PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS  
Check that the Flue or Chimney is structurally sound. In particular, it should not be possible  
for products of combustion to come into contact with combustible materials in the structure of  
the building.  
Check the flue draught. This should be done with all windows and doors closed and any  
extraction fans in adjoining rooms running at maximum speed. (See next section for additional  
ventilation requirements)

INSTALLATION  
3. HEATING CIRCUIT  
All water heating installations should be designed, before product installation, and installed by  
a competent heating engineer in conjunction with the requirements detailed in the following:  
The Building Regulations  
The Local Water Authority Bylaws  
IEE Wiring Regulations  
BS 5449: 1  
Any other relevant Local Authority Regulations  
BS 5449: 1 gives detailed recommendations of water circulation systems.  
This manual gives only give basic advice about system design. The full system should be  
designed with regard to individual requirements of the installation.  
Sizing Radiators  
The size of radiator required for a room depends the following factors.  
a) The temperature that you want it to be able to maintain, the table below is a guide:  
Ideal Room Temperatures: -  
Lounge  
Dining Room  
Kitchen  
Bedrooms  
Bathroom  
Stairs  
21 C  
21 C  
16 C  
15 C  
23 C  
18 C  
b) The heat loss from the room.  
The calculations for this depend upon the size of room, number of windows, numbers of  
doors and, the construction materials used in the building. Too big and the system will  
overshoot its temperature and be less economical to run, too small and it won't reach its  
desired temperature. The calculation produces a heat loss figure in watts, of how much heat  
you need to warm that room up to the design temperature. The calculation can be done by  
using the radiator manufacturer's heat loss calculators, and should be completed by a qualified  
heating engineer.  
5
 
INSTALLATION  
Hot water  
An allowance should be made in any calculation for the heat requirement for any hot water  
tank fitted to the system.  
Pipe losses  
Consideration should be given heat loses through the pipework used in the heating circuit.  
6
 
INSTALLATION  
Because each installation is unique to the property, it is not possible to give full details of the  
constructional hearth setting. However, this should be constructed to comply with the  
requirements of the Building Regulations and be made using “best practice” construction  
methods. Remember that many fireplace openings will have a supporting lintel. Do not  
remove this without making provision to support the remaining structure of the building.  
The Stockton stove must not form any part of the supporting structure.  
1. INSTALLING THE STOVE  
1.1 Decide if the installation is to be top or rear flue exit, and fit and seal the flue collar  
and blanking plate to suit. The flue collar attaches to the stove backplate or top plate  
with hexagonal headed bolts. The blanking plate is fixed to the unused flue outlet  
with fixing nuts.  
1.2 Lift the stove into position on the prepared hearth area, taking care not to damage  
the hearth finish.  
1.3 Connect the stove to the chimney system, using Stovax enamelled flue pipe and seal  
the connecting joints.  
2. INSTALLING THE BOILER  
2.1 The Stockton boiler is not to be used on sealed or pressurised heating circuits.  
2.2 Gravity installation horizontal pipes must have an incline of at least 5mm / 1000mm,  
and have a minimum diameter of 28mm (1"). Reductions can be made to vertical pipes.  
2.3 Radiators larger than 1500mm (5’) wide and heat sink radiators should be connected  
using diagonal connections.  
2.4 The circuit should be fitted with an adjustable circulating pump to enable the flow to  
be matched to the system requirements. This can be fitted to either the flow or return  
pipework, and must be fitted with isolation valves to enable removal for maintenance.  
2.5 The circulating pump static head should be a minimum of 1.5m (60"), measured  
between the cistern tank and the pump centre line.  
2.6 The cistern tank should have an overflow with a minimum diameter of 22mm (3/4")  
and a feed, connected as the last connection on the common boiler return, of 22mm  
7
 
INSTALLATION  
2.7 The system vent should be a minimum diameter of 22mm and fitted with an air  
separation device.  
2.8 The Heat Sink (Slumber circuit) must be rated to suit the minimum heat output at slow  
running, and have no manual or automatic closing valves fitted.  
2.9 Thermostatic flow controls (90°C flow and 55°C return) should be fitted to the hot  
water system. These would override the manual pump switch to maintain an  
acceptable boiler temperature and ensure sufficient heat loss in an over-firing situation.  
Fluid filled thermostats should be use of bi-metalic thermostats is not recommended.  
2.10 The system should operate between 60°C and 80°C and not be allowed to drop in  
temperature below 55°C. Large quantities of low temperature water passing through  
the boiler could cause condensation to form in the firebox of the stove, and shorten the  
life of the product.  
2.11 A indirect 190 litre (40 gallon) or larger hot water storage cylinder, with a double feed,  
complying to BS 1566 Part 1 type 10 should be fitted. This should be positioned  
vertically as near as possible to the appliance and with sufficient height to allow gravity  
flow. The water draw off pipes to the taps should be in a dead leg connection from the  
vent pipe.  
2.12 The water circuit must be fitted with suitable isolation and drain points to enable all  
water to be removed for maintenance purposes.  
2.13 If one flow and one return connection are to be used on the boiler use the connections  
that are diagonally opposite each other on the back of the boiler.  
Electrical Supply  
2.14 Any electrical connections should comply with the requirements of the current Building  
and Wiring regulations.  
2.15 The connection to the mains supply should allow complete electrical isolation and only  
serve the heating circuit pump.

INSTALLATION  
3. COMMISSIONING  
3.1 Check there are no leaks in the water system and all internal parts are correctly fitted,  
all seals are undamaged and the air controls and door catch are operating freely. The fit  
of the door may be adjusted if required by moving the hinge blocks. This may be done  
by loosening the hinge clamping nuts, and re-tightening when the correct fit is  
achieved.  
3.2 Carry out a final smoke draw test on the installed stove, by first warming the flue with a  
blow-lamp, or similar, for about 10 minutes. Then place a smoke pellet in the stove,  
with the air controls open, and close the door. Smoke should now be drawn up the flue  
and be seen to discharge at the terminal. This test should be completed with all doors  
and windows in the room where the stove is fitted closed. Should this test fail the  
suitability of the flue system should be re-checked.  
3.3 Light the stove and gently allow the temperature to increase slowly to operating levels.  
Check that no combustion products are entering the room. When the stove has  
reached a steady operating condition open the main firedoor and carry out a spillage  
test with a smoke match or pellet around the door opening. If excessive spillage does  
occur allow the stove to cool and re-check the suitability of the flue system.  
3.4 Check heating system for correct operation and any leaks.  
3.5 Explain the safe operation of the stove and the use of the controls to the user, along  
with the need to only use suitable fuels. Also explain the cleaning and routine  
maintenance requirements.  
3.6 Explain the requirements to use a suitable fireguard when children, elderly or infirm  
persons may be near the stove.  
3.7 Record dealer/supplier details and installer details on page 2.  
3.8 Record serial number on page 2.  
3.9 Give this booklet to the customer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Caution!  
Parts of the Stockton stove are manufactured from cast iron, which needs to be tempered  
before the stove is operated at the highest temperatures. Therefore it is recommended that the  
stove is operated at low temperatures for the first 24 hours of use.  
During this time the appliance may give off some unpleasant odours, as the paint cures, and  
we recommend that you keep the room well ventilated during this period to avoid a build-up  
of fumes.  
After a prolonged period of time without burning, such as the summer, it is recommended to  
re-temper the castings by keeping the fire low for about 4 hours.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Solid Fuel  
1.1 Using solid fuel.  
1.2 Open the Airwash air control to approximately 50% open and Primary air control  
fully. See diagram 1.  
1.3 Place some pieces of firelighters or dry crumpled paper on the grate and cover with  
some small pieces of dry kindling wood. Light the paper or firelighters. Do not burn  
plastics.  
1.4 As the fire becomes established add pieces of solid fuel.  
1.5 When the fire becomes established reduce the Airwash air control to approximately  
50% open and control the burn rate using the Primary air control only.  
1.6 Before re-fuelling the appliance it is advisable to first de-ash the firebed, using the  
riddling grate system, operated by using removable handle to pull the riddling knob in  
and out. This causes the ash to fall down into the ashpan.  
1.7 Open the Primary air control fully for a few minutes, to establish a glowing bed efore  
adding new fuel.  
1.8 Allow the new fuel to burn at high output for a few minutes before adjusting the burn  
rate with the Primary air control to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and  
often to maintain clean and efficient burning.  
1.9 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation and personal preferences will  
be established by experience in using the appliance.  
1.10 It is not recommended to load large amounts of fuel and burn with the Primary air  
control on low settings for long periods of time. As the will reduce the effectiveness of  
the glass cleaning effect of the airwash. Also this will cause a large build-up of tars and  
creosotes in the appliance and flue system.  
Wood  
1.1 Using wood  
1.2 Open the Primary air and Airwash air controls fully. See diagram 1.  
1.3 Place some pieces of firelighters or dry crumpled paper on the grate and cover with  
small pieces of dry kindling wood. Light the paper or firelighters. Do not burn plastics.  
11  
 
