Important reminders for the user.
1. Take care to insure against blocking or
obstructing the permanent air ventilator fitted
to supply combustion air for the appliance.
2. Do not install an extractor fan in the same
room as the appliance or a room adjoining the
same room. If the installer considers this
unavoidable refer to Approved Document J
Section 1, Paragraphs 1.20 & 1.23 for guidance
HETAS Approval only covers the use of wood on
the appliance and does not cover the use of
other fuels either alone or mixed with other
fuels, nor does it cover instructions for the use of
other fuels.
Clean Burning of Wood
In order to burn wood cleanly, in accordance
with the DEFRA exception certificate
applicable to this stove, it is important that the
Ignition and Re-fuelling instructions are
followed carefully.
Ignition Sequence
(Lighting from cold)
Place a firelighter and a large handful (0.5-0.6
kg) of dry kindling in the stove. With the air
control set to maximum (fully to the left) light
the firelighter and push the door up to a point
where it is 10mm ajar.
After 8-10mins the kindling will die down, now
add four small split logs (approx 0.75kg in total)
once again leaving the door ajar 10mm and
the air control still at maximum. Once these
small logs are well alight, and with the burn
starting to slightly recede (depending on flue
draw etc. this may be up to 20 mins) add the
normal fuel load (approximately 1.3kg or two
small logs). After approximately 3 minutes shut
the door fully but leave the air control set to
maximum. When the logs have burnt down to
embers the “Ignition Sequence” is complete
and re-fuelling for normal use can commence.
The purpose of these
ignition instructions
(lighting from cold) is to ensure that both the
stove and chimney are heated to full running
temperature as quickly as possible so avoid
smoke emissions during subsequent re-fuelling.
Re-fuelling
(
Normal use after the ignition sequence)
When the stove requires re-fuelling (i.e. the
previous fuel load has died down to a glowing
ember bed), add two small logs with a total
weight of approximately 1.3kg. Leave the door
ajar 10mm and set the air control to maximum.
After 3 minutes close the door fully but leave the
air control to maximum. After a further 1 minute
the air control may be moved to the desired
running position (to the right). This procedure
should be followed on any subsequent
re-fuelling.
Important Information
When first lighting the stove always follow the
lighting sequence above to heat the stove and
flue/chimney as quickly as possible, never over
load the firebox.
Always re-fuel onto a hot bed of glowing
embers. Always ensure the fire is well alight after
re-fuelling before leaving the stove unattended.
The average fuel load of the stove is 1.3kg per
hour of dry well seasoned hardwood providing
approximately 4.5kWh of heat with the air
control set fully to the right stop.
In order to avoid overloading the firebox it is
recommended that a fuel load no greater than
1.5 kg is used during re-fuelling.
The recommended log size is approximately
250mm long and 90-100mm in diameter, of
which two would normally constitute one full
load for 1 hour burning at 4.5kw output.
