Installation and Operating Instructions for Newbourne 35/40/50/60FS Multi Fuel Stoves
Ref: Pevex1022/AH/ver1:May2015
European and Scandinavian neighbours whose colder winters have instinctively led them into a natural wood
burning culture.
Wood for fuel is probably one of the most environmentally friendly energy sources, it is carbon neutral, trees
used for fuel production regenerate very quickly and it is a pleasant and satisfying job preparing the firewood
for the coming winters.
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes
from de-ashing and refueling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission persists, then the following immediate action should be taken:
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room and then leave the premises.
b) Let the fire go out.
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 flue way or chimney blockage. For your own safety these must
be kept clean at all times.
Any permanent air vent provided for combustion air must not be blocked off
.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to
emit dangerous fumes into the room.
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds
unexpectedly then follow procedures a-d as shown above.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
The chimney should be swept at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice a year for wood
and other fuels. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a
prolonged shutdown period. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one
month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion
between the stove and the open fire.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided alternative
means such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney, the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the
stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
It is possible to sweep through the Newbourne 35FS stove by removing the lower vermiculite baffle and upper
steel baffle to gain access to the flue pipe. The method of removal is described later in the manual on page 8.
The connecting flue pipe and stove baffle should be checked monthly to clear any fly ash or soot
deposits.
USE OF A FIREGUARD
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must be
used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with
BS6539.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
First Firing
The stove has been treated with a heat-resistant coating, which hardens at a temperature of approximately
250
0
C. This hardening process causes the production of smoke and malodorous fumes, so the room must be
very well ventilated
.
During the first firing,
which should be carried out using approximately 1 kg of wood, the door must be left
slightly open and must not be closed until the stove is cold. This is to prevent the sealing rope sticking to the
stove.
RECOMMENDED FUELS
The recommended fuels that can be burnt on these stoves is wood logs and smokeless fuels of which we would
recommend ancit which is approved by Hetas.
Correct firing provides optimal heat output and maximum economy. At the same time, correct firing prevents
environmental damage in the form of smoke and malodorous fumes and also reduces the risk of chimney fires.
