Installing the Firestorm 10kw
1. The installation must allow for adequate chimney sweeping.
2. Avoid using bends greater than 45° to the vertical. All flue pipe sections should be as close to vertical as possible.
3. All joints in the flue system must be effectively sealed.
4. All flue sockets must face upwards.
5. Check the appliance for soundness of seals between castings and main components and that all
supplied parts and fittings are correctly fitted.
On completing the installation, check that all the internal components of the stove are positioned correctly.
Check - ash pan, iron grate, baffle, side and back bricks.
Arranging the flue plug for top or rear outlet
For best results use well seasoned hardwood such as Oak, Ash, or Beech. Allow wood to dry out under cover in well-ventilated conditions for at least twelve months. Wood is ready for burning when radial cracks appear in the end of the logs.
Burning wood that is not seasoned will result in tar being deposited in the stove, on the glass and in the flueways. This build up of tar is a hazard and if it ignites may cause a chimney fire. Resinous softwood burns well and gives a high output for short periods but is not as efficient and does not last as long as hardwood.
Peat:
Peat is a fuel conveniently available in some areas and should be burned in the same manner as wood.
Anthracite:
Smokeless a natural form of coal burns with great heat and is long lasting.
Ecoal:
A new eco friendly smokeless fuel manufactured with 30% renewable materials
and produces up to 80% less smoke than traditional coal.
Homefire:
Smokeless fuel a clean burning fuel with good flame picture giving constantly higher
heat and can last as much as 40% longer than traditional house coal.
