primary air slider to the right hand side of
the door by fully pushing the levers
inwards.
• Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers
on the grate and add a small amount of
kindling wood to the top. Place a small
quantity of smokeless fuel on top.
• Light the newspaper or firelighters using
a long taper and push the door closed
but do not engage the locking handle
fully.
• When the fire is burning fiercely, after a
couple of minutes add more smokeless
fuel and close the door.
• When the fire has become established,
close the secondary air by 50%, to the
left hand side of the door, by pulling the
lever outwards.
• The burning rate can be altered by
moving the primary air slide, to the right
hand side of the door - pull the lever
outwards to close down and push the
lever inwards to increase the burn rate.
• Care should be taken to ensure that the
firebox is not overfilled with smokeless
fuel - it should be no higher than the log
guard.
Re-fueling
When refueling the stove
always refuel
onto a bed of hot embers
, fully open the
secondary and primary air controls until
the new fuel is well alight, before adjusting
the air controls for the desired setting.
If there is insufficient burning material in
the firebed to light a new fuel charge,
excessive smoke emission can occur.
Refueling 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.
Fuel overloading
Never overload the stove - it will work very
well with two medium sized logs. The
amount of fuel specified in this manual
should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause excess smoke.
Glass
Never operate the appliance if the glass
panel is broken or cracked. This can cause
the appliance to overfire, which may
damage the appliance and flue system
and may cause a danger to persons and
property. Only use once the glass is
replaced and the sealing gaskets checked
for integrity, only replace with a
manufactures approved glass.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause
excess smoke and overfiring of the
appliance. The appliance must not be
operated with the appliance door left open
except as directed in the instructions.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or
appliance dampers open can cause
excess heat within the appliance. The
appliance must not be operated with air
controls, appliance dampers or door left
open except as directed in the
instructions.
Never leave the stove unattended
until the new fuel is well alight.
Persistent fume emission is
dangerous and must be
investigated
.
If fume emission persists, open doors and
windows to ventilate the room and let the
fire die out. Have the chimney inspected
for blockages and clean if required. Do not
relight the fire until the cause has been
found. We recommend that you seek
professional advice.
This appliance has been designed to be
burned with the door closed at all times
other than when refueling.
It should not be operated as an open fire.
Typical refueling intervals for wood is 1
hour and smokeless fuel is 2 hours.
