OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This solid fuel cooker has been manufactured and supplied in compliance with the Health & Safety at Work Act
1974 section 6. We have taken every reasonable care that this product is designed and constructed to be safe
and without risk to health when properly installed and used. This cooker is tested and approved prior to
despatch.

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.

Notice: Any alteration that is not approved by Waterford Stanley may render the warranty void and can effect

your statutory rights.

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noted that the requirements and these publications may be superseded during the life of this manual.

SUMMER OPERATION

(i.e. when Central heating is not in use).
The fire-box of this cooker can not be modified to

reduce the boiler output while cooking. Therefore if
cooking is carried out during the summer months
then adequate dissipation of the heat produced be
allowed for in your central heating circuit to ensure
that the hot water within the circuit does not boil.

CONTROL OF SUBSTANCES

This cooker may contain some of the materials
indicated below. It is the users/installers
responsibility to ensure his/her personal protection
when handling the pertinent items:- fire cement, fuel
beds, artificial fuels. When handling use disposable
gloves. Glues and sealants - exercise caution. If
they are liquid use face mask and disposable
gloves. Glass yarn or rope, mineral wool, rock wool,
insulation pads, ceramic fibre, coal dust may be
harmful if inhaled. They may also irritate the skin,
eyes, nose and throat. Use disposable gloves, face
mask and eye protection. Wash other exposed
parts after handling. When disposing of the rubbish
reduce dust with water and wrap them securely.

INSTALLATION

Installation must comply with the following:

B.S. 8303 - Code of Practice for the installation of
domestic heating and cooking appliances burning
solid mineral fuels.

Building Regulations - Part J.

Local Authority by-laws and other specifications as
they affect the installation of the cooker.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK - LOCATION

When choosing a location for this appliance you
must have:

(a) Sufficient room for the installation (see

clearances), a satisfactory flue (see chimneys),
and an adequate air supply for correct
combustion and operation.

(b) Adequate space for maintenance and air

circulation.

(c) Check that the chimney is clean and clear of

obstructions. Cracked brickwork and leaking
joints should be made good.

HEARTH CONSTRUCTION

Hearth should be strong enough to support total
weight of cooker. When a properly constructed
hearth is not available we recommend that the
Cooker be placed on a slab of foamed concrete 7.5
cm (3”) or a slab of other insulating material. This
hearth must extend at least 45 cm (18”) to the front
and 30 cm (12”) to each side.

CHIMNEY/FLUES

The chimney should have a cross sectional area of
at least 176 sq. cm (28 sq. ins) or an inner diameter
of 150mm to 230mm. (6” to 10”). (See fig. 1 & 2).

Do not connect to a chimney serving another
appliance. Always ensure that the connection is to a
chimney of the same size, never connect to one of
smaller dimensions. Chimneys wholly constructed of
single skin are not recommended under any
circumstances. Due to their inability to retain heat,
such chimneys will inevitably give rise to smoking,
down draught and the formation of condensation.

The flue must be high enough (more than 4.6m
(15ft.) in any case) to allow the flue gasses to vent
into clear air, away from the turbulence that may be
caused by roof structures, other chimney stacks etc.
The venting position should be 1.0m (3’3”) above
any obstruction within a 7.6m (24’9”) radius, if down
draughts are to be avoided.

Where the standard masonry chimney is not
available, a proprietary type of twin wall, fully
insulated pipe may be used. As already stated, the
minimum inner diameter must not be less than 15
c.m. (6”) and the pipe must terminate at a point not
lower than the main ridge or adjacent outside
obstructions. With such installations access to the
chimney must be provided for cleaning purposes.

FLUE BOX

Apply fire cement to the socket in the hob. Attach a
short length of 6” (150mm) I.D. pipe approx. 10”
(250mm) long to the outlet of the flue box by means
of fire cement. Place the flue box on the hob and the
pipe into the wall and consolidate the fluebox and
pipe into the fire cement. Apply 3 or 4 coils of 10mm
(

/2

’) insulating rope to the pipe and fill the wall cavity

with fire cement. (See fig. 3).

FLUE PIPES/CONNECTIONS

Square bends and long horizontal runs of flue piping
must be avoided. There is provision with the Cooker
for two methods of installation i.e. top outlet or back
outlet.

ALL FLUE CONNECTIONS MUST BE
THOROUGHLY SEALED. Blocked chimneys are
dangerous, use only recommended fuels, keep
chimneys and flue ways clear; read the operating
instructions.

STANLEY CAST IRON PIPES ARE HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED FOR INTERIOR USE.

DRAUGHT REQUIREMENTS

When a draught recorded is over .10 inches W.G. a
draught stabiliser should be fitted. Remember a
proper flue is necessary for the efficient operation of
the Cooker. The chimney should be capable of
providing a continuous negative pressure of
between .06 and .10 inches WG.

Excessive draught can be controlled by rotating the
spin valve on the flue box in an anticlockwise
direction.

DOWN DRAUGHTS

However well designed, constructed and positioned,
the satisfactory performance of the flue can be
adversely affected by down draughts caused by
nearby hills, adjacent tall buildings or trees. These
can deflect wind to blow directly down the flue to
create a zone of high pressure over the terminal.

A suitable anti-down draught terminal or cowl will
usually effectively combat direct down draught but
no cowl is likely to prevent down draught due to a
high pressure zone. (See fig. 4).

COOKER CLEARANCE

The Cooker should not be installed at zero
clearance to combustible materials. The sides
should have a minimum clearance of at least 7.5 cm
(3”) from combustible materials unless otherwise
fully insulated.
