PLEASE TAKE CARE...
ASBESTOS: This stove doesn't contain asbestos or cadmium but be careful to
avoid disturbing dangerous materials when removing an old installation.
FIRE CEMENT is caustic - wash your hands thoroughly after using it.
WEIGHT: Tiger is heavy. Protect your spine by moving the stove only with
assistance - do take care to make sure that the floor has adequate load-bearing
capacity and consider fitting a load distributing plate if necessary
FUME EMISSION: Properly installed and operated this stove will not emit fumes
into the dwelling. Occasional slight fumes from de-ashing and refuelling might
occur, but persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must never be
tolerated. If fume emission persists, then immediately
(a) open doors and windows to ventilate the room. (b) let the fire go out or eject
and safely dispose of fuel. (c) check the flue for blockage and clean if required.
(d) do not attempt to re-light the fire until the case of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice
THE CHIMNEY
YOUR CHIMNEY. This stove must be connected to a single, dedicated chimney,
which, by becoming hot inside creates the draught which makes your Tiger work it must:
Generate a draught in use of at least 12Pa (0.05ins wg)
Be capable of withstanding the temperatures generated.
Be fully sealed and incapable of leaking fumes into the dwelling
This will commonly be achieved by it:
Being at least 5m high.
Terminating at least 1m above any roof ridge.
Having an internal cross-section not less than 0.018m² (eg 150mm dia) and
never more than 0.14m² (eg 375 x 375mm)
Being free from even the slightest crack or source of leakage.
Having no bends sharper than 45º.
Being entirely free of obstructions and swept by a qualified chimney sweep.
Being connected only to this one stove.
Being of thick (100mm+) masonry or otherwise adequately insulated.
Conforming to local building regulations.
Special rules apply where the flue passes through timber, thatch or other
vulnerable materials- take specialist advice.
These stoves may be used in smoke control areas when operated strictly in accordance with these instructions and with Soliftec
Smoke Advice Sheet No1 (www.soliftec.com/smokeadvice.htm ), when burning:

ASSEMBLY
LEGS: Attach the legs. If the hearth is uneven, fit one or more
washers between any leg and the Tiger body to lengthen it. Fix the
Tiger down to the hearth through the legs using the screws
provided. You can get optional: Long legs (add 120mm height) or
'Americana' warming shelves (total stove width; 765mm)
FITTING
HEARTH: The Tiger must be fitted onto a non-combustible hearth
providing protection for at least 150mm to each side and 250mm in
front. The Tiger has a thermal barrier plate underneath and will not
raise hearth temperature above 100°C so a light duty hearth may be
used, conforming to your local building regulations. There must be
no unprotected combustible material, including fuel, within 55cm.
Where these distances can't be met, protective materials are
available.
FLUE CONNECTION: The Tiger can be connected to the chimney
(using approved flue pipe components) in several ways, two of
which are shown here. Whichever method is used it is imperative
that: (1) The route for gases from the Tiger to the chimney terminal
is completely air-tight; seal all joins with fireproof cement and/or
heatproof rope. (2) It is possible to sweep the entire length- access
doors may be required. (3) The entire construction is of durable
fireproof materials- composite board is not a suitable material for
closure plates, which should be of steel or concrete. The Stove
should be secured to the hearth by screwing through the fixing holes
drilled in the legs.
Top outlet through fully-sealed
steel closure plate (fitted with
cleaning door) into old,
oversized, chimney with steel
sealing collar.
Top outlet with 45 degree bend
sealed into masonry chimney
with cleaning door on opposite
side. Shown with direct air
supply kit
AIR SUPPLY: Your Tiger needs air to breathe - it must have
permanent fresh air from outside the building available through a
vent equal to 550mm² for each kW of nominal output. This
ventilation can sometimes be provided by air leaking through small
gaps and cracks in the building (it is commonly accepted that this
alone can often suffice for stoves below about 5kW) but in any case
of doubt, fit a purpose-made
air vent. Consider the
possibility that an extractor fan,
or another fuel-using
appliance, elsewhere in the
building can pull air out.
The optional 'Air Supply Kit'
connects your Tiger direct to
the outside through a sealed
flexible tube and a unique
'labyrinth gasket' which
delivers the correct amount of
air for perfect combustion,
along with a trickle of clean,
fresh, warmed air to the room
and the ability to remove stale
air, without draughts.
CO DETECTOR: Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous gas,
produced by this stove. Fit a CO alarm near the stove.
