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. 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.
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.
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.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open fully can
cause excess smoke. 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
