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

7

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.

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

WARNING!

You run the risk of serious health problems if the
products of combustion enter the property.

PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING:

Any existing chimney/flue system must be
confirmed as suitable for this appliance as defined
in Building Regulations Document J.

It must be swept and inspected, by a competent
person (see notes), to confirm that is structurally
sound and free from cracks and obstructions.

The diameter of the Flue should not be less than
Ø125mm and not more than Ø230mm. Do not
connect to systems that have large voids or
spaces. If any of these requirements are not met,
the chimney should be lined by a suitable method.

If the chimney is suspected of previously serving
an open fire it must be swept again, within a
month of regular use, to clear any soot that may
have been dislodged due to the variation in
combustion levels and higher flue gas
temperature levels.

The chimney/flue system exit must comply with
Building Regulations Document J

The minimum height of the chimney/flue system
must be 4.5 metres from the hearth to the top
exit. There must be no horizontal sections and

FLUE DRAUGHT

A flue draught of minimum 1.2mm to a maximum

2.5mm water gauge is required for satisfactory
appliance performance.
The flue draught should be checked under fire at
high output with windows and doors closed. To
take the reading cover all air intakes (e.g. foil) and
put a hole through the covering where the top air
intake is for the probe to go through to take the
reading.
If it exceeds the recommended maximum, a
draught stabiliser must be fitted so that the rate of
burning can be controlled and to prevent over
firing. If the reading is less than the recommended
minimum then the performance of the appliance
will be compromised.

CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY/FLUE SYSTEM

The gap between the old fireplace and stove flue
outlet must 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. Both the
chimney and any 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.

AIR SUPPLY
Where necessary, any air opening must be kept
clear of blockage or obstruction. Due consideration
should be given to air requirements for any other
appliances in the same room or space.

MATERIAL CLEARANCES

Any non-combustible walls within 50mm of this
appliance should be at least 200mm thick and
should extend 300mm above the top of the
appliance and at least 1.2 metres above the hearth.
Any walls more than 50mm from the appliance may
be reduced to a thickness of 75mm. Ensure the
inter-connecting flue pipe also has adequate
clearances to combustible materials.

A hearth with a minimum thickness of 125mm
should be provided. The hearth should extend to at
least 300mm in front of the stove and 150mm at
the sides, and should be in accordance with the
current building regulations. In all instances the
hearth and fireplace recess should be made of non­combustible material.

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

FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS

(Fire surround and side wall shown are combustible
and all dimensions stated are minimum)

REMOVING INTERNAL COMPONENTS

All internal components must be removed prior to
fitting the stove. This will make handling the stove
easier; allow access to fixings and the flue outlet;
as well as protect the internal components from
damage during the installation process.

1. Open the door(s)

and remove the
ashpan.

2. Remove the fuel

retainer by lifting
the right-hand
side until it will
clear the opening
and remove.

3. Remove the

catch bar /
front plate by
lifting the right­hand side until
it will clear the
opening and
remove.

4. Remove the grate bars by lifting them away

from the cam bar and pulling forward out of
the rear grate support. The singular bars
should be removed first, noting their positions
(low or high), leaving the two static triangular
bars in place.

N.B. When re-installing, the side bars need to
be installed first, followed by the singular
bars. The final two grate bars should be
installed at the same time for ease of fit.

5. Lift the front of the Baffle and remove the

COMMISSIONING AND HANDOVER

APPLIANCE CHECK

Please check that all components are correctly
assembled and working correctly.

Ensure the Door Catch mechanism is adjusted
correctly and the 12mm Rope Seals around the
door are air tight and sealing.

Ensure the Air Controls are working correctly.

Parkray Stoves recommend that you carry out a
smoke draw test to check the soundness of the
chimney/flue system and seals:

Place a Smoke Pellet in the centre of the Grate,
ensure that all of the Air Controls are fully open
and close the Door.

The smoke should now be drawn up the chimney
and you should be able to see it exit from the
chimney/flue terminal.

We recommend that you do this test with all of
the windows and doors, to the room where the
appliance is fitted, closed.

If there any adjoining room(s) that have an
Extractor Fan fitted, open the adjoining door to
ensure that the chimney/flue system is not
compromised when the fan is operating.
If there is a ceiling fan fitted in the room please
operate it and ensure that it does not affect the
operation of the chimney/flue system.

If any of these tests fail, please re-check the
suitability of the chimney/flue system together
with the ventilation.

A small fire can now be lit and allow the appliance
to heat up slowly ensuring that no products of
combustion enter into the room.

When the appliance has reached working
temperature open the Door and carry out a
spillage test using a smoke match around the door
opening.
If there is excessive spillage please allow the
appliance to cool and then re-check the
chimney/flue system and ventilation.

Do not run the stove at full output for at least 24
hours.

On completion of the commissioning:

Upon completion, 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. Do not
run the stove at full output for at least 24 hours.

Please instruct the user on the safe operation of
this appliance, how the controls work and basic
maintenance requirements.

Ensure that the operating instructions and
appliance tools are left with the customer and the
check lists have been filled out correctly.

Please 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 from the stove.

