Combustion air regulator (C)
This controls the amount of air needed for combustion and therefore the heat produced.
It is located on the top right-hand side of the door (see figs 1 and 2).
Open: slide to the right
Close: slide to the left
The greater the supply, the more air is allowed into the stove, the more heat the stove
produces, and the more wood is consumed.
The more the supply of air is restricted, the less heat the stove produces, and the less
wood the stove consumes.
The regulator is at the top of the door, to create an "air-wash" system over the entire
surface of the window. This helps keep the window cleaner for longer.

LIGHTING
"TOP-DOWN" BURNING
The highest output is achieved by means of "top-down" burning. To achieve this,
do not fill the stove in the traditional way.
-
Traditional way
: what is meant here is laying down paper first, then kindling and finally
large logs. With this method the load is, however, limited when lighting the fire.
- "
TOP-DOWN" burning
: this is done by loading the large logs first, then the smaller
pieces, and the paper on top.
In this case combustion takes place from the top down and is known as "TOP-DOWN"
burning.
COLD START
1. Open the combustion air inlet fully (C).
2. Open the door.
3. Place the large logs carefully on the bottom.
4. Cover it with smaller logs, and on top of this lay firelighters or paper and finally kindling.
5. Light the fire and close the door.
6. Leave the combustion air inlet fully open until the wood is burning and the ashes glow.
7. Choose an appropriate burning regime and pick a setting.
