12.5 Refueling on to a low fire bed

If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke

emission can occur. Refueling must be conducted onto enough 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 for ignition to prevent excessive smoke.

Important notes on usage, to meet the requirements of Smoke Control exemption-

Always recharge onto hot embers.

After re-charging, fully open both the primary and secondary air controls for the

following times, to establish good combustion.

12.6 Smoke Control Area (The Clean Air Act 1993 & Smoke Control

Areas)

If the stove is to be installed in a designated Smoke Control Area (further information can be found

via https: //www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules) then the installer will have fitted the restrictor

plate for the secondary air lever to prevent total closure of this air control.

NOTE:

The minimum air control setting is governed to meet the requirements of Smoke Control

exemption and as a result the appliance will NOT shut down completely when in the minimum

air position setting.

Removal or modification of the fitted air control plate is illegal when the appliance

is installed in a smoke exemption area and doing so may result in prosecution and fine.

12.7 Typical burn for nominal out put

To perform the most efficient burn at the nominal rated output please consult the specification table

at the rear of this manual. Please note, many factors can affect the nominal output, so the stated

weights of fuel (Seasoned hard wood, Beech, and Mineral solid fuel, 'Maxibrite') are a guide, which

is a representation to laboratory test burn conditions.
