Your appliance needs to be maintained routinely, the throat plate/baffle should be cleaned regularly (monthly).
The flue pipe can be cleaned using a flexible brush. Only Use a dry cloth on external surfaces. Over time the glass
may become dirty, clean with a damp cloth and polish off with damp cloth. If the stove has not been used for
some time the flue should be checked for blockages before use. Do not modify the appliance; only use spares
authorised by the manufacturer.
Distance to Combustible materials
Combustible materials should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or flues could
ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due account must be taken of
the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also
in these stove instructions.

Distance to combustible materials rear
Distance to combustible materials side
The minimum distances to flammable materials are specified on the EN 13240 plate on the back of the stove.
Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not indepen-
dently supported.
The WESTFIRE WF UNIQ 17, 18 wood stove has been tested and is suitable to be installed on a 12 mm non com-
bustible plate such as Westfire 12 mm glass plates or 20 mm slate plates. Installation of all hearths should comply
in size and construction so that it is in accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved
Document J.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls adjacent to the
hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations
Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a non-combustible material at least 12 mm
thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a distance of 30 cm in front of the stove and
15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in which
the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the room is double-glazed or a flue
draught stabiliser is operating in the same room as the appliance. The provision of air supply to the stove must be in
accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this
purpose. Air inlets must be positioned in such a way that they cannot be blocked. An air inlet may be a vent (the vent
must be open and the capacity of the vent sufficient when the stove is lit) or a fresh air system linked to the stove.
The WESTFIRE WF UNIQ 17, 18 can be fitted as a option with a closed air supply collar, this enables the stove to take
combustion air (secondary and tertiary) directly from outside via 100mm pipe from the stove.
There are no European rules regarding the minimum distance to non-flammable walls, Westfire recommend leaving a
gap of at least 10 cm behind and to sides of stove.
