ASHLING SOLID FUEL STOVE INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
When installing, operating and maintaining your
Ashling 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 and 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.
2
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publications may be superseded during the life of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.
Fig.1
Fig.2
3. Remove the stove from the wooden pallet.
4. Unscrew the two 1/4” x 1/2” round head screws
from the base and fit the front ash tray using the
two screws (see Fig.2).
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.
PRE INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY
1. After removing the stove from its pack, open the
ashpit door and remove the contents.
2. Fit the front door handle using the M8 front
door handle screw, as shown in Fig.1. Open
the front door and remove the contents.
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.
Fit the primary air control knob to the flexible drive.
(for the boiler model, ensure that the air damper
knob spacer is placed between the knob and the
flexible drive bracket on the back of the boiler). See
Fig.3
FLUES
Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 37.5
o
with the vertical.
Horizontal flue runs should be avoided except in the
case of a back outlet appliance, when the length of
the horizontal section should not exceed 300mm.
FLUE PIPES
A flue pipe should only be used to connect an appliance to a chimney and should not pass through any
roof space.
Flue pipes may be of any of the following materials:
(a) Cast iron as described in BS 41: 1973 (1981),
or
(b) Mild steel with a wall thickness of at least 3mm,
or
(c) Stainless steel with a wall thickness of at
least 1mm and as described in BS EN 10095:
1999 Specification for stainless and
heat resisting steel plate, sheet and strip, for
Grade 316 S11, 316 S13, 316 S16, 316 S31,
316 S33, or the equivalent Euronorm 88-71
designation, or
(d) Vitreous enamelled steel complying with BS
6999: 1989.
Flue pipes with spigot and socket joints should be fitted with the socket uppermost.
CHIMNEY
The Ashling is a radiant room heater and must be
connected to a chimney of the proper size and type.
The chimney must have a cross-sectional area of at
least 30 square inches 18150sq. mm or a diameter
of at least 6” (150mm). It is best to connect to a
chimney of the same size, as connection to a larger
size may result in a somewhat less draught.
Do not connect to a chimney serving another appliance. Minimum chimney height 15’ (4.1 meters)
from floor on which stove is installed. An existing
masonry chimney should be inspected and if necessary repaired by a competent mason. The stove
Fig.3
must be connected to a chimney with a minimum
continuous draft of .06” wg. Poor draft conditions
will result in poor performance.
Chimneys for use with solid fuel appliances should
be capable of withstanding a temperature of 1100
o
C
without any structural change which would impair
the stability or performance of the chimney.
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
anti-down draught 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.
VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR
REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is rated at no more than 8kW. It is
imperative that there is sufficient air supply to the
stove in order to support correct combustion. The air
supply to this appliance must comply with B.S. 8303:
Part 1and current Building Regulations. The minimum effective air requirement for this appliance is
16.5cm2.
If a draught stabiliser is used then this increases to
40.5cm2. When calculating combustion air requirement for this appliance use the following equation: a
total free area of at least 550mm
2
per kW of rated
output above 5kW shall be provided. If there is
another air using appliance fitted in the same or
adjacent room, it will be necessary to calculate additional air supply. All materials used in the manufacture of air vents should be such that the vent is
dimensionally stable and corrosion resistant.
The effective free area of any vent should be ascertained before installation. The effect of any screen
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 from any part of any flue terminal.
These air vents must also be fire proofed as per
Building Regulations.
3
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 air extraction fan or other
air using appliance fitted in adjacent rooms where
this appliance is fitted, additional air vents may be
required to alleviate the possibility of spillage of
products of combustion from the appliance/flue
while the fan is in operation.
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.
COMMISSIONING & HANDOVER
On completion of the installation allow a suitable
period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry
out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to
ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the
stove up the chimney and emitted safely to the
atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least
24 hours.
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 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 what to do should smoke or fumes
be emitted from the stove. The customer should be
warned to use a fire guard to BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

TOP FLUE EXIT
Boiler Model
For the top outlet configuration, connect bend (not
supplied) into flue outlet socket at the rear of the
stove and cement into place using approved fire
cement ensuring that no cement blocks the flue passageway. (See Fig. 4).
REAR FLUE EXIT
Boiler Model
For the rear flue outlet configuration, push in the flue
connector pipe (not supplied) into the flue outlet
socket at the rear of the stove and cement into place
using approved fire cement ensuring that no cement
blocks the flue passageway. (See Fig.5)
Fig. 5
NON BOILER MODEL
This stove can be connected to either a top flue exit
or a rear flue exit by simply reversing the orientation
of the flue spigot on the flue spigot flange. See Figs.
6 & 7.
FLOOR PROTECTION
When installing this heater on a combustible floor, a
floor protector, must be used, consisting of a layer of
noncombustible material at least
3/8” (10mm) thick
or
1/4” (6mm) thick covered with 1/8” (3mm) sheet
metal. It is required to cover the area under the
heater and to extend to at least 18” (460mm) at the
front and 8” (200mm) to the sides, and rear, this will
provide protection from sparks and embers which
may fall out from the door when stoking or fuelling.

LOCATION
There are several conditions to be considered in
selecting a location for your Ashling Stove.
a. Position in the area to be heated- central
locations are usually best.
b. Allowances for proper clearances to
combustibles.
Note: Sufficient space should be given around
the back and sides of the stove to allow
access to the air control damper.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
Maintain at least the following clearances to all
combustible material:
From the front 91 cm (36”)
From the back 30 cm (12”)
From the sides 46 cm (18”)
From the flue pipe 91 cm (36”) straight up only
It is recommended that this appliance is sited next to
and on a non-combustible surface. A minimum all
round clearance of 100 mm will allow air circulation
and not impede the performance of the stove.
