USING YOUR STOVE
THE CONTROLS
The amount of heat emitted by the
stove is regulated using the air
control built into the door and to a
lesser extent, by the air wash vent at
the top of the stove.
By adjusting the degree to which the
main and air-wash vents are
opened, good control of the
combustion rate can be achieved.
Both should be fully opened while
combustion is being established.
Opening the main air control vent
can be used to revitalise the fire
effectively, producing significantly
more vigorous combustion.
The ‘air-wash’ feature when used,
should function to effectively keep
the inside of the door glass clear of
smokey deposits.
The spigot on the side of the stove is
for tilting the grate sections using the
grate/ashpan tool supplied, causing
loose ash to fall into the ashpan.
The tool can be stored here when
not in use.

INTENDED TO BE ADJUSTED DURING OPERATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT PROTECTIVE GLOVES ARE WORN WHEN HANDING THESE PARTS.
TYPES OF FUEL
This stove will function with wood or coal, but in general all fuel should be dry
and timber should be well seasoned so as to have a moisture content below
20%. The use of damp wood will result in more soot and tar deposits being left
in the chimney, flu and stove, and will not release heat if thermal energy is
being used to drive out moisture from the fuel.
Other fuels can be used together with wood, provided the base of the fire
