The

USER WARNING NOTE

Properly installed, operated and

maintained this stove will not emit

fumes into the dwelling.

Occasional fumes from removing

ash and refuelling may occur.

However, persistent fume emission

is potentially dangerous and must

not be tolerated.

If fume emission does persist, then

the following immediate action

should be taken:

• Open doors and windows to ventilate

the room and then leave the premises

• Let the ﬁre go out

• Check for ﬂue or chimney blockage

and clean if required

• Do not attempt to relight the ﬁre until

the cause of the fume emission has been

identiﬁed and corrected. If necessary

seek expert advice

The most common cause of fume

emission is ﬂueway or chimney

blockage. For your own safety these

must be kept clean at all times see

page 36.

If the CO alarm (which should be

ﬁtted at the time of installation)

sounds, please follow the advice

above.

Please note: From 1 September 2014

a CO alarm will now be a mandatory

requirement for all stove installations in

Hi-Flame Fireplace (UK) Limited

INSTALLER SAFETY FIRST

BS 8303 Code of Practice

Please refer to the current issue of

British Standard BS 8303, Code of

Practice for installation of domestic

heating appliances burning solid

mineral fuel. Make reference to Building

Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws

and other speciﬁcations / regulations

as they affect the installation of this

appliance. See page 13.

Health and Safety

During the installation of this stove

and any related building works you

must comply with any current Health &

Safety at Work regulations. When the

stove is ﬁred up always wear protective

gloves and use the tool supplied when

adjusting the stove’s air controls.

Asbestos

This stove does not contain Asbestos.

However, check that there is no

possibility of disturbing any asbestos

based materials during its installation.

You may intend removing an older

appliance prior to installing your new

stove, and you should be aware that

the old appliance or installation could

incorporate heat protective asbestos

sheet. Use appropriate protective

equipment and seek specialist guidance

at www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos – do not

underestimate the potential dangers

of Asbestos.

Fire Cement

Some types of ﬁre cement are caustic

and should not be allowed to come into

contact with the skin. Protective gloves

and glasses should be worn when

applying ﬁre cement. In case of contact

wash immediately with plenty of water.

Always read and follow the ﬁre cement

manufacturer’s instructions.

Care should also be taken to avoid

unnecessary contact between the

stove’s surfaces and the ﬁre cement as

this could damage the paintwork. Any

excess ﬁre cement should be quickly

removed before it hardens.

Handling

The Alpha I stove is extremely

heavy (79kg / 12st 6lb) and therefore

adequate facilities must be available

for its safe loading, unloading and site

handling.

Metal Parts

When installing or servicing this stove

care should be taken to avoid the

possibility of personal injury from the

stove’s metal parts. Particular care

should be taken to avoid sharp edges

when handling or attaching the ﬂue

liner.

IMPORTANT

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 Alpha I

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 Top or Rear

Flue Option Simple

to switch depending

on the type of

installation

TECHNICAL DATA / CPR DECLARATION OF PERFORMANCE

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 ob-

jects 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 eld-

erly or the inﬁrm are present, to prevent

accidental contact with the stove, always

use a safety ﬁreguard manufactured in

accordance with BS8423:2002, Fire-

guards for use with solid fuel appliances.

• This stove should not be ﬁtted in a

room with an extractor fan (eg kitchen)

without the appropriate worst-case

scenario spillage safety tests being

undertaken and an approved air vent and

/or external air supply installed to rectify

any potential air supply issues which

could affect the safe operation of the

stove. Under no circumstances should

the stove be operated until these tests

have been satisfactorily completed.

• 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

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 UK by

Kiwa GasTec. Alterations to its

construction could be potentially

dangerous and will 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

page 36).

• Clean your chimney regularly (see

page 36).

ASSEMBLING THE STOVE

Your new Alpha stove is extremely

heavy. Always handle with care and

make sure that you have additional

strong help when you move it.

The ash lip on the Alpha I is factory ﬁt-

ted and, along with 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 Hi-Flame 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 4 and make sure

that you have all of the components

listed before proceeding. Some compo-

nents are contained within the ash pan

• Bafﬂe Plate Check the position of

the bafﬂe plate (sometimes known as

the throat plate) inside the ‘roof’ of the

stove to ensure that it has not moved

during transit. This is a heavy metal

plate which directs ﬂames and helps

retain heat inside the stove. The base of

this plate should sit securely on a small

ledge at the back of the ﬁrechamber,

towards the top. The rest of the plate

is sits on top of the side ﬁrebricks to

maintain it at the correct angle and in

line with the top of these 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 the stove’s 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. Once you know how to do

this it is a very easy operation.

See page 36

• 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.

Your stove is now ready for installation.

• Moving Do not drag the stove.

Always lift the stove to ﬁnally position

it. Alternatively it may be possible to

place the stove on heavy duty plastic

sheeting or thick ﬂoor covering to slide

the stove into position, being careful

not to damage any ﬁnished ﬂoor

surfaces with trapped grit or building

debris.

• Flue Options The AL905-SE stove is

delivered already conﬁgured for a top

ﬁtted 125mm (5”) ﬂue pipe but can

easily be switched to the rear ﬁtting ﬂue

option. To do this see page 11.
