TARA SOLID FUEL CENTRAL HEATING STOVE
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

When installing, operating and maintaining your
Tara 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.

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.

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.

4

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publications may be superseded during the life of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

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 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 must be
connected to a chimney with a minimum continuous
draft of .06 wg. Poor draft conditions will result in
poor performance.

PRE INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY

1. After removing the stove from its pack, open
the front door and remove the contents.

2. Fit the front door handle using the M8 screw,
as shown in Fig.1.

3. Remove the stove from the wooden pallet.

4. Fit the front ash tray by slotting into place on
the front and secure it using the screws
provided.

In adverse weather conditions, down drafts may be
experienced causing smoke or fumes to spill into the
room. If this occurs shut the appliance down by
closing the air controls. If the problem persists seek
the advice of a chimney sweep.

Fig 2

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 except in the case of a
back outlet appliance, when the length of the hori­zontal section should not exceed 150mm.

In order to minimise flue resistance and to make
sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45

o

bends rather than a 90obend.

The flue termination point must be located to min­imise any wind effects. Wind effects of suction,
pressure zones and turbulence can be created by
the roof and adjacent objects. Wind effects can also
be created by natural land contours.

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)

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) 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

(c) Vitreous enamelled steel complying with BS

6999: 1989.

Flue pipes with spigot and socket joints should be fit­ted with the socket uppermost.

Clearance to combustibles must be adhered to
when fitting the flue pipe.

The appliance is suitable for continuous operation
on solid mineral fuel and intermittent operation on
wood logs.

TOP FLUE EXIT

For top outlet configuration remove the hob from the
top of the stove, turn the hob upside down and place
it on the floor, taking care not to damage it. Remove
the hob blanking plate by unscrewing the two
screws from underneath the hob.

Next remove the flue blanking plate from the top of
the stove by unscrewing the two screws, connect
this blanking plate to the rear flue outlet at the back
of the stove. Replace the hob in the correct position.

Connect the connector pipe (not supplied) into the
top flue outlet socket at the top of the stove and
cement into place using approved fire cement ensur­ing that no cement blocks the flue passageway.

VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR REQUIRE­MENTS

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 1.

The minimum effective air requirement for this appli­ance is 21cm

2

(3.25in2). 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.

Air vents in internal walls should not communicate
with 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.

REAR FLUE EXIT

For rear flue outlet configuration push in flue con­nector pipe (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.

It is recommended that a minimum clearance of
100mm be maintained from the sides and rear of the
appliance to a tiled fireplace or masonry wall, espe­cially on the right of the appliance as access is
required for the controls.

Fig. 5

7

Fig.6

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.

The connector may pass through walls or partitions
constructed of combustible materials provided the
connector is either listed for wall pass-through or is
routed through a device listed for a wall pass­through and is installed in accordance with the con­ditions of the listing. Any unexposed metal that is
used as part of a wall pass-through system is
exposed to flue gases shall be constructed of stain­less steel or other equivalent material that will resist
corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue gas at
temperatures up to 982

o

C.

FLOOR PROTECTION

It is recommended that this appliance is installed on
a solid, level, non- combustible hearth conforming to
current Building Regulations.

The hearth should extend at least 127mm from the
sides and rear of the stove and 460mm from the
front. See Fig. 6.

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.

Where such a 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 a permanent and adequate air
supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the
installer will have fitted a permanent air supply vent
into the room in which the stove is installed to pro­vide combustion 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.

LOCATION

There are several conditions to be considered in
selecting a location for your Tara Stove.

a. Position in the area to be heated, central

locations are usually best.

b. Allowances for proper clearances to

combustibles.

PLUMBING (BOILER MODEL)

REGULATIONS

The plumbing must be in accordance with all
relevant regulations and practices. It must include a
gravity circuit with expansion pipe, open to the
atmosphere. The central heating will normally be
pump-driven as with other types of boilers.

GRAVITY CIRCUIT

The gravity circuit consists of the domestic hot water
tank of 135 litres indirect cylinder, fixed in an upright
position, recommended for hot water storage and it
should be connected to the boiler by 28mm diame­ter flow and return piping. The pipes should not
exceed 7.8 meters (25ft) in length and cylinder and
pipework should be fully lagged. The shorter the run
of pipe work the more effective the water heating.

Fig.8

WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT PRIMARY
AIR SUPPLY TO THE SPIN VALVE AT THE
FRONT OF THE STOVE

There must be no gate valves on this circuit and it
must have an expansion pipe exhausting to atmos­phere. Cylinder and pipe work should be lagged to
minimise heat loss.

