E-FUELLING ( wood)

To re-fuel your stove in the cleanest way.

Only refuel your stove when flames have died down and you have glowing embers.

Before refuelling, open secondary air control fully .

Open door gently, add two pieces of wood (see weight table page 3) and close the door.
Once the flames from the logs are fully established  the secondary air supply can be adjusted to the desired setting .

Operation with all air  controls  open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air controls, or

door left open except as directed in the instructions. Use  of  flue dampers are not recommended.

TO LIGHT YOUR STOVE  (Solid Fuel)

Note: on cold days it maybe necessary to warm the flue using two firelighters.
1. Place Firelighters and  a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) among a small quantity of  fuel in the combustion
chamber.
2. Fully  open the secondary air  control. Fully  open  primary air   below door of stove.  The stove’s air controls  are now
fully open. Light firelighters and securely close door.
3. With the  fire established, open the door. And fill chamber with  fuel, (see weight table on page 3) do not overload. (do
not cover tertiary air ports). Reloading is approximately every 2 hours.
4. Close fire door, set primary air  to 80% open and set secondary air to 40% open.
5. Adjust as necessary.

The stove is only suitable for intermittent use only: do not run overnight or for long periods unattended. Experience  will

determine the settings that produce best results. Use a stove door thermostat to check the stove is not overheating.
Stove door thermostats should be placed directly above glass on door of  the stove . 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.
