SAFETY 

 

Always keep children well away from the woodfire when it is alight. 

 

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. 

 

Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the appliance. 

 

If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a 

suitably qualified person in order to avoid electrical hazard. 

 

Ensure that the electrical plug is accessible after installation. The heater must not be located 

immediately below an electrical socket. 

 

In some regions power points are not permissible within the floor protector area, please check 

with your local authority. 

 

Do not put furniture, clothing, firewood or other combustibles near the woodfire. The minimum safe 

distance is 420mm from the sides and 1 metre from the front. 

 

 

Do not leave the fire unattended with the door open. 

 

Fires can be caused accidentally by wrapping seemingly cold ashes in paper. It is much safer to 

place ashes outside in a metal container with a close fitting lid. 

 

If a fire is burning up inside the flue, slide the heat output control to the low heat position (to the 

left) and call the Fire Service. DO NOT OPEN THE WOODFIRE DOOR. 

 

If you have had a flue fire, inspect your flue for damage before lighting another fire. 

 

Do not modify your woodfire in any way without obtaining written permission from the 

Manufacturer. 

CAUTION.  THIS  APPLIANCE  MUST  NOT  BE  USED  IF  THE  GLASS  IS  CRACKED  OR 

BROKEN. THE GLASS SHOULD BE REPLACED ONLY WITH A GENUINE CERAMIC GLASS 

REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE FROM YOUR LOGAIRE DEALER. 

MAINTENANCE 

ASH REMOVAL 

This should be necessary only very occasionally. Simply shovel out any excess, always leaving a bed of 

ash  on  the  bottom  of  the  firebox.  Place  the  removed  ashes  in  a  non-combustible  container  with  a 

tightly  fitting  lid,  and  move  the  container  outdoors  immediately  to  a  place  clear  of  combustible 

materials. 

CLEANING THE GLASS 

A good hot fire will burn away any deposits left from a long slow burn. If desired, a NONCAUSTIC 

oven cleaner can be used. 

CLEANING THE CABINET 

A damp rag with a touch of household detergent is sufficient to maintain the finish. 

ADJUSTING THE DOOR LATCH 

The latch is adjusted by rotating the door catch peg. First undo the lock-nut on the inside of the peg, 

then rotate the peg to the position where the cam portion gives the right locking pressure. Holding the 

peg in this position, re-tighten the lock nut. The hinge can also be adjusted inward if necessary. Move 

it in about a millimetre at top and bottom to maintain an even gasket pressure. 

AIR SLIDE 

If the air slide does not move freely, apply a small amount of heat resistant Logaire air slide lubricant, 

Part No 794113. 

CLEANING INSIDE 

If you wish to clean the flue or clear away creosote debris, the internal components can be removed 

easily (See below). We recommend that  you check the condition of all internal components at least 

once a season to make sure they are still serviceable.
