HEATING SYSTEM CONTROLS
CONTROLS, GENERAL
1.18 The controls fitted to the system will provide two
functions:
—To control the comfort level in the house.
—To maintain safety in the event of misuse or
mechanical failure.
COMFORT CONTROLS
1.19 A programmable timer switches the pump on when heat
is required and off when it is not.
The timer, when combined with a room thermostat and
/ or thermostatic radiator valves, enhances the comfort
levels in the house.
Some room thermostats combine the function with
the timer and can be programmed to reduce the room
temperature rather than turning the system off. This is
effective in not allowing rooms to become too cold and
speeding up recovery time.
1.20 The hot water cylinder can also be fitted with a
thermostatic valve which turns off the flow when the
cylinder has reached the desired temperature, but the
heat leak radiator will have to be bigger to cope with the
extra load when the tank is isolated.

SAFETY CONTROLS
1.21 A high limit thermostat is fitted to the gravity flow pipe
set at 80˚C. This thermostat should be connected to the
pump so that the pump is turned on if the temperature
exceeds 80˚C. This will prevent accidental boiling in the
gravity circuit.
1.22 It is also recommended to fit a low limit thermostat on
the central heating return set at 45˚C. This thermostat will
turn the pump off if the return temperature falls below
45C. This will prevent corrosion and condensation within
the stove.
NOTE – Further information on solid fuel central heating
systems can be found in the HETAS engineers training
manual.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Properly installed, operated and maintained this
appliance will not emit fumes into the room.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and refuelling may occur.
Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated.
If fume emission does persist:
—Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
—Allow fire to burn out and safely dispose of fuel from the
appliance.
—Check for chimney blockage and clean if required.
—Do not attempt to relight until the cause of the emission
has been identified and corrected. If necessary seek
expert advice.
All open flued appliances can be affected by temporary
atmospheric conditions which may allow fumes to enter
the house. Because of this it is recommended that an
electronic carbon monoxide detector conforming to
BSEN50291 be fitted and maintained.
2.6 Precautions must be taken to ensure that this build up of
condensate does not overflow from the appliance onto
any surrounding fabric of the room e.g. carpets.
NOTE - THIS CONDENSATION IS NORMAL DURING
FILLING AND DOES NOT INDICATE A FAULTY OR
LEAKING STOVE.
NORMAL RUNNING
2.7 During normal running this condensation should be
minimal if the system is fitted with the low limit thermostat
as detailed in 1.22 (above). This low limit thermostat
prevents the system pump from running until the stove has
reached temperature.
SEASONAL USE
2.8 If this appliance is unused for lengthy periods of
time it should be periodically checked to ensure that
condensation is not building up within the stove.
NOTE – THIS CONDENSATION IS NORMAL AND DOES
NOT INDICATE A FAULTY OR LEAKING STOVE.
If the stove is going to be unused for very long periods of
time it is recommended to drain the system.

CONDENSATION
CAUTION WHEN FILLING
2.4 When filling the boiler with water for the first time,
the cold water entering the water jacket can cause
condensation to form on the surfaces of the appliance
(inside and outside).
2.5 In certain conditions this condensation could result in a
considerable amount of water, in some cases enough to fill
the bottom of the appliance. This could be even worse if
the house has recently been re-decorated, wet plastered
or any other work has been undertaken which could result
in high humidity.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
5. RUNNING THE APPLIANCE
BURNING WOOD:
5.1This appliance gives out its heat in two ways:
—Directly into the room in which it is fitted through
convection and radiation.
—Hot water to heat radiators and domestic hot water.
The output to hot water varies depending on how
quickly the fuel is being burnt. Fore more detail see the
graph on page 13.
5.2 Only for use with recommended fuels, see Section 3 for
full details.
—Close the Primary Air control and use the Airwash to
control the burn rate when the appliance is at optimum
operating temperature (see Diagrams 7 & 8).
7
—Rake the embers evenly over the firebed and open the
Airwash control fully for a few minutes before
re-fuelling.
Do not refuel when a large amount of flames are
present in the firebox as this could cause smoke or
flames to spill into the room.
Close the doors immediately after refuelling.
5.3 Burn new logs at a high temperature for a few minutes
before adjusting the Airwash control. Refuel little and
often for clean, efficient burning.
Do not load above the log guard or base of baffle.
