Customer Operating Instructions
Lighting the stove
Before lighting the stove for the first time please ensure all firebrick linings and other internal components are in
position and that all packaging has been removed.
When lighting your stove for the first time it should not be stoked excessively as all materials must be given time to
adapt to the effects of heat. Your stove has been painted with specialist high temperature paint and oven cured within
our manufacturing process, however upon initial lighting of the stove further curing may occur and a slight smell may
be evident. We recommend that windows and doors are left open during this time, as airing the room will allow this to
disappear.
1. Open the air control fully using the glove or tool provided
2. Place a firelighter at back of the stove. Place small tinder/kindling on top of the newspaper and then a few
larger pieces of wood on top of this. Light the newspaper and close the door. NEVER USE FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS
3. Allow the fire to burn until all the pieces of wood are alight and burning. More and larger pieces of wood can
now be added. Never add so much wood that it is in danger of coming over the fuel bar.
4. Once the fire is established the air control can be reduced to maintain a steady burn rate. Never run the stove
with door open
All parts of the stove become hot when in operation. Use the gloves and tool provided to operate the air control and
the door handle.
Secondary Air Control
The secondary air is the air control
for the air wash that keeps a clean
and uninterrupted view of the fire.
Slide to the right to open the air
control and slide to the left to close
Tertiary Air
The tertiary air aids in good
secondary combustion of
the fuel and reducing emissions
into the chimney and
environment. These are the small
holes in the back bricks.
Primary Air Control
The primary air provides a
conventional air draught to
the bed of the fire.
