3. Fully open your air control(s) and light the fire.
4. After the kindling has caught light, you should almost close the fire door
leaving it ajar by about 20mm. This will aid flue draw during the initial
lighting of the fire.
5. The flue temperature and draw should be established after five minutes,
and the kindling reduced to form an ember bed. Carefully load the stove
with well seasoned wood and fully close the fire door.
6. After ten to fifteen minutes, close the primary air control and regulate the
airwash system to control the burn rate and maintain clear glass, typically
by reducing to approximately half open. i Series stove owners can regulate
the burn rate by adjusting the air control slider between its fully open and
fully closed (for wood burning) settings.
7. Close the primary air control on non-i Series stoves as generally no air from
below the grate is required when burning wood.

Burning solid fuels
If you have an i Series stove please read section 5.4 on the following page for
instructions on burning solid fuels in your appliance.
Solid fuel burns best with its air supply for combustion coming from underneath
the fuel. To achieve this the burn will be controlled by the primary air control (see
section 4 on page 4). This allows you to control the flow of air underneath the
grate. Riddling the stove occasionally will also help to ensure that burnt fuel does
not prevent the supply of air from reaching the fire.
Please do not attempt to burn solid fuels in a dedicated wood
burning stove. To burn solid fuel, your stove must have a cast
iron grate to withstand the higher temperatures involved. To do
so could damage your stove and will void your warranty.
1. To begin, set your stove riddling grate to its solid fuel setting as follows:
