Leaving door open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke and a
potential fire hazard. The appliance must not be operated with
the door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Overloading the fire
bed
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not
be exceeded.
The weight of dry wood per hour is: 1.0kg for the 9103, 1.3kg for
the 9104, 1.6kg for the 9105, 2.8kg for the 9108 and 4.4kg for the
9112.
Overloading can damage components of the stove.
The stove is
not designed for overnight operation.
Substantial Smoke
Emission
If substantial smoke emission is observed from the appliance at
any time during the operation of the appliance the operator
should ensure they are following the operation instructions and
using suitable fuel. The flue may not be pulling as it is too cold or
incorrectly specified/installed. There might be a down draught.
Check that the top brick is at the back of the fire.
Door Adjustment
The locking mechanism on the door is made up of a cam and
lobe assembly. The door can be loosened or tightened with an
Allen key (see page 10). The door will need to be adjusted over
time as the rope seal compresses.
Reasons for Premature Wear of Internal Parts
•
Stove being used/fired too vigorously
•
Too little air passing through the stove
•
Use of excessively dry wood (wood from old furniture)
•
Excessive debris collection on baffle plate or inner fireback (see section on cleaning)
•
Ash level too high in the ash pan over 2 ½ “
•
Overnight burning
•
Use of a stove thermometer
Care of Glass
The first few firings will cure the paint and we recommend that you clean the glass after this has
happened. This will ensure that there are no contaminates on the glass to attract further staining.
After a time the glass does deteriorate but to prolong the life:
•
Clean the glass each time before re-lighting, this prevents fly-ash from being fired onto the
glass
•
Clean glass with a ceramic glass cleaner
•
If necessary, remove fired on stains with clean wire wool (not a ‘brillo’ type pad) every time
before lighting
•
Ensure all glass cleaner is removed from glass before firing
•
Do not over aerate the stove as this can cause fly ash to stick.
•
Do not run for long periods with the lever to the right
•
Only add logs at the back of the stove
•
Make sure the log retainer points into the stove
•
Most deposits burn off when the stove is very hot, this is with the lever roughly in the middle
•
Do not over load the stove or try and keep it in overnight. Add a little wood often.
