Note: If the chimney is externally fitted or the stove has been installed
on a larger diameter clay chimney liner then on cold days it maybe
necessary to warm the flue using firelighters prior to lighting with wood.
1
. Place a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) in the stove on top of
the non toxic firelighters, place one or two small dry split logs (¼ split) on
top. Kindling stacked as in diagram allows combustion air flow freely and
will aid ignition.
2. Fully open secondary air control. Fully open primary air control. The
stoves air controls are now fully open.
3. Light the firelighters and push door to closed position, latch in 1st position so the
door is open 2 mm. (see picture) This provides additional combustion air for start
up and reduces condensation on the door glass. It maybe necessary to open the
ash pan a small amount( 1-2 mm) to allow more air if the chimney is slow.
4. Once the flames from the logs are fully established ( this can take up to 10mins)
latch door closed and close primary air slider, this shuts off the primary air.
5. If the stove begins to choke and the chamber fills with smoke when the primary
is fully closed, open primary control again until fire is better established and then
close the primary slider again.
6. Once established close the secondary air slider by 50%, for the stove to burn
cleanly plenty of secondary air is needed, do not be tempted to shut the fire down
too early as this may cause smoke. At nominal heat output, expect to refuel your
stove approximately once an hour.
The stove will get very hot during use and due care must therefore be exercised.
Please use the glove and operating tool supplied when operating air controls and
door.
Check load weights for your model on the table on page 6.
HOW TO LIGHT YOUR WOODBURNING STOVE
The stove will get very hot during use and due care must therefore be exercised.
Please use the glove when operating air controls , door and ashpan.
WOOD FUEL
Good quality wood is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use dry split hardwood
firewood (moisture content of 20% or less). The dryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet wood
results in poor fuel economy and may cause a tarry sooty film on the internals of the stove.
Newly cut wood contains 60–70% water, making it totally unsuitable for use as firewood.
Newly cut wood should be stacked and air dried under cover for two years before being used as firewood.
Do not burn liquid fuels, drift wood, finished, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood, varnished wood or plastic
coated wood, wood treated with preservatives, or house hold waste.
