Installation and Operating Instructions for Heta SL800 Aqua stove Pevex1018/AH/ver1:Jan 2013
Once the flames have taken hold, the
air supply can be regulated to give the
required amount of heat.
Note:
If the fire dies down completely or
embers are smoldering then it will be
necessary to place some screwed up
paper or firelighters onto the grate with
some kindling or small pieces of wood
to reestablish the fire once again. Leave
the airsliders fully open and allow the
fire to build before refueling with larger
pieces of wood and then adjust the
sliders for optimum combustion.
Do not overload the firebox by loa-
ding above the tertiary air diffuser at
the back of the firebox and ensure
that the wood is retained by the log
guard. Always ensure that the wood
is not tightly stacked so that air can
circulate freely.
Do not leave the door open: Opera-
tion with the door open can cause
excess smoke. The appliance must
not be operated with the appliance
door left open except as directed in
the instructions.
Do not leave the airsliders completely
open: Operation with the airsliders
permanently open can cause excess
smoke. The appliance must not be
operated with air controls or dampers
left open except as directed in the
instructions.
Refuelling
A fresh supply of fuel should nor-
mally be added while there is still a
good layer of hot embers. Spread
the embers over the base grate,
most towards the front of the stove.
Lay a single layer of wood fuel cor-
responding to about 1.5 kg over the
embers, at right angles to the stove
door. Turn handle into top position
(max. Combustion- airflow). Keep
door ajar if necessary. (The door
should not be left open but fuel will
ignite more quickly while the door is
ajar.) The wood should ignite within a
very short time (usually 1-3 minutes).
If the door is ajar, close it as soon as
the fuel is ignited. When the flames
spread across the fuel stack, adjust
the combustion airflow to the required
level. Nominal operation 5.5 kW cor-
responds to 80% combustion airflow.
When adding fuel, make sure that the
fuel is not too tightly packed, as this
will lead to poorer combustion and
fuel inefficiency.
Never fill firewood over the stove’s
max. fill line. See fig. 3.

Reduced rate of combustion
The stove is suitable for intermittent
use. If you require a lower rate of heat
effect, fill the combustion chamber
with less wood. Allow lower combu-
stion airflow. Do not forget that the
combustion airflow must never be
completely closed when lighting up.
It is important to maintain the layer of
