1 GENERAL
POINTS FOR THE PURCHASER
The EXCEL stove has been individually designed to add traditional charm and character
to your home. Providing a highly efficient heat source, the EXCEL has the look and
charm of a 'real' stove coupled with the convenience of clean burning gas.
The stove is designed to run both off natural or LPG gas however each individual
appliance is only capable of running off the type of gas specified at the time of purchase.
It is important to note that once a type of gas has been specified the stove cannot run off
any other type. The type of gas which your stove is capable of burning is stated on the
data information panel (See Paragraph 3).
Important Notes
a) These instructions have been compiled in accordance with BS 5258 Part 13: 1986.
Ensure that the stove corresponds to the type of gas it is to be used with. This can be
confirmed by checking the data badge located on the rear face of the appliance.
Prior to installation it is essential that the chimney should be swept and its condition
and suitability for use with the appliance checked.
Remember at all times this product is concerned with high temperatures, and
appropriate care should ahvays be taken.
Bear in mind that the heat given off by the appliance may affect articles placed close to
it. Curtains should not be positioned above the appliance at a distance less than 12"
(30 centimetres) from the top.
The appliance was not designed to be used as a dryer. It is therefore not
recommended that the appliance is used in such a manner.
Under no circumstances should the appliance be operated with the front removed or
the door glass damaged.
A combustible shelf may be fitted over the appliance provided that in the case of a
1500101 or less deep shelf, there is at least 6100101 clearance above the top of the fire
(measured from its highest point).
Please remember that parts of the appliance will get hot during and after use.
If young children, the elderly, or infirm are likely to be near the stove,
ensure a suitable fire guard (BS 6539 or BS 6778) is erected
The appliance is fitted with a thermostatic switch (TTB) which senses any excess
temperature due to a flue blockage. In the event of a partial or total blockage the gas
supply will be automatically cut. Should this occur turn the control knob to the off
position and wait approximately 10 minutes for the switch to automatically reset.
57766
On repeated operation of the thermostatic switch the stove should be turned off and
under no circumstances re-lit until specialist advice has been obtained from your
dealer.
Whilst the appliance is called a 'stove' the EXCEL is not designed to be used in any
way as a cooker. The stove should not be used for any other purpose than as a
room heater and decorative stove.
This appliance is designed solely for use in the United Kingdom and Republic of
Ireland.
The installation must be in accordance with the Gas Safety Installation
&
Use
Regulations 1994 amended 1996 and with these instructions, and all the relevant
parts of the Local and National Building Regulations, and the recommendations of
the relevant British Standards Codes of Practice.
b) It is required by law that any appliance using natural or LPG gas is installed by
a competent person (e.g. CORGI registered), in conjunction with these
instructions and the requirements as laid down in the relevant Regulations and
British Standards:
- The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994 amended 1996
- The Building Regulations (issued by the Department of the Environment)
- The Building Standards (Scotland)( Consolidation) Regulations
APPLIANCE TO BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL REGULATIONS
Installation must only be undertaken by a competent person e.g. CORGI
REGISTERED and in conjunction with the installation instructions.
Installers will be supplied with comprehensive fitting instructions in a separate booklet.
This will be left by the fitter once installation has been undertaken.
To comply with the Building Regulations issued by the Department of the Environment,
the following points should be noted when choosing a hearth :-
i) The hearth must be made of non combustible material of thickness 12mm minimum.
ii) The hearth must protrude at least 1S0mm in front of the stove coals and 1S0mm
each side.
iii) The hearth must not be capable of inadvertent covering by a carpet or rug. This
should be achieved by either:
a) the hearth being SOmm (2") above the level of the room floor.
b) a fender or kerb around the edge of the hearth to a height of at least SOmm (2")
above the floor.
The Excel is suitable for both Class 1 and 2 flues (the Building Regulations 1984)
The appliance is also suitable for pre-cast flues, pre-cast chimney block, pre-cast flue block
and ridge tile vent
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the flue to be connected is suitable for
the conditions experienced when burning natural or LPG gas.
Ideally it is recommended that a minimum height of 61 Omm from the stove should be
established before any significant change in the direction of the flue. Horizontal or
negative gradients in the flue pipe should be avoided.
It is recommended that the flue has a minimum height of 3 meters. Prior to installation
the installer should ensure that the flue is free from obstruction and ideally a chimney
should be swept and subsequently smoke tested. Ensure that any dampers are fixed in a
permanently open position, and that the chimney/flue is, in the professional opinion of
the installer, of an overall suitability for the purpose intended.
The Excel has no requirement for additional ventilation in the room in accordance with
BS 5871 part

6 SAFETY MECHANISMS
FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND
Since 1st January 1996, under new European standard EN5613, all stoves are required to
have a 'Flame Supervision Device' (FSD). If the pilot should become accidentally
extinguished, there exists a potential tor a build up of unburned gas. In this situation the
FSD will automatically cut off the gas supply to the pilot and main burner.
This is a system that monitors the performance of the flue. In the event of full or partial
blockage of the chimney/flue a sensor automatically interupts the gas supply to ensure
flumes are not spilled into the room.
57766
Ensure that the stove is turned off before cleaning and do not attempt to clean the
appliance if the unit is still hot.
The coals used in the appliance are manufactured from high quality ceramic fibre, and
should only be arranged as shown on the coal layout diagram.
Mter continued use there may be a build up of soot on the coals which will require
removal. Any form of deposit on the coals will affect the performance of the appliance and
should be removed using a soft brush.
Care should also be taken to ensure that deposits from the chimney do not fall into the
appliance. If this does occur cleaning should be undertaken promptly, and the cause
investigated before further use.
There should be no need for the purchaser to alter the layout of the coals and it is
recommended that such a practice should be avoided if at all possible. Follow the
instructions for coal layout in sections of the Installation Instructions book.
Should however any coals become broken during the cleaning process it is essential that
replacements are purchased, as there is an optimum number of coals for a satisfactory
functioning of the stove and the flame picture. Do not use the stove without the ceramic
mat being in place.
To remove the door undo the four brass nuts and washers, Care should be taken when
re-tightening the nuts not to over-tighten them.
It is essential that the appliance is regularly serviced and maintained by a qualified person,
and the chimney or flue system checked annually.
If the appliance is heavily used it is advisable to undertake more regular servicing,
however under normal circumstances annual servicing should be sufficient.