5.4 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash
control closed for long periods of time. This reduces the
glass cleaning effect of the Airwash and causes tars and
creosotes to build-up in the appliance and flue system.
5.5 When in use, running the appliance at a high temperature
for a short period reduces tars and creosotes.
5.6 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preference.
Do not burn construction timber, painted,
impregnated / treated wood, manufactured board
products or pallet wood.
5.6 BURNING SOLID FUEL
To burn smokeless fuels a cast iron multi-fuel grate must
be fitted.
Only for use with recommended fuels (see User
Instructions, Section 3).

present in the firebox as this could cause smoke or
flames to spill into the room.
—Close the doors immediately after refuelling.
—Burn new fuel at a high temperature for a few minutes
before adjusting the Primary air control to the desired
setting.
—Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.
5.16 Do not re-fuel the stove above the level of the log guard
or the base of the baffle.
THERMOSTAT OPERATION
6. BURNING TIPS
6.1 Fuel Quality (Wood)Use wood with a moisture content of less than 20%.
Seasoned logs have the bark beginning to lift and peel away
and cracks radiating from the centre. They feel lighter than
fresh cut wood of a similar size and sound hollow when
struck against each other. Logs should not feel damp or
have moss and fungal growths.
Symptoms related to wet wood:
—Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning well.
—Smoke and small flames.
—Dirty glass.
—Rapid creosote build-up in the chimney.
—Low heat output.
—Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption and
blue/grey smoke from the chimney.
Burn at a high temperature for a short period each day
to avoid large build-ups of tars and creosote within the
appliance and the flue system.
Use Stovax Protector chimney cleaner to reduce this
problem.
6.2 Fuel Quality (Solid Fuel)Use recommended solid fuels approved for use with closed
appliances.
Symptoms related to unsuitable fuels include:
—Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning well.
—Smoke and small flames.
—Dirty glass and/or fire bricks.
—Short life span for Grate and Baffle.
—Permanent staining of glass.
6.3 Air inlets puffing smokeCombustion gases can build up in the firebox and ignite
as small explosions, causing smoke to puff out of the air
inlets and other openings. This occurs if the air controls
are shut soon after adding new fuel to a very hot fire. Stop
by opening the air controls to increase combustion air and
burning rate.
6.4 Flue DraughtThe chimney has two main functions:
1) To safely remove the smoke, gases and fumes from the
house.
2) To provide a sufficient amount of draught (suction) in the
appliance ensuring the fire keeps burning.
5.17 This appliance can be fitted with a thermostat kit to
control the temperature of the boiler. See the instructions
included in the kit for operation details.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
Draught is caused by the rising hot air in the chimney when
the appliance is lit.
Symptoms of poor performance related to flue draught
include:
—Excessive fuel consumption (high flue draught).
—Poor burning control, overheating (high flue draught).
—Wind noise from air controls (high flue draught).
—Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well
(low flue draught).
—Low heat output (low flue draught).
—Smoke entering room when doors opened (low flue
draught).
The construction, position, size and height of the chimney
all affect the performance of the flue draught.
Other factors effecting the flue draught include:
—Trees or other buildings nearby causing turbulence.
—Outside temperature.
—Outside weather conditions.
—Incorrect additional ventilation to building.
—Blocked flue / chimney.
For advice on the correction of persistent flue problems

USER INSTRUCTIONS
11. CHIMNEY FIRE
11.1 If a chimney fire occurs:
—Shut all air controls immediately.
—Evacuate the building.
—Call the fire brigade.
—Do not re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe.
11.2 Do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until:
a) It has been inspected by a registered installer*,
confirming the appliance is safe to use.
b) The chimney system has been inspected and swept by a
chimney sweep, confirming the system is structurally sound
and free from obstruction**.
c) It is repaired as required before re-use. Use only
genuine Yeoman replacement parts to keep your appliance
in safe, efficient working order.
12. GENERAL CLEANING
12.1 Clean and inspect the appliance regularly, especially in
periods of heavy use. Regular cleaning and maintenance
will help give many years of safe use.
Allow appliance to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.
Clean regularly, according to level of use.
Remove the ash completely (see User Instructions,
Section 7).
Check the internal components for damage. Do not use
the appliance if any parts are broken or damaged. Replace
damaged parts with genuine Yeoman replacement parts to
keep the appliance in safe, efficient working order.
