Door Operation & controls
The door handle can become very hot so use the glove provided. A tool is provided to control the spin
wheel and air wash lever.
Controlling the stove
Diagram A:
Primary air control (A)
on front of door.
Secondary air control (B)
below the ash shelf
The primary air control (A) is a spin wheel on the door. This control is used for lighting the fire or
boosting the fire. This is also the main control when burning Solid Fuel.
The secondary air wash control lever (B) situated under the ash catch lip controls the preheated air
wash when burning wood once the fire in the stove is established. This lever should be used to control
the fire.
Control (B) works as follows:
Fully in for maximum air flow into the stove and fully out for airflow to be shutdown.
The stove is at its maximum efficiency when the lever is approximately half way.
Lighting The Stove with Wood
Lay a fire of sticks and paper. Firelighters can also be used . Check the secondary air lever is fully
open and the primary air spinner partially open. Light the fire and as the fire catches the paper you
may then fully open the primary air vent.
When the fire has fully established and the logs are burning well shut the primary air vent on the door
and control the fire with the secondary air wash lever B (if you are unable to sustain the fire with
secondary control it is very likely that your logs have a high moisture content).
For longer periods of burning fill the firebox with wood and make sure the primary air vents are closed
and the secondary air control is out fully.
