USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - WOOD
Please read the important notices given above before referring to the main instruction book for detailed
operating instructions.
HETAS Ltd Approval
These appliances have been approved by HETAS Ltd as intermittent operating appliances for burning wood
logs only. Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the recommended fuel,
nor does it cover the instructions for the use of other fuels. (Note the Q-Tee II model only is also approved
for use with approved mineral fuels.)
Recommended fuels
These stoves are designed to burn dry seasoned wood logs only, as indicated in the main stove manuals.
The maximum length of the firewood should be the width of the combustion chamber minus 50-60mm
( 250mm approx).
Door operation
The door handle may become hot during operation, use the tool to open and close the doors, if appropriate.
Lighting of fire
Place some firelighters or paper and dry kindling wood on the grate and cover with a small amount of fuel.
Set air controls to maximum and set light to firelighters or paper. Close the doors and allow fire to burn until
fuel is well alight then load with more fuel and adjust air controls to the required level of heat output.
Before relighting the fire clean the firebed of ash and clinker and empty the ashpan.
Refuelling
Keep the firebox well filled (the fuel may be sloped up from the front firebars), but do not allow fuel to spill
over the top of the front fire bars. Take care that fuel does not project over the front fire bars or damage to
the glass may be caused when the doors are closed.
Flueway cleaning
It is important that the baffle plate and all the stove flueways are kept clean. When burning smokeless fuels
they should be cleaned at least monthly. When burning other fuels they should be cleaned at least once a
week, and more frequently if necessary.
Remove any sooty deposits from the baffle plate until they fall off into the fire.
More soot will be deposited on the baffle plate and in the flueways if the stove is run at low levels for long
periods. If this is the case then more frequent cleaning will be necessary.
Cleaning and maintenance
The instructions detailed in the section “Maintenance” in the instruction booklet should be followed.
