fere with the proper heat convec-
tion and air supply to the stove.
The stove surround should be fire-
proof. Never leave any fuels too
close to the stove.

For safe and efficient operation
of the stove, regular cleaning of
the stove and chimney is essen-
tial. Dirty surfaces within the
stove will lead to poor heat
transfer to the water and the room
and will waste your fuel.

Care should always be taken when
emptying the ash pan of the stove.
Hot ashes should never be put in a
plastic dust bin, bag or con-
tainer. Ideally, empty the ash
pans when the ashes are cold.
Fuel
Inis Stoves recommend that wood be used
to fuel the stove. Other fuels however
can be burned in the stove.
Using wood to fuel the stove, the grate
should be in the closed position. Exces-
sive riddling should be avoided and a
good ash layer on the grate is recom-
mended. When using wood fuel, please en-
sure that the wood has moisture content
below 20%. Well-seasoned and kiln dried
wood will achieve this. Burning wood
with a higher moisture content will re-
sult in much reduced heat output and a
build-up of heavy tar deposits in the
stove and chimney.
To refuel the stove the firebox should
be well filled without fuel falling out
over the firebar against the doors. By
operating the stove in this way, refuel-
ling should only be needed every 90
minutes (when burning wood) at full out-
put and the stove will operate most ef-
ficiently and cleanly this way. Once the
stove is fully hot the control knob can
be used to adjust the firing rate down
to the required output however to heat
the water properly the dial usually
needs to be kept above 6.
When using other recommended solid
fuels, the grate should be in the open
position. Fill the firebox up but do not
have fuel over flowing over the firebar.
Using smokeless coal a refuelling period
of over 4 hours is achieved.
Household waste should never be burned
in the stove.
Never burn petroleum coke in this stove
as it will invalidate the guarantee.
Lighting the fire
The key to quick and easy lighting of
the stove is the ample use of kindling
wood. If too little kindling is used,
the fire will be slow to start and will
produce excessive smoke and deposits on
the glass.
The grate should be put in the open po-
sition and both the thermostatic and
“Easy start” dampers fully open. Fire-
lighters or well crumpled paper should
be surrounded with small pieces of kin-
dling toward the back of the grate.
Light the fire and with the door lock
engaged but the doors slightly ajar let
the fire light up. After the kindling is
well alight add larger pieces of fuel to
the fire and after a few more minutes
this fuel should be well alight. The
stove can be fully loaded now and a
bright high temperature fire should re-
sult. Once the fire is well established