The user should be warned to use a fireguard to
BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or
infirm persons.

Parkray Stoves also recommend that a CO alarm is
fitted into the room where the appliance is
located.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICING

WARNING!

NO unauthorised modification of this appliance
should be carried out.

IMPORTANT!

In order to ensure continued compliance with
current Building Regulations and Local Authority
Byelaws, this appliance requires regular
maintenance by a competent person.

N.B. Refer to the ‘Removing Internal Components’

section of the installation instructions for details
on how to remove each component.

PERIODS OF PROLONGED NON-USE

If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged
period, 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 fully open. To stop the handle from
seizing leave the door ajar. If the appliance has
been unused for a long period, such as during the
spring and summer months, a competent person
should check the chimney for potential
obstructions before lighting the stove i.e. get the

chimney swept before the start of the heating
season.

BAFFLE

This should be removed and cleaned at least once
a month to prevent any build-up of soot or fly ash
that could lead to blocked flue ways and
dangerous fume emission. If the baffle is removed
the chimney/flue way can be swept through the
appliance.

STOVE BODY

The stove is finished with a heat resistant paint
and this can be cleaned with a soft brush. Do not
clean whilst the stove is hot; wait until it has
cooled down. . At no point should any water
based or other cleaning products be used on the
stove. The finish can be renovated with a
propriety high temperature stove paint.

GLASS PANEL(S)

Clean the glass panel when cool with a propriety
glass cleaner. Highly abrasive substances should
be avoided as these can scratch the glass and
make subsequent cleaning more difficult. Wet
logs on heated glass, a badly aimed poker or

heavy slamming of the doors could crack the glass
panels. The glass will not fracture from heat.
Should you need to replace a glass panel please
ensure you purchase a new Gasket at the same
time. . Please check periodically that the glass clips
and screws have not become loose. They should
only be finger tight to allow for the expansion and
contraction of the glass.

GASKETS

All gasket used on this appliance are produced
from a heat resistant material called Manniglas.
Over time you may find that the gasket changes
colour. This is due to a reduction in the pigment
used in the manufacture of the product, and is no
cause for concern

FIREBRICKS

In normal use, these can last for many years. It is
possible however, to crack them if logs are
continually jammed against them or if they are
frequently struck with a poker. Check periodically
for seriously cracked bricks, which can be replaced
with new; available from your dealer or our spares
website www.hunterstoves.co.uk.

DOOR CATCH

Should the door catch require adjustment, please
follow the procedure below:
Open the Door. Slacken the M6 grub screw, on the
underside of the Handle Boss. Turn the inside
catch shaft one turn clockwise, this will achieve a
tighter lock when the door is closed. Re-tighten
the M6 grub screw. Close and test the operation
of the Handle mechanism.

ROPE

Check the 12mm rope around the door. If rope is
becoming detached, use Parkray Stoves rope glue
to reattach it. If the rope is in a poor condition, a
replacement rope kit may be ordered from the
Parkray Stoves spares range.

CHIMNEY & FLUE WAYS

It is important that the chimney, flue ways and
any connecting flue pipe are swept regularly. This
means at least once a year for smokeless fuels and
at least twice a year for wood and other fuels.
The baffle will need to be removed from its
supports in order to sweep the chimney.

18

JINCHI05 REV E. 11/11/2014

Only wire-centred sweeps’ brushes fitted with a
guide wheel should be used. If it is not possible to
sweep all parts of the chimney through the
appliance, ensure there is adequate access to
cleaning doors. 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.

SEASONAL USE

If the appliance has been unused for a long period
of time, such as during the spring and summer
months, the chimney should be checked for
potential obstructions by a competent person
before lighting the stove.

DE-ASHING

De-ashing should be carried out on a regular basis
to avoid a buildup of ash and ensure sufficient
primary air flow. Empty the ashpan regularly to
prevent ash reaching the underside of the great
bars.

ANNUAL SERVICE

Parkray Stoves recommend that this appliance is
serviced annually, preferably prior to the start of
the heating season, thus avoiding any delay in
receiving replacement components, should you
need them. I you feel unable to undertake this
task, Parkray Stoves recommend that you contact
the installation engineer for advice.

Remove all the internal components:
Riddling Bars, Cam Bar, Catch Bar, Ashpan, Side
Plates and Baffle.
Clean them with a wire brush and inspect them
for damage.
Sweep the chimney/flue system if necessary.
Clean down the internal surfaces of the appliance
using a scraper or wire brush.
Inspect these surfaces for damage/corrosion.
If corrosion or damage is found we advise that you
consult with your installer about
rectification/repair.
Brush out or vacuum the inside of the appliance
and re-fit the internal components.
Inspect the Glass and Gasket. Clean the Glass with
a non-abrasive cleaner if required. If the Gasket is
torn or damaged we recommend that is replaced
to ensure that no products of combustion enters
the room when the appliance is used.
Brush down the outer surface and touch up the
paint if necessary.

Burn the appliance at a low rate, after
maintenance, to allow any new seals, paint or glue
cure properly. The appliance may emit unpleasant
odours during this process, please ensure the
room is well ventilated.
