the
integrity of the flue.

9 Why should I “Run in” my stove? To begin, light a series of small fires over a period of a few
days to allow the paint finish to cure. The stove is finished with a highly heat resistant paint. The
finish can be renovated with stove paint available from your stove retailer. If the stove is not
“run in” correctly, this may cause the paint to discolour and flake.

10 What is Over Firing? Over firing is overheating your stove by having the fire burning too
fiercely. Your stove should never be used in a manner to cause over firing. Over firing can be
caused by over loading the stove with fuel or leaving air controls fully open or operating the
stove with leaking or defective door rope seals. If any part of stove glows red hot then your
stove is over firing and your air control should be adjusted to reduce airflow to stove
immediately. Over firing can cause permanent damage to the appliance, which is not covered
by warranty.
