Note: If the chimney is externally fi�ed 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 ligh�ng with wood.
1. Place two small dry split logs (¼ split) on the fire bed. Kindling stacked as
in the picture which allows combus�on air to flow freely and will aid igni�on.
On top of the kindling two or more non toxic firelighters.
2. Fully slide open (pull out ) the Universal air control (UAC) air slider below
the stove door. Slide out fully to the le� posi�on. The stove now has
a mix of primary air secondary air for start up.
3. Light the firelighters and push door to closed posi�on, latch in 1st
posi�on so the door is open 2 mm. (see picture) This provides addi�onal
combus�on air for start up and reduces condensa�on on the door glass.
HOW TO LIGHT YOUR WOOD BURNING STOVE
The stove will get very hot during use and due care must therefore be exercised.
Please use the glove when opera�ng 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, dri� wood, finished, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood, varnished wood or
plas�c coated wood, wood treated with preserva�ves, or house hold waste.
5. Once the fire bed is established slide UAC control to
the secondary posi�on (right side) and push in slider as
desired, 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. Check load
weights for your model on the table on page 5. And use the
glove when reloading, as well as when opera�ng air controls
and door.
4. Once the flames from the logs are fully established , this can take up to 10 min's . The door can now be closed. Leave the

the stove flames begin to falter and generate smoke in chamber unlatch the door again un�l the fire is established.
