LITTLE WENLOCK CLASSIC SOLID FUEL NON-BOILER STOVE
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
NOTE: 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.
The installation must be completed in
accordance with current National and European
Standards and Local Codes. It should be noted
that the requirements and these publications
may be superseded during the life of this
manual.
GENERAL
When installing, operating and maintaining your
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 or property. Consult your local Municipal
office and your insurance representative to determine what regulations are in force. Save these
instructions for future reference.
PRE-INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY
1. After removing the stove from the packaging,
open the fire door and remove all contents from
inside.
2. Fit the fire door handle using the screw provided.
3. Remove the stove from the pallet and position it
in the final installation position (See Location
& Clearance to Combustibles Section).
Special care must be taken when installing the stove
such that the requirements of the Health & Safety at
Work Act are met.
FLUES
Handling
Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45o with the vertical. Horizontal
flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a
back outlet from the appliance, when the length of
the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm.
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.
In order to minimise flue resistance and to make
sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45o
bends rather than a 90o bend.
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.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please seek guidance and use
appropriate protective equipment.
To minimise the wind effects, the flue termination
point should be located a minimum of 600mm 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.1.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should
be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.

2300
suitable stainless steel flue liner. Where a masonry
chimney is not available a proprietary type 150mm
twin wall, fully insulated pipe may be used.
600
Fig.1
The pipe must terminate at a point not lower than the
main ridge of adjacent outside obstructions. With
such installation, access to the chimney must be
provided for cleaning purposes. (See Fig.1)
When flue piping passes through a closure plate
with a sliding door, ensure that the pipe continues
up and is ultimately connected to the flue liner and
well sealed with fire cement.

CHIMNEY
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 diameter of at least 150mm.
Never connect to a smaller size chimney. Do not
connect to a chimney serving another appliance.
Minimum chimney height 4.5 meters from floor on
which stove is installed. The stove is supplied with a
5” flue spigot, the flue installation will require a 5” to
6” increaser which must be fitted with 1 meter of flue
outlet.
TOP FLUE EXIT
For the top outlet configuration, remove the blanking
plate from the hob, remove the flue spigot from the
back plate and fix it to the hob. Fix the outlet blanking plate to back plate (see Fig. 2). Push the flue outlet connector pipe (not supplied) into the flue spigot
and cement into place using approved fire cement,
ensuring that no cement is blocking the flue passageway.
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 12 Pascal’s. 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
than 150mm it is necessary to line the flue using a
REAR FLUE EXIT
Push the flue connector pipe (not supplied) into the
flue spigot and cement into place using approved
fire cement ensuring that no cement is blocking the
flue passageway.

VENTILATION AND COMBUSTION AIR
REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is rated less than 5kW. There is no
additional air requirement unless a flue draught stabiliser is fitted then the air requirement is 15cm2.
When calculating combustion air requirements for
this appliance use the following equation: 550mm2
per each kW of rated output above 5 kW should be
provided, where a flue draught stabiliser is used the
total free area shall be increased by 300mm2 for
each kW of rated output. If there is another appliance using air fitted in the same or adjacent room, it
will be necessary to provide an additional air supply.
Pitched roof not exceeding 45o showing external and
internal flues and ridge termination
DOWN DRAUGHTS
All materials used in the manufacture of air vents
should be such that the vent is dimensionally stable,
corrosion resistant, and no provision for closure.
The effective free area of any vent should be ascertained before installation. The effect of any grills
should be allowed for when determining the effective
free area of any vent.
However well designed constructed and positioned,
the satisfactory performance of the flue can be
adversely affected by down draught caused by nearby hills, adjacent tall buildings or trees. These can
deflect wind to blow directly down the flue or create
a zone of low pressure over the terminal. A suitable
anti-down draught terminal or cowl will usually effectively combat direct down blow but no cowl is likely
to prevent down draught due to a low pressure zone.
(See Fig.4)
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 and B.S. 8303: Part 1 from any
part of any flue terminal. These air vents must also
be satisfactorily fire proofed as per Building
Regulations and B.S. 8303: Part 1.
Fig.4
Direction of wind
Air vents in internal walls should not communicate
with bedrooms, 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.
Pressure zone
Suction zone
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. If there is an
extraction fan fitted in adjacent rooms where this
appliance is fitted, additional air vents may be
required to alleviate the possibility of spillage of
products of combustion from the appliance/flue
while the fan is in operation. Refer to B.S. 8303 Part
1.

