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.
Shutting Down
The stove will normally shut down by itself as the fuel is consumed. In order to shut down the stove for
other reasons, close the primary air controls (if open), then close the secondary air control. If the controls are
left in this position, the fire will eventually burn out. If you want to revive the fire open the secondary air
controls fully.
Warning! -
The stove will remain
very hot
for a considerable time after the fire has died down or been
extinguished.
Warning!- Petroleum coke fuels or household waste must not be burnt on this appliance.
Maintenance
Inspect the inside of the firebox and above the baffle plate every week during use.
See chimney cleaning
section in section 3.1 Warnings and Important Information.
Inspect the inside of the stove and the flue
ways and ensure they are 100% clear after a period of disuse (e.g summer).
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.

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 perform modifications to the appliance as this could seriously compromise safety in
operation.
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 over fire
situation and the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave the stove unattended for long periods
without first adjusting the controls to a reduced and safe setting – careful air supply control should be
exercised at all times.
WARNING – FUME EMISSION
Properly installed and operated, this appliance will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and
refuelling may occur which is not normally of serious concern.
However,
persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated.
If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken: -
1.
Open doors and windows to ventilate room
2.
Let the fire out, or remove and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
3.
Check for flue chimney blockage and clean if required.
4.
Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause has been identified and corrected.