Check for obvious build up of soot, ash or debris above the
flue baffle(s) (these can be found in the upper part of the
firebox). Use a torch if necessary.
If there are any signs of a build up of debris above the flue
baffle(s) either:
Check that the door shuts properly and creates an effective
seal. Leaking door seals prevent the appliance working
properly.
Do not use aerosol sprays near an operating appliance.
13. CLEANING GLASS
Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system
and good quality fuel.
13.1 Sometimes additional cleaning may be required.
This can be done as follows:
—Allow appliance to cool fully. Do not clean hot glass.
—Use a soft cloth and Stovax Glass Cleaner.
13.2 Before re-lighting the appliance dry the glass fully.
13.3 Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.
14. CHIMNEY SWEEPING
14.1 To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance, the
chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a
year by a qualified chimney sweep**.
If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year,
or it is used to burn wood or smokeless fuel, more frequent
sweeping is recommended.
The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of
the heating season.
The above applies even if burning smokeless fuels.
14.2 The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance
flue ways, if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.
14.3 Ensure adequate access for cleaning where it is not possible
to sweep through the chimney.
14.4 If the chimney is believed to have previously served an
open fire it must be swept a second time within a month of
regular use after installation.
—Arrange for the chimney to be swept (see User
Instructions, Section 14).
—Remove the baffle and clear the debris (see Installation
Instructions, Section 3).
To refresh painted finishes use Stovax Riva Midnight black
metallic paint.
Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth be fore relighting. Always
dry appliance to avoid rust.
Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
15. CARE OF STOVE
Stovax has a range of cleaning and maintenance products
and accessories to keep your appliance in good working
order. Your Yeoman retailer can advise you on suitable
items for your stove and provide genuine spare parts
such as replacement glass and door sealing rope. View
the extensive range at www.stovax.com by clicking on
Accessories. In addition, an annual service by a competent
engineer is recommended to keep your stove in the best
possible condition.
16. SEASONAL USE
16.1 Clean and service the appliance if it is not used during the
warmer periods of the year, as detailed in the Maintenance and Servicing section.
16.2 Set the air controls to 50% to keep the appliance ventilated
and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.
16.3 Before re-lighting the appliance:
—Remove the baffle.
—Clear any debris that may have accumulated.
—Check the flue is clear of any blockages.
130°C - 250°C (270°F - 480°F). Failing to close down the
Primary Air Control once the appliance has heated up to
this range may cause the appliance to exceed the ideal
temperature range and to over-fire. Over-firing can cause
permanent damage to the appliance and invalidates your
warranty. Burn with the Airwash Control fully open for
approximately 20 minutes to cure this.
The problem may be caused by damping down the
appliance during periods of extended burning.
4. Problems with the flue, in particular insufficient air pull.
If the flue is not working efficiently the glass can blacken.
A flue which has too much downdraft may be too short,
needs lining, or has too many bends. This can also cause
blackening of the stove glass. Contact the installer or a flue
specialist for advice.
17.2 Riddling Mechanism Jamming
This occurs when ash builds up under the riddling grate
preventing movement. To rectify:
—Lift out the riddling mechanism (see Installation
Instructions, Section 5) and remove all ash.
—Replace riddling mechanism when cleaning is complete.
—De-ash and clean the inside of the appliance regularly
to avoid build up of ash and subsequent jamming of
mechanism.
17.3 Glass cracking
Do not over tighten the screws on the glass clips when
replacing the glass. This causes stress and the intense
temperature changes can cause the glass to crack. For
replacement glass contact your local Yeoman retailer.
17.4 Appliance is producing tar
This can be identified by:
—A very strong pungent smell shortly after the appliance is
lit and heats up.
17. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
17.1 Stove glass blackeningThis has four possible causes:
1. Incorrect use of AirwashSee UserInstructions, Sections 1, 4 and 5 for the correct use
of the air controls.
2. Burning unseasoned woodSee User Instructions, Section 3 to identify when wood is
ready for burning.
3. Stove operated at too low a temperatureA stove pipe thermometer can identify this problem (Stovax
part no 3046). The ideal working temperature range is
—Glass blackening.
—Thick, brown, sticky tar oozing from the pipe joints.
This is caused by burning damp wood and running the
appliance at too low a temperature.
Use well seasoned wood and operate the appliance within
the ideal temperature range.