LOCATION
If spillage occurs following the above operation, an
additional air vent of sufficient size to prevent this
occurrence should be installed.
There are several conditions to be considered in
selecting a location for your stove.
PERMANENT AIR VENT
A. Position in the area to be heated - central locations are usually best. If situated in an alcove,
site as far forward as possible, to provide more
heat to the room.
B. Allowances for proper clearances to com bustibles.
The stove requires an adequate air supply in order
for it to operate safely and efficiently. The installer
may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion and/or ventilation air. This air vent should
not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
Extractor Fan
It is recommended that this appliance is sited next to
and on a non-combustible surface. A minimum all
round clearance of 100mm will allow air circulation
and not impede the performance of the stove. If it is
necessary to site the stove near to a combustible
surface a minimum clearance of 400mm to side
walls and 550mm to rear walls must be maintained.
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°C.
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.
COMMISSIONING & 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.
On completion of the installation and commissioning
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.
FLOOR PROTECTION
It is recommended that this appliance is installed on
a solid, level, non combustible hearth conforming to
current Building Regulations.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes
be emitted from the stove. The customer should be
warned to use a fire guard to BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

DO NOT BURN MANUFACTURED SMOKELESS
FUELS WITH THIS SUPPLEMENTARY GRATE IN
PLACE AS DAMAGE AND POOR PERFORMANCE WILL RESULT.
LIGHTING
Check that all controls and catches are operating
correctly and ensure that all flue connections are
thoroughly sealed. Open the spin valve fully and pull
the secondary air slide to fully open.
Fig.6
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL SPIN VALVE
When burning manufactured smokeless fuels, the
spin valve located near the bottom of the door, controls the primary air supply to the stove. For maximum heat output and burn rate rotate the spin valve
fully in an anti-clockwise direction. For a minimum
burn rate rotate the spin valve fully in a clockwise
direction until fully closed. For nominal heat output
the spin wheel will need to be open about 2 turns
depending on the draught conditions of the chimney.
You will soon learn the spin valve settings to best
suit your requirements. The tool supplied fits the
spin valve and is designed to operate this part safely. It also fits the secondary air slide knob. These
parts will become very hot when the stove is in use
and should not be adjusted with an unprotected
hand.
Fig.7
SECONDARY AIR CONTROL - SLIDER
When burning wood pull out fully the control knob
situated over the top of the door. This air control is
a push pull operation, pull for fully open and push for
fully closed. The control can be gradually moved
between fully open and fully closed for the desired
setting. Fully open will be the hottest setting, as this
will provide the maximum air to the fire and will help
to clean the glass even after it has become sooty.
This control can be used in conjunction with the spin
valve but generally the fire will perform best if the
slider is used when burning wood and the spin valve
is used when burning manufactured smokeless
fuels. These controls are hot when the appliance is
in use. Use the tool to operate these controls.
Fig.8
If burning wood only place the supplementary wood
grate onto the grate. The holes in it are a guide for
correct positioning. Fitting it onto the lugs will ensure
it stays in place if the riddling mechanism is used.

RE-FUELLING
Fig.9
When refuelling with manufactured smokeless fuel
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 combustion chamber. Add fuel to fire, taking care not to
overfill higher than the front firebars. Close fire door
and re-set spin valve to required setting. Do not
operate this appliance with the fire door open. (See
Fig.8)
When burning wood the requirement to riddle the
fire is much less. Do not riddle the fire with the spinwheel open but fully open the secondary air control
instead. Remember to reset the controls after refuelling.
RECOMMENDED FUELS
This appliance has been tested using seasoned
wood logs and manufactured smokeless fuels.
Other fuels are commercially available and may give
similar results. 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 value are used. All fuels
should be stored under cover and kept as dry as
possible prior to use.
Fig.10
This stove has obtained HETAS Ltd approval for
burning natural and manufactured smokeless fuels
and wood logs only as detailed in recommended
fuels. 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.

When burning manufactured smokeless fuels, to
achieve a slow burning rate close the spin valve
fully, then open it about half a turn. This may be less
depending on draught conditions. If the fuel load is
too small, or the draught is too strong, the spin valve
may have to be closed, to sustain the burn rate.

