Sliding it to the

will shut off the air inlet slots
as shown in Fig. 4.
BURNING WOOD
Set the fire by using scrunched up newspaper
and place a layer of dry kindling wood on top
of this.
The use of two or three fire lighters may assist
to light the kindling.
Set the primary air and airwash controls to
the fully open position.
After the kindling has caught light, you
should leave the fire door ajar by about
20mm. This will aid flue draw.
The flue draw should be established after
five minutes, and the kindling well burnt
down to form an ember bed.
Carefully load the stove with well seasoned
wood and close the fire door.
After ten to fifteen minutes, regulate the
airwash control, typically reduce to
approximately half way.
Close the primary air control as generally no
air from below the grate is required when
burning wood.

Please Note:
The high temperature paint
acquires durability by being “cured” during
the initial firings of the appliance. It will give off
fumes which are non toxic, but certain persons
may find they have an unpleasant or irritant
effect. Ensure that the surrounding area is well
ventilated during this time.
BURNING SOLID FUELS
Only applicable to multi fuel stoves.
Set the airwash to one quarter open.
Set the primary air inlet to fully open.
Light as with wood with kindling and fire
lighters.
Once flue draw has been established,
after about five minutes, carefully load the
stove with fuel and close the door.
When the fire is well alight regulate the
burning rate by controlling the primary air
inlet control.
The airwash should be opened sufficiently
to keep the door glass clean.
Whilst burning solid fuel it can be beneficial to
occasionally riddle the grate bars so any burnt
fuel will fall between the grate bars into the
ash pan below. This will ensure a good under
draught is maintained.
WARNING:
Properly installed, with a suitable
flue or chimney, operated and maintained
correctly, this appliance will not emit fumes
into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes when de-ashing and
re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent
fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must be investigated by a HETAS registered
installer.
