WOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Warning: the Nectre Form 2 features a storage area
for a small amount of firewood. Do not overload this
compartment - ensure that there is at least a 5mm gap to
the ceiling of the unit, and no combustible fuel forward of
the storage area.
2.
USING APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST
TIME
The first few times the appliance is lit, it will give off some
odorous fumes. This is caused by the paint curing.
Do not touch the paint work while it is curing otherwise it
can leave a permanent mark on the appliance.
Once the paint has cured it will not re-occur.
Keep the room well ventilated until fumes have cleared.
3.
RECOMMENDED FUELS
Burn only seasoned hardwood timber with a moisture
content of less than 20%. Newly cut wood should be
allowed to dry/season for 12 to 18 months before use.
Wood should be stored in an environment protected from
the weather to minimize any potential moisture content.
For best results, wood should not exceed 350mm length
and 150mm diameter. Any larger, and the appliance will not
operate at its optimum. It is better to burn several smaller
pieces of wood than one large single piece.
Poor quality timber:
●
Causes low combustion efficiency
●
Produces poor emissions (smoky)
●
Results in additional buildup of creosote (soot) in
the flue which will then require regular cleaning and
may result in a flue fire.
Do not burn painted, impregnated/treated wood,
manufactured board products or pallet wood.

LIGHTING THE FIRE
1.
Place firelighters and/or paper and dry kindling
wood in the base of the firebox.
2.
Fully open the air control located on the bottom left
of the door by sliding it all the way clockwise.
3.
Light the paper or firelighters.
4.
If necessary, leave the door slightly open as the fire
establishes and the glass warms to avoid the build-
up of condensation.
5.
Once the fire has taken hold, add larger pieces of
wood. Too many logs may smother the fire.
6.
Close the door.
Do not leave fire unattended while the door is open.
5.
RUNNING THE APPLIANCE
The heat output of Form 2 is controlled by the air control.
5.1.
HIGH HEAT OUTPUT
After establishing the fire and loading it with larger pieces
of wood, leave it running with the air control fully open (slid
all the way clockwise).
This setting will generate maximum heat output.
Running the appliance with the door open will not produce
maximum heating in the room as it will draw a lot of already
warmed air out of the room.
Do not overload firebox with fuel.
Note that this setting is not the most energy efficient as
some heat is lost up the flue instead of being transferred
into the room. However, once the fire is established,
particulate emissions will be very low in this setting.
