ASSEMBLYSTANDARD LEGS: Attach the legs if required. We suggest that the two legswith fixing holes be fitted to the back of the stove, for neater appearance. If thehearth is uneven, fit one or more washers between any leg and the stove bodyto lengthen it. Fix the stove down to the hearth, through the legs, using thescrews and plugs provided.'AMERICANA' COOKTOP KIT OPTION (supplied separately): Remove the twobolts located to the left and right inside the underneath of the standard top.Remove and discard the standard top, taking care not to damage the fibre seal.Fit the 'wings' to the cooktop and bolt the whole assembly back onto the stovebody. Do not over tighten.'EUROPA' HI-LEG KIT OPTION (supplied separately): Assemble the left, andright hi-legs loosely to the central bridging member. Attach to the underside ofthe stove using the bolts supplied before fully tightening. Note the 'InstallationClearances' on page 1. When used as a log store, logs must not be placedhigher than the central 'bridging' member.FITTINGRear outlet connected to topoutlet by 'T' piece with cleaningdoor. This is the preferredmethod of installation.Top outlet through fully-sealed steelclosure plate (fitted with cleaning door)into old, oversized, chimney with steelsealing collar.Top outlet with 45 degreebend sealed into masonrychimney with cleaning dooron opposite side.Rear flue connection intochimney with sealing collar.Cleaning door on oppositeside.FLUE CONNECTION: Fasten the flue outlet and blanking plate to the top or back flue outlet with screws and nuts provided. The stovecan be connected to the chimney (using approved flue pipe components) in several ways, four of which are shown above. Whichevermethod is used it is imperative that: (1) The route for gases from the stove to the chimney terminal is completely air-tight; seal all joinswith fireproof cement and/or heatproof rope. (2) It is possible to sweep the entire length- access doors may be required. (3) The entireconstruction is of durable fireproof materials- composite board is not a suitable material for closure plates, which should be of steel orconcrete. The stove should be secured to the hearth by screwing through the fixing holes drilled in the legs.AIR SUPPLY The stove needs air to breathe - there must be a permanent air supply into the room in which the fire is installed equalto at least 5.5cm² per kW heat output. While it is commonly accepted that this air for an appliance below about 5kW in an older(before c1980) property can often be supplied by air naturally leaking around windows etc, in any case of doubt fit a fixed air vent. Anextractor fan, or another fireplace or heater can remove this air, even if fitted in a different room.CO DETECTOR Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous gas, produced by this stove. It is a requirement to fit a CO alarm near the stove.LIVING WITH A SIRIUS TRADITIONAL Clean Burn StoveLIGHTING Empty the ashes. Place two or three firelighters closetogether, or screwed-up paper covered with dry sticks, at the backof the grate and light them. When they are burning well gently fillthe fire very full with dry fuel,close the door and set theair control slide to the 'high'(right) position.FILLING: Don't fill with fuelabove the level of the liningbricks.CONTROL How fast the fireburns depends on how muchair reaches the fuel. Thestove has two air controls,one below the window('primary' ) and one above('airwash control' ). Movethe slides to the right forhighest output, to the left for 'low'.Our tests indicate highest efficiency on wood with the primarycontrol all but closed and the airwash 2/3 open. Anthracite worksbest with the airwash closed and the primary 1/3 open. But thebest settings will depend on your fuel, air supply and flue draughtand can only be found from experience. To prevent castings fromcracking, the first fire lit in your stove should be small- made withlittle fuel and the air slide set to 'low'.EMPTYING ASHES Operate the de-ashing mechanism bylocating the operating tool onto the boss on the right-hand side ofthe stove and moving it backwards and forwards a few times. Usethe tool to open the door and lift out the ashpan. Remember to letash cool before disposing in plastic sacks or dustbins. There is noneed to empty every last speck, but ash should never be allowedto build up so that it comes into contact with the underside of thegrate.EXTENDED BURNING Allow the fire to burn down to a low, hotfirebed. Set the air control to 'low', empty the ash and fully fill withhard fuel such as anthracite (smaller sizes are best).CLEANING Wipe the stove body with a slightly damp cloth when itis cool, don't use abrasives, metal polish or 'cream' cleansers asthey can scratch the surface. Polished parts can be brightenedusing wire wool. Operating the stove for a few minutes at high2 |
