smother the fuel – this will soot up the stove and flue liner, and is
bad for the environment.
Load times will vary depending on the type of wood, its moisture
content, and the amount of wood you load each time.
Never overload the stove. Place the minimum amount of wood
needed to maintain a comfortable room temperature and a clean
burn. Add little and often.
Never shut the stove down until the fuel is well alight and has been
burning for at least 30 minutes.
Never attempt to shut the stove down to keep the fire on overnight.
When the fire has burnt down leaving just embers and you no
longer wish to use it, open the air control fully.
Maintenance and Upkeep
EXCEPT FOR BASIC CLEANING, MAINTENANCE SHOULD ONLY BE
CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
MAKE SURE THE STOVE IS FULLY COLD BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY
MAINTENANCE
Door Adjustment
The upper door hinge has an eccentric hinge pin which can be
turned to adjust how tightly the door is held against the stove body.
This can be reached by first removing the short blanking plug above
it.