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
1.4 As the fire becomes established add larger pieces of wood and close the Primary air  
control and control the burn rate using the Airwash air control only.  
1.5 To burn wood efficiently it is best to allow a bed od ash to build-up on the grate, and  
continue to control the combustion using the Airwash air control only.  
1.6 Before re-fuelling the appliance it is advisable to first rake the embers evenly over the  
firebed then open the Airwash air control fully for a few minutes, to establish a  
glowing bed before adding new logs.  
1.7 Allow the new logs to burn at high output for a few minutes before adjusting the burn  
rate with the Airwash air control to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and  
often to maintain clean and efficient burning.  
1.8 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation and personal preferences will  
be established by experience in using the appliance.  
1.9 It is not recommended to load large amounts of logs and burn with the Airwash air  
control on low settings for long periods of time. This will reduce the effectiveness of  
the glass cleaning effect of the Airwash air. Also this will cause a large build-up of tars  
and creosotes in the appliance and flue system.  
We would recommend that the Stockton is burnt at high output for at least 30 minutes  
each day when it is in use. This will help reduce the build-up of tars and build-ups of tars  
and creosotes within the appliance.  
2. OPENING THE DOORS  
2.1 To open the door, hook the tool provided over the door handle and rotate clockwise  
1/4 turn. Do not force the handle to turn more than 1/4 turn as damage may occur.  
2.2 Never open the door with your bare hands.  
2.3 Closing the door is the reverse of the previous.  
12  
 
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
3. ASH REMOVAL  
3.1 The burning of any fuel will produce ash, which will have to be removed after a period  
of use. This time will depend on the fuel used. Before removing the ash from the  
appliance it is advisable to let the fire burn down to a low level, or even go out  
completely.  
3.2 The ashpan can then be removed from the appliance using the tool provided and a  
gloved hand.  
3.3 As heat can remain in the ash for a long period after use, care must be taken when  
removing and carrying the full ashpan. We suggest that the ash be placed directly in to  
a Stovax ash caddie.  
3.4 Do not place ash in a bin made from plastic or any other combustible material.  
3.5 Failure to remove excess ash on a regular basis could cause damage to the Stockton  
stove.

MAINTENANCE  
1.GENERAL CLEANING  
1.1 We would recommend that your Stockton stove be cleaned fully on a regular basis,  
according to the level of use. Attention should be given to cleaning the flueways and  
removing ash. Regular cleaning and preventive maintenance will help give many years  
of safe use.  
2. CLEANING GLASS  
2.1 While the correct use of the Airwash system will generally keep the glass clean when  
the appliance is used you may sometimes need to clean the glass.  
2.2 This can be done as follows. Allow the Stockton stove to cool fully, never attempt to  
clean hot glass. Any deposits can then be removed using a soft cloth and Stovax  
Glass Cleaner.  
2.3 Before re-lighting the appliance, dry the glass fully.  
3. CHIMNEY SWEEPING  
3.1 We would recommend that to maintain the safe and efficient use of the appliance the

MAINTENANCE  
5. RECOMMENDED FUELS  
Wood:- Burn only seasoned timber, with a moisture content of less than 20%. In most cases  
this would require drying cut wood for 12 to 18 months before use. Poor quality  
timber could cause low combustion efficiency, produce large amounts of harmful  
condensation, which could reduce the effectiveness of the airwash system, and  
ultimately the life of the appliance Do not burn painted, treated wood or  
manufactured board products.  
The symptoms of poor performance related to wet wood include:-  
difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well  
smoky fires with little flame  
dirty glass  
rapid creosote build-up in the chimney  
low heat output  
Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption and blue/grey smoke from the chimney  
To help avoid large build-ups of tars and creosote within in the stove and the flue system, it is  
recommended to burn at maximum output for at least 30 minutes each day. The use of Stovax  
Protector chimney cleaner will also help to reduce this problem.  
Solid fuel:- Burn only manufactured smokeless fuels, or anthracite, listed as suitable for use  
with closed heating appliances. Do not burn ‘petro-coke’ or other petroleum based fuels, as  
this will invalidate and product guarantee.  
If you require advice on suitable solid fuels contact your local Approved Coal Merchant.  
Details can be obtained by ringing the Solid Fuel Association advice line on Freephone
