Lighting a wood fire 

 

Open the primary air control approx 1cm by turning anti-clockwise. (The circular  

wheel in the centre of the bottom door) 

 

Open the secondary air control fully by moving the lever fully to the left (Top right  

back of the Range) 

 

Turn the oven temperature control to “0” , (All flue gasses will go directly up the 
chimney and reduce the time required to heat it to working temperature) 

 

Place 2 or 3 firelighters or screwed up newspaper onto the fire grate with about  

 

1 kg of kindling and light the fire with a taper. 

 

When the firelighters or newspaper are burning, leave the door ajar about 1 to 2 cm 

 

to achieve a good draw and avoid condensation. Allow the burning kindling to warm 

 

up the chimney. 

 

After 2 to 5 minutes the chimney should be warm enough create a good draw and the 

 

door can be closed. 

 

Once the kindling has formed a good bed of glowing embers the Range can be 
refuelled with 2 or 3 pieces of wood, (do not be tempted to overfill the firebox and risk 
fuel falling onto the glass or out of the fire as the door is opened. As a guide the 
firebox should only be half filled with fuel to allow enough space above the fire for 
efficient combustion)   

 

Close the door, and once the new fuel is burning fully close the primary air control (on 
the ash pan door) then just slightly open about half a turn.  

If required, the bottom door can be opened 1cm for a short while until the new fuel is alight. 

 

Adjust the secondary air control to achieve the desired burning rate.

Refuelling a wood fire

 

Under normal chimney draft conditions expect to refuel the stove every 45 to 60 minutes. 

Refuelling onto a low fire bed. 
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive 
smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing 
embers and ash 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. 

Fuel overloading  
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can 
cause excess smoke.  

Operation with door left open 
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated 
with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.  

Dampers left open  
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The 
appliance must not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except 
as directed in the instructions.   

When opening the door always open gently for the first 2 to 3 cm to allow the 
pressure to equalise and stop smoke from escaping. 

The Range should not be operated with either door left open for long periods. 
The stove door should never be left open when the stove is in use.