This diagram illustrates the basic principal of water
heating systems and must not be regarded as a
working drawing.

system. Care should be taken to ensure that the
domestic hot water installation is correctly installed
and that it complies with all relevant codes of prac­tice. If this appliances is being connected to an exist­ing system, it is strongly recommended to check the
following:

(a) That the system is sound.
(b) That the pipe work is adequately insulated.
(c) Are there any modifications necessary to
make the domestic hot water system more
efficient.

SAFETY VALVE

A non-adjustable 3 bar safety valve must be fitted to
the primary flow pipe adjacent to boiler connection
ensuring that any discharge will not create a hazard
to occupants or cause damage to electrical compo­nents or property.

NOTE: We strongly advise the use of pipe lagging
if the installation is likely to be exposed to situations
where the temperatures will drop to a level consis­tent with frost.

Only competent personnel should be employed to
carry out any work on your domestic hot water sys­tem.

DIRECT DOMESTIC CYLINDER

A 227 Litre (60 Gallon) direct domestic cylinder can
be connected to this cooker using copper or stain­less steel 28mm O.D. (1”) flow & return pipes. We
recommend that the cylinder is lagged along with
the pipework. We do not recommend the use of a
direct cylinder in areas where there is a high
concentration of lime or minerals in the water.

INDIRECT DOMESTIC CYLINDER

A 227 Litre (60 Gallon) indirect domestic cylinder
can be connected to this cooker using copper or
stainless steel 28mm O.D (1”) flow and return pipes.
We recommend that the cylinder is lagged along the
pipework.

INJECTOR TEE

Where the gravity and central heating circuits join
together to return to the stove we recommend the
use of an injector tee connection, situated as close
to the unit as possible. This type of tee encourages
a stable flow of water through both circuits and
helps to prevent priority being given to the stronger
flow, which is most commonly the pumped central
heating circuit.

WATER CIRCUIT TEMPERATURE

The return water temperature should be maintained
at not less than 40°C so as to avoid condensation on
the boiler and return piping. Fitting a pipe thermo­stat to the flow pipe of the gravity circuit and wiring it
into the pump control will ensure rapid circulation of
the hot water.

In some circumstances it may be possible to over­heat the appliance and the water inside will boil.
This will be evident by the sound of a knocking noise
coming from the appliance and pipes around the
house. If this occurs close off all air controls and
manually start the central heating pump if fitted.
One radiator on the heating circuit should be uncon­trolled to act as a heat leak in the event that the
appliance overheats and has nowhere to discharge
a build up of hot water should the heating circuit be
satisfied. Be aware that steam and boiling water
willl be expended from any open vent from the heat­ing system probably in the roof space at the expan­sion tank.

PIPE THERMOSTAT

The fitting of a pipe thermostat to the flow pipe is
essential in order to activate the water circulation
pump when the water reaches the selected
temperature.

When the water temperature falls below the select­ed temperature the pipe thermostat will cut off the
water circulation pump in order to allow the boiler to
recover.

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.

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 fireguard to BS 6539 in the pres­ence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SUITABLE FUELS

COAL, ANTHRACITE, PEAT, WOOD SYNTHETIC
LOGS, OR OTHER FUELS. “Never use gasoline”
gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in
this heater. Keep all such liquid well away from the
heater at all times. Operate stove only with fuelling
door closed. This heater is hot whilst in operation.
Keep children, clothing and furniture a safe distance
away.

Fig.12

LIGHTING

1. Before lighting the stove, ensure that any build up of ashes in the fire
box has been removed and that the ashpan has been emptied.

2. Open the firebox and cover the grate with crumpled pieces of paper.

3. Lay pieces of kindling on top of the paper towards the back of the fire
box.

4. Open the primary air inlet by turning the spin valve at the front of the
stove anticlockwise.

5. Open the secondary air control by sliding the control knob located
over the top of the fire door to the left.

6. Ignite the paper and close the firedoor.

7. When the kindling is well alight, open the fire door and add more kin­dling of a larger size to sustain the fire. Close the firedoor.

8. Never use inflammable liquid i.e. gasoline, petrol paraffin etc. to

start or “freshen up” afire in this heater.

9. When a hot bed of fuel is established, add the normal fuel and adjust
the spin valve to the required setting.

10. To shut the fire down, do not add fuel, make sure that the firedoor is
properly closed and that the primary and secondary air controls are all
in the closed position. Cutting off the air supply will reduce the heat
output.

