INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

INTRODUCTION

SAFETY

Safety is the most important consideration when using and installing your stove. If not installed and used

correctly, a house fire could result. Installation must comply with relevant national and local Building

Regulations and fire safety standards.

IN THE EVENT OF CHIMNEY FIRE, EVACUATE THE PROPERTY AND CALL THE EMERGENCY SERVICES.

Your stove will be heavy, and care needs to be taken when lifting - 2 people will normally be required to lift.

UNPACKING

Your stove will have several of its components stored inside the stove itself for transportation.

The flue spigot can also be bolted to the flue outlet – the stove has two options for flue outlet – one on the

top and one at the rear. - Most people use the top outlet but depending on where you intend to position the

stove in relation to your chimney, you may wish to use the rear outlet – in this case, remove the blanking

plate at the rear and secure into the top outlet instead.

Underneath the stove will also be an ash-pan which sits underneath the grate and will require regular

emptying.

You will also find a glove which must be used when opening the door or when adjusting air vents when the

fire is hot.

• • • When purchasing flue pipe, 5” diameter is required for the Peanut 5, Bignut and Peanut 8. The flue pipe must be fitted INSIDE the flue spigot and sealed with a generous amount of Fire Cement. Note: Peanut 3 has a 4”/100mm flue outlet. In a home under Building Regulations the connecting pipe can be 4” diameter but the chimney liner or twinwall flue must step up to 5” diameter. In a cabin / boat / garden building 4” flue can be used all the way.

fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area). In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015.

Liquid fuels must NEVER be used. WARNING: Wet timber should not be used as this will create excess tar deposits in the chimney and stove and could increase the risk of chimney fire. Timber which is not of a suitable moisture content will also create more smoke and harmful emissions. The Peanut is Multifuel capable – as well as wood it can burn suitable smokeless coal such as Anthracite. Only fuels suitable for / tested and certified for use on closed stoves can be used.

The central knob below the door provides Primary air from underneath the grate – this is the primary source of air supply for combustion. Pulling this knob out away from the stove increases the amount of Primary airflow into the stove. This vent will normally be open when first lighting the stove. Once the fire is well established (see instructions below) this vent must be closed (when burning wood).

gets too hot or not hot enough during this process, then the curing process can fail causing issues with the paint surface. 1) For the first three fires (all on the same night), use KINDLING ONLY, with each burning for 15-20 minutes and each fire using approx 500 grams of kindling. Start the second and third kindling fires whilst the fire is still warm from previous fires, but with around 30 minutes cooling time in between.

• • • • • • • • • After about 2 to 3 minutes or when flames from the fresh fuel fully established, close the Primary vents At high power output, your stove will require refuelling approximately every hour. It is important to follow these instructions in order to achieve clean burning and to maximise the efficiency of the stove Do not leave the fire unattended until flames are well established on the newly charged logs Always refuel onto hot embers.

1) A minimum of once per year the flue system should be cleaned/swept by a qualified chimney sweep or suitably qualified stove installer. The servicing of the appliance can usually be carried out at the same time. Whether the system needs sweeping more frequently than this will depend on use. 2) Baffle plates should be removed and checked for debris once or twice a year as a minimum depending on use. (see following diagram for instructions on removal of baffles).

5- Remove the lower baffle from the stove 6- Using both hands, take the weight of the upper baffle and push it away from you. It can then be lowered down and out of the stove. 7- Once cleaning/ inspection is complete, replace all parts in reverse order. 8If the glass becomes stained from the inside, the air-wash vent may need opening more during use. (See ‘troubleshooting guide’ for other possible causes).

IMPORTANT – the Primary Vent plate (shown in Red above) can over time become stiff due to ash/debris and heating/expansion of the metal. If this happens lift out the cast iron grate as shown below and push down vertically on the top of the sliding plate (a screwdriver or long tool may help here) whilst pulling/pushing the control knob in and out to free it up.

In a cabin / boat / garden building 4” flue can be used all the way. The Peanut 5, Bignut and Peanut 8 all have 5”/125mm flue outlets.

Troubleshooting Solutions For Stove Problems Installed and used correctly your stove will provide years of warmth with little effort but used incorrectly will be difficult to achieve the results you expect and can be damaged. Combustion is a complex chemical process with many variables, all of which need to be correct for your stove to burn correctly. Taking the time to understand these variables and the combustion process will make your life with your new stove a happy one. 1.

If smoke ever leaks constantly into the room stop using the fire immediately, shut down all vents on the stove, open windows and exit the room. Do not use the stove until a local expert has established the problem. Common causes: a. Insufficient air supply into the room – do you have an air brick of sufficient size to feed the stove with air? b. Blocked chimney – have the chimney swept and checked by a registered chimney sweep. c.

e. Not enough fuel being burned – the rated output of your stove is based on burning beech wood (typical of most hardwoods), refuelling once per hour. 1kg of this wood has approximately 4-5 kw hours of energy. f. Larger stove / stove with higher output required for room size. 6. Too much heat in room Common causes: a. Excessive chimney draw – try fitting a damper unit in flue b. Too much air supply – close down primary vent, then if still too hot reduce tertiary and secondary vents. c.
