The vermiculite panels inside your stove play a vital role in the efficiency
of the appliance. These contribute to a high combustion temperature
which is essential for the secondary combustion system to perform at it’s
best. These panels will degrade slightly over a long time and should be
replaced in such cases. If the vermiculite panels become cracked, the
stove is still safe to use.
THE ENVIRONMENT
We all have a moral responsibility to reduce the environmental effects as
much as we can. You have already taken a major step in helping the
environment by choosing this product. This model is cleanburning and
complies with some of the strictest environmental and safety standards
in the world and therefore keeps pollution to a minimum, decreases soot
sediments in your chimney and has a higher efficiency rate than a
conventional stove.
Wood is environmentally friendly as it consumes more Carbon Dioxide
whilst growing than it emits during the burning of it. It is one of the very
few fuels renewable within our lifetime. In fact, wood is the only fuel that
the Carbon Trust recognise as being “zero rated” in it’s kg’s of CO2
emitted each week into the atmosphere. In other words, the CO2
produced through burning is cancelled out by the fact that it consumes
more than this during it’s growing.

Ensure you are not closing down the airslides
before the fire is established.
Ensure you have allowed the chimney to become
warm / hot during the initial lighting period.
Check for a flue blockage – consult a chimney
sweep if necessary.