LIVING WITH A TIGER
STOVES GET VERY HOT! Use
the glove or the handle provided
to move hot parts and controls.
OPENING THE DOOR This
stove is designed to be operated
only with the door closed. Open
the door slowly when refuelling or
de-ashing to minimise fume
emission.
LIGHTING Empty the ashes.
Place two or three firelighters
close together, or screwed-up
paper covered with dry sticks, at
the back of the grate and light
them. When they are burning
well gently fill the fire very full
with dry fuel, close the door and
set the air control slide to the 'high' position.
FILLING: Don't fill the Tiger above the level shown here.
CONTROL How fast the fire burns depends on how much air
reaches the fuel. The Tiger has two air controls, one below the
window ('primary'(1)) and one above ('airwash' (2)) Move the slides
to the left for highest output, to the right for 'low'.
Our tests indicate best performance on wood with the primary
control all but closed and the air wash 1/3 open. Anthracite works
best with the airwash closed and the primary 1/3 open. But the best
settings will depend on your fuel, air supply and flue draught and
can only be found from experience.
EMPTYING ASHES Stir the fire with a poker. Use the tool to lift out
the ashpan. Remember to let ash cool before disposing in plastic
sacks or dustbins. There is no need to empty every last speck, but
ash should never be allowed to build up so that it comes into contact
with the underside of the grate.
EXTENDED BURNING Allow the fire to burn down to a low, hot
firebed. Set the air control to 'low', empty the ash and fully fill with
hard fuel such as anthracite (smaller sizes are best).
CLEANING Wipe the stove body with a slightly damp cloth when it
is cool, don't use abrasives, metal polish or 'cream' cleansers as
they can scratch the surface. Polished parts can be brightened
using wire wool. Operating the Tiger for a few minutes at high output
will usually burn-off any window deposits left by tarry or wet fuels.
After a period of use tiny hairline cracks may appear on the window,
this is not a fault but is a characteristic of the toughest and most
heat-resistant material currently available.
FUELS
This stove is designed to principally burn dry wood logs. It can also
burn a wide range of other low-smoke fuels
SMOKE CONTROL: In certain areas special rules apply to reduce
smoke nuisance. Check with your local authority.
WOOD only emits as much carbon to the atmosphere as the tree
took in when growing, so wood is considered the 'carbon neutral'
fuel. When wood is cut down its cells are full of water. Burning such
wet or 'green' wood wastes heat in making steam and produces

warm air to both stove and room

flammable, acidic tars which will cling to, and rapidly damage, your
stove and chimney. Split logs will typically take two years to become
reasonably dry, round logs much longer. Cracks in the ends, a
hollow sound when tapped and bark falling away are all signs that a
log may be ready for use. The fine, white residue produced when
wood burns is not ash, but the remains of cell walls which can burn if
kept hot enough, so don't de-ash a fire until absolutely necessary
when using wood.
For best performance, and always for low smoke emission:
● Split logs lengthways for drying
● Use logs no bigger than about 100mm x 250mm
● Ensure logs are absolutely dry (less than 20% moisture)
● Fill the Tiger criss-cross, so air can circulate between logs.
● Fill 'little and often'
● When first lighting, or reviving a fire from embers, use only
very small, thin, dry, sticks.
● When refuelling, add a log and allow the flames to 'catch' and
begin flaming before fully closing the door, then...
● Keep the door firmly closed in normal operation.
● Don't overfill the firebox – see the diagram.
JOINERY WASTE Dry wood offcuts will burn well, but don't expect
softwood waste to burn as cleanly or for as long as hardwood logs.
ANTHRACITE (Smokeless) is a natural hard, shiny form of coal.
Slow to light, it can burn for very long periods with great heat.
Despite its high price-per-bag it generally works out to be one of the
cheapest of all fuels. Use the 'small nuts' size.
PEAT: Like all fuels, needs to be very, very dry.
BRIQUETTES Are compressed blocks of fuel. Types made from
plant materials such as straw or wood waste are very variable..
Mineral types, often in an 'egg' shape, are generally able to burn
with very little smoke for long periods, but beware of 'economy'
versions which may contain harmful sulphur.
DO NOT USE... dusty materials like sawdust, they burn far to
violently. Don't use non-authorised 'smokeless fuels' or 'petcoke' these are often made with dangerous high-suphur oil waste and will
rapidly damage your Tiger. Don't use raw bituminous coal,
sometimes sold as 'Polish Coal'. These products, though cheap,
rarely represent value for money.
