dry kindling wood. Place a small quantity of solid fuel on top.
• Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door.
• When the fire is burning fiercely, add further fuel.
• When the stove body is hot, close the top secondary air control.
• The burning rate can now be adjusted by the primary air control.
Re-fuelling. See figure 4
• Open the primary air control.
• Open the glass door and add fuel. (To load fuel, the door should be opened slowly, avoiding a sudden
rush of intake air, so that smoke does not escape into the room.).
• Leave the primary air control open for a few minutes to allow the initial volatiles in the fuel to burn.
• Adjust the primary air control to the desired position.
Very Important:
The stove door should never be opened when the stove is being fired vigorously.
We would strongly recommend that you do not leave your stove alight at night. It harms the
environment, and constitutes very poor use of the wood, as the gases in the wood do not ignite at
the low temperature, but settle as soot (unburned gases) in the chimney and stove. Extreme
conditions, such as poor draught in the chimney, large quantities of wood or wet wood, may, in
the worst-case scenario, cause an explosive ignition.
When firing in the summer period, when there is minimal need for heat, the combustion will be
