OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BURNING WOOD
Set the fire by using rolled up newspaper and
place a layer of dry kindling wood on top of this.
Use 2 or 3 fire lighters to light the kindling.
Set the primary air control to the fully open
position. See page 27.
After the kindling has caught light, you may
leave the fire door ajar by about 20mm. If
required to aid flue draw (Initial lighting on a
very cold day for example)
The flue draw should be established after 5
Minutes, and the kindling well burnt down to
form an ember bed.
Carefully load the stove with a little more
kindling and well seasoned wood and close
the fire door.
After 5 minutes, regulate the air control, typically
reduce to approximately half way.
Refuel as necessary
NOTE :
The exact position of the air control will vary
according to installation factors and some
experimentation will be require to acquire the
optimum position for a burning rate.
The air control (Left) should be used to vary the
burn rate. 3/4 open will produce approximately 8
kwh for a 2.5kg load (1 hour burn time to
refuelling) dependant on fuel quality and moisture
content of the wood being used.
Please Note : The high temperature paint acquires
durability by being “cured” during the initial firings
of the appliance. It will give off fumes which are
non toxic, but certain persons may find they have
an unpleasant or irritant effect. Ensure that the
surrounding area is well ventilated during this time.
REDUCED BURNING
Please Note : Classification of these appliances
are for intermittent use.
Lower or reduced burn rates are possible by
reducing the air inlet controls to a lower setting.
WARNING :
when wood is burnt slowly in a
closed appliance, it produces moisture and tar,
which will create condensation and deposits in the
chimney. This effect can be minimised by burning
hard for a short period, 15 to 20 minutes, twice a
day.
Please Note : To avoid chimney problems your
appliance should not be burnt at a reduced burn
rate without a period of fast burning.
WARNING :
Properly installed, with a suitable
flue or chimney and operated and maintained, this
appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes when de-ashing and re-fuelling
may occur. However, persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must be investigated by
a member of a Competent Person Scheme.
Stop using the appliance if you smell
fumes or see smoke escaping.
If fume emission does persist, the following
immediate actions should be taken :
Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
Let the fire die or extinguish and safely dispose
of fuel from the appliance.
Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if
required.
Seek expert advice from your registered installer.
Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause of
the fume emission has been identified and correct-
ed.
