Health and Safety Precautions
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.

Chimney
The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to Building Regulations.
Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry, free from cracks and obstructions. The diameter of the flue should not be less than 152mm and not more than 230mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined by a suitable method.
The chimney must be swept before connection to the stove.
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.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer/stockist.
If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, 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.
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. 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
An existing fireplace opening can be bricked up or sealed with a register plate. A short length of flue pipe of a minimum 152mm internal diameter may then be used to connect the stove to the chimney. This flue pipe should be of 316 grade stainless steel or vitreous enamelled, nominal thickness 1.2mm. Ensure that the pipe end is no closer than 76mm to the side or rear chimney walls.
Ideally, the old fireplace should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamlined entry into the flue way. The length of any horizontal run of flue pipe must not exceed 152mm.
It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney-flue are sealed and made airtight.
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.
Air Supply
The room or space containing this appliance needs a permanent, unobstructed air opening of at least 1100 mm2.
If a draught stabiliser is fitted, the air opening should be at least 3200 mm
2
. Due consideration should
be given to air requirements for any other appliances in the same room or space.
Page 6
Material Clearances
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free air gap of at least 150mm must be left around the sides and top to obtain maximum heat output. All non-combustible walls closer than 300mm to the stove should be at least 75mm thick. Allow an apron of a least 300mm at the fronts of the stove and 150mm on either side. The hearth on which the stove is to be placed should not be less than 125mm thick and should be in accordance with the current building regulations. Care should be taken to level the stove using the adjusting screws in the feet. 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.
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
At the side of the stove 900mm
There should be NO furniture placed within a distance of 900mm from any surface of the stove.
Note: combustible material refers to any material that will degrade when subjected to heat e.g. plaster.
Commissioning and Handover
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. Do not run the stove at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning, ensure that the operating instructions and operating tools for the stove are left with the customer. 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.

Operating Instructions
This appliance is not suitable for use in a shared flue
This appliance should not be operated with the doors open
Aerosol Sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
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, secondary and tertiary air inlets must be kept clear from obstruction and blockage.
Primary Air
Primary air is controlled via the sliders in the doors. This provides a conventional air draught to the bed of the fire.
Secondary Air
Secondary air is controlled via the sliders above the doors, it is this “Airwash” that keeps a clean and uninterrupted view of the fire.
Tertiary Air Tertiary air aids in good secondary combustion of the fuel and reducing emissions into the chimney and environment. Adjusting the cover plates on the base of the stove can control tertiary air.
Damper Assembly (Optional)
When the damper is set in the open position the chimney draws at full draught, increasing the volume of airflow through the stove and flue. Shutting the damper restricts the flow, slowing the rate of burning. Close all other air controls and allow the fire to die down before closing the damper.
Warning!
This Appliance will be hot when in operation and due care
should be taken. The riddling tool may be used to operate the door handle. Thick gloves could be used to operate the
primary and secondary air controls.
Page 8
Multifuel Grate
Your Parkray Stove is fitted with a locomotive type grate. So that de­ashing 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 fuels.
To burn solid mineral fuels place the operating tool over the riddling spigot and pull it down towards you. This will stagger the front faces of the Riddling Bars. When left in that position, air is directed under and up through the slots in the firebed, 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 firebed 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.
To burn wood, push the operating tool up and away from you so that the front faces of the riddling Bars are inline. 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.
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 firebed.
Notes on solid mineral fuel burning
Solid mineral fuel should be placed in the stove so that there is no more than a 30° incline of the fuel bed from each door to the centre of the stove. It should not be stacked above the level of the tertiary air bar 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 2 hours. Solid mineral fuel burns most efficiently with the secondary air control in the closed position. The primary air valve can then be used to control the burn rate of the stove. Always de-ash before refuelling and do not let the ash build up to the underside of the grate bars. Solid mineral fuel produces ash, which if allowed to build up will stifle the airflow through the 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 firebed 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.
Notes on Wood burning
With a full load of wood, the stove will need to be refuelled approximately once every hour. Wood can be stacked higher in the stove than solid mineral fuel but care must be taken that logs do not touch the baffle. Wood burns most efficiently with the primary air valves in the open position and the secondary controls partially open. Moving the secondary controls will control the burn rate of the stove. Note - primary and secondary air is needed to light the stove, see section entitled ‘Lighting the Stove’
Page 9
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 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.
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. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort we would suggest that during this period you leave all doors and windows open. 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.
Extended burning
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. It may also be necessary to adjust the tertiary air cover plates on the bottom base of the stove. 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 rate of combustion, close the primary air sliders then close the secondary air sliders by moving the handle all the way to the left. If the controls are left in this position, the fire will be starved of air and will go out. If you want to revive the fire it is recommended that the primary air controls are opened first, then open the secondary air sliders.
Warning!- The stove will remain hot for a considerable time after the fire has been extinguished.
Solid Mineral Fuel Burning
Recommended Solid Mineral Fuels
Only authorised fuels may be used in UK smoke control areas. A list of authorised fuels can be found at
http://uksmokecontrolareas.co.uk/fuels.php
This stove has been independently tested and approved to burn manufactured and natural smokeless fuels that appear in the HETAS guide. A current list of approved fuels can be found at
http://hetas.co.uk/public/hetas_guide.html
Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the suitable fuels listed above, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels.
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 coal merchant or:

Safety notes for your guidance
FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS – Always use a fireguard in the presence of children, the elderly or the infirm. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 6539 – Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances.
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, 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 safe setting – careful air supply control should be exercised at all times.
WARNING – FUME EMISSION
Properly installed and operated, this appliance will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and refuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission 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 eject 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.
Adverse weather – In a small number of installations, occasional local weather conditions (e.g. wind from a particular direction) may cause downdraught in the flue and cause the stove to emit fumes. In these circumstances, the stove should not be used. A professional flue installer will be able to advise on solutions to this problem (e.g. anti-downdraught cowl).
Important! – Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as this appliance.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE
Raise the alarm to let others in the house know.
Call the Fire Brigade.
Reduce the appliance-burning rate by closing all air controls.
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 signs of excessive heat.
If the wall is becoming hot, move the furniture away. Ensure that the Fire Brigade can gain access to your roof space in order to check this area for signs of fire spread.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
NO unauthorised modification of this appliance should be carried out. This appliance requires regular maintenance by a competent engineer.
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. The finish can be renovated with Parkray stove paint.
Glass Panels
Clean the glass panels when cool with a Parkray 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.
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.
Door Catch
The door catch may require adjustment to maintain the door seal. By slackening the locking nut and turning the door handle one turn you will achieve a tighter lock when the door is closed.
Rope
Check the rope around the door and glass. If the 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.
Page 12
Chimney and 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 (see assembly instructions).
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, a competent person should check the chimney for potential obstructions before lighting the stove.
Gaskets
All gasket used on this appliance are produced from a heat resistant material called Manniglas. The glass gasket will have to be replaced when a new piece of glass is fitted as the gaskets become brittle after firing the stove. Over time you may also find that the gasket changes colour. This is due to a reduction in the pigment used in the manufacture of the product and no cause for concern.
Troubleshooting
Fire will not burn
Check that:
1. The air inlet is not obstructed in any way.
2. Chimneys and flue ways are clear.
3. A suitable fuel is being used.
4. There is an adequate air supply into the room.
5. An extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the stove.
6. Flue draught is above minimum level (see installation instructions).
Fire blazing out of control
Check that:
1. The doors are tightly closed.
2. The air controls are all in the closed position.
3. A suitable fuel is being used.
4. The glass retaining clips are not loose.
5. The door rope seals are in good condition
6. Flue draught is below maximum level (see installation instructions).
