Inis Mor MK2 Boiler stove

the “Easy Start” manual damper should be
closed. The stoves output will normally
not require adjustment down of the ther-
mostatic damper until after approxi-
mately 1-2 hours depending on the system
size as the stove will take this time to
fully heat up.
Continuous burning
Your Inis Mor MK2 stove is capable of
continuous burning making overnight burn-
ing possible at a reduced output. To
achieve overnight burning, empty the ash
pans, open the thermostatic and “Easy
Start” dampers fully until the fire is
burning rapidly. Fill the firebox with a
full charge of fuel and let it ignite
fully. When the fire is burning brightly,
the stove dampers can then be closed
down. With the damper almost fully closed
and the correct draught in the chimney,
an 8-12 hour burn time is possible. For
more heat output over a shorter time span
the damper can be opened up as necessary.
To avoid excessive blackening of the
glass the damper should be left slightly
open.
To revive the fire after overnight burn-
ing, riddle the grate, refuel the firebox
with a small amount of fuel, open the
thermostatic and “Easy Start” manual
dampers fully. Please be aware to avoid
excessive condensation in the boiler dur-
ing prolonged slow combustion and open
the damper more if it does occur. After a
prolonged period of slow combustion, the
stove should be fired at a high rate for
at least 30 minutes to help burn off ex-
cessive soot deposits in the boiler ways
and the flue system. It is very important
that the installer has correctly set the
pump speed and pump temperature stats so
as to avoid cold water entering the stove
for any extended periods. A minimum re-
turn temperature of 45 degrees Centigrade
is required to avoid condensation within
the boiler. Condensation within the
boiler regularly will shorten the life of
the boiler.
Ash clearance
The stove has two ash pans designed for
ease of handling. The ash pans should be
emptied before it is over filled to pro-
tect the grate from overheating espe-
cially when burning solid fuels as the
ash is an excellent insulator and excess
build-up of ash will cause grate damage.
Stove cleaning and mainte-
nance
Regular cleaning is essential for safe
and efficient operation of the stove.
During the heating season it is recom-
mended to clean the stove weekly or fort-
nightly. Inspect on a regular basis the
condition of the door seals and if found
to be worn replace immediately.
Only clean the stove when it is fully
cold. A pair of gloves should be used
when cleaning the stove and care should
be taken to avoid injury as a number of
the stove components are quite heavy.
The cast iron throat plates are removed
one at a time by pulling them slightly
forward along their length until the re-
taining lugs are free of their slots. The
plates can then be lowered away and re-
moved. Next the upper centre plate can be
removed by pushing upwards at the front
of the plate and then lifting the plate
vertical and dropping down into the fire-
box. Please see Fig below.
