Please read and follow the advice and instructions on the safe and efficient operation of your stove to ensure it has 
a long trouble free life and also read and follow the installation instructions before installing the stove. 

 

PART 1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

A stove compared with an open fire is a very efficient heating appliance and must be installed and used safely and wisely, 
it is important to understand the working of such an appliance and to understand the process of converting the fuel into 
heat and its efficient transfer from the firebox to the room in order to gain the most from the stove. 

A stove creates an almost perfect environment to burn wood in.  The firebox will run at a very high temperature ideal to 
burn the volatiles given off in the burning process and the concise air controls allow minimal heat loss into the flue.  The 
Bohemia  X  40  inset  stove  operates  at  an  efficiency  of  71  %

 

on  a  Gross  CV  basis  (78%  Net)  and  is  very  much  more 

efficient than an open fire avoiding the wasteful draughts normally associated with that type of appliance 

Burning wood is the natural way to store the sun‟s energy to then be released in a carbon neutral process to heat your 
house when the need is most.  On a cold winters night there is nothing to beat the release of heat and flame in a stove to 
raise the spirit. 

The preparation and burning of wood as a fuel in stoves can be traced back many centuries, however it is a forgotten or 
maybe  never  fully  discovered  activity  in  the  United  Kingdom,  we  have  much  to  learn  from  our  European  and 
Scandinavian neighbours whose colder winters have instinctively led them into a natural wood burning culture. 

Wood  for fuel is probably  one of the most environmentally friendly energy sources, it is carbon neutral, trees used for 
fuel  production  regenerate  very  quickly  and  it  is  a  pleasant  and  satisfying  job  preparing  the  firewood  for  the  coming 
winters. 

WARNING NOTE 

Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling.  Occasional fumes from de-
ashing and refueling may occur.  However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated.  
If fume emission persists, then the following immediate action should be taken: 

a)

 

Open doors and windows to ventilate room 

b)

 

Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance 

c)

 

Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required 

d)

 

Do  not  attempt  to  relight  the  fire  until  the  cause  of  the  fume  emission  has  been  identified  and  corrected.    If 
necessary seek expert advice 

 
The most common cause of  fume emission is flue  way  or chimney  blockage.  For  your own safety these must be kept 
clean at all times. 

Any permanent air vent provided for combustion air must not be blocked off

There must not be
