READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE SUPPLEMENTARY
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles
to ensure the 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 Building Regulations, Local Authority
Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the
relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007 as an
alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following
the guidance given in Approved Document J.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations
that the installation of the stove 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.
CO Alarms:-
Building regulations require that when ever 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.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at
Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In
case of contact wash immediately with plenty of water.
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.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
STOVE PERFORMANCE
Please refer to the table in the main instruction manual for details of the stoves’ performances

PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS
IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
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.
Chimney
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate
draught of approximately 15 Pa so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems into
the room.
NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the
top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation procedure given in EN 13384-1 may
be used as the basis for deciding whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of
Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which
might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross section may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice, if necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid
fuel must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of 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 there is no existing chimney then any new system must be to the designation described above and in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for use as
the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting fluepipe must have a minimum diameter of 150 mm
and its dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove.
Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends should not be used.
Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or
flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser should be fitted. Fitting
of a draught stabiliser will affect the requirement for the permanent air supply into the room in which the
stove is fitted in accordance with Approved Document J (see also combustion air supply).
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney
and connecting fluepipe where it is not intended for the chimney to be swept through the appliance.

Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not
independently supported. The weight of the stove is indicated in the brochure.
The stove should preferably be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and construction that is in
accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in
Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor surface, it must be covered with a non-combustible material at least 12mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a distance of
30 cm in front of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there must be an adequate air supply into the room in
which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. The provision of air supply to the stove must be in
accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate
for this purpose.
Connection to chimney
Stoves may have a choice of either a rear or top flue gas connector that allows connection to either a masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with their instructions. In some cases it may be necessary to fit an adaptor to increase the diameter of the flue to the minimum required 150 mm section of the chimney or liner.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out,
before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under fire check all seals for soundness and check that the flue
is functioning correctly and that all products of combustion are vented safely to atmosphere via the chimney
terminal.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are
left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance and warn them to
use only the recommended fuel for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be
warned to use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of children, aged and/or
infirm persons.

Manual
We congratulate you on the purchase of your stove. This manual will inform you about
the best way of using the stove and the art of keeping a perfect fire. Before using the
stove, carefully read the text about breaking in the stove.
These heating instructions apply to the Pharos Interior. They are merely intended as a
guideline as your stove will behave differently according to the place where it is installed,
simply
because the conditions are different. The flue, the weather, the quality of the wood used
and the climate conditions in the house determine your stove's burning behaviour. In time
you will develop your own directions for use, based on these heating instructions.
What you should know about the Pharos Interior
It is an open stove with convection heat being released by the stove pipe, which ensures
a fine heat distribution once the stove is burning properly.
The bottom of the combustion chamber is lined with high-grade ceramic fire bricks. These
bricks are subject to the greatest impacts (being hit by logs), and so have been
additionally reinforced.
The draught in the flue can be reduced using the control flap, if necessary. When the
stove is not being used, close the flap so that no heat will leave the room through the
chimney.
The three basic rules for proper burning are:
1 Use dry and clean wood.
The stove is suitable for burning so-called 'stackable fuels': wood and briquettes. We
assume you will be using dry fuels only. So, this also holds for the kindling paper and
cardboard. Wet fuel costs more energy, leaves moisture on the glass and soils the flue.
2 Do not temper the burning process excessively.
Allow the stove sufficient time to warm up (stay with it at this stage) and do not temper
the fire too quickly. Bear this rule in mind: you must not temper a stove until it has
warmed up properly.
3 Always make sure there is enough fresh air.
In houses today, cracks and gaps have often been sealed. Opening a small grate or
cantilever window will ensure sufficient fresh air, provided no fresh-air-supply system is
used.
The main thing when making the fire is that both the flue and the stove reach the proper
temperature.
