VII. FUEL

Only premium coal, approved smokeless fuel or wood must be used with this stove. It is best to use dry, 
well seasoned wood such as oak, ash or beech. A moisture content of between 12% and 20% by weight 
is acceptable. Seek further advice from your local fuel merchant.

VIII. INITIAL BURNING AND CURING

Prior to use, this appliance must be installed and commissioned by a fully qualified, registered 
installer. HETAS

 registered installers are recommended by Wolverton Stoves. Please visit www.hetas.

co.uk for a list of approved installers in your area.

WARNING: Never touch the stove with your bare hands when it is hot. When the stove is in use, 
all surfaces of the stove will reach high temperatures. Always use appropriate tools and heat-proof 
gloves to minimise the risk of injury.

If burning wood, remove the multi-fuel grate. Instead, burn on 25mm (1”) thicker layer of sand to prevent 
the wood burning too quickly. If burning coal, leave the multi-fuel grate in place.

For the first week, light small fires to prevent the cast expanding too quickly. During this time you may 
gradually increase the burning period.

Initially, the stove may smoke and give off an odour as the silicon paint in the firebox reacts to the heat. 
This is normal and will cease after a short time. In the meantime, the room should be kept well ventilated 
and not be used until the vapour disperses. This should not be confused with fume emission. Avoid running 
the stove at full capacity for a few days, enabling the paint to cure fully.

IX. LIGHTING A LOG FIRE

  Ensure the stove firebox is not full of ash. Remove ash if necessary.

  Use scrunched up balls of newspaper and dry kindling to start the fire. Place these in the centre of the 

firebox.

  Ensure all air vents are open.

  Light the newspaper and close the door. Allow a few minutes for the fire to establish itself.

  When the fire is burning hot, add small pieces of hardwood. Keep all air vents fully open until a bed 

of hot, glowing timbers is established.

  Open the door and rake the embers evenly. Add larger pieces of wood to the firebox, approximately 

3-4 at a time. 

  Reduce the air supply gradually until desired fire is achieved.
