4.f Instructions for use
We recommend placing scrunched up paper or firelighters in the centre of the grate.
Arrange kindling in a tepee shape around it. Light the paper or firelighter. Once the
kindling is burning gradually increase the size of log until the fire is established.
THE AIR CONTROLS
To start
Open both air controls, bottom left and top right, either light through lighting hole or in
main fire box. The lighting hole can be left open while the fire establishes.
Once established
Close the lighting hole and reduce the volume of air entering the stove by closing the
air control disc partially. If in a smoke control area, you will only have disc to adjust, the
other will be permanently closed.
Wood will burn most efficiently when burnt in complete loads – let the fire burn down
to a bed of glowing embers before refuelling the fire box with new logs. Open both
controls fully again to get the new fuel burning – once alight re-adjust contols to the
desired position.
REFUELLING ON TO A LOW FIRE BED (NOT MUCH FUEL GLOWING)
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new load of fuel,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient
quantity of glowing embers and ash, that the new fuel load will ignite in a reasonable
period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling and follow
previous steps i.e. open controls and disc etc.
Making a fire - wood only
Warning - loading fuel without opening controls can lead to a
sudden ignition and potential damage to your stove and flue system.
