manufactured in accordance with BS8423 –
Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances.

DO NOT OVER-FIRE

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, the stove 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 safe
setting. Careful air supply control should be
exercised at all times.

FUME EMISSION

Properly installed and operated, this appliance will
not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing

USER INSTRUCTIONS

Please Read the ‘General Guidance’ Section at the start of these instructions before operating your stove for
the first time.

Allow sufficient clearance between the stove and pictures, plasma screen televisions or ornaments etc., as
these could be damaged and could potentially create a fire hazard (For more information read the ‘Material
Clearance’ section of these installation instructions).

WARNING – This appliance will be hot when in operation and due care should be taken. The supplied
operating tool may be used to open the door and operate the air controls.

PLEASE NOTE

Your Building Insurance Company may require you
to inform you inform them of this new installation
and that the work has been carried out correctly.
Please check your policy to ensure that it is still
valid when this installation is complete.

USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
We recommend that the appliance is left for 24
hours after installation to allow the fire cement,
fixing glues, etc. to cure.

We also 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. It is non-toxic, but for your
comfort we would suggest that during this period
you leave all doors and windows open.

AIR CONTROLS

This stove has been designed to burn cleaner and
more efficiently than a conventional wood burning
stove. If used correctly this stove will burn far more
efficiently than normal, with the obvious notable
feature of CLEAN GLASS.
However, for this product to work properly it must
be used correctly. It is essential that the stove has
an adequate air supply for combustion and
ventilation. The primary and secondary air inlets
must be kept clear from obstruction and blockage

PRIMARY AIR
The slider at the bottom of the stove controls the
primary air. This provides a conventional air
draught to the bed of the fire. The control is open
when the slider is fully to the right.

SECONDARY & TERTIARY AIR
Secondary air is controlled via the slider above the
doors; it is this “Airwash” that keeps a clean and
uninterrupted view of the fire. The control is open
when pushed towards the right of the Stove.

Tertiary air is fixed and enters the stove through
the holes on the side of the firebox. It aids in good
secondary combustion and reduces emissions into
the chimney and environment.

MULTIFUEL GRATE

Your Parkray Stove is fitted with a locomotive
type grate. So that de-ashing can be carried out
cleanly and easily, it is riddled from the outside
of the stove with the doors closed. The grate is
designed to burn both wood and solid mineral
fuels.

GRATE OPERATION & BURNING WOOD LOGS

Place the operating tool over the riddling spigot
and push the operating tool up and away from you.
When left in this position, air is restricted through
the bed of the fire providing a solid base to build up
a bed of ash. Surplus ash can be removed either by
gentle riddling or with a shovel.

GRATE OPERATION & BURNING SOLID MINERAL FUELS
Place the operating tool over the riddling spigot
and pull it down towards you. When left in that
position, air is directed under and up through the
slots in the fire bed, giving the optimum conditions
for burning solid fuels.
It is important that the riddling tool is used to
remove the ash to ensure airflow through the fire
bed and allow the fire to burn over the entire area
of the grate.
The ashpan should be emptied at least daily and
ash should never be allowed to build up over a
period of time as this will result in damage to the
fire bars. The flat end of the riddling tool can be
used to carry the ashpan.
It might prove beneficial, when burning more
reactive fuels, to leave the grate in a “neutral”
position, thus directing some under fire air and
some over fire air to the fire bed.

LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE
First, load the fire with starting fuel, i.e. paper, dry
sticks and/or firelighters in the mode chosen,
either wood or solid mineral fuel. Light the fire at
the base leaving all air controls open. Allow the fuel
to reach a steady glow and build the fire up
gradually. Once you have a good fire established
across the grate bed, further fuel can be added as
required.

LOADING THE APPLIANCE (WOOD)
With a full load of wood, the stove will need to be
refuelled approximately once every hour and a
half.
Wood can be stacked higher in the stove than solid
mineral fuel but care must be taken that logs do not
touch the baffle.

LOADING THE APPLIANCE (SOLID MINERAL FUEL)
Solid mineral fuel should be placed in the stove so
that there is no more than a 30° incline of the fuel
bed from front to back. It should not be stacked
touching the rear edge of the baffle as this may
result in damage to the stove.
With a full load of fuel, the stove will need to be
refuelled approximately once every 4 hours

AIR CONTROLS (WOOD)
Wood burns most efficiently with the primary air
control in the closed position and the secondary air
control approximately 60% open. Moving the
secondary air control will control the burn rate of
the Stove.
The secondary air control should not be completely
closed unless the primary air lever is also in the
closed position.
Wood burns best on a bed of ash and it is therefore
only necessary to remove surplus ash from on top
of the grate occasionally. Do not let the ash level
under the grate reach above the primary air inlet.
If allowed to build-up, ash will stifle the airflow
through the grate.
Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood, which should
have been cut, split and stacked for at least 12
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.

AIR CONTROLS (SOLID MINERAL FUEL)
Solid mineral fuel burns most efficiently with the
secondary air control in the closed position. Always

JINCHI05 REV E. 11/11/2014

de-ash before refuelling and do not let the ash level
reach the underside of the grate bars.
Solid mineral fuel produces ash, which if allowed to
build-up will stifle the airflow through the Primary
air inlets and grate. This will eventually cause the
fire to die.
With some solid mineral fuels a residue of burnt
fuel or clinker will accumulate on the grate, allow
the fire to go out periodically to remove this.

IMPORTANT!

We cannot stress firmly enough how important it is
to empty the ashpan regularly. Air passing through
the fire bed cools the grate bars. Distortion or
burning out the grate bars is nearly always caused
by ash being allowed to build up to the underside
of the grate.

EXTENDED BURNING (SOLID MINERAL FUEL)
The stove can be banked up for extended burning.
When burning solid fuel, empty the ashpan. Open
air controls and let the fire burn brightly for a short
period. Refuel and close both air controls, the exact
setting required will depend on the fuel used and
the chimney draw so some practice may be
necessary. To revive the fire, open the air controls
until the fire is burning brightly de-ash if necessary
and refuel. Set air controls as required.

REDUCED COMBUSTION

In order to reduce the combustion of the fire to a
minimum, close the primary air controls, then close
the secondary air slider by moving the handle all
the way to the left. If the controls are left in this
position, the fire will receive the minimum of air
and will die down. If you want to revive the fire it is
recommended that the Primary Air control is open
first and then open the secondary air slider.

REFUELING

Add the new fuel to the fire and open both air
controls fully to allow flames to establish on the
new fuel. Once the fire is established and the logs
are blackened, set the primary air control to its
closed position and adjust the secondary air to give
the desired heat output.

Never leave the stove unattended until you are
certain that the flames are fully established.

Avoid refuelling on to a low fire bed as this may
cause excessive smoke emission. Ensure there are
sufficient embers to ignite the new fuel rapidly.
Alternatively add some more kindling before

adding larger pieces of firewood. Do not add
firewood above the level of the tertiary air inlets on
the sides of the stove. Exceeding this amount can
result in the production of excessive smoke.

EXTINGUI SHING THE FIRE
In order to reduce the rate of combustion, close the
primary air lever and then the secondary air lever
by moving the handles all the way to the left. If the
controls are left in this position, the fire will be
starved of air and go out. If you want to revive the
fire it is recommended that the primary air control
is opened first, then open the secondary air slider.

WARNING!

The stove will remain hot for a considerable time
after the fire has been extinguished

CLEAN AIR ACT 1993 AND SMOKE CONTROL AREAS
Under the Clean Air Act 1993 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.

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.

The Chevin Inset 5 has been recommended as
suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas when
burning wood logs.
