Stanley Aoife
Solid Fuel NB Stove
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is hot while in operation and retains its heat for a long period of time after use.
Children, aged or infirm persons should be supervised at all times and should not be allowed to touch
the hot working surfaces while in use or until the appliance has thoroughly cooled.
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard

AOIFE SOLID FUEL STOVE
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
When installing, operating and maintaining your
Aoife Stove respect basic standards of fire safety.
Read these instructions carefully before commencing the installation. Failure to do so may result in
damage to persons or property. Consult your local
Municipal office and your insurance representative
to determine what regulations are in force. Save
these instructions for future reference.
Special care must be taken when installing the stove
such that the requirements of the Health & 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 with the skin 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 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.
3
The complete installation must be done in
accordance with current Standards and Local
Codes. It should be noted that the requirements
and these publications may be superseded during the life of this manual.
NOTE: Please note that it is a legal requirement
under England & 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.
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.
PRE-INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY
1. After removing the stove from its pack, open the
firedoor and remove all contents from the ashpan.
2. Fit the firedoor handle using the screw provided.
3. Remove the stove from the pallet and position it
in the final installation position (See Location &
Clearance to Combustibles Section).
FLUES
Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where
a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45owith the vertical. Horizontal
flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a
back outlet connection where the length of the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm.
CHIMNEY
The Aoife is a radiant room heater and must be connected to a chimney of the proper size and type. The
chimney must have a diameter of at least 150mm.
Never connect to a smaller size chimney. Do not
connect to a chimney serving another appliance.
Minimum chimney height 4.5 meters from floor on
which stove is installed. The stove is supplied with a
5” flue spigot, the flue installation will require a 5” to
6” increaser which must be fitted within 1 meter of
flue outlet.
A flue that has proved to be unsatisfactory, particularly with regard to down draught should not be used
for venting this appliance until it has been examined
and any faults corrected. An existing masonry chimney should be inspected and if necessary repaired
by a competent mason or relined using an approved
lining system. The stove must be connected to a
chimney with a minimum continuous draught of 0.06
w.g. Poor draught conditions will result in poor performance.
All register plates, restricter plates, damper etc.,
which could obstruct the flue at a future date should
be removed before connecting this appliance.

Fig.1
If connecting to an existing chimney with a flue
diameter of more that 6” it is recommend to line the
flue using a suitable stainless steel flue liner.
Where a masonry chimney is not available a proprietary type of 6”/150mm - twin wall, fully insulated
pipe may be used. The pipe must terminate at a
point not lower than the main ridge of adjacent outside obstructions. With such installation, access to
the chimney must be provided for cleaning purposes. (See Fig.1)
TOP FLUE EXIT
For the top outlet configuration, remove the blanking plate from the hob, remove the flue spigot from
the back plate and fix it to the hob. Fix the outlet
blanking plate to back plate (see Fig. 2). Push the
flue outlet connector pipe (not supplied) into the flue
spigot and cement into place using approved fire
cement ensuring that no cement blocks the flue passageway.
Fig.2
REAR FLUE EXIT
Push the flue connector pipe (not supplied) into the
flue spigot and cement into place using approved
fire cement ensuring that no cement blocks the flue
passageway (see Fig.2).

To minimise the wind effects, the flue termination
point should be located a minimum of 1000mm
from the roof measured vertically and 2300mm
measured horizontally. Where this termination
point does not suffice it may be necessary to extend
the flue pipe so that the termination point is above
the apex. (See Fig.3)
DOWN DRAUGHTS
However well designed constructed and positioned,
the satisfactory performance of the flue can be
adversely affected by down draught caused by nearby hills, adjacent tall buildings or trees. These can
deflect wind to blow directly down the flue or create
a zone of low pressure over the terminal.
A suitable terminal or cowl will usually effectively
combat direct down blow but no cowl is likely to prevent down draught due to a low pressure zone.

VENTILATIONANDCOMBUSTION AIR
REQUIREMENTS
The minimum effective air requirement for this appliance is 13cm2. When calculating combustion air
requirements for this appliance use the following
equation: 550mm2per each kW of rated output
above 5 kW should be provided, where a flue
draught stabiliser is used the total free area shall be
increased by 300mm
2
for each kW of rated output.
If
there is another appliance using air fitted in the
same or adjacent room, it will be necessary to provide an additional air supply.
All materials used in the manufacture of air vents
should be such that the vent is dimensionally stable,
corrosion resistant, and no provision for closure.
The effective free area of any vent should be ascertained before installation. The effect of any grills
should be allowed for when determining the effective
free area of any vent.
Air vents direct to the outside of the building should
be located so that any air current produced will not
pass through normally occupied areas of the room.
An air vent outside the building should not be located less than the dimensions specified within the
Building Regulations and B.S. 8303: Part 1 from
any part of any flue terminal. These air vents must
also be satisfactorily fire proofed as per Building
Regulations and B.S. 8303: Part 1.
Air vents in internal walls should not communicate
with bedrooms, bedsits, toilets, bathrooms or rooms
containing a shower.
Air vents traversing cavity walls should include a
continuous duct across the cavity. The duct should
be installed in such a manner as not to impair the
weather resistance of the cavity.
Joints between air vents and outside walls should be
sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture. Existing
air vents should be of the correct size and unobstructed for the appliance in use. If there is an
extraction fan fitted in adjacent rooms where this
appliance is fitted, additional air vents may be
required to eleviate the possibility of spillage of products of combustion from the appliance/flue while the
fan is in operation. Refer to B.S. 8303 Part 1.
Where such an installation exists, a test for spillage
should be made with the fan or fans and other
appliances using air in operation at full rate, (i.e.
extraction fans, tumble dryers) with all external
doors and windows closed.
If spillage occurs following the above operation, an
additional air vent of sufficient size to prevent this
occurrence should be installed.
PERMANENT AIR VENT
The stove requires an adequate air supply in order
for
it to operate safely and efficiently. The installer
may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion and/or ventilation air. This air vent should
not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.
Extractor Fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same
room as the stove as this can cause the stove to
emit smoke and fumes into the room.