SLOW BURNING
CHIMNEY CLEANING
To achieve slow burning when burning wood close
the secondary air slide and open a few millimetres
using the tool provided. Slow burning will cause the
window glass to blacken and should not be used for
a long period as it will leave sooty deposits in the
flueways. Opening the air slide will increase the
heat output and will clear the glass.
Chimney and connector should be cleaned at least
twice a year. Once before heating season and once
after. The chimney connector and chimney should
be inspected at least monthly during the heating
season to determine if a creosote build-up has
occurred. Remove the cast iron baffle plate located
at the top end of the firebricks before chimney cleaning.
DE-ASHING
When inspecting a masonry chimney, start at the
cleanout door, normally found at the base of the
chimney, or on the outside. If your chimney does not
have a clean-out door one should be provided.
REMEMBER COAL GASES ARE TOXIC.
Never allow the ashpan to over fill as it will cause
damage to the grate. Open the fire door and remove
ashpan using the operating tool. Close the fire door.
When the ash is disposed of, replace the empty ashpan. (See Fig.9) Do not leave the fire unattended
with the fire door open, even for a minute.
WARNING NOTE
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:
Fig. 11
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Open doors and windows to ventilate room
Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose
of fuel from the stove.
Check for flue or chimney blockage and
clean if required.
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.
DISPOSAL OF ASH
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well
away from all combustible materials pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
FIRE SAFETY
To provide reasonable fire safety the following
should be given serious consideration:
1. The installation of smoke detectors.
2. A conveniently located fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
3. A practical evacuation plan.
4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
MAINTENANCE
CREOSOTE: Formation and Need for Removal
When some fuels are burned slowly, they produce
tar and other organic vapours, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue
of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

Notify the fire department.
Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.
Close all openings into the stove.
While awaiting the fire department watch for
ignition to adjacent combustibles from over
head stove pipe or from embers or from
sparks from the chimney.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Now that your 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 and the possibility of a
chimney fire.
3. CLEAN THE FLUE-WAYS OF THE STOVE EVERY WEEK AND ENSURE THAT THERE ARE
NO BLOCKAGES. CHECK FLUEWAYS BEFORE LIGHTING ESPECIALLY AFTER A SHUTDOWN 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 may cause the grate to burn out prematurely.
6. Avoid long periods of slow burning of damp or unseasoned fuel as this will result in tarring flueways and chimney i.e. timber.
7. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty of air for combustion.
8. Do not burn rubbish/house hold plastic.
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.
11. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance away from the appliance, please see section for
clearances to combustibles.
12. For safety reasons never leave children or the elderly unaccompanied while stove is in use.
Use a fireguard.
13. Avoid contact with appliance when in use as the stove reaches very high operating temperatures.
14. This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer. Use only replacement parts recommended by. Using unauthorised parts will invalidate your guarantee
and may cause damage or injury.
AN ODOUR WILL EMIT FROM STOVE ON FIRST FIRING, WHEN FIRE REACHES MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURE OVER A NUMBER OF HOURS THIS ODOUR WILL SUBSIDE.
IT IS BEST ADVISED TO OPEN WINDOWS DURING THIS PERIOD.

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 stoves commissioning and handover the installer should demonstrate how to operate the
stove correctly.
LIGHTING
IMPORTANT: The first few fires should be relatively small to permit the
refractory to set properly and to season the stove.
1. Before lighting the stove, ensure that any build-up in the firebox has been
removed and that the ashpan has been emptied.
2. Open the spin valve by turning it anti-clockwise. Open secondary air control
by pulling it fully out. These parts will become hot. Use the tool provided.
3. Lay a few crumpled sheets of paper on the grate and then a few small sticks,
kindling or an approved firelighter.
4. Ignite and close the door.
5. Never use inflammable liquid i.e. gasoline, petrol paraffin etc. to start or
freshen up a fire in this heater.
6. When the fire is well established add fuel to the firebox. Adjust to the desired
setting the spin valve and / or the secondary air slide depending on the fuel
burned. (See Re-Fuelling Section).
7. To shut the fire down, do not add fuel. Make sure that the fire door is
properly closed, that the spin valve is firmly shut and the secondary air
slide is pushed in. Cutting off the air supply will reduce the heat output.

GLASS
1. How to clean:
The glass will clean itself when there is sufficient
heat generated by burning fuel. If a build-up of creosote occurs on the glass it may be due to draft conditions, poor quality fuel or very slow burning for
along time. Only clean glass when the stove is thoroughly cooled. Clean with a liquid detergent taking
care not to scratch the glass with any coal ash
deposits.
2. Glass Replacement: (See Fig.12)
a. Open the door fully.
b. Remove the four corner screws and clips and
carefully remove the broken glass.
c. Clean the glass recess in the door.
d. Attach adhesive thermal tape to the perimeter of
the replacement glass.
e. Place the thermal tape side of the glass into the
door recess and replace the four corner clips.
f. Tighten screws.
g. Replace glass only with ceramic glass 5mm thick.

SUMMER SHUTDOWN
For summer shutdown of the stove, ensure all
ashes have been cleaned from the ash compartment and that the air control is fully open, to
avoid condensation in the stove firebox and
possible corrosion during this shutdown period.
