INSTALLATION

Thedetailedinstructionsinthismanualareintendedasaguide.

Alternativewaysofinstallationmaybeappropriateinother

circumstances.Buildingregulationsmustbefollowedatalltimes.

1. Werecommendthatyouseektheservicesofaninstaller

whospecialisesinreplaceinstallationsandbuilding

regulations.

2. Itismostimportantthatthereisnoobstructionintheueor

chimney.Pleaseensurethattheueischeckedandswept

beforeanyinstallation.Auedraughtofminimum1.5mmto

amaximum2.5mmwatergaugeisrequiredforsatisfactory

applianceperformance.Theuedraughtshouldbechecked

underreathighoutputandifitexceedstherecommend

maximum,adraughtstabilizermustbettedsothattherate

ofburningcanbecontrolledandtopreventoverring.If

youhaveanydoubtsaboutthesuitabilityofyourchimney,

consultyourlocalspecialist.

3. Ventilationisessentialforthecombustionprocess.Itmay

benecessarytoinstallawallventtoprovidecombustionair

andpreventthedepletionofoxygenintheroom.Thisneed

ismoreprevalentinamodernhousewheredraftshave

beenalmosteliminatedbydoubleglazingetc.

4. Yourreplacemustbeinstalledonanon-combustiblehearth

andwithagapofatleast600mmfromanycombustible

materialinfrontofthereplace.Theremustbe300mmof

hearthbeforecarpetsorwoodenoors.Itispossiblethat

onopeningthedoorofthestoveforalogorpieceofcoalto

fallout.Afendermustbettedifthehearthisushwiththe

carpet.

5. Aproperlybuiltmasonryorfactoryinstalledchimney,

preferablywithaheightof458cmormore,shouldensure

aconsistentdraught(draw)underavarietyofweather

conditions.Thisreplacerequiresachimney(nottheue

pipe)withaminimumdiameterof150mm.Ifthechimney

andcavityarelarger,thismayresultislessthanoptimum

performancetoandextentwhereitmayrequirealiner

toimprovethedraught(draw)andperformanceofthe

replace.Certaincowlsimprovethedraught(draw)ofa

chimney.Ifthedraught(draw)onthechimneyisexcessive,

thenauedamperwillhelptoslowthisdown.Anexcessive

draught(draw)maycauseoverringandthustheinternal

componentsofthestovetowearoutquicker.

6. Theuespigot(prebreroped)providedwiththereplace

canbettedtotherearorthetopofthereplaceandmust

betightlyttedtotheopening.Thisissothatairisnotdrawn

inatthispointwhichwillaffectthereplacesperformance.

7. Togetthebesttransferofheatfromthereplaceintothe

roomtherearetwofactorsthatshouldbeconsidered.

Firstly,theuepipefromthereplacemustpassthrough

a“registerplate”.Aregisterplateisthetermusedforaat

platewhichisinstalledupinsidethechimney(usuallyout

ofsight)topreventheatfromthestovebeingdrawnup

thechimneytowaste.Theregisterplatemustbemade

ofanon-combustiblematerialsuchassteel,asbestolux,

ormasterboard.Itisadvisabletosealthisregisterplate

tothewallsofthechimneyandalsoaroundtheuepipe.

Provisionofatrapdoorintheclosureplateorasootdoorin

theueforaccesstocleanthechimneyfromtimetotimeis

recommended.

8. Secondly,thecloserthereplacecanbesitedontheheart,

themoreheath,willberadiatedintotheroom.Toachieve

this,thebackueoutletisfavouredbutrememberthe600

mmgapfromcombustiblematerials.

OPERATION

CURINGTHEFIREPLACE

Yourreplaceismadeofanumberofcastironcomponentsand

werecommendthattherstburnshouldbeasmallreforat

least30minutes.Thisenablesthestressesandstrainsatthe

jointstobetakenupandsettlegradually.Thesecondburncan

bealargerrefor1hour.Duringthecuringprocess,thereplace

willgiveoffapungentsmellandsomefumes.Thisisthepaint

curingandisquitenormal.Provideventilationwhilstthisis

happeningsincethefumescanbequitestrongandmaysetoff

smokealarmsintheroom.Thepaintwillbecomeslightlylighter

incolourwhenthestoveiscured,particularlyinthehottestspots.

FireGratepolishcanbeusedtokeepthestoveingood

condition,orreplacespraypaintcanbeusedtore-touchthe

stove.Obtainthecorrectreplacesprayfromareplacestockist.



