Refuelling
It is best to refuel little and often, rather than in large pieces. When possible refuel the stove
before the bed has gone too low. Open the secondary air control fully and add the fuel. Allow the fuel to
burn for a few minutes until the fire is well established before closing the secondary air once again. This
refuelling procedure will ensure that smoke emission is kept to a minimum. Do not operate the appliance
with the air controls fully open for a prolonged period as it will cause over firing and may result in smoke
being produced.
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new
fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of
glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few
embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke
Fuel Overloading
Four good size logs is a sufficient quantity of fuel to achieve the rated output from
this appliance. Never exceed this amount of fuel and never stack the fuel too high in the stove so as it
touches the baffle as this may cause smoke to be produced.
Slow Burning
It is impossible to shut down the appliance as to do so would produce smoke. To achieve the minimum
burning rate close the primary air control completely and push the secondary air control all the way to the
left. If the glass soots up move the secondary air a little to the right.
Warning! -
The stove will remain
hot
for a considerable time after the fire has been extinguished.
Warning! -
Petroleum coke fuels or household waste must not be burnt on this appliance.
Should any difficulties arise over fuel quality or suitability, consult your local approved coal merchant.
Maintenance
Inspect the inside of the firebox and above the baffle plate every week during use.
See chimney cleaning
section in section 3 & 4- Warnings and Important Information. Only use manufacturers
recommended replacement parts on the appliance
Seasonal Use
Remove the baffle and inspect the inside of the stove and the flue ways and ensure they are 100% clear after
a period of disuse, for example if the stove is not used during the warmer periods of the year. Also set the air
controls to 50% to keep the appliance ventilated and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.
7.0 Safety Notes for your guidance
FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS
– Always use a fireguard in the presence of children, the elderly or the
infirm.
DO NOT OVERFIRE
– it is possible to fire the stove beyond its design capacity, this could damage the
stove, so watch for signs of over firing – if any part of the stove starts to glow red, the fire is in an overfire
situation and the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave the stove unattended for long periods
without first adjusting the controls to a safe setting – careful air supply control should be exercised at all
times.
Any unauthorised modifications of this appliance will render the guarantee null and void and could be
potentially dangerous. Replacement parts should only be sourced from San Remo approved dealers
CO ALARMS
Building Regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass
appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the
appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS
EN50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer‟s instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly
or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds
unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under” Warning Note” below.
