When ready to light the stove, put a small piece of fire lighter, about 25mm square is big
enough, and then add small sticks, taking care not to smother the flames. When the sticks
are well alight add small logs, gradually increasing the size. Once the fire is well
established and hot the bottom air slide can be closed. When burning solid fuel, it may be
necessary to leave the bottom air vent slightly open.
The appliance will give more heat output with increased air supply, so the controls can be
adjusted to increase or decrease the burning rate of the fuel, as desired.

hand lever to adjust to suit required heat.
Refueling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed 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 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
