IMPORTANT
In the interests of safety please
read these instructions carefully
before installing or operating
your new stove. Even if you have
installed or operated stoves before,
manufacturers’ requirements can
vary and can also change with
updates to building regulations.
If installed in a UK Smoke Control
Area this stove must be operated
in accordance with the instructions
to minimise the amount of smoke
produced.
STANDARD FEATURES
1 Primary Air Control Air which enters
under the grate for burning multi fuels,
(other than wood). Also used at the
beginning of wood fires
2 Pre-heated Secondary Air
Control Air enters at the base of the
stove is pre-heated to ensure the fire-
chamber is not cooled down by new
colder air. This ensures a higher fire-
chamber temperature and therefore a
cleaner, more efficient burn. Controls
the air supply when burning wood
3 Pre-heated Tertiary Air
System Pre-heated
air enters the stove
through jets in the
special cast iron heat
sink at the rear of
the firechamber. This
ensures a much
longer, cleaner burn
from the Graphite 5
even in the latter
stages of fire cycle
4 Airwash System
Part of the secondary
air control system
which diverts pre-
heated air down
along the front of
the glass to burn off
unwanted dry sooty
particulates and
help keep it clean
5 Convection System
Draws in air at the rear
base, heats it and then
convects it from just
below the front of the lid.

Buildings Insurance
It is a requirement by some building
insurance companies to inform them of
the installation of a new fixed heating
appliance and a relevant certificate of
compliance produced.
Health & Safety
During the installation of this stove and
any related building works you must
comply with any current Health
& Safety at Work regulations.
• To ensure your safety make sure that
your stove’s installation complies with
all local building regulations’ ventilation
requirements. Low energy houses have
their own particular requirements and
these should be strictly adhered to.
• Do not use flammable liquids to ignite
the fire. In the confined space of the
firechamber there is a real potential to
cause a life-threatening flash flame or
explosion.
• Never over-fire the stove. If any
external parts of your stove glow red
during operation then immediate action
should be taken to reduce the supply
of air to the firechamber through the
Primary and Secondary air controls
which should quickly limit the intensity
of the fire.
• This stove is CE approved and tested
to EU EN13240 standards in the United
Kingdom by Kiwa GasTec (www.kiwa.
co.uk). Alterations to its construction
could be potentially dangerous and will
also render your product warranty void.
• Do not use aerosol products in the
vicinity of the stove when it is in use.
• Check and clean the stove’s flue way
and the top of baffle plate regularly
to help avoid potential blockages (see
pages 9, 33 and 34).
• Clean your chimney regularly (see
page 34).

IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE
• Ensure that an approved carbon
monoxide detector (BS EN50291:2001)
is fitted in the same room as the stove.
It should be powered by a battery
designed for the working life of the
alarm. Please note that since October
2010 this is now a requirement under
UK Building Regulations.
• External surfaces including the fire-
chamber door and operating handles,
windows, flue pipes and stove
bodywork will become extremely hot.
Always use the tool provided and avoid
touching these parts of the stove
without proper protection, such as heat
resistant gloves or other protective aids.
• Potentially combustible material or
objects such as soft furnishings should
never be left on or near any of the
stove’s hot surfaces. Ensure that wood
supplies and log baskets are kept at a
safe distance from the stove.
• Never leave children unattended in
the room where your stove is being
operated. Ensure that children are
aware of the potential danger and
make sure that they keep clear of the
stove when it is in operation. Where
children, the elderly or the infirm are
present always use an approved safety
fireguard (BS6539) to prevent
accidental contact with the stove.
• This stove should not be fitted in a
room with an extractor fan (eg kitchen)
as this will adversely affect the air
quality in the room and could be
dangerous for the room’s occupants. It
will also starve the stove of combustion
air and reduce the stove’s efficiency.

ASSEMBLING THE STOVE
Your new Graphite stove is extremely
heavy. Always handle with care and
make sure that you have additional
strong help when you move it.
The door and door handle, should
not be used to grip the stove as they
could be damaged from supporting the
stove’s weight. Items, such as the lid
and fuel retaining bar, can be removed
to help reduce the weight. Under no
circumstances should the door be
removed as this will invalidate your
Graphite Warranty.
Unpack
Remove your new stove from its
recyclable packaging. Retain this until
the stove is installed and is fully
operational. Unfasten retaining wires
and remove any components, including
those inside the ash pan, from inside
the stove
Inspect
Please inspect the stove to check that it
has not been damaged in transit –
never attempt to install a stove which
has been damaged. If damage is
suspected then report this immediately
to your stove dealer
Check List
Study the component packing list on
page 7 and make sure that you have
all of the components listed before
proceeding. Some components are
contained within the ash pan
Handle Assembly
Thread the split washer along the
handle bolt. Feed the bolt and washer
through the handle grip. Use a Phillips
crosshead screwdriver to attach the
assembled grip to the door handle
clamp mechanism on the door, being
careful not to over-tighten.
Moving the Stove
Always lift the stove to position it.
Alternatively place the stove on heavy
duty plastic sheeting or thick floor
covering to finally manoeuvre it. Ensure
decorative surfaces, such as ceramic or
laminate flooring, as well as the hearth,
are all adequately protected from
scratches.
THE BAFFLE PLATE
Check the position of the baffle plate
inside the ‘roof’ of the stove to ensure
it has not moved. This is a metal plate
which sits at an angle with the base
sitting on top of the tertiary air channel
on the back. Retaining lips on the
baffle plate fit over the tops of the side
firebricks. It is best to fully familiarise
yourself with the baffle plate’s correct
location by practising removing it and
re-fitting it prior to installation as you
will need to regularly check the top of
this plate and the access to the flue way
to avoid potential soot build up and
blockages.
To remove the baffle plate firstly remove
the firefence or log bars. You may also
find it easier to remove one of the
firebricks. Use both hands to push the
baffle upwards from the middle to clear
the firebricks, then simply drop it down
to one side and carefully manoeuvre it
from the firechamber, being careful to
keep it clear of the glass. See page 34

FLUE OPTIONS
The GR905 stove can be configured for
a 125mm (5”) top or rear flue outlet.
Under no circumstances should the flue
pipe diameter be reduced from 125mm
(5”) as this could be extremely
dangerous.
Remember a top flue outlet will always
be the most efficient choice if it can be
undertaken safely.
Top Flue Outlet
For a top flue outlet the aperture should
already be open on the top of the fire-
chamber bodywork and the flue collar
fitted at the factory.
On some models the flue collar may be
contained in the ash pan, in which case,
remove the loose fitting lid by pulling it
forward and lifting it upwards. Attach
the collar using the two bolts supplied.
Ensure that a good seal is made
between the firechamber surface and
the gasket on the flue collar – use fire
cement if necessary.
Re-attach the lid, ensuring it is pushed
towards the back of the stove and
‘locks’ securely against its locating lugs.
When the lid is properly located the
flue collar should be perfectly central in
the lid aperture. The flue pipe can then
be fitted through the lid into the collar.
Again, neatly apply a seal of fire cement
and / or fire rope to ensure an air-tight
connection.
Avoid getting fire cement on the
paintwork by masking the immediate
working area. Any excess fire cement
should be removed immediately.
Your Graphite stove should already be factory
configured to take a top flue outlet with the flue
collar fixed in position as shown above
If using the rear flue option then the rear heat
shield / Convection Scoop should be removed to
expose the rear flue outlet blanking plate
The flue and blanking plate are then swapped over.
Be careful to ensure good air-tight seals are main-
tained on the new attachments – use fire cement
if necessary