RECOMMENDEDFUELS

Werecommendwood(dryseasonedforaminimumofoneyear),

HouseCoal,Anthracite,Smokelessfuelssuchas“homere”and

varioustypesofpreformedbriquettes.Askyourlocalfuelmer-

chantformoredetailsonthesefuels.Undernocircumstances

burn“petrolcoke”Thisisaproductforboilersandfurnacesonly.

Itwillburnouttheinternalgrateandbafeplateinaveryshort

periodoftimeandmaydamagethereplacebeyondrepair.Do

notusegasoline,lighteruid,keroseneorother

ammableliquidstostartorrekindlethereforobvioussafety

reasons.

STARTINGANDMAINTAININGTHEFIRE

Buildaredirectlyonthegratewithcrumplednewspaper,

kindlingwoodand“relighters”Ensureallaircontrols(primary

andsecondary)arefullyopentobeginwith.Whenthekindling

isburningwell,addlargerpiecesofwoodorcoaltogradually

increasethesizeofthere.ThereareIMPORTANTdifferences

inthemethodofoperationforburningcoalorwoodinyour

replace.



BURNINGCOAL

Coalneedsaowofairforcombustionthroughthebottomofthe

grate.Wooddoesnotrequirethisandwillreadilyburnonabed

ofashwithaowofairoverthetop.



BURNINGWOOD

Ifyouonlyhaveburningwood,youmayallowabedofashto

buildupontopofthegratetoalevelofabout20mmforminga

atsurfaceonwhichthewoodmayburn.Youwillthenusethe

“air-wash”ventslidetoprovidethecombustibleairandcontrol

theburnrateofthere.

Ifyouareburningcoaloramixtureofcoalandwood,DONOT

allowabedofashtobuildupabovethelevelofthesidesofthe

ashcan.Coalsneedcombustibleairtoowthroughitfromun-

derneath.Atthesametime,whenburningcoal,thisairisneeded

tokeepthegratefromoverheating.

Failuretoallowasufcientowofairthroughthegratewillresult

inthegrateburningoutinaveryshortperiodoftime.Youwill

getsomespillageofashtothebackandsidesoftheashcan

itselfandyoumustensurethatthisisalsocleanedoutregularly

frombehindtheinternalbafeplate.Ifyoudonotdothis,youwill

bucklethebafeplateorinextremecases,burnitout.

THE AIR WASH SYSTEM

Thisisasystemwheresecondaryairisdrawnintothereplace

(bycombustion)throughthetopventslideanddeecteddown

thebackfaceoftheglass,thuspreventingthesmokecoming

intocontactwiththeglass.Itdoesnotmeanthatyouwillnever

havetocleantheglass,butsubstantiallylengthenstheperiods

betweenhavingtodoso.Theair-washsystemworksbestwhen

burningdrywood.Wetandpitchywoodwillproducemore

depositsintheglass.Alsodepositswillformonthebackofthe

glasswhenthestoveisoperatedonlowheatforextended

periods.Tocleantheglass,eitheruseanovencleaninguidor

dipawetclothinthewoodash(notcoalash-thismayscratchthe

glass)andgentlyrubclean.Onlydothiswhenthestoveiscold.

AIR CONTROLS

AIRWASH

The“airwash”iscontrolledviathetopofthereplace.Itisthis

“airwash”thatkeepsacleananuninterruptedviewofthere,

alsoaidingingoodsecondarycombustionofthefueland

reducingemissionsintothechimneyandenvironment.



THERIDDLINGGRATE

Theriddlinggrateallowsashtodropthroughintotheashpan,

thereforeallowingthebuildupofashtoberemovedandallow

propercirculationofairthroughoutthestove.Whenburning

solidfuelsriddlingtwiceadayisusuallysufcient.Whenburning

wood,ashshouldbeallowedtobuildupandgenerallyweekly

riddlingwillbesufcient.Toomuchriddlingcanresultinemptying

unburntfuelintoashpanandshouldthereforebeavoided.

MAINTENANCE

• Alwaysmakesuretheamesareextinguishedandthe

replacecool,beforeconductinganymaintenance.

• Yourreplaceshouldbecheckedonceayearbyaqualied

technician.

• Iffaultsaresuspectedordetected,stopusingthereplace

andcontactALVA.

• Cleantheexteriorandstorageareaofyourreplacewhen

requiredtoremovedustandpreventlintbuildup.

• DONOTuseabrasiveproductstocleanthereplace;these

maydamagethepaintwork.

Ifanypartofthereplaceisinneedofreplacing,useonly

originalAlvaparts.Usinganyothersparepartsisdangerousand

willvoidthewarranty.Whenthereplaceisnotgoingtobeused

foranextendedperiodoftime,keepcovered.
