5 Lighting your stove
5.1 Smoke Control Zones
Please check the data plate before operating in a Smoke Control Zone to ensure it is a compliant
product, indicated by the letters ’SCE’ or just ’SC’ following the product name.
The ECB5PLUS SC, ECB7PLUS SC, i400-G2, i400 F-SCE, i500-G2, i600-G2, i600SLF-G2 and
i750-G2 have been recommended for burning wood in a smoke control area and are
manufactured with a modified air control to prevent full closure.
5.1.1 Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers
and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in
the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
5.1.2 Fuel overloading
Do not overload the appliance, this may lead to over firing which could lead to a chimney fire and
invalidate any guarantee on the product.
5.1.3 Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance
MUST NOT
be
operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions. The I series
inset have second door latch position to enable the door to be held slightly open to provide
additional ait to assist lighting of the stove. Once the stove is alight the door must be fully closed.
5.2 Burning wood
When wood is burnt it is in fact the wood gas that burns and this requires a good supply of air
coming from above the fuel. For this reason we will use all the air inlets while igniting the stove,
but will then reduce this to air coming from the airwash system and over draught. As much as
40% of the heat from burning wood is obtained from secondary combustion and this can be
severely hampered by air entering the fire box from below the fuel via the primary air inlet control.