Tar is a major cause of chimney fires. If the appliance
experiences problems with tar build up consult a chimney
sweep before continued use of the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM
1. General
This appliance gives out heat in two ways:
—Directly into the room in which it is fitted through
convection and radiation.
—Hot water to heat radiators and domestic hot water.
The installation must comply with building regulations and
use best practice advice.
2. Boiler Sizing
2.1 It is very important to determine the correct size of
appliance for the house:
—Too big a boiler will run too hot and will not be efficient.
—Too small a boiler will not maintain the desired
temperature.
2.2 Size the boiler correctly by calculating the following heat
loads:
RADIATORS - the amount of heat required to run the
radiators efficiently. The correct size of radiator depends
on the required temperature for the room, the room heat
losses and the radiator manufacturer’s guides.
3. Hot Water Cylinder
3.1 The domestic hot water cylinder must be an indirect vented
double feed type to meet national standards** and should
have a minimum capacity of 117 litres. Houses with more
than one bathroom or a separate shower will need a bigger
tank.
Fully insulate the tank.
The water draw off pipes to the taps should be in a dead
leg connection from the vent pipe.
4. Open Vent And Cold Feed System
4.1 This system must be fitted with a minimum of 22mm
diameter open vent discharging into a heat resisting feed
and expansion tank. There must be at least 25mm air gap
between the end of the pipe and the water level. The
cistern tank should have an overflow with a minimum
diameter of 22mm
The cold feed must be a minimum 22mm and enter the
system as the last connection on the common boiler return.
The open vent and cold feed must not be fitted with any
valves, manual or automatic.
Do not use plastic pipe in any part of the flow and
return.
5. Heat Leak Radiator
HOT WATER - the amount of heat required to provide the
desired amount of domestic hot water.
LOSSES – the amount of heat lost in pipe work - typically
10% of the combined radiators and hot water loads.
There are national guidelines for calculating these figures*.
2.3 Careful consideration must be given to where the appliance
is fitted. It must be sized correctly for the heat load required
and the size of the room. These requirements can be found
in the Technical Specifications.
2.4 All Stovax appliances are thermostatically controlled. The
burning rate is adjusted to the demands of the connected
heat load. If the radiators do not require heat then the
thermostat will act to shut down the appliance and the
direct heat output to the room where it is fitted will reduce
(see heat output graph on page 15 to show the ratio
between direct heat output and water heat output). To
prevent the room becoming too cold, fit a thermostatically
controlled radiator as well as the appliance.
5.1 A heat leak radiator must be fitted in the gravity circuit to
dissipate any excess heat produced from the boiler when
connected demand is low. The domestic hot water cylinder
may not be able to disperse heat at all times due to modern
insulation. This radiator is commonly fitted in the bathroom
and should be rated at 2kW (6500 btu) or 10% of the total
boiler output.
This radiator ensures that the appliance is not shut down
completely for long periods resulting in the fire going out.
Fit the heat leak radiator in the gravity circuit using 22mm
pipe reducing to 15mm for no more than 300mm before
the radiator.
Fit the radiator with two ‘lock-shield’ valves that are set
in the fully open position and cannot be shut down. Use
diagonal connections. Do not fit thermostatic valves or
manually adjustable valves to the heat leak radiator.
27
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6. Pump
6.1 Where a pump is fitted into the circuit it should be
adjustable so that the flow can match the system
requirements. Fit isolation valves to enable removal for
servicing. The pump must have at least 1.5 meters of static
head.
7. Electrical Supply
7.1 Electrical connections must meet the requirements of
national Building Regulations* and standards**, along with
any European, local regulations and working practices that
may apply. Should conflict occur between these instructions
and these regulations then the regulations must be followed.
The connection to the mains supply should allow
complete electrical isolation and only serve the heating
circuit pump.
All water connections should be completed by a competent
person to meet the requirements of local water authority
by-laws.
CONVENTIONAL PIPE WORK SYSTEMS
All pipe work must be able to operate at above 100
degrees Celsius. Any pipe work installed in an exposed
position e.g. loft space must have provision to prevent
freezing.
Ensure the pipe work system has sufficient drain
points to enable the complete removal of water for the
purposes of servicing.
9. Pump Assisted Central Heating
9.1 The most common arrangement is to have a pumped
central heating circuit combined with a gravity hot water
circuit. This arrangement requires careful balancing of the
two in order to avoid the gravity circuit being starved when
the pump is running.
