We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its maximum heat output.
This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and to give a long service life of the paint finish. During this curing in
process you may notice an unpleasant smell whilst the finishes finally cure. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort we
would suggest that during this period you leave all doors and windows open.
First, open the primary and secondary air wash control fully. Load the firebox with plenty of starting fuel, i.e. paper,
dry sticks and/or
firelighters. Light the fire at the base leaving the primary and secondary air control fully open. Leave the door
slightly ajar for 10 minutes to enhance initial starting and reduce smoke emission – DO NOT leave the stove unat-
tended if the door is left ajar. Allow the fuel to reach a steady glow and build the fire up gradually by adding a few
small sticks or well split logs at a time. Once you have a good fire bed
established across the grate, further fuel can be added step by step as required. Don’t be tempted to overload
the fire bed with fuel all at once or close down the air controls too much until the fire is really well established for
some time. Once the ignition period is well under way close the primary air and gradually reduce the secondary
air wash control opening to establish the burning intensity you require (usually open 25% approx.).
Lighting The Stove
Re-fuelling
When burning wood, the fire will die down as the fuel is consumed. When the flames disappear and the remainder
is breaking down into glowing embers it is an appropriate time to consider re-fuelling. Note: If the flames disappear
and there are still lumps of solid wood left this indicates excessive moisture in the wood or insufficient air supply/
flue draught.
Note: To eliminate unwanted smoke emission, after loading new logs on to the fire, open the air wash control up
fully for 1-2 minutes to boost the fire and get flames issuing from the top of the fuel as soon as possible. When
flames are well established, reduce the air wash to the running setting required. Burning without flames above the
fuel will create unnecessary smoke. Do not load fuel above the tertiary air inlet holes at the back of the firebox.
Loading 1 to 2 medium sized logs will produce a good output with reasonable burn time, generally small logs will
burn up quicker producing a high output for a short time and a large log will take longer to burn and produce less
output over a given time.
This appliance is approved for intermittent operation on wood (0.75 to 1.5 hour burn cycles) although much longer
burn times can be achieved by fully loading the firebox, getting the fuel burning well and then shutting the air
controls down. The fire will then often need reviving by first de-ashing and then using small pieces of wood and
plenty of air to get flames issuing from the wood again.
Directly after refuelling it was necessary to operate with the secondary air fully open for a
period 3 to 5 minutes before closing to the desired setting
Refuelling On To A Low Fire Bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed 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
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess
smoke.
