1.1 Before using
Before the wood stove is used make sure re-
quired installation conditions, are met. See page
16.
1.2 first firing
Heta wood stoves are, treated with a heat-resi-
stant coating, which hardens at a temperature
of about 250° C.
This curing process will cause some smoke and
odor, so there should be sufficient ventilation in or-
der to avoid the door seal sticking to the stove du-
ring this curing process, open the door every ten
minutes during the first two hours of the first firing.
1.3 regulating the air flow
The stoves combustion air is regulated by means
of a handle below the firing door. See fig. 2.
The Ambition stoves are designed and tested
to burn extremely cleanly with very little smo-
ke discharge and are exempt for use in smoke
control areas throughout the UK when burning
dry wood logs. To comply, a permanent stop is
fitted to ensure that the air control slider can-
not be closed beyond 33% for Ambition 5 and
42% for Ambition 8 of its fully open position.
A permanent amount of air will therefore enter
the firebox to feed the fire producing negligible
amounts of smoke and unburnt hydrocarbons.
The appliances will only be considered as an
exempt appliance if this stop is in place.
1.4 lighting the stove
Place two pieces of wood on the bottom. Stack
kindling on top in layers with air between. Set
ting fire starter (bag, brick, paraffin) on the top,
now you are ready to light the fuel. The flames
must work from the top down.
The use of lighter fluid, oils or any
liquid fuels is strictly forbidden
from use in a wood stove.
We recommend, all of the first fuel is burned
with the combustion air fully open in the opera-
ting position. This ensures the stove and chim-
ney are thoroughly heated.
Startup/Lighting
Scan the code and select a language.
1.5 refueling
Refueling of your stove should be done while
there is still a good layer of embers. Distribu-
tethe embers with the majority of them to the
front. Place pieces of wood equivalent to about
1,2 kg for Ambition 5 and 1.8 kg for Ambition 8
on top of the embers perpendicular to the door.
See fig. 4.
Now open the combustion air completely. If the
stove and/or chimney cools down too much, it-
may be necessary to have the door ajar.