11. Following a prolonged shutdown of the appliance perhaps after the
summer break, ensure the flueway is free from obstruction prior to
re-lighting.

Re-fuelling -Open the firedoor and reload, close the firedoor.

13

Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and
commissioning checks described in the installation instructions have been
carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound
and free from any obstructions. As part of the stove’s handover the installer
should have demonstrated how to operate correctly.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Now that your Stanley Solid Fuel 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. Clean the flue-ways of the stove every week and ensure that there are no blockages. Check
flueways before lighting especially after a shut down period. Please refer to manual for
instructions.

4. Before loading fresh fuel into the firebox, riddle fully to remove all ashes this will allow better and
cleaner burning. See Re-Fuelling Section.

5. 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 re-fuelling.

6. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty of air for combustion.

7. Do not use as an incinerator burning rubbish/household waste.

8. Do not leave ash-door open for long periods as this will over heat the unit causing unnecessary
damage. Close the ash door between removing and replacing the ashpan.

9. Clean the chimney at least twice a year.

10. Burning soft fuels such as timber and peat will stain the glass. Regular cleaning will prevent per­manent staining. Clean with soapy water when cool.

11. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance away from unit, please consult manual for clear­ance to combustible table.

12. For safety reasons never leave children or the elderly unaccompanied while stove is in use. Use
a fire guard.

13. Avoid contact with unit when in use as stove reaches very high operating temperatures.

14. This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer.

Use only replacement parts recommended by Stanley. Making unauthorised modifications, or using
unauthorised parts will invalidate your guarantee and may cause damage or injury.

PRIMARY AIR SETTINGS - STANDARD

The spin valve (Part No. 12), located at the bottom
end of the door controls the primary air supply to the
stove. For maximum heat output and burn rate
rotate the spin valve (Part No. 12) fully in an anti­clockwise direction and for a minimum heat output
and burn rate rotate the spin valve clockwise until
fully closed. You will soon learn spin valve settings
to best suit your requirements.

PRIMARY AIR SETTINGS - OUTSIDE AIR

The spin valve will be locked closed. The primary air
can now be controlled using the knob on the top of
the rear of the stove (See Fig.15). The knob can be
rotated from setting 0 - 6, 0 is outside air inlet closed
and 6 is maximum air setting.

IMPORTANT: The first few fires should be
relatively small to permit the refractory to set
properly and to season the stove.

RECOMMENDED FUELS

All fuels should be stored under cover and kept
as dry as possible prior to use.

This appliance has been tested using seasoned
wood logs and manufactured briquetted smokeless
fuel (Ancit) for closed appliances, sized between
20g and 140g. Other fuels are commercially avail­able and may give similar results. Wood logs up to
406mm long are suitable. All fuels should be stored
under cover and kept as dry as possible prior to use.
Do not use fuels with a Petro-coke ingredient as this
may cause the grate to overheat, causing damage.
Reduced outputs will result when fuels of lower
calorific values are used. Never use gasoline or
gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid or similar liquids to start or freshen up a fire in
this heater. Keep all such liquid well away from the
heater at all times. Operate the stove only with the
fuelling door closed except for re-fuelling.

This stove has obtained HETAS Ltd approval for
burning natural and manufactured smokeless fuels
and wood logs only as detailed in recommended
fuels below. HETAS Approval does not cover the
use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the rec­ommended fuels listed, nor does it cover instructions
for the use of other fuels.

WARNING:

Properly installed, operated and maintained this
stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling
may occur. However, persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If
fume emission does persist, then the following
immediate action should be taken -

(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room.

(b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of

fuel from the stove.

(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean

if required.

(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause

of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.

The most common cause of fume emission is flue­way or chimney blockage. For your own safety
these must be kept clean at all times.

WARNING: Failure to comply with the Installation
and Operating Instructions outlined above may
result in carbonmonoxide entering the house rather
than being drawn up the chimney.

bustion chamber. Add fuel to the fire, close fire door
and re-set spin valve to required setting.

DE-ASHING

Never allow ashpan to over fill as it will cause dam­age to fire fence. When ash build-up becomes
excessive in the fire chamber riddle the fire until all
dead ash has fallen through to the ashpan.Open the
front door (Part No.2) and remove ashpan (Part
No.17) using the operating tool (Part No.15). Close
the front door (Part No. 2). When the ash is dis­posed of, replace the empty ashpan.

OPERATION

To operate the Secondary Air, push to open and pull
to close. Open secondary air slider only when the
fire is established.

