IMPORTANT OPERATION / MAINTENANCE NOTES
Now that your Stanley Stove is installed and no doubt you are looking forward to many comforts it will provide,
we would like to give you some tips on how to get the best results from your stove.
1. We would like if you could take some time to read the operating instructions/hints, which we are
confident, will be of great benefit to you.
2. Do not burn fuel with a high moisture content, such as a damp peat or unseasoned timber. This will
only result in a build up of tar in the stove and in the chimney.
3. IMPORTANT: The first few fires should be relatively small to permit the refractory to set properly and
season the stove. During these firings it is recommended to ventilate the room as an unpleasant
(not toxic) odour may be emitted as the paint is completing curement.
LEAVE THE DOOR SLIGHTLY AJAR DURING THE FIRST FIRING TO PREVENT THE ROPE FROM STICKING TO THE PAINT DURING THE CURING PROCESS.
4. Inspect the flue-ways of the stove weekly and ensure that there are no blockages. Check flue
ways before lighting especially after a shut down period. Please see chimney cleaning section.
5. Before loading fresh fuel into the firebox, riddle fully to remove all ashes. This will allow better and
cleaner burning. See Re-Fuelling section.
6. Never allow a build up of ashes in the ash pan, as this will cause the grate to burn out prematurely.
Empty the ashpan when refuelling.
7. Avoid slow burning of damp or unseasoned fuel as this will result in tarring flue ways and chimney i.e. peat or timber.
8. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty of air for combustion.
9. Do not burn rubbish/household plastic.
10. Clean the chimney at least twice a year.
11. Burning soft fuels such as timber and peat will stain the glass. Regular cleaning will prevent
permanent staining. Clean with soapy water when cool.
12. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance away from unit, please see section for clearances
to combustibles.
13. Never use aerosol spray near the appliance when it is in operation.
14. For safety reasons never leave children or the elderly unaccompanied while stove is in use. Use a
fire guard.
15. Avoid contact with the appliance when in use as stove reaches very high operating temperatures.
16. This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer.

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
THE CLEAN AIR ACT 1993 AND SMOKE
CONTROL AREAS
Under the Clean Air Act 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).
In England appliances are exempted by publication
on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with
changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean
Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act
2015. Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers
under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform
(Scotland) Act 2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by
publication on a list by the Department of
Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under
Section 16 of the Environmental Better regulation
Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations
made by Welsh Ministers.
Further information on the requirements of the
Clean Air Act can be found here:
https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
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 Solis 500 and 900 stoves have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas
when burning wood logs.
When installing, operating and maintaining your
Solis Inset 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.
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.
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 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.
“IMPORTANT WARNING”
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that
serves any other heating appliance.
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.
Please refer to the current standards, BS EN 152871:2007 Design, Installation and Commissioning of
chimneys. BS EN 14336:2004: Heating Systems in
Buildings. Installation & Commissioning of Water
Based Heating Systems. BS EN 12828: 2003;
Heating Systems in Buildings. Design of Water
Based Heating Systems. BS EN 12831: 2003;
Heating Systems in Buildings. method for
calculation of the design heat load.

Your Solis Inset stove is supplied with the following
items:
• Ashpan
• Glove
• OSA Connection
FLUES
Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45
o
with the vertical. Horizontal
flue runs should be avoided in order to minimise flue
resistance and to make sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45
o
bends rather than a 90
o
bend.
CHIMNEY
Do not connect to a chimney serving another
appliance.
The stove 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 19350sq. 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.
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, restrictor plates, damper etc.,
which could obstruct the flue at a future date should
be removed before connecting this appliance.
If connecting to an existing chimney with a flue
diameter of more that 8” 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.
A chimney / flue termination must be located to minimise wind effects, a basic guide is that the distance
from the termination to the roof should be at least
2300mm when measured horizontally and at least
1000mm when measured vertically, (see Fig.1). In
circumstances where there are adjoining buildings/
structures/ roof openings there are additional
requirements, please refer to building regulations
part J.