To overcome this problem it is common practice to fit
an injector tee where the pumped central heating return
re-joins the gravity return from the hot water cylinder. This
injector tee induces a much stronger gravity flow when the
pump runs.
Only use proprietary injector tees, homemade ones are
difficult to get right.
9.2 When installing a system that has pumped central heating
and gravity hot water it is recommended to use all 4
boiler tappings. Each flow and return should be diagonally
opposite each other.
10. Fully Pumped System
10.1 In many installations (especially new build) a fully pumped
system is the best choice to give increased control.
WARNING - To prevent the risk of boiling it is essential
to arrange the pipe work and position the hot water
cylinder and heat leak radiator so that gravity circulation
can take place when the pump is not running. Any
motorised valves fitted in this circuit must return to the
fully open position when the power is interrupted.
11. Sealed (Pressurised) System
8. Gravity Pipe Circuit
8.1 To prevent the risk of boiling it is essential to arrange the
pipe work and position the hot water cylinder and heat
leak radiator so that gravity circulation can take place when
the pump is not running. Position the cylinder and the
radiator vertically above the boiler with sufficient height to
encourage gravity flow.
8.2 Horizontal pipe work in a gravity system must have an
incline of at least 5mm in every 1000mm and a minimum
diameter of 28mm. Vertical pipe must have a minimum
diameter of 22mm.
8.3 Any motorised valves fitted in this circuit must return to the
fully open position when the power is interrupted.
11.1 Do not fit this appliance to sealed or pressurised systems or
an unvented hot water cylinder.
12. Pipe work Diagrams

HEATING SYSTEM CONTROLS
CONTROLS GENERAL
1.1 The controls fitted to the system will provide two functions:
— To control the comfort level in the house.
— To maintain safety in the event of misuse or mechanical
failure.
COMFORT CONTROLS
1.2 This primarily consists of a time clock wired into the pump.
The pump is switched on when heat is required and when
it is not, the pump is switched off.
The time clock, when combined with a room thermostat
and or thermostatic radiator valves, enhances the comfort
levels in the house.
NOTE - THIS CONDENSATION IS NORMAL DURING
FILLING AND DOES NOT INDICATE A FAULTY OR
LEAKING STOVE.
NORMAL RUNNING
1.9 During normal running this condensation should be minimal
if the system is fitted with the low limit thermostat as
detailed in 1.22 (above). This low limit thermostat prevents
the system pump from running until the stove has reached
temperature.
SEASONAL USE
1.10 If this appliance is unused for lengthy periods of time it
should be periodically checked to ensure that condensation
is not building up within the stove.
NOTE – THIS CONDENSATION IS NORMAL AND DOES
NOT INDICATE A FAULTY OR LEAKING STOVE.
Some room thermostats combine the function with the
time clock and can be programmed to reduce the room
temperature rather than turning the system off. This is
effective in not allowing the rooms to become too cold and
speeding up recovery time.
1.3 The hot water cylinder can also be fitted with a thermostatic
valve which turns off the flow when the cylinder has
reached the desired temperature but the heat leak radiator
will have to be bigger to cope with the extra load when the
tank is isolated.
SAFETY CONTROLS
1.4 This primarily consists of a high limit thermostat fitted to
the gravity flow pipe set at 80˚C, this thermostat should be
connected to the pump so that the pump is turned on if
the temperature exceeds 80˚C. This will prevent accidental
boiling in the gravity circuit.
1.5 It is also recommended to fit a low limit thermostat on the
central heating return set at 45˚C, this thermostat will turn
the pump off if the return temperature falls below 45˚C.
This will prevent corrosion and condensation within the
stove.
CONDENSATION
If the stove is going to be unused for very long periods of
time it is recommended to drain the system.
NOTE – Further information on solid fuel central heating
systems can be found in the HETAS engineers training
manual.
LINK UP SYSTEMS
For information on how to link solid fuel boilers to other
heating appliances see Information For Dual System Link
Up Methods (PM286). This can be obtained through Stovax.
Call (01392) 474011, email info@stovax.com or visit
www.stovax.com for details.
Always seek the advice of a competent person* before
linking another heating system to a solid fuel boiler.
1.6 When filling the boiler with water for the first time, the cold
water entering the water jacket can cause condensation to
form on the surfaces of the appliance (inside and outside).
