Inis Meain MK2 Roomheater stove
Firing and Refueling
The oven is designed for use with
intermittent, which means that each time
before adding new fuel charge, the former
must be completely burnt,
only the embers must remain in the fireplace.
Before adding a new load , it is necessary to
slightly open the door inoder to even out the
air pressure before the door is opened fully.
This
will prevent the smoke entering into the
room, especially when the chimney draught is
weak. After adding a new load of fuel it is
necessary to close the fireplace door and
fully open the " Easy start" valve. After 1
min "Easy start" is fully closed. Primary air
valve to be held in its
usual position. To get better efficiency of
burning process it is recommended to place
the primary air valve at position 3.
Inorder to warm the surrounding quickly, the
primary air valve must be moved to 4-8. To
prevent from overheating it is not
recommended
to use not more than 3 kg of wood logs in one
loading and it is recommended to place the
woodlogs in the centre of the burning
chamber.
Slow burning
Your Inis Meain MK2 stove is capable of
slow burning making overnight
burning possible at a reduced output. To
achieve overnight burning, open the
damper dial on the left side of the stove
and “Easy Start” dampers fully until the
fire is burning rapidly. Fill the firebox
with a full charge of fuel and let it
ignite fully. When the fire is burning
brightly, the stove dampers can then be
closed down. With the damper almost fully
closed and the correct draught in the
chimney, an 8-12 hour burn time is
possible. For more heat output over a
shorter time span the damper can be
opened up as necessary. To avoid
excessive blackening of the glass the
damper should be left slightly open.
To revive the fire after overnight
burning, riddle the grate, refuel the
firebox with a small amount of wood logs
,open the dial damper and “Easy Start”
Manual dampers fully. Please be aware to
avoid excessive condensation in the stove
during prolonged slow combustion and open
the damper more if it does occur. After a
prolonged period of slow combustion, the
stove should be fired at a high rate for
at least 30 minutes to help burn off
excessive soot deposits in the stove and
the flue system.
Ash clearance
The stove has two ash pans designed for
ease of handling. The ash pans should be
emptied before they are over filled to
protect the grate from overheating
when burning wood logs as
the ash is an excellent insulator and
excess build-up of ash will cause grate
damage.
