Refuelling
Open the air vent fully for a few minutes before refuelling.
Slowly open the stove door and place one or 2 logs
diagonally onto the fire grate. The door should be left ajar
for a period of around 3 minutes with the air vent slider
open in order maintain flames on a new re-fuel charge.
Once the fire is established close the door and push the
slider to the second location. The appliance is designed to
be used with the door closed.
As a guideline refuel intervals are every 40-50 minutes.
Ensure that the firebox is not loaded above the combustion
inlets on the rear firebrick.
De-ashing
Wood burns best on a bed of ash approximately 25mm (1”
deep). Remove any excess ash from the firebox by using
an ash rake or a small shovel which will allow the ash to
fall into the ashpan below the grate. The ashpan can be
removed by opening the stove door and pulling out the
ash tray beneath the grate.
Place the ash in an ash caddy or suitable metal container.
Do not place hot ash in a container made from plastic or
combustible material.
Ash can remain hot for a long period of time after use,
ensure sufficient time has lapsed before removing. We
recommend de-ashing once a week.
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed 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
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
Operation 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.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air
controls or dampers door left open except as directed in the instructions.