HOUSEHOLD WASTES Some plastics give off toxic fumes when
burned and remember that batteries and aerosols explode! The
Tiger is definitely not an incinerator, so only ever use the
recommended fuels and NEVER use liquid fuels in any form.
PROBLEMS
Problems like those listed here are usually due to some difficulty
with the installation, chimney or fuels, so please check back through
this leaflet carefully. If necessary seek specialist advice.
SMOKE FROM THE CHIMNEY It is quite normal for a little smoke to
be emitted from the chimney when the fire is cold, so, start the fire
using only a very little fuel. Use only VERY dry fuels.
DAMAGED LINERS Your Tiger gets very, very hot inside, it is quite
usual for the replaceable liners to crack or craze. They need only be
replaced when they have almost completely disintegrated. Help
them last longer by using only very dry fuel.
POOR HEAT OUTPUT: A stove can heat a typical room of about
12m³ volume for each kW of output, so a 5kW model can heat up to
(12 x 5) 63m³, a room of about 5m square. The actual size depends
on the insulation, dampness and ventilation of the room. To attempt
to heat a larger room will result in excessive fuel consumption and
damaging overheating.
LACK OF CONTROLLABILITY This stove is designed to always
burn enough to eliminate smoke - adjust the heat output by how
much fuel you put on, as well as by using the controls.
DIFFICULTY BURNING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS This stove is
not designed for non-stop burning but for quick heat-up and on-off
use. Longer burning can be achieved only using very hard fuels
such as anthracite.
CONDENSATION onto cool surfaces inside the stove can be severe
if fuel is in any way damp. Use only very dry fuel.
OVER-FIRING: It is possible to leave the fire too long with the
controls set too high leading to 'over firing', seen as glowing metal
parts, excessive chimney temperature and risk of parts failing or
chimney fires. Always set controls to the lowest practical setting.
SMOKE COMING INTO ROOM Fumes are poisonous- smoke
emission must NEVER be tolerated, causes might be:
NEW STOVE: There is often a smell and sometimes visible fumes
as the paint cures. This normally stops after an hour or so.
INADEQUATE SEALS: Are all flue pipes and connectors absolutely
gas-tight? Even the tiniest crack or gap can spoil the draught.
BLOCKED FLUEWAYS: Has soot and ash collected above the inner
back part of the firebox?
UNSUITABLE, BLOCKED OR UN-SWEPT CHIMNEY: The first
requirement for correct operation is a sound chimney. Check the
requirements earlier in this document and in any case of doubt
engage a professional sweep or chimney engineer.
POOR AIR SUPPLY: Lack of air to the fire is a common cause of
smoking and poor performance. Air supply problems may be worse
in certain wind conditions (often incorrectly ascribed to
'downdraught', which is in fact very rare), where air can be sucked
out of the room. The answer is to fit an air vent, as near to the fire as
possible, facing into the usual wind direction.
DOWNDRAUGHT: Wind can blow down a chimney if there is
something higher nearby such as a tree, hill or high building. Fitting
an anti-downdraught cowl to the chimney top can cure this. Types
which cannot be swept through are not recommended.
POOR CHIMNEY DRAUGHT- Chimney draught in use MUST be at
least 12Pa.
CHIMNEY FIRE: In the rare event of deposits inside the chimney
igniting (roaring sound + dense smoke and sparks from the
chimney) immediately close the door, shut all air controls and call
the fire brigade. Prevent fires by using very dry fuel and having your
chimney swept regularly.
MAINTENANCE
MONTHLY- CLEAN THE INNER
BAFFLE and CHECK THE DOOR
SEALS The inner baffle is a metal
plate inside the roof of the Tiger (see
diagram) With the stove cold, lift off
the inspection hatch to remove,
clean and inspect the baffle and
carefully check for blockages.
Check that the door seals are
undamaged, (replacing them if
necessary) and that they fully seal
against the stove body.
ANNUALLY- SWEEP THE
CHIMNEY The entire length of the
chimney from stove to outlet should
be swept annually by a qualified
chimney sweep.
REFURBISHMENT Should the stove
body become scratched or dull, repaint it only with heat resistant
paint supplied for the purpose and only when the fire is completely
cold.

Republic of Ireland: Control of Atmospheric Pollution Regulations, 1970
This stove may be used in smoke control areas when burning wood logs and smokeless fuels but not petroleum coke
United Kingdom: 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" stove ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt stoves for use in smoke control areas in
England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland)
Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and
that stoves used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in
the devolved administrations. This stove has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs. Further information on the
requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found at http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/ 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