Note: Close off the secondary air for overnight burn.

OVERNIGHT BURNING

To achieve an overnight or a low burn rate, close the
Air Wash Shutter fully, close the front spin valve fully
or leave it open about half a turn depending on
draught conditions. If the fuel load is too small or the
draught too strong the spin valve may need to be
closed even further to sustain the low burn rate.

REMEMBER: Coal gases are toxic.

RE-FUELLING

Riddle the fire by connecting the grate operating tool
onto the rocker connection located at the bottom
front of the stove, then gently pull and push the rock­er arm until all dead ash has fallen through into the
ashpan. Before opening the door, open the spin
valve by turning it anti-clockwise, as this will help to
eliminate any smoke or fly ash resident in the com-

Fig.17

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

The ashpan must be emptied every day.

If ashes are allowed to build up to grate level the fire­box insert could be damaged by overheating. We
recommend that you remove ashes after you have
riddled the fire.

Ashes should be placed in a metal or other non­combustible container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible material, pending final disposal. If
ashes are buried in soil, or otherwise dumped they
should be retained in the closed container until they
are thoroughly cooled.

TO CLEAN CHIMNEY OUTLET
(Boiler Model)

Remove baffle underneath the boiler cross flow
chamber by lifting it upwards and pulling it outwards
and insert cleaning brush. Replace baffle before
lighting fire.

When fitted correctly the baffle should fall forward to
close onto the bottom of the boiler. The appliance
will not function correctly with this baffle misaligned
or missing.

Fig.19

Replace any damaged parts and replace firebox
insert and grate ensuing that the pull rod is inserted
back through the opening on the left hand side of the
boiler and also through the hole on the front panel.

Replace the pull rod knob and the 3 fire fence before
relighting.

FIRE SAFETY

To provide reasonable fire safety, the following
should be given serious consideration.

1. Do not over fire the stove.

2. Overfiring will also damage painted or enamel
finish.

3. Install a smoke detector in the room.

4. A conveniently located class “A” fire extin­guisher to contend with small fires resulting
from burning embers.

5. A practical evacuation plan.

6. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:-

(a) Notify the fire department.
(b) Prepare occupants for immediate

evacuation.

(c) Close all openings into the stove.

(d) While awaiting the fire department watch

for ignition to adjacent combustibles from
overheated stove pipe or from embers or
sparks from the chimney.

VITREOUS ENAMEL CLEANING

General cleaning must be carried out when the
stove is thoroughly cool.

If this stove is finished in a high gloss vitreous
enamel, to keep the enamel in the best condition
observe the following tips:

1. Wipe over daily with a soapy damp cloth,
followed by a polish with a clean dry duster.

2. For stubborn deposits a soap impregnated
pad can be carefully used on the vitreous
enamel.

3. Only products recommended by the Vitreous
Enamel Association, these products carry
the Vitramel label.

(Non Boiler Model)

Remove the fire bricks on each side. Remove sec­ondary air pipe by removing the retaining screw on
left hand side. Remove the baffle by first lifting it up
and pulling it forward, then rotate it down around the
baffle supports. Replace the baffle, the firebricks
and the secondary air pipe before the fire is lit.
Ensure the secondary air pipe is sealed to the right
hand side with fire cement.

TO REPLACE FIRE GRATE

Remove the 3 fire fence at the front of the stove,
unscrew the pull rod knob from the pull rod bar locat­ed at the front of the stove in the bottom left hand
corner. Pull the circular firegrate in the centre of the
stove upwards to the right as far as is possible.
Then twist the circular firegrate so that the front
edge is lifted up and the back edge is moved down
through the hole in the firebed insert. Push the cir­cular firegrate down through the firebed insert.

The circular firegrate can then be removed by push­ing it to the rear of the stove to relieve the pull rod
bar and then putting it out under the firebox insert.
The firebox insert can be removed by fitting the fire­box insert up at the front, then rotate the firebox
insert until it can slide diagonally forward through the
opening in the front panel.

4. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS OR OVEN

CLEANSERS CONTAINING CITRIC ACID
ON ENAMELLED SURFACES. ENSURE
THAT THE CLEANSER MANUFACTUR­ERS INSTRUCTIONS ARE ADHERED TO.

GLASS CLEANING

The glass will self clean when there is sufficient heat
generated by the burning fuel. If a build-up of cre­osote occurs on the glass it may be due to draft con­ditions, poor quality fuel or very low burning for a
long time. It is best to clean the glass when it is
thoroughly cooled.
