Operating your stove
Re-fueling
When refueling the stove
always refuel
onto a bed of hot embers, once the
new fuel charge has been introduced,
open the secondary air control fully until
the new fuel is well alight before
adjusting the air control to the desired
setting.
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.
Ashpan removal
Open the door of the stove the ash pan
is located below the combustion
chamber.
Be careful this part of the appliance
will be Hot!
We recommend that you use the glove
provided.
Daily Maintenance
The ashpan should be checked and
emptied regularly. You should never
allow the ashes in the pan to build up to
the level of the grate. If they are allowed
to build up, the grate will become
sandwiched between the ash below it
and above it. This will overheat the grate
and cause distortion and premature
wear.
Fuel overloading
Never overload the stove - it will work
very well with two medium sized logs.
The amount of fuel specified in this
manual should not be exceeded,
overloading can cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause
excess smoke. The appliance must not
be operated with the appliance door left
open except as directed in the
instructions.
Air controls left open
Operation with the air controls or
appliance dampers open fully can cause
damage to the appliance. The appliance
must not be operated with air controls,
appliance dampers or door left open
except as directed in the instructions.
Operation with the air controls or
appliance dampers open can cause
excess smoke.
• Never leave the stove unattended
until the new fuel is well alight.
Persistent fume emission is
dangerous and must be investigated.
If fume emission persists, open doors
and windows to ventilate the room and
let the fire die. Have the chimney
inspected for blockages and clean if
required. Do not relight the fire until the
cause has been found. We recommend
that you seek professional advice.
This appliance has been designed to
be burned with the door closed at all
times other than when refueling.
It should not be operated as an open fire.
Typical refueling intervals for wood is
1 hour and smokeless fuel is 2 hours.
