Always try to position new logs so that they are in the path of existing flames by bridging the flames where
possible. Do not over fill the insert with wood expecting it to burn for an extended time, it will produce little but
smoke and tar. If the insert is running with a low air volume setting, turning up the volume for a few minutes
whenever you load new logs will encourage them to ignite faster. Do not be afraid to put logs towards the front
of the fire, the glass will stay clean and the visual interest will be increased.
Setting the Burning Rate
Setting the air volume rate on the Plexus should always be done with reference
to the condition of the fire. You cannot expect to turn the air to maximum and
the insert increase its heat output if the fire in the insert is ash with a few
glowing embers. Neither should the insert be expected to shut down a huge fire
immediately the air supply was restricted, without producing copious amounts
of smoke. Unlike driving a car that accelerates and brakes, wood burning should
be regarded as something that gathers and losses momentum gracefully, and
all adjustments to the burning rate should be made accordingly.
Putting a large quantity of wood into the insert and turning the air setting to
low will inevitably result in smoke as the wood is heated with insufficient air
to burn with. Always wait until the wood is producing flames before turning
down the air volume in stages. If the fire has become very lethargic after a long
period of slow burning, or has no flames, set the air controls to their lighting
position and place a few pieces of dry kindling onto the fire bed to ensure rapid
ignition. Once the kindling has ignited the air direction lever should be set to
its uppermost position and the volume control set to the 12 O’clock position
before adding one or two logs. Never allow wood to smoulder, it wastes heat
and pollutes the atmosphere.
If you have fitted a remotely controlled burner rate
adjustment, please read instruction Guide supplied
with the remote control.