1.7 In certain conditions this condensation could result in a
considerable amount of water, in some cases enough to fill
the bottom of the appliance. This could be even worse if
the house has recently been re-decorated, wet plastered or
any other work has been undertaken which could result in
high humidity.
1.8 Precautions must be taken to ensure that this build up of
condensate does not overflow from the appliance onto any

COMMISSIONING
COMMISSIONING
1.1 To commission:
— Replace the log retainer.
— Check the door alignment and catch operation, adjust if
required (see Maintenance & Servicing, Section 7,
Adjusting Door Hinges).
— Check the soundness of door seals, castings and joints.
— Check the operation of the air controls.
— Ensure the system has been filled with water and
includes a suitable inhibitor.
1.2 Now carry out a final smoke draw test:
— First warming the flue with a blowlamp, or similar, for
about 10 minutes.
— Place a smoke pellet on the centre of the grate, with the
air controls open.
— Close the door. Smoke should now be drawn up the flue
and be seen to exit from the flue terminal.
— Complete test with all doors and windows closed in the
room where the appliance is fitted.
— If there are any extractor fans in adjacent rooms, the test
must be repeated with the fans running on maximum
and interconnecting doors open.
— Check the effect of ceiling fans during the test.
If the test fails, re-check the suitability of the flue system
and ventilation. An inadequate air supply to the room is
potentially dangerous.
— Light the appliance and slowly increase the temperature
to operating levels.
— Ensure no combustion products enter the room.
— Open the main fire door when the appliance reaches
operating condition and carry out a spillage test with a
smoke match or pellet around the door opening.
— Run the system up to temperature.
BALANCING THE SYSTEM
It is essential to balance the central heating system in order
to achieve an even heating performance across all of the
radiators in the house. Balanced means each radiator having
a 10˚C difference in temperature between the flow and the
return, ideally 80˚C flow and 70˚C return.
Have the system running and adjust the appliance
thermostat so that the flow temperature measured near
the appliance is approximately 80˚C. Ensure that all valves
including lock-shield valves are in the fully open position
and the pump is at its estimated correct speed. If there are
thermostatic radiator valves, have these on maximum setting
and ensure that they do not activate.
Ensure that the radiators have been bled of air.
Write down the return temperature of each radiator in turn
and its difference to the flow temperature at the appliance.
Make sure that the flow temperature remains constant.
The radiator with the greatest difference (the index radiator)
and any other radiator within 1 degree should be left with
the lock-shield fully open. The remainder of the lock-shield
valves should be closed to about 1/3 open. Leave the
system to stabilise, this could take some time.
When the system has stabilised, write down the new
difference between the flow and return temperatures and
any which differ from the index radiator by more than 1
degree will need further adjustment, some valves will have
been closed too much and others not enough, usually the
adjustments need to be only a fraction of a turn at a time.
Leave sufficient time for the system to stabilise after each
adjustment.
When the radiator temperatures are starting to become
consistent, but before final adjustments, the index radiator
needs to be considered, if the return temperature of this
radiator is not near 70 degrees then the pump will need
to be adjusted to either provide more (to increase the
temperature) or less flow to decrease the temperature.
Again, sufficient time will need to be left to allow the system
to stabilise after adjusting the pump speed.
When the radiator flow and return temperatures are correct
the final adjustments can be made and the lock-shield
covers replaced.
Knowing how far to shut down a valve to get the desired
change in flow and return temperature, and knowing how
long to wait for the system to stabilise, takes a little time and
practice.
1.3 If excessive spillage occurs:
— Allow the appliance to cool and re-check the flue system
and ventilation.
1.4 Finally:
—Explain the safe operation of the appliance and the
use of the controls to the user and the importance of
only using suitable fuels.
All open flued appliances can be affected
by temporary atmospheric conditions which
may allow fumes to enter the house. Because
of this it is recommended that an electronic carbon
monoxide detector conforming to BSEN50291
be fitted and maintained.
— Explain the cleaning and routine maintenance
requirements.
— Explain the requirement to use a suitable fireguard
when children, elderly or infirm persons are near the
appliance.
—Record dealer/supplier and installer details in
Appliance Commissioning Checklist (page 3,
Instructions for Use).
—Record serial number in Appliance Commissioning
Checklist (page 3, Instructions for Use). This number
is required when ordering spare parts and
making warranty claims.
— Give the copy of the Instructions to the customer.
