Lighting
Important:
Ensure the area around the stove is safely clear of all people and animals.
Ensure any obstacles so as not to be a trip hazard and allowing a totally unobstructed space
whilst lighting, refueling, adjusting the air controls, removal, and replacement of ash pan and
at all other times.
1) Pull the secondary and primary air control fully open.
2) To achieve clean burning and maximize the performance and efficiency of the appliance it is
important to raise the temperature of the stove and chimney as quickly as possible. Thus,
when lighting the appliance, the technique is to open the door and start with a small amount of
kindling with the secondary and primary air controls fully open, use a long taper to ignite the
kindling and then close the stove door.
3) After a few (~5) minutes, open the stove door and add some larger pieces of wood. Close the
stove door.
4) Only when these have been well-alight and the flames dying down, should the stove door be
opened and normal sized logs be added, then close the stove door.
5) When the logs are well alight, the primary air control should be fully pushed in to close the air
supply.
6) Use the secondary air control to control the burn rate.
7) To operate at the nominal heat output of approximately 5kw the primary air control must be
fully closed, and the secondary air control should be adjusted so the maximum fuel load of
0.98kg of suitable wood burns for approximately 0.83 hours.
Refueling
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive
smoke emission can occur. Refueling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing
embers and ash so that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too
few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Only open the door slowly when the fire is low but with sufficient glowing embers to ignite
the new fuel charge. Add more logs and close the stove door and open both the primary and
secondary air controls.

When the appliance is refueled, leave the primary and secondary air controls open for 2 to 3
minutes, or until the logs are well alight, before closing the primary air control and using the
secondary air control to control the fire.

Always refuel onto a good bed of glowing embers.

Never leave the primary air control open, other than when lighting and re-fueling the
appliance.
Operation with door left open
Warning: The firebox door shall be kept closed except during ignition, refueling and
removal of residue material.
It is highly recommended providing the ash pan is not full of residue material that the ash
pan is emptied when the fire is not in use and the stove, with all residue and components are
cold.
Operation with the door open can be dangerous and cause excessive smoke. The appliance
must not be operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
